Hey, I'm new, and I want to know, if it is possible to TAS computer games (Trackmania). If it is possible to do that, can you please specify them? Below you will find a video of normal nonTAS driving. Thanks in advance Link to video

'Lo and welcome to TASvideos, enjoy your stay. Are you German by any chance? Anyway, it depends. DOS games can be TASed, using JPC-rr, but modern day, high quality PC games, not so much, I'm afraid. This thread, Simple Windows Games might catch your interest, however.

Trackmania appears to be windows game on PC. There's this: Thread #8750: Hourglass, for Windows TASing, but it is pretty preliminary... Trackmania also has DS and Wii versions. There is no Wii rerecording yet (not even alpha-quality), so that leaves only the DS...

If you can run it in a virtual machine you can use the 'take snapshot' ability to make savestates. Either record the footage externally and slice it by hand or have it recorded within the virtual machine as well (ouch!) Alternatively, you can pummel the frame rate with the right tools, and get slow motion.
