I'm trying to play a Game Gear game (Halley Wars), but when I press my keys to do stuff, nothing happens.
I set B1 to Z and B2 to X, but when I press the Z and X keys the game simply doesn't respond to my commands. It's like I didn't press anything at all.
What should I do?

Does the game expect you to press start?
I Just noticed yesterday in fact, that Reset is "Start" on game gear. The ui isn't clear on that, and Reset is in the console tab (unmapped by default in 1.6.1). Map that to a button and you should be able to start your game.

So as of today, I added an option to set the Cpu core type (Pure Interpreter, Interpreter, and Dynarec). The default in bizhawk up to now was dynarec, which is a very POOR choice for sync stability!
If anyone has had desync issues, please contact me about getting a binary of the newest version to test if this fixes desync issues for you.

I wanted to say thank you to adelikat for keeping up on those bug reports I keep submitting. Stupid stuff probably, but those little things need to be done eventually.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.
The Prince doth arrive he doth please.
This may not be a bug but it could be. I'm trying to display the actual speed on the screen and I followed the examples at http://tasvideos.org/LuaScripting/Display.html
But I am getting this exception: "attempt to call field 'readdword' (a nil value)"
The syntax I used was:
local SpeedAddr = 0x18CFE4;
while true do
Speed=memory.readdword(SpeedAddr);
gui.text(380,450, Speed);
emu.frameadvance();
end
Is this incorrect? The speed address is for Mario Kart 64 and it's a four byte floating point value.
Solarplex, the guidance I linked to says to use two d's for a four byte value: "readword for two bytes, and readdword for four bytes." I've tried with and without the semicolons :-(.
Interesting. I hadn't seen those other memory commands, thank you for bringing those to my attention. I think this one should be memory.readfloat . I am not near my emulator to try though.

readdword (double word) would probably translate to read_s32_le or read_u32_le.

It seems with v1.7.0, the input display carries over savestates (at least for gameboy color), which makes it very confusing when TASing.
Uhhhhh, not sure what that means, but that sounds concerning. Not sure I understand what you mean though, can you give me repro steps? And can you test other cores to see if it is specific to GB?

1. Play back a movie
2. Make a savestate on a frame without input
3. Go to a frame with input
4. Load the savestate
The input display would not be cleared and carry over from the frame with input.

I see a bug. If you are in replay mode and load a state, the input from before the loadstate will be shown. But this input will NOT have any affect on the movie. I can fix that. I don't agree that the input is having any affect, it is purely cosmetic. I will need better repro steps if you are convinced this is the case.
I set B1 to Z and B2 to X, but when I press the Z and X keys the game simply doesn't respond to my commands. It's like I didn't press anything at all.
What should I do?
I probably used the wrong function though.
