This will make it so the space before the test has background color, but the space after it doesn't. Is this something I should put on your bug tracker too or intentional?

If you mean testing Genesis specifically, that's a bit hard when it throws out errors upon loading any Genesis ROM.

Right, the dll hasn't been built by appveyor. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3p2agitqff88qrd/BizHawk.zip?dl=0

Getting the exact same errors on that build as well, but I managed to get everything to work using the files/folders from the most recent appveyor download and it seems to play just fine. Haven't tried anything more serious yet, though.

Just a quick report about lag counter. I don't know if you can use this info but: When I TASed Stuart Little 2 (GBA) on mgba core, I noticed the lag count wasn't working properly. It only counted some lag at the start of the run during the menuing or something, but it didn't register lag that happened throughout the levels. And now I'm TASing Hyper Lode Runner (GB) and notice the lag count would increment even on frames where the screen updates. I suppose it means input isn't polled on those frames but the game still updates.

Samsara, I downloaded both links I provided and Genesis ROMs load perfectly for me in both. Are you trying fresh unzips or just dropping the new exe over the old one? Because it won't magically create a gen+gx dll that way, which is int he package, but was missing from my other interims. If you simply replace the exe, at least replace all the dlls as well.

Fresh unzips every time I tried. The appveyor download only included the DLLs, so that's what I replaced in one of the fresh unzips. So far, that's the only time I've been able to load a Genesis ROM.

gui.drawPolygon doesn't seem to work? 
	points={{10,10},{100+10},{100,100}}
	gui.drawPolygon(points,0xFFFFFFFF,0xFF00FF00)
Edit: I'm smart

I asked a couple years ago about the possibility of adding support for Nach's custom JMA compression algorithm for SNES roms; nothing ever came of it. Not really a big deal, but I'm curious why nothing happened with it.

So I'm skimming through the 1.11.7 notes here.
Add gui.DrawFinish() which will let you choose when to finish drawing; and add optional argument to gui.DrawNew which when set to false lets you keep it from being cleared
I'm not sure if I understand it, but can this make it so that you can keep drawing to the surface indefinitely without it clearing each frame? I'm asking because I'm still looking for a solution to my canvas question.

I Just want to emphasize the huge improvements in accuracy to the A2600 core, and that no one should be tasing on previous version due to how drastically better it is. Ditto with NESHawk vs older versions of it. Also I want to just say again, amazing work to Alyosha for doing these improvements!
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

^ Thanks! I'd like to add to that that my goal here, particularly with NESHawk, is true cycle accurate emulation with console verificaiton in mind, so if anyone sees something that might not be quite right, or something they really want to see added to the core, do let me know, I will try to be active in fixing issues.

I suggest fixing the core to make Battletoads "game end glitch" work on console. No idea what it'd require though. Also, speed it up a bit probably? Would be interesting to know what can be done on that matter after my speedup ideas totally failed.

feos if you can make a bizhawk movie that executes the game end gltich i can start testing differences between it an fceux to understand what's happening. The currenrly publised run, with some slight changes at the start to account for start up differences, only makes it to the glitch but behaves differently, I don't understand what I'm looking for to make the glitch work. As for speed ups, yeah I do plan on improvements there, but so far the only thing I've done that even puts a dent in it is manually inlining funcitons in the ppu. I think some savings can be had in the APU, but I need to think about how.
