So, I was trying my hand at TAS'ing Vice - Project Doom. It took a long time for me to do it by, and I had just gotten to an area of stage 9-2 before the boss fight when FCEUX crashes!NOOOOOO!
Well, now what? I asked the IRC channel about what to do about this and they said to set the movie to read+write mode and load the savestate I was at prior to the crash. So then I played the rest of the area toward the Stage 9 boss, and replayed the movie, but unfortunately it still played to the part I was still in the area before that fight.
So now, I've given up...
What do I do if I'm trying to TAS and a crash happens like this again?

(03:12:21) (Raiscan) GuidMorrow: open your "Truncated" movie. Make sure read-only is UNCHECKED.
(03:12:30) (Raiscan) then load your latest savestate you made while TASing
(03:12:55) (Raiscan) since movie information is included inside the savestate, you can continue.

I have no idea where that is, I haven't played the game. How close is it to the last place you were? If it's very close, Then do as I said above. If it isn't, then it can't be an acceptable TAS...

... You didn't watch Josh the FunkDOC's time-attack movie of Vice - Project Doom, have you?
What I would have to do is figure out the hotkey to shift from play mode into record mode before I cause any more scenes.
Since the movie was damaged, I discarded it, and all of the saved states.

1. I haven't watched every run on the site.
2. You don't need a hotkey. When you open your old movie, THEN load a savestate, the movie is magically restored to where you were when you were at that savestate point. ALL OF YOUR MOVIE DATA UP TO THAT SAVESTATE POINT IS STORED INSIDE THE SAVESTATE.
3. Why did you delete everything?
Also, I don't like it when someone completely edits the content of their post after someone's already posted. it's REALLY irritating.

Even though you'll be overwriting your old movie when you open it for writing, it doesn't matter, because when you open that savestate it'll all be awesome again.
