So this is probably some silly setting I enabled like an idiot or something (or it's a known bug, I'm way out of the loop), but Majora's Mask has a few graphical bugs. Whenever you pause the game, the background goes entirely black (this also happens in the Zelda flashback cutscene), and enemies don't seem to flash red when hit. Pure Interpreter, Rice plugin. Also, on an unrelated note, EmuHawk hangs whenever I exit, and I have to kill the task in task manager.
feos, there are many possible reasons. We havent comprehensively analyzed the codebase for excessive allocations of memory because none of our computers are that marginal. But when .net apps burn through memory, they can freeze occasionally, that's a fact.

Rice sucks for MM and OoT. Use Glide64 (not mk2).
Also you should know that recording from a savestate is currently broken again.
For Game Boy emulation, how about implementing an ability to play 4-player Game Boy games (not just Super Game Boy).
Also, what about supporting more than two controllers on the following: NES (4 players), SNES (8 players), Genesis (8 players), PC Engine (5 players).

NES 4 player is already supported (switch to NEShawk and go to the NES-> controller config)
Genesis 8 player is supported (look in Genesis -> Controller config)
PCE 5 player is supported (looked in PCE -> Controller config)
You say "how about" like we haven't considered it, all things you mention that haven't been supported intend to be at some point, it is just a matter of priority.

No one has ever really used the gameboy link cable feature ever; I have little motivation to add an even rarer permutation of it.
I am very concerned that the existing NES 4 player support is not working correctly for you. I have tested it and noticed no problems; could you please post a bug report about it on the tracker?
I am somewhat less concerned that the existing Genesis multitap support is not working correctly, but I suppose I should fix that too. Could you please post a bug report about it on the tracker?
SNES alternate controller support is on the TODO list.
PCE 5 player not working is not my department, but you should post a bug report about it on the tracker.

I quickly figured it out. I had to go to configuration, change the control settings, and reboot the core. So there is no need for it.
I'm not sure if I have asked this before, but how is Saturn emulation on BizHawk?
Is it stable enough to make a simple TAS or completely impossible?
If it's at least as stable as fba-rr, then I think I can make a few TASes on it.
Option to set the frame timing (pre 1.7.x vs 1.7.x)
Will Atari2600Hawk be getting this option too?
Also, what were the sync changes that occurred in SMSHawk in BizHawk 1.7.0? Were they anything as major as the new A2600 and GB(C) frame timing?

The only change I see is different game gear controller handling.
Is another option really needed for A2600? Most of the movies on this site are 2 minute thingies.
Are there RTC option for Pokemon games on GBC/GBA in the fation of VBA?
I know Bizhawk has RTC option, but the in-game time doesn't match the real time anymore after I run the game again after saving for the first time.

Do you mean that in Pokémon Crystal, Silver, Gold don't advance normally. Like if I play Monday, save, and then start playing Tuesday, the game won't be on Tuesday?
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.

Exactly.
Is it because the watch battery inside the cartridge is not emulated?

Not entirely. That battery is actually your Save battery. Without it, the game's save data will be lost.

Look at the RTC realtime options in the core settings. If that doesn't help with your pokeymans, write up a test case together with the expected behavior on our bug tracker.
We can have a function that allows for 4 players on Game Boy games. (multiple instances of the same game).
For GBA games, multiplayer functionality with 1 game pak (single pak link), up to 4 (multi pak link) or 5 (wireless).
Maybe have a functionality that can interact with Dolphin to use GCN-GBA connectivity?
And we could even have support for the e-Reader.
1.8.0 is the version where GBA support is implemented.
Any word on when TAStudio is complete?

GCN-GBA is unlikely.
Multi GBA is on the list of things to do, but not for 1.8.0; if there are any games you'd really like to multi GBA tas, mention it here http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15721
You mean, the option that restores the timing to an older configuration, after it was changed in an effort to improve it, which generated pushback? But that hasn't happened for a2600, so what sense does an option make?
this stale frame bug in most zelda jp roms...
what happens? can someone explain?
The stale frame bug has to do with savestates, most notably in the Zelda games. If you loaded a state sometimes a garbage frame would be displayed when you frame advanced. This was due to a bad default plugin setting for those games which has been fixed in the gamedb and will be a part of the upcoming 1.8.0 release.
The only change I see is different game gear controller handling.
Ah, so nothing to worry about. Thanks!

It would still be nice to have the option of more accurate timing. It could help those movies sync on a A2600Bot someday.
Neither timing is more emulation accurate than the other.
Any A2600Bot sync test would probably use some sort of on_snoop() log, and wouldn't be particularly affected by timing choice in that case.
