Don't get me wrong, I'm not shocked to see synching issues, and it's not as if I wasn't willing to spend some time to fix these issues; I was only asking if there already was a way to make it work.

Ok, I haven't noticed at first the Import Movies option that converts pretty much anything in a BK2 file, including the MC2 format. But there is a problem with the sync of that particular file; maybe the probably is more broadly common among importing MC2 files in general. At least, now I know the correct way to handle MC2 files in Bizhawk. Each time I open a MC2 converted movie (after I changed the platform from "PCE" to "PCECD" in the Header.txt of the BK2 generated by the importation), I get a "No sync settings found" error, which will obviously always occur; the MC2 format seem to be so barebone that it assume that it will be read by the same emulator that was used to create the file (in that case, PCEjin, with the author mentionning "should sync with Mednafen"). Sorry for the trouble I have caused here. #Facepalm

I don't have problems with regular games, only Super CD-ROM like Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rinne (Castlevania : Rondo of Blood) or even regular CD-ROM games like Golden Axe. It doesn't seem to be a BIOS problem, since I tried multiple versions; the same ones I have been using with Bizhawk with no problem whatsoever...

I simply want to play MC2 files (submitted on TASVideos) for the sake of enjoyment, but I'm not able to run Super CD games with neither PCEjin nor Mednafen; only Bizhawk works. I've tried something : editing the MC2 to change the inputs order (BK2's order is different) and copy-paste the inputs in TAStudio but the timing seems off. And no, I'm not interested in watching the result simply on YouTube or from a MP4 file. I want to see the actual piece at work. ;)

I'm having a hard time using PCEjin / Mednafen on Windows, and for having tried the greatness that is BizHawk, it's really hard to go back to another emulator. From what I understand, the possibility to play MC2 files was removed in BizHawk 1.0.3 (I guess it wasn't working properly), but did anyone made a converter to BK2 files that would make them compatible with BizHawk? I could probably take the MC2 file, manually conform it's structure to BK2, rename it Input Log.txt and zip it with the other necessary files, but if there exist a way to automate this, it would be of great help. Thanks.
