I have been working on a spyro 3 tas for about 4 months, and now after making it to the final boss I have found out that this game is not possible to tas on Psxjin/rr, because this happens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StAC2SWf7wk . The game works fine on epsxe, but why not psxjin/rr. It does not make any sense to me. If anyone knows any plugins or anyway possible to avoid the copyright protection, please notify me.

If it is in fact copy protection, it could be reacting poorly simply due to bad emulation in psxjin. Have you double checked your ISO? Try to match it by checksum to one of the ones on redump.org. If it doesn't match, rip it again.

More specifically, take checksums of the ISO and compare to the checksums on redump.

Ok, so you have a good disk. If psxjin won't play it back right, then 99% it's a psxjin emulation problem. Sorry =/

Well, I didn't try anything =p However, I do have a bit of familiarity with the PSXjin code-base and the developers of it. It's not horrid, but it's not perfect, and more importantly, there's no real active development of the emulation core at this point. Unless it runs correctly in pcsx-rr, the only tas option may be to wait for a new emulator to come along.

Maybe someone here can ask the authors of Xebra for the source code...

http://drhell.web.fc2.com/ps1/ Anyone who speaks Japanese is free to go ahead, the GUI and English manual for the emulator hints that English is not a good language for him.
