Support for multiple Lua scripts running simultaneously, as in Gens.
Some combination of tasks listed at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=113536&group_id=13536&func=browse

Support for multiple Lua scripts running simultaneously, as in Gens.
Some combination of tasks listed at http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-rr/issues/list

Remove sync dependency on graphical/other plugins.
Some combination of tasks listed at http://code.google.com/p/mupen64-rr/issues/list

Fix potential for desync when loading a savestate that doesn't belong to the current movie's input, while in read-only mode.
Some combination of tasks listed at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=832291&group_id=164579&func=browse and/or http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=832294&group_id=164579&func=browse

Bring multiplatform support to gens rerecording: should run under KDE and/or Gnome Linux environments, OSX would also be great.
Soft reset emulation: currently gens only emulates hard reset (e.g. turning power off and back on) at least one game requires a soft reset (hitting the reset button on console) to complete.
Improved controller support: Support controller types other than standard 3 button and 6 button controllers. Especially Mega Mouse, Sega Menacer, and no controller connected.
Improve input recording format: support embedding savestate, embedding SRAM, starting from embedded SRAM, other controller configurations than two 3/6 button controllers and three 3 button controllers (ideally 1-8, with ports specified, and the ability to plug/remove controllers during recording), record soft reset.
Serial EEPROM emulation for games with custom SRAM chips. TODO: Link to genesis serial EEPROM spec. Flygon: I have a friend that could be able to provide one, so, remind me to ask him if you see this TODO
Sega Pico emulation. Pico architecture is almost identical to genesis/megadrive except that the CPU has a higher clockspeed, and the controller in/out is at a different range. TODO: link to Sega Pico spec
Macro support.
Some combination of tasks listed at http://code.google.com/p/gens-rerecording/issues/list

Various CPU micro-ops are missing, resulting emulator crash if used. Implement these [Java].
Fix illegal instruction handling (generate exception, not crash the emulator) [Java].
Restore JIT core or write new CPU core (for faster execution) [Java].
All sort of generic emulation improvements in various components [Java].
Saving image differences to original and loading them back [Java].
Fix CALL FAR to non-existent segment properly report NP exception. Currently only some cases do this correctly [Java].
CD/DA support [Java].
Better FPU emulator [Java, maybe C, Assembly].
Skip illegal names when importing images or mangle them to suitable form [Java].
Fix crash when overwriting image [Java].
Add option to trap on exception [Java].
Add option to trap on movie end [Java].
Don't doubledraw/doublescan high resolution modes [Java].
Mouse UI [Java].
FLAC output for dumpconvert [C++].
Logger (ability to e.g. filter out exception spam) [Java].
Hash check override (currently one can just edit the movie file) [Java].
Read from zip archive (note: Needs to be very careful, since some games are extremely sync-unstable here) [Java].
Option to automatically figure out size for imported images [Java].
New CPU core (faster and better emulation) [Java, C, Assembly]
Plugin that does video dumping straight to FFV1/FLAC/<some-useful-container> [Java, C]
Streamtools: Investigate --output-oggenc not working correctly on Windows.

Add rerecording support to one of the emulators listed in EmulatorResources/PotentialEmulators
Look into rerecording for a more accurate N64 emulator such as 1964

TODO: Greater detail on gens tasks, tasks for other emulators.
