Use another emulator? why would you want to TAS this game? i don't see any tasing possibilities for an obscure fighting game.
My TAS emulator doubles as my main emu for playing as well. I like this game and have even written the FAQ a while back on GameFAQs for it.
Well if the emu is ever booted up to the 1.5 version, I'll be sure to play it again.
I meant the TAS-ing version. I like the spiffied up emu better. Plus, once I decide to make a TAS that's not going to suck, I won't have to download anything further. =P
nitsuja: Is there any reason why we shouldn't begin recommending 1.5 as the preferred snes9x version here, if it includes everything "we" added in 1.43 and supports more games?

Because the update to 1.5 emulation-wise was major and didn't receive enough testing, so while it fixed a lot of bugs, a lot of other games broke or became very screwed up (Mortal Kombat II, Wild Guns, Super Star Wars, Pilotwings, Super Off-Road The Baja, among others). Also a few things like cheat codes and multiple-joystick controls broke in the port. So I recommend not using version 1.5 for making movies and don't think it's worth supporting that version at this site.
However, all of the above problems have since been fixed, so whenever 1.51 is released, I think we should begin using that as the preferred snes9x version for making new movies.
Pro: Emulates more games and emulates existing games better
Pro: Can record SuperScope, Mouse, and Justifier input, and can record resets
Pro: More features (better cheat search and RAM watch, more graphics filters, less AVI problems, etc.)
Pro: Is being tested for all platforms (at least Windows, Mac, Linux; movies should be compatible between the three, except in cases of unreliable-playback movies)
Con: Can't play any movies made in previous versions of Snes9x (way too many core emulation changes for that to be remotely possible; just use an older version to play existing movies)
Con: While it's more accurate, it's also slower due to less shortcuts being taken and abandonment of some old but fast parts of the emulation code. Won't matter much unless your CPU is really outdated.
EDIT: I'm now having doubts that people here would choose to use this newer version, because the more accurate emulation causes games to load significantly slower, in actual frames. Nevertheless, for games that use peripherals or don't have an existing run to compare with, it would still make sense to use this version.
