I have a problem with the replaying of movies: Some games desync, somes don't. I tried a few published movies: Super Mario Bros Tetris DS the N+ WIPs from andymac strangely Brain Age doesn't desync and when I make a movie by myself, there is no problem with it at all. I use the newest desmume version (0.9.7) and I'm sure, I use the right game versions (e.g. "0434 New Super Mario Bros. (U)"). PS: I also have the feeling that my rereplays are slower than the actual encodes. I have an replay speed of 60 fps, are these movies maybe based on 50 fps?

I'm guessing Brain Age requires Advanced Bus-Level Timing on, so you have that setting checked. However, the New Super Mario Bros. movie submission text states that Advanced Bus-Level Timing needs to be off for that movie to sync. Also, Fast Fetch-Execute and Fix ARM Cycle Count need to be off when playing back Tetris DS (also in that run's submission text). I don't know which DeSmuME andymac used for his WIPs, but considering the first ones are from mid-2009, I doubt he used 0.9.7. You probably have to find and download an older DeSmuME to sync the N+ WIPs.

You are right, disabling Advanced Bus-Level Timing makes the New Super Mario Bros. movie work well. But I can't find any options that are called Fast Fetch-Execute or Fix ARM Cycle Count, where do I find them in the DeSmuME menu? (I really should pay more attention to such notes...)

I just checked, and those options were from 0.9.4, and have been removed since 0.9.7. DeSmuME 0.9.4 is needed to sync the Tetris DS movie, and I managed to find that version here.

Thank you very much, the 0.9.4 version also made the n+ movies work.

So I am attempting to TAS New Super Mario Bros. and at a certain point of the playback, the ROM automatically resets itself and does not move at all. I don't know what is causing to happen, and I tested it by playing Pokemon Diamond as well and around 10 minutes in, the same thing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I am using DeSmuME 0.9.10, by the way.
