I still notice a little bit of blurring when comparing with the original (non-horizontally blended) AVI dump.

The first one is insanely blurry. The second and third ones are less blurry, but aren't exactly the best, either.

Try AreaResize as well please. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kn56wh7r81vk2rx
After point-resizing the original non-horizontally blended dump to a factor of 8 or 16, then resizing it back to the original resolution with AreaResize, I still got a very visible mesh. As for the horizontally blended one, I got a result very close to the 5th screenshot (after first point-resizing it to a factor of 8, then downscaled straight to 330x240 with AreaResize): The following is with first downscaling to 660x240 with AreaResize, then point-resizing it to 330x240:

I'm....not sure if I like the end result (especially since it quadruples the amount of frames). Like, it ends up being a bit blurry as the end result. (it also results in the video being kinda shaky, but that might be because the video is 59.88 FPS normally, and conventional monitors usually have a refresh rate of around 60 Hz)

With the advent of the Saturnus core in BizHawk 2.0 and later, a new option has made its appearance (in that specific core): Horizontal blending. If this option is enabled, BizHawk stretches the output to twice the width with some filtering applied. I've done a bit of research regarding how the Sega Saturn handled transparency (I really recommend reading the article and watching the video): http://www.mattgreer.org/articles/sega-saturn-and-transparency/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_OchOV_WDg As it turns out, many Saturn games go for a mesh approach to handle transparency. This consists of drawing every other pixel of a sprite to simulate a transparency effect. This is where it gets interesting: On composite output, the mesh is blurred in such a way that e.g. the spotlights in Mega Man X4 appear transparent. However, the mesh is clearly visible on S-Video or RGB output. Conversely, I'm currently handling the publication of a Saturn game called Tryrush Deppy. I dumped it once without horizontal blending and once with horizontal blending. Now, I'm going to show 6 screenshots with different approaches, with pros and cons: Original dump without horizontal blending: Pros: Picture is crystal clear Cons: Mesh is clearly visible AviSynth code: N/A (well, aside from opening the AVIs) No horizontal blending, blur filter applied via AviSynth: Pros: No mesh visible Cons: Picture is obviously blurry AviSynth code: Blur(1.00) No horizontal blending, horizontal blur filter applied via AviSynth: Pros: No mesh visible Cons: Picture is obviously blurry (though not as blurry as the above one). AviSynth code: Blur(1, 0) #note the comma instead of the period Horizontal blending, resized back to original width with LanczosResize: Pros: Mesh is less visible. Cons: Picture isn't as clear. AviSynth code: LanczosResize(330, 240, taps=2) Horizontal blending, resized back to original width with PointResize: Pros: Picture is clear, mesh isn't as visible as in the non horizontally blended one. Cons: Some parts might appear overly squished, due to the nature of PointResize. AviSynth code: PointResize(330, 240) So, what would be the best approach for handling the mesh effect present in many Saturn games? I myself am torn between no horizontal filtering with absolutely no blurring applied and either one of the two horizontal blending ones. Something of note is that footage I found on YouTube (SGDQ 2017 speedrun, full playthrough) have the mesh clearly visible.

For the record, this TAS uses the wrong BIOS. It uses the Japanese BIOS instead of the correct American one: http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html#MatchTheBiosRegionToTheGameSRegion

Personally, I feel that a F-Zero TAS (or any racing game TAS) that only completes one cup instead of all of them is more like a WIP than a full game TAS. I'm not going to vote.

This TAS is giving the warning that it starts from a savestate. I can safely confirm that the TAS can be loaded on power on with no warning. It does not need the savesate.
You selected "Record from now" instead of "Record from start". By the way, the savestate is actually embedded into the FM2.

Have you tried installing the prereqs? If the issue persists, perhaps you could ask in the BizHawk sub-forum to see why you can't run BizHawk.

Okay, managed to get it to sync. You actually need the Nunchuk plugged into Wiimote 1, otherwise, it will desync at the save file creation screen. Something else of note is that you also need two GC memory cards plugged into Slots 1 and 2, otherwise, the WIP will desync early in Stage 1. Regardless of that, pretty nice WIP you have there, even if it's a testrun. Gotta enjoy undead Christopher Belmont for most of Stage 4. By the way, if my memory serves right, you stopped at the Stage 4 mid-boss (the golem, I believe), not the Stage 4 boss (I at least recall some witch screaming "DIE!" and having an evil laugh as the Stage 4 boss).

Est-ce que tu as modifié la résolution interne, l'anti-aliasing etc? Parce que forcément si tu laisse en 320x240 (qui est la résolution de base, si je ne me trompe pas?) ça sera assez moche. Tu peux monter à, par exemple 800x600 ou plus.
En effet, si on met l'anti-crénalage et le filtrage anisotrope (anisotropic filtering) au maximum, on aura des polygones plus lisses, même à 320x240. Par contre, 800x600 est quand tu multiplies la résolution de base (320x240) par 2.5, ce qui n'est pas forcément optimal. Je recommande (pour YouTube, en tout cas) de multiplier la résolution de base par 3 (960x720), voire par 4 (1280x960). zoboner: Ca dépend aussi de quel plug-in graphique que tu utilises. GlideN64 est en ce moment le meilleur plug-in à utiliser sur BizHawk, vu que les images qu'il produit sont nettement plus proches de la console originale (N64) que d'autres (p.ex. Glide64mk2 ou... Jabo (l'un des pires)), même si tu laisses les paramètres par défaut (par contre, l'anti-crénalage se trouve sous le nom de "MultiSampling"). Par contre, le fichier BK2 contient aussi des informations sur le plug-in que t'as utilisé, donc si t'as pas utilisé GlideN64, mais par exemple Glide64mk2, la run risque de désynchroniser sur GlideN64 (parce que (si je ne me trompe pas) il y a des différences de timing sur GlideN64 que sur d'autres).

Did you start the testrun with dirty SRAM? I always get stuck at the save file creation screen at the beginning. Also, please state the Dolphin version you used. (by the way, this requires the Classic Controller in Wiimote 1)

For the record, The8bitbeast, you can also transcribe the audio commentary as soft subtitles, so that the publisher saves a ton of time when actually publishing the encodes with the transcribed audio commentary.
