So I have a question about PS2 emulators that I've asked some people, but I'm going to go ahead and ask the entire community so that I can get full details. So what I've heard is that PS2 emulators could TAS somehow, but are very unstable. Could someone please give me details on things like what works and what doesn't work? I'm especially planning to TAS a very complex 3-D Transformers game if that helps any with the explanations. Thanks!

You have to test the game yourself! If it's glitching (bad picture), you have no ability to fix it. Make sure that you use the 2010 version of pcsx2-rr. As practice says, you shouldn't skip any cut-scenes (skipping cause desyncs) and don't use any emulator speedhacks! To record the movie in .avi or .mp4, press F12 during the TAS or walkthrough playback and select the codec. The recorded movie will be at normal speed (60 fps).
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
