Emulator Resources / Potential Emulators
This page is part of the emulator resources page collection. Back to: << Emulator ResourcesThis 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 TASvideos
Rerecording Tools but not yet approved for TASVideos
| Emulator | Link | Platform | Why it isn't approved |
|---|---|---|---|
| DOSBox | http://tasvideos.org/forum/t/5285 | PC-DOS | Unstable, playback depends on system. |
| Dolphin | http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/ | Gamecube, Wii | Rerecording much improved but some desync issues have not been resolved. |
| PCSX2-rr | http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2-rr/ | Playstation 2 | A branch of PCSX2 with rerecording tools. Very experimental and largely untested. Preliminary reports indicate instability with sync. |
| WINUAE | http://www.winuae.net/ | Amiga | Recording input support but not rerecording. Windows only. |
