Quicksave and Quickload are hardcoded throught Win32 API. You can't change them without recompiling. And you can't assign it to gamepad button. For now, your best alternative is to use an utility that maps controller button to keyboard key. There's normaly one included with popular controllers.
Features that are missing:
1st It's very complicated to resume a movie.You should include save & load during playing the movie.So it can resume the movie more easily.
2nd I don't like using ESC to pause the emu. There must be a way to configure it ourself.

1) You can save and load during playing the movie. However, controller input is disabled while playing a movie. So you'll have to do it using the menu or with F5 or F8. So you can for exemple, Play a movie, hit F5 to save the point where you want to rerecord, select the Resume record menu, and then it F8 (or quickload key). If you have a better idea on how to implement it, tell me.
2) It will be a little difficult because Pause have to be processed before controller input is updated. I'll see what I can do. Is there any other option that needs to be assigned on a game key ?

hmm maybe you should ask Bisqwit or Blip.But well I know how it works now. ;)

Hmm don't think so.
Btw is there a way to lower the speed to 10% or even lower? I think it should be adjusted manually like in Famtasia or VirtuaNes.
Good works.
If you implement a slowdown function like the one in virtuanes and the throttle on-off button can be assigned to the pad it can save loads of time during for example unskippable intros.

It could works that way :
One menu/button to toggle slow mode.
One menu to select slow mode speed.
The slection of slow speed would be 50% , 33,3% , 25% , 20 %, 16,7%, 10% and 6,25 %
I'll try.
For fast foward, just set frameskip to 9. Implementing it in the same way of slow mode is instable.
All other features are implemented. See first post.
Got to give this a shot, I was never a genesis kid but I know for sure I am going to die when I see a sonic 2 run. That game is out of control and I expect to see like 10 versions, reaching times unheard of.
I suppose that if I have a bug report I should report it here, yes?
In the process of re-recording, some of my videos became corrupted from the beginning. At this point, I am certain that what's going on is a Quick Load is causing the frame data to be written to the front of the file. I suspect this because, using backups, I was able to restore the file and append that "corrupted" data from the front of the file to the end and recover the work I had just lost.
This happened twice in Contra Hard Corp roughly 18 minutes into the game. It might have happened a third time when I played through just for fun before I was working on my time attack.
Hopefully, if you're planning on trying to fix this problem, I've given enough information. I still have the backups and the glued-together versions, if you need those.
I have encountered this desync problem through resuming my Sonic 3 and Knuckles movie.
What I did before i stopped was play a little forward after Angel Island 2 (When Knuckles destroys the bridge after you beat Robotnik/Eggman) then during playback i resume the movie during the Act Completed screen.
If you want i could send both versions of the .gmv to show you (My backup and the corrupted file).
I just made a discovery. Messing with video settings ingame is prone to cause desync because the emulator skips a frame. This include :
- Going in/out full screen
- Resizing windows
- Toggle Vsync
- Ajust color setting
- Stretch
Changing frameskip have no effect. You can still do the previous operations before a movie is playing/recording.

For some reason it refuses to allow the input data in recordings to exceed 65535 bytes, and it just starts giving out error messages [Block error writing frame : #####]
I'm guessing that some variable is being limited to two bytes when it shouldn't be.
I have also experienced the problem with the first part of the recording being corrupted. A sure way to get it to happen is to record a movie, make a savestate, and exit Gens.
Then reopen Gens, open the game, and immediately use 'Resume record from savestate'.
This doesn't happen if you use 'Play Movie' first...
