Hello, I have a rather simple question but I just can't find anything useful that can solve my problem. I hope an experienced Dolphin TASer might come along and help me. Recording inputs and playing them back works fine and is perfect every time, but I don't know how someone would be able to record and do everything in one sitting. Now I have the first section of the game recorded but I've stopped because I've wanted to know if it works at all. At the end it did work out fine so I wanted to load the recording and continue from where I've stopped but the problem is I can't just go and record with the same inputs as before so now I have two different input files for two different sections. Is this a thing everyone has to do, combining the sections in editing the videos later, or is there some fancy way to get everything into a single file? Thanks.

No good TAS is done in a single sitting, but it's still all done in one single input file. If you load your input file, turn on Read+Write mode and load a savestate, it will load that savestate in recording mode, and you can continue TASing from there. This is standard with every re-recording emulator. So basically, load the input file that starts from power on in Read+Write, pause near the end of the input, save state then load state, and continue TASing away.

Yessss, thank you so much. Now everything makes sense.
