I have made a fork from official snes9x github repository for rerecording version. If you are interested, I will add you to project gladly, please tell. (I told adelikat about the administration account. He is probably able to invite you to the project, too.) http://github.com/snes9x-rr/snes9x Since I have lost motivation to update emulator, it has only a few of rerecording specific features at present. A help is greatly appreciated. Note: I was thinking to merge all rerecording features to official version, but dev team didn't agree with that at some point. So I made this fork after all. Still, in my opinion, common changes should be contributed to the official as well. Dependencies Notes
  • Use DirectX SDK Feb 2010 or earlier for ddraw.lib
  • When you see error C2065: 'ICustomDestinationList' blah, run Windows SDK Configuration Tool and set the default SDK version to 7.0 or later.
  • When you try to compile snes9x with Visual Studio Express, you need to modify resource file not to use afxres.h
  • When you try compiling with the latest FMOD Ex, compiler will say "FMOD_OUTPUTTYPE_OPENAL was not declared" or something like that. This constant seems to be removed since 2010-07-01, try 4.30.14 stable instead.

Is all this means that... we may skip Snes9x 1.52 at all?
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Does anyone know if version 1.53 has the desync'ing issue that 1.52 and below have?

No, it should be fixed, but it seems no one has the motivation to implement the re-recording features for some unjustified reason.

Sorry for a dumb question, but how to exit from frame advance in this?

For what it's worth, I recorded a 90-minute-long movie in SNES9x 1.5.3 on the Mac, with extensive rerecording, and I never had sync problems. As to the existence of the usual TASing tools (c.f. Lua support), I couldn't say, since I was just trying to make a "clean realtime" run.
