Gex is TASable on BizHawk's Octoshock core (PS1) and also the Sega Saturn core.

TBH, I really want to see a Dreamcast or maybe even 3DO core in BizHawk.
As examples for the porting process: 3DO: opera-libretro (LibRetro Port of 4DO) is the only option. Everything else is either bad, closed source and great (Phoenix) or bad and closed source. Dreamcast: DEmul is the best option to take, however there is a big, big "closed source" next to it. Everything else doesn't match it unfortunately. (Basically Dreamcast should be shelved for future developments)

Really? Cause what you wrote on the first post implies it:

Please don't do categories that you shouldn't be doing when you can't even complete a single game that actually shows your TASing ability.

SHORT STORY: My TAS is slower than WR RTA due to RTAs using different consoles with better load times (PS2/PSTV). Does this fact disqualify my TAS from the Vault category?
As long as you mention the fact that the only things available for comparison uses FDS you're fine. (You're also fine not mentioning it cause someone would probably answer in the forum posts if it's brought up) We have many PlayStation TASes since Hawk's introduction that are slower than Fast Disk (obviously) we wouldn't reject something for something like that.

...no need to point out every flaw with my TAS lol
Actually it's important. If you're a rookie (which you are) being provided with information about what improves can be made to your TAS is actually beneficial. You're actually learning something. You should be appreciative of this information, not dismissive.

Number One: I meant how easy is it to TAS with DeSmuME and Arcade emulators. (I shoulda been clearer, that's my fault.) Number Two: For the cores thing I meant: Taking the .dll, turning it into it's own .exe that can run without a frontend, and giving it TASing features.
MAME-RR: It exists. That's all you're getting from me. FBA-RR: It also exists and likes to crash sometimes, compatibility mode to win 7 helps and the method is that of classic TASing. DeSmuME: Same as above, only substitute crashing for free desyncs and you have to deal with a touch screen. Number Two: Ha, no. It's a process and a half to actually create a core. Also RetroArch uses older builds and is never up to date on some of their cores.

OK, so, I know this reply is 4 years old, but BizHawk is capable of TASing the Sega Saturn!
10 years old for the person in question. You just failed basic addition/subtraction (to the comment). In referral to the bump that's 3 years old... Also, also. Yabause existed for TASing Saturn games before Hawk. Meaning your comment falls basically flat on everything.

Coming from the guy who didn't know how to create a submission with a bk2 file "cause it's too big" even after being told what to do.

First One: DeSmuME exists. What is wrong with you? Second One: FBA-rr and MAME-rr exists. What is wrong with you? Side Note: You can find this information on the Emulation TAB when you're at the homepage of TASVideos. Third One: You can use the dll in BizHawk and TAS the core you want. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Fourth One: You upload it to user files. Fifth One: Tetris.

Number One: Genesis works perfectly for me on Kega.
To repeat myself from another thread yesterday to here. No 2 emulators are the same. You can't compare Kega to Hawk. Also, Kega's not even BizHawk's upsteram. I wrote the upstream of what that is. It's Genplus-gx.

I have a better question. If Genesis is stuttering for you why are Icarus'ing yourself by wanting to use Dolphin and PCSX2? Anyways Answers: Dolphin: Since it's more demanding it's features are a bit more bare-bones to something like BizHawk. Genplus-gx: Because your system isn't good enough? We don't know your system so we obviously aren't mind readers. PCSX2-rr: Well first you [train goes by] and that's all you need to know about how to TAS on PCSX2-rr, the emulator with so many issues.

I'm just pointing it out, it has pretty much the same submission text as the published movie's (obvious omissions are obvious). Another thing to point out to everyone else is we should probably look at the other submission cause well... that time yo (also cause I can't be bothered spiking something already spiked). (inb4 Judge updates the file and deletes the other submission) Or I'll just write three frame improvement at the very start of the gameplay. (over the proper truncated submission obviously) Tengen Tetris is a special case of set seeds. If the correct seed can be found well an improvement can be found as well like this one did... --- Adjusting PikachuMan's input towards the end to not be slow beats this movie out by 80 frames. It raised questions when it was a: Pik: 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2. versus a You: 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4. Meaning that yours should've been slower for going for those singles. The only reason you were 10 frames faster was due to the fact that the ending input on the published TAS was bad.

> 9 Year old System Oh yeah. That'll most likely be the reason. Probably a good idea to go for a full system upgrade. Also no 2 emulators are the same. You can't compare VICE to Hawk directly. VICE could be using methods to allow it to operate at those speeds.

Then it means that your system is old... or a laptop. (If it's a modern laptop try Balanced/Power Saver to High Performance)

OK, so, I'm 99.9% sure that it is not possible to TAS 3DS games yet.
Well good news. You're 100% wrong. :^) You can TAS 3DS (Citra) thanks to libTAS the Linux TASing emulator. (That's if we're talking strictly the TASing features.)

Much like the other systems bundled in BizHawk the -/+ keys operate the speed. + is to increase the speed. - is to reduce the speed.

2.4 is now prone to desyncs. Why can't you keep things desync proof?
Ah yes, thank you for being descriptive to which core this occurs in. And thank you so much for not making an issue tracker about this and actually detailing it and again, stating which core this occurs in. Thanks for the contribution by not providing information.

Link to video Link to video Welcome to Manipulation. Where there's not a pause buff in sight. The one that completes Stage 5 is roughly 20 seconds behind the current TAS (that's including bios) however it's a stark difference to how much further behind it could've been. The one that completes Stage 8 is roughly 7 seconds ahead of the current TAS (that's including bios)

Then why were you're able to create a submission (albeit a single level) with BizHawk? bk2 files can bring down a tasproj file from a gigabyte (or more) to kilobytes when using the convert function so you saying "it's too big" raises some questions. To me it sounds as if you don't want to actually showcase your work at all. You can always provide an upload to Google Storage or Mega for someone to convert it down for you proper if you actually are concern for what should be a small filesize to begin with when using that function.

I'm assuming you're using TAStudio. You can shrink the filesize by converting to bk2. File > Export to bk2.

Spoilers: It'll be rejected for not completing the game or not reaching the loop point with your goal in mind. Please read over why you were rejected in the first place on your first submission and use the User Movies instead of making a submission.

It's to do with COPA.
Actually to date the TOCA TAS when it lost its comments it was before COPA got involved. It was early 2019 when the TOCA TAS (and a few others got hit^). COPA was introduced late 2019. To be specific on which SotN movie being referenced it's this reencode and Sorcerer's Maze copped it as well. It took roughly I think 15-30 minutes for the comments to be restored. ^ Don't ask me for others when TOCA was the standout to me (for obvious reasons)

Change your comments to "No, it's not made for kids" for all current and future uploads.
It's been set to that since the introduction of COPA. You can actually confirm this by checking the YouTube Kids site/app. It's just that YouTube is a great system with no flaws whatsoever. sarcasm
