I am sorry if I am such an extreme noob right now, but I have searched around and found nothing. Also sorry if this is in the wrong place. I have set up Dolphin according to all the video tutorials on Youtube. My problem is, that when I record a video, it can't play back. When I try to play it back, it just stays as a black screen at the beginning. Also, how would you be able to TAS with as little save/loadstate lag as possible? EDIT: How do you record from the start of the rom, instead of from a savestate. I use Dolphin r7719M btw

I'm still on 7323, but I don't think anything has changed. You select "start recording" in the dropdown menu. Dolphin will now start up the last game you played. Every savestate you make will record your button sequence (meaning you can close Dolphin, then re-open it and load the savestate to continue TASing). When finished, select "export recording" or "stop" and it should ask you where to save your DTM (dolphin tas movie). This is your recording that you can play back in the emulator. Why can't you play it back? Black screen would suggest the emulator is paused. Unpause it using Play/Pause (in non-frame advance mode). Also note that Dolphin will not save your settings or memory cards in the DTM, so you may need to back up your memory card file. What do you mean by TASing with as little savestates as possible?
