I wanted to switch from 1.11.3 to 1.11.5 but I can't open it. It gives me a window where it says everything is OK but Visual C++ 2015 Runtime is a FAIL. So I tried the prereq installer like the window told me to (v1.2) but now I still get that FAIL and additionally it tells me that api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing.

Ok so, I needed to install visual c++ 2015 runtime. When I tried that, there was an error "0x80240017 - Unspecified error". Then it turned out I needed to pull some more windows updates before trying to install visual c. Now everything works. My lua script I used previously had bigger text than before, which I found out is because of a 2nd color parameter that's now supported. I had to change 
function text(x, y, text, color)
	gui.drawText(x, y, text,color,8,"SF Intermosaic B")
end
to 
function text(x, y, text, color)
	gui.drawText(x, y, text,color,0x00000000,8,"SF Intermosaic B")
end
and now it works as before.

Version 1.11.6 has been released: http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/ReleaseHistory.html#Bizhawk1116 Major Changes: MGBA Savestates changed. Old Savestates do NOT work on this version. Less Important Changes: Various cores have Trace Logger support now. Updates/fixes to Debugger. Smaller fixes to TAStudio.

So I assume that the trouble with the mGBA core with the savestates are fixed? :) Great job! Minor issue, but maybe it needs an annoucement on the front page of the site?

Is there a way to use the debugger/disassembler on Bizhawk/Mednafen? Everytime I open the debugger/disassembler it tells me "This core does not currently support disassembling". Hmmmm?

No, the PSX core doesn't support disassembling, hence the message.

Looks like gui.text always has black stroked text regardless what the background color is or whether or not the background color is transparent. 
gui.text(100,120,"hi",0xFFFF0000,0x00000000)

gui.text(100,120,"hi",0xFFFF0000,0xFF000000)

gui.text(100,120,"hi",0xFFFF0000,0x00FF0000)

gui.text(100,120,"hi",0xFFFF0000,0xFFFF0000)
All give red text with black strokes.

It used to have BG color parameter used for its shadow, then I replaced the shadow with proper halo. But its color can't be changed, probably we need to remove the confusing parameter from that function.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I used extra game padding lua function with too high height, which caused the client window headbar to be offscreen at the top. I was not able to drag the window anymore as a result. Config file said 
 "MainWndy": -40,
and problem was fixed by setting that to -0.

This happens all the time in windows, there's no bug here for us to fix. It's in your hands: Alt+space, M, down down down down down down.

Or a hotkey that e.g. puts the top left corner of the emulator window to the top left corner of the first screen.

Or automatically detect when it happens, play a JACKPOT!!! sound and make the window jump around the screen for a bit and end up in the center and display 7 7 7. But I think I'll go with option A, use the windows hotkeys that are already there.

Play an SNES game, go to memory search, select memory domain "System Bus" and click on New or on the Refresh icon -> Bizhawk crashes. Other memory domains work fine.

Replicated in BSNES Performance but not BSNES Compatibility. Tested using Blackthorne MD5:EE33097D436B4901A71F7E4C9A5CB409 Address size setting doesn't seem to make a difference.

This is not a bug as such, it's just an extremely complicated confluence of awfulness. Performance core uses a slower method for reading bytes from the core (more accurate). the compatibility core uses a faster method (more safety). This method is so slow that it may take years to run. This is all related to the madness that is 'deterministic mode'. It's an endless pile of madness that we're not dealing with right now. I'll put something on the bugtracker for it though.

When TASing a GBC game in 1.11.6, when you rewind, it will not update the screen until after you frame-advanced once. Whereas in 1.11.5, it updated right after you rewinded.

Is this affecting solely GBC, or did you just write GBC because that's the one you tested?

GB testing worked fine with Nail 'n Scale MD5:521D2AA473F4E740A6938861F70511CC GBC testing worked fine with PPG: Bad Mojo Jojo MD5:258B7B8E4692D4204DF470487EF2FC3D Might be a settings thing, what display method (Config > Display > Display Method) are you using?

Sorry about the misunderstanding. It looks like it happens on all systems for me (I tested with GBC, GBA, NES). It happens on both OpenGL and Direct3D9 for me. And I copied my 1.11.5 config file over to 1.11.6 and it still happens. After pressing F2 (loadstate), "NEXT" is supposed to be underlined. But the screen didn't update. It updated after I press W (frameadvance).
