We don't want to support non-arcades because they are quite poorly emulated to be frank. It's either emulated worse than our currently supported emulators do it, or worse than emulators we currently don't support do it. But I don't think any system the MESS part supports is actually good and up to our standards on accuracy.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
Very excited to see this. I was starting to lose my hopes on mamehawk due to not hearing about it in quite a while (thought the project was abandoned because of libtas), but it's nice to be proven wrong. Keep it up, feos. :)

I get the feeling that tas tools going into upstream MAME is too good to be true..
I mean, being able to tas Windows xp would open a ton of possibilities..
Has any work been done for upstream MAME tas?
Not MAME, PCem! MAME doesn't emulate anything above 486. PCem has high chance of being added to bizhawk.

Looking forward to that too! With all the trouble I have with libtas, I went back to testing bizhawk.
I've started work on an in-house Odyssey 2 core. I know we have an unfinished O2EM waterbox core, but I wanted a I8048 cpu core so this seemed worth it. It will be slow going but if anyone has any suggestions feel free to ask.
How possible is to implement a Dreamcast core? Using flycast source as base: https://github.com/flyinghead/flycast
Flyinghead is okay with forking it as long as you guys use the same name for the core.

Is there an advantage of using this type of core vs. the waterboxed O2EM?
The I8048 is the sound processor in the original Donkey Kong arcade system, so my thought when I first came up with the idea was to use Odyssey 2 as a proof for the CPU and a stepping stone to that. However with the impressively rapid development of MAMEHawk, this goal now seems unnecessary. So no there isn't really an advantage, I just felt like doing it. Presumably the O2 is simple enough that having the fine grain details of an in-house core won't really matter.

I have a WIP version of the MC6800 which is used in all the Adam's peripherals, so it's closer then it was, but I don't yet have a proof for it. The only system that used the chip was the APF MP1000, and I lack the motivation to work on such a boring system. Also, the expansion pack for the colecovision that makes most of the Adam games (or ports of them) workable makes it a low priority for me.
Still, if someone made an APF MP1000 core to proof out the MC6800, I'd be willing to help put everything together to get a proper Adam core going, but otherwise no.

Not very possible I'd guess, that would be a huge undertaking, it would probably take a new, dedicated person to do it.
Great stuff about the upcoming cores! Can't wait for the Odyssey one. I've also seen that there is a Fairchild Channel F core that seemed to be in development at one point.

Does BizHawk for Linux use a different Commodore 64 core? I'm trying to watch a Superman input file. All the movie properties match excepting emuVersion field.
If I playback it, it goes out of sync after LOAD command is entered.

TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
Small update on Odyssey2. A lot of things are getting cleaned up and into a functional state. I can get in game with controller support now. A lot of things don't work yet but things are progressing at a reasonable pace.
It turns out that this system is quite cumbersome. The PPU is very unconventional and un-intuitive, and the input/output functions of the CPU are used in tricky ways. Good thing there is good documentation or I would be quite lost.
Hey guys, any chance Sega Saturn Mednafen core will be updated to newer version, because current one has some issues with certain games, and lots of them were resolved in later core versions. As their core goes higher than one used in latest bizhawk.

You know, I asked that back in June 2018.
It is part of a milestone update but even that's just a "we'll do it... eventually."
That and PlayStation honestly need the updates.
Saturnus is a Waterbox core which from what I was told way back was only one person can maintain it.
Compared to PlayStation (for example sake) basically as long as you can do a pull request anyone can do it.

BizHawk 2.3.3 Released
This is a pretty major update to TASing tools. TAStudio is now 2-3x faster! As well as numerous bug fixes and improvements. Ram Watch and Ram Search have been sped up a great deal too.
And we have a new mGBA, and a bazillion fixes. Enjoy!
It was almost complete, and it just would have been nice. Thats just my opinion.
source?
