Emulator Resources / Potential Emulators
This page is part of the emulator resources page collection. This page is a list of possible open source emulators for adding rerecording tools. The idea is to get information out to potential developers looking to start a rerecording project. The only requirements for this list are: 1) Open source 2) Not already approved for submission at TASvideosRerecording Tools but not yet approved for TASVideos
| Emulator | Link | Platform | Why it isn't approved |
|---|---|---|---|
| WINUAE | http://www.winuae.net/ | Amiga | Recording input support but not rerecording. Windows only. |
| Mesen | https://www.mesen.ca/ | NES | TAS features are being slowly added |
| PCSX2-rr | https://github.com/xTVaser/pcsx2-rr | Sony Playstation 2 | Very experimental and largely untested. Preliminary reports indicate instability with sync. |

klmz: It might be better if linked to an article (doesn't exist though) on how to implement the required features. adelikat: Agreed, and I am in process of writing such an article. [1] There was rerecording version of DosBox (Wiki page | Forum topic), but that emulator does not have stable sync between machines and appears to be dead.
