Emulator Resources
Tool-assisted movies require special emulators that support rerecording. Without these, TASVideos would not exist.
The majority of rerecording emulators are third-party modifications of existing open-source emulators. In most cases, only these rerecording emulators can play and make TASes, and not the official emulator. All
.7z archives can be decompressed using
7zip or
WinRAR.
Movie files are nothing more than a recording of input. They do not contain image or video data. All movies are highly dependent on the timing and the slightest difference may cause a
desync. All movie format specifications can be found here.
