Not really a bug per se, but recently I had to format my HDD and I'm now using Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Well, BizHawk doesn't even start; no errors, no exceptions nothing. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a known solution?
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I was using the old system for so long that I completely forgot about that.
The prereq installer solved the problem. Thank you, adelikat.

First of all, thanks for the bug reports, and keep them coming.
Second, a forum is a poor choice for bug tracking, I can't easily respond to all of the reports to tell you priority, what release you can expect it in, whether I've even read the post. So I highly encourage everyone to use the Issue tracker instead.
Issue tracker items make it easier on me, plus I can respond more easily, document which revision should fix it, and mark a release that it will be available in.
The forum is a lazier way to report things, so you can still use it. Just know that it is getting difficult to keep up with them. However, you can safely assume I've seen the post, but I don't plan on responding to each bug report post so you won't get that assurance that I've seen and intend to fix it.
Thirdly, I am planning a 1.6.1 release sometime soon that addresses a number of bug reports reported here.
This movie desynced for me:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ef7vrdyr6pj3knd/vk.rar
Emulator Version: BizHawk 1.6.0
Rom Name: Vamipre Killer (J) [!].gen
It desynced for me near the end of Stage 1, when I'm fighting the Bone Dragon.
How come it desynced if the Emulator now has official Genesis support?
What Version(s) of Bizhawk? Were you trying an SVN? What message(s) appeared? What were you doing when things went bad?
Details help everyone!
BizHawk 1.6.0
There were no messages at all. The game simply kept running with wrong commands (it desynced)
And through the whole run I only used slots 1 and 2 for savestates. No slowdown or anything like that, so on that part I most likely only loaded slot 1 a couple times to hit the enemy properly. And I'm certain that I didn't load a state that was ahead of me, I'm very cautious with that. So no clue why it desynced.

With both Bizhawk 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, when I choose to "Play Movie...", I get an error with this message: http://pastebin.com/iUauXqtg
It then opens up the Play Movie window anyway. But I'm again getting an error when I try to play it: http://pastebin.com/t98q9Mz7
This time resulting in nothing...
there's some movie it's finding during the scan process that upsets it. move some of them out of your movies dir and youll eventually find the culprit.
The Lua operation test was done by Bizhawk1.6.1.
Execution of client.setwindowsize will generate the following errors.
LuaInterface.LuaScriptException: 2
Although I often move the game of SFC, I am troubled by the game from which resolution changes that window size changes freely.
I would like to fix the length of window size like snes9X.
Isn't any N64 relation solvable? Or is it difficult to correct?
Operation related to TAS of N64/GC/Wii/PS2 emulator is often investigated.
I did various tests BizHawk 1.5.3's N64. There were fatal exception errors.
●I create a bkm doing Record Movie->Movie From->Now, and Stop Movie at a suitable length. Whenever I do Play Movie or Stop Movie on this bkm, the bkm state's binary becomes erased. When it is erased, an error occurs and it cannot be replayed.
●In Record Movie, if the check for "Make default author" is removed, the save data is reset.
●In Ram Watch, Freeze Address does not work.
●In Virtual Pads, the lower part of the N64 Analog window is cut off, and clicking cannot set it to -128 (only up to -108).
From here, these are option problems.
●Regarding Paper Mario freezing problem, selecting CPU Core in BizHawk's N64 solves the problem.
I checked in mupen+, but Pure Interpreter is the one that solves the problem.
●BizHawk's N64 controller, Memory Pak is set to Auto ON. However, some games do not work with it.
It is only a small fraction of games, but I would like an ON/OFF option.
●As for USB Controller reaction, it is allowed to put input exceeding the range of the possibility of a normal N64 controller, but it serves as a obstacle to one part of gameplay. I would like some kind of option (like a checkbox) to prevent exceeding the range.
This is an individual matter, but is it possible to add the video plugin z64gl?
When I try mupen+, there are a few games which work better with it than Rice or Glidemk2.
The #1 Software Rendering "SoftGraphic HLE plugin v1.5" can be used, but since mupen+ has no plugin set, that is a different problem.
The serious thing is not repaired although such easy faults are corrected.
It is very worrisome.

This is why a forum isn't working for bug reports. I never saw this post. Please post things in the issue tracker!
From here on out, if you don't post on the tracker, don't expect it to ever be fixed. The noise is too high so I miss important posts. I will not stop following this thread.
Btw, Do NOT START FROM NOW on N64, it doesn't work, this is known, and untrivial to fix. Will be fixed one day. I feel like again, that due to noise in this thread, people don't see this.

Thank you, those are very nice bug reports! Detailed repro steps, use of the issue tracker, and even a post here as bonus. That's how you report a bug!
