Documentation and Help
The BizHawk emulation project was made by and for TASers. Its products include the EmuHawk app and many emulation cores.
EmuHawk is a multi-system emulator frontend. It runs on most desktop and laptop PCs, can make movies (re-record) for 45+ systems, and offers unified debugging and scripting interfaces for them all, with few exceptions.
The readme on GitHub contains up-to-date setup instructions and other information for casual players—the links below are intended for TASers and glitch hunters.
EmuHawk is tightly-integrated with TAStudio, a piano roll interface for "composing" movies, which is based on FCEUX' TAS Editor. It uses savestates internally to let you rewind in an instant and adjust inputs.
TASingGuide includes a tutorial on TAStudio.
As per EmulatorResources and/or Platforms, EmuHawk is the preferred emulator for submissions to TASVideos in most cases. This is because accuracy has been valued over performance when choosing which cores to include.
That said, some less-accurate cores are included (for botting), so be aware of that when starting a project.
