Partial replication. I was able to obtain this crash using Octoshock running Civilization II (USA) [D25D7ECA Civilization II [SLUS-00792].cue] by opening TAStudio only and unpausing. Virtual Pad had no bearing on the crash in separate tests. Attempting to frame-advance within TAStudio yielded an unhandled exception, followed by the aforementioned crash:

Also, I'm running into out of memory exceptions while attempting to test TAStudio within the context of crashing this within N64 while using Virtual Pad; checking with SM64 Chaos Edition shows 1013828K Private Bytes and 818108K Working Set as of frame 552. Disengaging TAStudio immediately resolves the memory issues (it drops to 444364K Private Bytes and 244180K Working Set). Majora's Mask crashes with an Out of Memory at Frame 479. Because of the crash I can't get a live number but pausing with TAStudio open and bringing it to frame 478 via frame advance shows 975260K Private Bytes and 786088K Working Set, and as soon as I try to advance out of 479 it crashes. Frame 479 every time, too. tl;dr: The issue seems to be with TAStudio, not with Virtual Pad. Partial replication under Octoshock. I've edited my bug reporting thread post to reflect this.

Yep. That's the one that N64 was throwing.

I just occured this bug. What I did: -Open Bust-a-move 2: arcade edition(Good dump according to Bizhawk) -Record a movie using TAStudio -Save Movie(Save as) -Open other games + Close Bizhawk -Open Bust-a-move 2: Arcade edition ->Open TAStudio ->Attempt to load the movie created. Note that I did not follow exactly what things I shouldn't report, what things I should report.

Hello programmers, I have a small question, I'd like to know what is the current state of TAStudio concerning creating a TAS movie? Is it safe or not? I'm asking this because I got a bug recently with TAStudio while recording a N64 run. So I'm not sure if it's usable or not. Niamek

It's mostly safe, but make backups often, in case you do something far from expected. And if you report bugs, figure and out exact and reliable reproduction steps to help fixing it properly.

Feos, Thank you for the quick answer. :) I did one report recently, I'm not sure if you saw it, it's this one: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=421229#421229 I'd like to know if the steps are precise enough. Honestly, I didn't note exactly how I made it, but I know I did these steps + Changing the core(mentionned in the next post) EDIT: Remembered I didn't try to reproduce it. I'll try to reproduce it soon. REDIT: Sorry, can't reproduce it.

Hello, Somehow I made a TAStudio file that contain no movie system Id. I'd like to know if I can add it manually to try to recuperate what I did yesterday? I can't repro how I did it sadly. I just did my movie, then saved.

This error happens for me when when the project gets corrupted during saving, so you won't even be able to open it and change the id. But please try to reproduce, this is an annoying bug I don't understand.

Hello, I'm a new BizHawk user. I recently started a TAS of a Genesis game. I saved my project (.tasproj), and opened it a couple of times already. Today I try to open it (TAStudio > File > Open), and I get an error, can't open the file. I use BizHawk v1.11.2. Here is the error message. I hope you will understand it even with the french D: Could you help me please ?

Were you able to open it recently with the same version of bizhawk, or it was a different version?

Upload the project somewhere. Or just unzip it and remove the Greenzone file.

I guess you're asking me to unzip the project, remove the greenzone file, then zip it, and try to load it with TAStudio ? I don't know how to zip it again, what format is it ?

Well, I meant you need to just open it as an archive and remove the Greenzone, no need to unpack and pack again. And yes, you should try loading it to tastudio then.

Usually it holds your savestates, but after some version branch states and current branch were added in the end. And then they were moved to different files. But I have no idea what went wrong for you, since you used the same version, and don't know what steps have caused the bug.

In future, drop everything after the "Texte de l'exception" paragraph from your paste.

Exact reproduction steps? Also, "Loaded Assemblies" aren't needed.

Just load an unedited American SMW rom and open TASStudio. You get a weird error text box crash thing instead of a massive table of inputs (what I think TASStudio looks like).
