I'm trying to make a TAS of Charlie and the chocolate Factory and multiple bugs with the emulator that make it impossible to TAS. only when recording input the game has major graphical issues I've found that disabling dual core gets rid of it but that has its OWN set of problems. Multiple levels don't load and crash but when they do load they crash almost instantly. I've asked in multiple different places and haven't gotten an answer someone please help with this.

Dual core should always be off when TASing. See this thread for other sync-related settings that should be set. Which Dolphin version are you using? In general, you should use 5.0 or newer. Sometimes issues crop up on an older version or when using a specific renderer, like Direct3D11 or OpenGL. I made an input file on Dolphin 5.0-15421, dual-core off, Direct3D11 renderer. It goes to the beginning of Chapter 1. Try it on the Dolphin version I mentioned and see if it crashes for you.

Sorry for the very very late response. It turned out to be a bug with the game itself, the game crashes when loading an old level after loading a level later in the game.

Hey, that's okay. My response was really late too. Do you mean when you load a savestate from a previous level, it crashes? I've heard of that with N64 games before; maybe Charlie also saves level data in a weird way. You might just have to finish TASing one level, then move on to the next and delete your savestates from previous levels so it won't crash again.

No, if you load a previous level you've already played without loading a save file. It's kinda hard to explain. but I did make a full game TAS. It's definitely not optimized but considering it was one of my first full game TASes it's not too bad. https://youtu.be/mVueihEE7mo
