Emulator Resources
We use special emulators that support tools such as savestate and frame advance, and generate movie files from them. These movie files are nothing more than a recording of input. They do not contain images or video. All movie format specifications can be found here.
Disclaimer: 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.
We do not by any means claim that using any of these emulators will guarantee "correct" results. There may be bugs in these emulators which have gone unnoticed due to lack of testing.
You should read
DesyncHelpTAS before making any serious projects. All movies are highly dependent on the timing and the slightest difference may cause a
desync. We
cannot help you if you lose work due to desync problems. You must also read the
Rules if you plan to submit your work to this site.
All
.7z archives can be decompressed using
7zip or
WinRAR.
