I moved the scripts to 3-entry subtitles.
Each entry is 2 lines now, it should help positioning the subs so they don't cover anything important.
There's also subXoffs now. It allows to move subtitles away from internal game borders and overscan area.

Rare is a British company, and the game was one of the earlier ones, so they just used PAL standard TVs, and forgot to account for the cropped scanlines in NTSC. It's an assumption, but I find it very reasonable. In any case, for a US release, we need to crop top and bottom as usual. It's just a programmer's oversight.

cleartonic, please post an issue on bizhawk github. It will get lost here.

Extreme botting was used to trigger this event. I remember millions of rerecords in the original submission. I disagree that having the bot hit an event 2 instructions too late is just an emulator glitch in principle. The event is right there, align objects differently and it will hit on a more accurate emulator.

I'm dumping avi fine with 2.2.1. Try removing your config?

Hey look what we have here!
https://github.com/TASVideos/hourglass-win32/releases/tag/r83
What is this?
It's a freaking official Hourglass release!
I just verified this submission on it, the game didn't crash. And it saved the internal replay afterwards. Moreover, I made a full AVI lossless dump with it, and I'll be sending it to fsvgm777 for encoding.
kopiapoa, I know you guys like Hourglass in Japan. Please use this new version instead of local hacks. Overall, it must work identically to what you used, just this time it has proper version number, and it puts it into movies.

Note that some emulators require interims because their official releases are infrequent and/or often outdated (including Dolphin and VBA-rr); for these emulators, interim versions are accepted.
The input file should sync properly on an approved version of a rerecording emulator. Being an approved version means it can be downloaded from the official website as a packaged release. Development builds don't count as such (unless it's a messy case like Dolphin). Any settings necessary for sync should be documented in the submission properly (edit the submission to include this information if necessary). The settings chosen must be considered legal, and not used to hack the game in some way. If the submission does not sync on at least one official release, it must be rejected (unless there is an unavoidable exception). If it syncs for someone other than the author, it is still valid (so that games/emulators that require similar OS/computer specs to be deterministic have a chance).

Thanks for reminding, we almost forgot that we have rules.

- Is it really necessary for the Movie Watching and Movie making be unified under a tab (instead of adding them to the main tabs seperately)?
I agree with this. The rest need pondering.

Make sure to only port if you have improvements. I saw in one of your boss fights you're faster due to a new trick, just mentioning it anyway.

I believe the hourglass version used here is not r81 (since r81 has its version written in the dialog caption). In r81 I get a crash in the end even if I use the first input option (Safe), which is what the author uses in the video. In r51 it just desyncs.
kopiapoa, what hourglass version are you actually using?

Just pointing out that for some people using tastudio right away is an easier way to familiarize themselves with serious tasing.
Some basic usage example:

For a detailed manual of a similar tool (taseditor in fceux, which has almost identical controls and features), read this:

If it syncs on a fixed version, I think it should be encoded on that.

It doesn't crash in the beginning for me, but it always crashes in the end. The only thing that prevents the crash is disabling multithreading in the middle of the run. But that prevents the name entry screen from appearing, I get endless loading.

Not too long ago I heard that the Moon is made of grated cheese. I am not as into astrology as most people but is the Moon made of grated cheese? They also say there's also someone's face drawn on the Moon. Who's portrait that could be, do you guys know?

You can't transform the savestate, it's completely different. You need to make a movie that reaches the same point your savestate is on, make a new savestate there, and put it into your movie. The file is called Core.bin.
Otherwise, starting a movie from a savestate is usually a bad idea, especially if you want to submit it here. Even even if your fix works, there's no guarantee that the movie will sync on the new version.

If savestate format changes over versions, you won't be able to get it to work on them. The only thing you can do is regenerate that savestate on a new version and substitute it in tour movie.
