Looking into the Stella source code, I found this nugget inside statemanager.cxx ........ 
{
  switch(myActiveMode)
  {
    case kMovieRecordMode:
      myOSystem->console().controller(Controller::Left).save(myMovieWriter);
      myOSystem->console().controller(Controller::Right).save(myMovieWriter);
      myOSystem->console().switches().save(myMovieWriter);
      break;

    case kMoviePlaybackMode:
      myOSystem->console().controller(Controller::Left).load(myMovieReader);
      myOSystem->console().controller(Controller::Right).load(myMovieReader);
      myOSystem->console().switches().load(myMovieReader);
      break;

    default:
      break;
  }
}
This clearly looks like they are adding TAS features!!!
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

If this ends up being some sort of hoax I'm gonna do this: Obvious but effective.

Goodie, now we can run... er... Pitfall and Adventure! And ET! I totally call ET.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

Explain. Because all it looks like is that they are adding movie recording features. "Movie recording features" does not equal "TAS features".

True, but it's one necessary step towards it.
