I was wondering if there is any plans to implent the SMS light phaser for games like Rescue Mission into Bizhawk? There is no rush but just would like to know if it is planned for a future revision.

Highly probable that the 1.7 release will have SMS light phaser support for casual play. For recording into movies, that's less likely. That needs either a big change to the movie system or another hack workaround that will make a big change to the movie system even harder.

Sounds good to hear. I dont plan to TAS any SMS lightgun games just regular play, so that is fine.

The fate of light gun oriented TASes hasn't been good. I would say it isn't a particularly interesting TAS concept. So yeah, I"m leaning towards releasing peripheral support like this even without movie rerecording support since it isn't a high priority rerecording feature anyway.
