I dont have a savestate at this point, but i need to resume from there.
//Edit: okay its kinda strange but it seems to work...
-open rom
-play the movie
-pause at the point where you wanna resume recording
-create a savestate and load it right away
this will force snes9x to resume recording.
I dont know why the menuoption wont do this but... ahh dont ask me.
Hm, strange bug. Thanks for reporting it.
Anyway, to resume from a point, make a savestate there (Shift+F1), then load the savestate in read+write mode (F1).
Well it's not a bug, the menu item is always greyed out and isn't linked to a routine, nor is a routine created for the purpose of the menu item
It's a design bug then.
I agree. A greyed out item indicates the user there is something that blocks this function right now but it will become active as soon as it can.
(For example the read-only mode)
Having a menuoption that is greyed out all the time is just senseless, why have it then in the first place?

That's exactly what I told you to do and that is and has always been the standard way to resume recording, so there's nothing strange about it :) Glad you got it work.
@Brushy: Yeah i didnt got what you where saying, i was asuming you told me to load an allready existing savestate. Didnt know you can just create one while the movie is playing.
@Mysterypea: Whats wrong about adding the menuoption with the update when it comes avaible and not 3 versions before that? As you see this way its just confusing people...

The developers need to be able to access the not-yet-complete feature so they can test it. And they shouldn't have to excise that code just because it's not ready when a new release is made, so they just disable the button (and, ideally, add mouseover text to tell the user that it's not ready yet).
That may not apply in this specific case, but it's a decent rule of thumb any time you have a project that's being worked on by a small team as a hobby.
