I got Kirby's return to dreamland working on Dolphin, and I'm trying to get started with very basic TASs of it. So I followed mugg's directions on http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11747 and I export the recording. When I do "Play Recording" I get this warning "Fatal desync. Aborting playback. (Error in PlayWiimote 7 != 4, byte 10.)" Are there any settings I need to figure out? Is there anything I need to adjust for horizontal wiimote inputs? I disabled all GC controllers since that was the problem before, but now this pops up...

You need to close and restart dolphin. What revision are you using? The latest would have suggested that.

Delete your save file (or make sure it's the same as it was when you recorded)?

Not sure where the save file is...? I know where the save states are, but not the save file... (i deleted the save states, but it seems like the save file is still there)

Aight so the error disappeared and it seemed to work so far. Here's what I did: -Delete the sav -Do "Start Recording" off of something with no sav -Tried a few random things -Exitted and saved the .dat -Do "Play Recording" However, the recording played itself on the currently existing sav (instead of something with a new sav) meaning the game was doing weird stuff. Do I have to manually delete the sav every time?

You may need to, yes.

Get over it kirby, real men don't need fancy builds that delete the save before playing the movie back. Oh and good luck.

Seems legit.

So the window with the game shows "Frame : #", and I'm assuming that's the frame number the game is currently on. Each single time I do a frame advance, it increments by 2 or 3, rather than 1 frame, and it's very inconsistent about it as well. Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal?

That is the input count, and is perfectly normal.

The frame advance is defaulted on visual frames, unless you specifically set it not to. It's pointless to do so, though, since dolphin ignores every other input anyway.
