From what I understand, what you're saying is:
1. Make input
2. Edit input from previous frames
3. Lag is different
Because if so, that occasionally happens for games; not all games are splice-friendly, which is at times, the reason I take a break when I find a trick that saves time earlier on, since I'm not able to always edit it back in.
If it helps, TAStudios shows lag on the piano roll, so you can slowly resync it. I did that too for my Sabre Wulf TAS, and it helped immensely. It's not really something emulator devs can fix, since it this can also happen in console.
In fact, my problem is :
When I finish to TASing the first level and that I play movie, inputs desync due to adds a number of lag inputs.
If I want to that the movie play correctly, I'm obliged to modify inputs, in the input file!
And if I use an save state, when I play movie in read only mode, inputs are false and desync!
-make inputs
-play from begining
-Movie desync
-modify inputs in input file
-play from begining, to watch if movie run well or not
-repeat operation if it's not good
Thank to help me like you do!
I apreciate a lot.
Let's do some math:
make inputs
+ play from beginning
+ movie desync
----------------
Core is fundamentally unreliable.
You don't need to write any more than that.
What GBA core are you using on which bizhawk version?
Please report these in https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/927
It's where I'm tracking 32X emulation issues. If gens is demonstrated to have superior performance in a decent number of games, we might add that and switch between cores per game
Thanks! But I haven't an account on GitHub. That's why I posted on this topic.

--Currently not much motived for TASing as before...--
But I'm still working.

Uses mgba core, on bizhawk 2.0.0, 2.0.1 and 1.13.0 (1.13 just to watch and have a comparison), and i have the same desync problem with all versions!
Thanks.
If it occurs on mGBA as well, probably may want to post it on Thread #16165: mGBA: The one that's not VBA, as well. Any other info? How long does it take to desync? And when does it desync? Does it happen in between level transitions, or during the level itself (as in when does the lag become different than the first playback)?

Desync happen in between level transition (after loading screen) and during the level itself.
lag become different than the first playback, only if you restart since an save state.
After have modifying the input file to haven't desync, if you play movie and don't use an save states, the movie run well, but if you use a save state to watch directly the part that you want, it desync.
All roms that I used (U), (E), (E) "endless piracy", (E) "M6", have a same problems on bizhawk 2.0.0, 2.0.1 and 1.13.0
It's All informations I have for instant, and I go to post it on this thread.

Sameboy SGB core is generally unstable when loading a GBC rom(Pokemon G/S in this case, and they are compatible with SGB). Bizhawk crashes either when the rom is loaded or when the rom is closed.

Fixed. Potentially affects any game on Sameboy that has saveram.
I dont know for a fact that it's a game bug, but I'd judge it's a possibility. The game is using a bit of a timing-sensitive special effect there to render the rail in front of the player, on the same BG as the distance city backdrop. The glitch is infrequent enough that it could pass QA. If it happens on hardware it looks like it will be seemingly randomly. But if it helps, you may be able to verify it (check for it in the emulator first) on an earlier stage using the same effect.
I played up to the stage in Sonia's screenshots, and I think I did see that layer flickering once. I'm not 100% sure though because it's easy to miss while playing.
I went ahead and tested it on my SFC as well (through sd2snes). Seems like the bug happens on real hardware too. There's no reliable way to trigger it other than going to the areas where it happens and do random stuff (beat enemies up, let enemies beat you, etc). The bug will eventually happen for certain.
I noticed a few areas where it usually happens:
Stage 1 - Inside the bus
Stage 2 - Parking area
Stage 3 - Top of the skyscraper (as shown in the 2 pics)
Stage 4 - Jungle area at the beginning
So yeah, not really an emulation problem.
Not really a bug, but is there a way to access the INS / DEL and FUNC keys on SG-1000?
Oh, and are there any plans to integrate the joystick support in addition of the keyboard for the C64 and Apple II cores?

What do you mean when you say you cannot play. Are you getting some sort of error message?
Have you verified whether the ROM is clean? I'm pretty sure I've tested this game. Post here the MD5/SHA1/SHA256 checksum of the file.
You can use web services like that and tell us the result
https://hash.online-convert.com/sha256-generator
EDIT: BizHawk displays a check mark when the ROM is verified too and a question block if not.
This error happens when I try to run Debugger on a GBA game.
Issue present on official releases 2.2 and 2.1.1, and developer release 0.0.0.1798.
Can't find any reference to "libdarm.dll". Its not in the dll folder.
This dll got lost when we went 64bits. I just made a 64bit dll. I have no idea whether it works because I couldnt tell the difference between libdarm broken and debugger broken, and I know the debugger is always broken, but maybe youll know.

It sure has been awhile since I last told you guys about an emulation error, huh? Well, here's one that I ran into last night--if you're using the Snes9x core, then Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars crashes BizHawk when it tries to display someone's level on the level up screen. My only solution to this problem, aside from cheating to max out everyone's levels, is to use the BSNES core to bypass this bug. I have to deal with a worse FPS, though.

Action 52 is broken as of a few versions ago it appears. Still broken in the latest dev build. It launches into one of the minigames and you can't make it to the main menu. This is in NESHawk and QuickNES doesn't support it.

Here is a short 8000 frames movie showing it happening (flickering occurs at frames 599 and 6027):

Is this a normal thing with the game, or an emulation bug?
