Oh, wow! This new release is a huge improvement in performance on my machine. Max throttle speed in GBCHawk went from 77 fps in 1.5.1 to 400 fps in this! Thanks, BizHawk team!
GBC should be faster in next release (well, might not make 1.52? Might be not until 1.6).
I understood, thanks Sergunov!!
In NesCarts (2011-09-10).xml (NesCarts.7z) lines:
system="NES-NTSC"
or
system="Famicom"
change to
system="Dendy"
Wait for next version of bizhawk!!))
Why does the forum index now list GBA and Genesis among BizHawk's cores? There is no GBA core in the current release (attempting to open a GBA ROM results in an error that no core can load the game) and the Genesis core isn't finished (as adelikat said just today).
NES emulation isn't perfect yet. On #1011: Acmlm's NES Monopoly in 00:30.03 I'm getting desyncs. On FCEUX 2.2.2 it's fine. I don't know what kind of issue this is. The title screen lasts longer or something.

Is that run console verified? It's not marked as such.

No. But I have tested it on both old ppu and new ppu on fceux 2.2.2. Although it may be a movie conversion issue because it is an odd desync. Try it your self. You are right though. Considering both are made by adelicat I don't know why he would make the ppu much differant. Which ppu is most accurate?

BizHawk 1.5.3 Released!
This release features a significant rearchitecture of the dll files, and a renaming of the rather mundane bizhawk.multiclient.exe to EmuHawk.exe. As a result you must extract this into a fresh folder. If you extract over an existing release it will not work! Also, sorry to say, again an old config.ini is not recommended.
Main features of this release are some very big fixes (especially for N64Hawk), and more core specific lua functionality (including "lua breakpoints" for many cores).
As usual, I recommend reading the
full release notes.
Windows binary
I reported many bugs to Adelikat, now he fixed them congrats all coder of bizhawk!
Current:
Rayman 3 maybe? idk xD
Paused:
N64 Rayman 2 (with Funnyhair)
GBA SMA 4 : E Reader (With TehSeven)
TASVideos is like a quicksand, you get in, but you cannot quit the sand
I love it! It now runs at the same speed whether you're playing casually, playing back a movie, or even have RAM Watch open. I'll have to try out those N64Hawk fixes sometime too; they sound great. Thank you, BizHawk coders!
Thx guys. Great fixes, makes using Bizhawk so much easier. :)
I guess something has changed with savestates? When I try to load an old state I get an error. It will still load after, but it doesn't work when a movie is playing. Well not that big of a deal.
Sadder is that my RAM watch values for MM don't work anymore. Oh well I'll live. :D
Just a general warning for TASers: N64 movie recording from a state still doesn't work. Don't even try, you'll waste your time.

Great job coders! Loving that "clear" button on the TAS input!
It was actually there before if you right-clicked. I didn't know that either, before adelikat told me.
Also if you right-click on the analog-field it will reset to 0x0. Took me some time to figure out that one, too.
So, I can see Virtual X68000 is an open source emulator according to this page: http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/PotentialEmulators.html
Is it possible adding its core to BizHawk? I'd seriously LOVE some Sharp X68000 compatibility, especially because it has some really nice shmups.

I support the above request! Has some cool exclusives.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Last I checked, GenesisPlus GX doesn't do 32X emulation.
I checked and Bizhawk won't run Sega CD games either, yet. I just want to have things be ready for the future.
I gave Virtua Racing a try and it appears to behave nicely. I also tested a few other games and they also appeared to work. Rerecording is not in the Genesis Core, yet. I tried to import the Ecco the Dolphin TAS, and Bizhawk says, "6 button controllers are not properly supported." Virtua Racing, confirmed that I did indeed have a 6 button pad connected to both port 1 and port 2. And the 6 button pad, worked correctly.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.

That didn't stay true for long, based on recent commit history.
I'm disappointed that he's basically replacing vecna's attempt at C# cores with more native code, but I guess it wasn't going to be fixed anytime soon anyway since he doesn't want to touch it anymore.
32x wouldn't be entirely impossible following the same approach. The guys who do the OS X emulator OpenEmu solved the 32x problem by using both GenesisPlusGX and PicoDrive code. Picodrive has a 32x core written in C. The emulator as a whole is not as accurate as Genesis Plus GX though.

Nothing that has happened has to be permanent, the C# core is still in the code base. But the reality is that it has been 2 years since vecna has worked on his core. The reality is that most likely it is dead or won't be done anytime soon. We do need to look for alternatives. And G+ seems to be a great alternative.
