TAS uses should be aware of this:
Update: a few hours after release, a bug causing crashes with Windows x64 and Single Core mode was found by testers. Single Core mode is not used for regular gameplay but is usually required for TAS and NetPlay. While it only affects a few specific use cases of the emulator, we still consider this a critical issue and we will release a Dolphin 4.0.1 version fixing this bug. Sorry for the inconvenience.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.

We can't merge natt's a/v sync hack because there are a few problems with it, and it's not very clean code. Someone is planning to rewrite the video dumping feature from scratch, but it's going to take a while. In the mean time, we unfortunately, just have to keep doing what we have been.

そうですか・・・気長に待ちます。
Operation related to TAS of N64/GC/Wii/PS2 emulator is often investigated.
Downloaded Dolphin 4.0 today.
Mega Man 9 works fine with dual core enabled, but disabling it (to TAS) force closes dolphin as soon as it starts with no error message.
Anybody else experience an issue like this?

Known bug in 4.0 release. As Patashu noted, it was fixed soon after.
Quick question (that doesn't deserve a thread) : Is it safe to run Dolphin 4.0 AND Dolphin 3.5 at the same time ? (to compare stuff)
I don't see why it would not be safe (I assume you meant 4.0-<something> or 4.0.1, since 4.0 release isn't TAS-safe).
(I have had system go nuts when running lots of emulators, but the system load was probably loads more than what two Dolphins could do).

I know this is kinda late, but is there an issue report on this so I can follow the progress?

phire is apparently looking into the video dumping side of things, but the current code is a bit convoluted.

As of 4.0-2729 Dolphin now had accurate fmuls/fmadd emulation in the JIT and Interpreter. What does that mean? It more or less means that collision detection (Super Mario Galaxy 2, getting stuck on some corners for example) and physics issues (Mario Kart Wii/Double Dash with landing/turning) should be accurate to console, rather than having their own set of issues for Dolphin.
This should affect a ton of games in a very, very positive way. Clipping tricks that didn't work on Dolphin should work, physics should be more accurate, and of course, games with replay functionality will sync up with console. We've verified replays in Donkey Kong Country Returns (Superplay functionality), along with Mario Kart Wii, Double Dash!!, Super Smash Bros Brawl and F-Zero GX (Replay functionality in each game) with replays recorded on console played on emulator successfully, and then a replay recorded on emulator verified on console.
Less exciting for TASers is that this also means that dolphin in theory should will sync up in lockstep games with Console, such as Wifi mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and BBA titles such as Kirby Air Ride and Mario Kart Double Dash!!

Due to my testing and attempts at parsing DTM files, I found invalid data was being written. Like you always have a number of bongos equal to the number of GC contollers. So newer Dolphin Revisions (newer then 4.0-3022) should be writing correct data. Revision 4.0-3089 is for sure writing the correct values.
Big thanks to RachelB for putting up with me and fixing this stuff.
Partial list of fixes:
Number of Bongos is now correct.
Memory Card status (in slot A or B or Both) is written correctly.
Up to 4 Gamecube Controllers and up to 4 Wiimotes are supported in a single DTM. Enjoy having 8 separate controllers in your favorite Wii Game.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.

Honestly, i doubt anyone encountered these problems before. it only occured if you started recording, then stopped, then started again, but with fewer bongos/memory cards than the previous time. I doubt too many people have ever done that.
