My movie-fixes branch has been merged to master (as of 3.0-828). Notable changes: - No more manually deleting wii saves to playback a wii movie that starts with no save. - Added an option to pause on the last frame of a movie.
Awesome. Thanks !

Oh my god, you are a godsend. I hope that this will sync with my TAS so far. I've been dying for this.

D: It desyncs at the very beginning. I'm still using 3.0-766. All I need is that "Dolphin 789 avsync x86" that you gave me before with the pause at end of playback. I really need to learn how to do all this stuff myself, I can't keep asking you to do this. What exactly causes it to desync?

Core changes (which happen every other day) will frequently change sync. Info on compiling dolphin is at http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Windows_Build

New changes: otu0001's wiimote fixes are now in master. There is no longer a 40 MiB limit to movies. Md5 checksums are now saved to the .dtm, and verified when playing back a movie. The input counter now works for wii games when using a gc controller.

I didn't know about this! Would this stop a 6 hour GameCube game run from being completed on, say, 3.0-508?

Er, gc is 8 bytes per frame. 40 mib would be 5,242,880 frames. You'd be cutting it close with 4 controllers, but otherwise it's really only a concern with (multiple) wiimotes. And even then...

I may want to TAS a 24 hour game in the future...

Make it the first bot TAS when this emulator gets bot abilities!
<ccfreak2k> There is no 'ctrl' button on DeHackEd's computer. DeHackEd is always in control.

Does hex-editing works for GC game ? If so, is there some values to replace ?

Wiki: DTM Each input record is constant 8 bytes, but only used records are stored, so number of records per frame can vary (from 0 on lag frames to multiple times each controller if game polls multiple times).

The controller is actually always polled at 60 fps.

Hey rog, can the latest Dolphin handle .dtms that are bigger than 115,423,150,265,087,935,975,729,091,546,140,000,000 frames long? Because thats how long I think it would take to get a superswim to underflow... if it's a float. If it's a double we are all fucked. And yes, I do realize that is 5 x 10^32 hours (More years than any of us are going to live).

No, but it could be made to without much difficulty.

Actually it wouldn't be quite so easy. Right now, the theoretical limit is 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 frames, since frame count is stored as 64 bit unsigned int. This could easily be changed to any arbitrary size, but then there's another problem: the entire movie is stored in ram (also your hdd...) uncompressed. That would need to be changed if you wanted to go over a few billion frames. So try to keep your movies shorter than a billion or two frames.
