You have to test the game yourself! If it's glitching (bad picture), you have no ability to fix it. Make sure that you use the 2010 version of pcsx2-rr. As practice says, you shouldn't skip any cut-scenes (skipping cause desyncs) and don't use any emulator speedhacks! To record the movie in .avi or .mp4, press F12 during the TAS or walkthrough playback and select the codec. The recorded movie will be at normal speed (60 fps).

It seems like everyone will expect that you TAS NES games without effort! That's good :-)
I think TASVideos robot can discover the real number of rerecords.

I don't understand. What does it mean "when it seems like something substantial has been fixed in it"? I tried different configs, but nothing has been fixed.

I'd like to report a bug, but I think the same problem is happening to most games! What is the main problem with emulating SEGA Saturn games and are you going to do sth with it?
P.S: bug is here (if interesting): http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15183

Ну как, какое производит впечатление - did you find this movie entertaining или такое не не стоит отправлять? Если все более менее нормально то за пару деньков напишу подробное описание и рискну отправить.
Нормально так! Я на форуме никаких полезных обсуждений и WIP-ов (для сравнения) не нашел, так что у тебя шансы очень даже хорошие! В обсуждении Yes поставлю!

Из тебя выйдет достойный мастер, если твой мувик "изначально для самого себя" будет достоин публикации! У тебя, должно быть, tool-assisted speedrun, а значит, что ты должен пройти игру быстрейшим образом! Более того, у тебя должен быть самый укороченный инпут по скоростно-зависимым действиям (открытие дверей, удары и особенно выбор сложности и старт игры в стартовом меню), а также использованы все знания по игре (быстрейшие пути, какое оружие самое сильное, warp-зоны и т.п.).
В описании сайта сказано, что только высококачественные мувики попадают в публикацию, а значит, что недочеты будут обязательно выявлены, если тщательно мувик не проработать! Я так попался 4 раза прежде чем получил первую публикацию!
По поводу TAS Editor, есть универсальный редактор мувиков, который поддерживает snes9x и gens-rerecording! При его использовании лучше сделать резервную копию мувика! Во время редактирования тебе лучше один из них проигрывать на эмуляторе, а второй редактировать. Внимательно смотри какие кадры надо редактировать, используя проигрыш на эмуляторе, т.к. в редакторе нет экрана для просмотра изменений, как на fceux!
Вот ссылка на редактор (все на английском): http://www.afreecodec.com/windows/tas-movie-editor-46331.html
На будущее, каждый мувик обсуждай на форуме, чтобы у тебя точно не было проблем и недочетов! Еще вопросы есть?

Why? Too lazy to make a savestate? You can pause the emulation, make a savestate and continue playing! Load option is already imported. If you're TASing a game, autosave can be done when you're already failed it or a long time before!
Are you making quicksaves or save the progress as different file and then loading it "by hand"?

To those who are saying all Zapper games are boring:
A game that only uses the Zapper is generally boring. However, there have been good games that have mixed in some shooting parts with other modes of play, and sometimes those shooting parts have been entertaining. (One good example is Vice: Project Doom, and another example is Bayou Billy. They didn't use the Zapper, but I imagine they could have.)
That's right! All games which contain different modes of play, like FPS and side-scroller, don't support zapper, so all zapper games are boring!

If the game is as bad as you're saying maybe you could choose a more entertaining game for demonstrating the zapper support, unless there isn't other viable option.
In my mind it's absolutely unnecessary to TAS zapper games because they are not funny at all! I remember Randil's TAS on Duck Hunt which was the funniest of all zapper games (I think), but it's still boring.

I'm glad this topic is created! Help me to find the game on SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive 2 (I don't remember how many buttons do it support (3 or 6)). I have watched my friend playing it only once in our childhood so I don't remember much details! Second controller was broken so I don't remember if we could play together.
? - not sure
It's a shooter/beat'em up/adventure with top view. At the beginning you can choose 1 of 4 (or 3 at least) men with 3 different characteristics: health (green), power (red) and ?sth? (blue). The main hero walks in levels like in Rambo 3 and beats enemies, he can find ?boxes? with weapons like bazooka or machine gun or take them from ?enemies?, can beat enemies with them if ammo ended. The storyline contains objective: save birds (probably eagles)!
I looked for similar descriptions and screenshots on some sites containing enough big list of games, but still not found.
Maybe it's this game? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growl_(video_game)
It was an arcade game but got a genesis port, the plot was that you're rangers rescuing animals from poachers, you can use rocket launchers and whips and it's a beat'em'up. And this sounds like your description of the character select:
'The player begins the game by choosing from one of four different forest rangers, each with a different amount of health, attack strength, and jumping height.'
Yeah! That's it! Thanks!

Hah! I've never played Tekken on PS and didn't burn ISOs to play it on PS2, but I think it's a good choicd for TASing! Also I made a fun TAS on unlicensed Tekken 2 for NES:

I used different tactics to make it more entertaining (read the movie description). If you find this game entertaining, you can make better run. Good luck!

Unfortunately, I was! I could write that in 32X Doom topic which was also discussed some years ago, but this topic is the only topic where the ports were compared. I read all the massages before writing this, of course! :-)
