I described what happens there in Russian here: https://sourceforge.net/p/feos-tas/wiki/GameEnd/
If google translate doesn't work well for you, I'll translate it and put on the Battletoads resource page. We have this game disassembled to atoms, so it should be very doable. We could move to another thread with this if you want.
Console verifiable Battletoads is what we couldn't afford for all these years, and we mostly know exactly why! It rolls rng subroutine all the free time cpu has, and that varies from emu to emu and from emu to console.

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.
google translate was almost readable, but not enough for me to grasp it.
Yeah feel free to move this to the battletoads game thread or the NESHawk tests thread, I would also like to see this console verified. I feel like it should be doable.
For some reason Windows Defender is throwing a fit with the ffmpeg binary included with 1.11.7. I'm sure it's probably a false positive, but just to be sure, which build is it supposed to be?

Can you post what Windows Defender is saying?
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war.

Here's the "More Info" link from Windows Defender: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aWin32%2fVarpes.M!cl&threatid=2147708972&enterprise=0
Here's the SHA256 hash for the file that was in the archive and is triggering the detection in Windows Defender: A07911CF74F03989DC428C610AB723D282EF25ECB997D15E181059D579C8DC04
I'd give the MD5 hash, but I don't have a tool for that on hand.
I've had something similar happen a while ago with a build of SNES9x. In that case the AV I had at the time triggered on the LUA dll that was in that particular build.
Edit: Apparently phpBB doesn't like to parse links with exclamation points in them, so you may need to copy and paste the link instead of clicking it.

I'm trying to load some .brm/.crm Sega CD saves from Fusion to Bizhawk, but I don't see a way to load them?
I tried just renaming the saves to .SaveRAM, but that didn't work. I noticed Bizhawk creates them as 24KB, but using fusion to create a RAM cart it only allows 8, 16, 32, 64, 128KB backup sizes.
So, is there any way to make bizhawk recognize those brm/crm files?
I just got around to trying it, and it does trigger for me with that build as well.
Also, for some reason Firefox is not liking appveyor. Had to copy the link into Edge to get the file.

Then it's clearly a false positive: the release build I had to pack by hand, while the appveyor one was made by the tool that only uses the source files.

Would it help to open the save files in a hexeditor, then copy paste select parts of the data from the ones made from Fusion, then paste said parts on the ones made on BizHawk?

I wouldn't really know what to copy/paste or where to even start.

Hi there, I am really interested in getting the Marl-O project working, however, I am a Mac user and really did not find any clear instructions for Mac specifically. Is there a DMG file available, if not, should I follow the instruction there downloading VisualStudio suite and start from there?

Version 1.11.8.2 has been released!
[EDIT]: Updated link for 1.11.8.2 that fixes mGBA savestates
Changelog:
http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/ReleaseHistory.html#Bizhawk11182
Downloads:
https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/releases/tag/1.11.8.2
This is a major update for N64 because it now includes GLideN64 support!
In addition there are some big accuracy improvements to NesHawk (specifically improvements to match real console behavior on console verifications).
Also, we updated to mGBA 0.5, and as usual, numerous TAStudio fixes and improvements.
Using the mGBA core on 1.11.8 seems to give me "Loadstate error!" on any savestates, even if I just made new ones.
Edit: The interim now gives:
System.NotSupportedException: Memory stream is not expandable.

Actual question since I only just noticed this.
Why does SNES default to Performance core now?
It used to be Compatibility up until the release of 1.11.6.
I mainly ask this as it was never mentioned in the Changelog.

The issue has been fixed, and 1.11.8.1 has been released. The post has been updated to reflect the new build.
Selecting mGBA then restarting core immediately crashes for me.
The error is still

So that is fixed now, and I updated the link to point to 1.11.8.2. Hopefully we are done patching now :)
Seems to work now. Thanks! Sorry about that.
Edit: My run desyncs, but fortunately adding 9 frames to the very beginning somehow made it work again. :)
I've just tested nestopia_libretro.dll with BizHawk.
Core is working, thank you for good work.
I have a question.
Some libretro cores (including nestopia, gambatte, etc.) have individual config, called "core options".
User can change NTSC/PAL region, startup RAM init values and other things, like palette. Set of options are individual on different cores.
Have you plan to add "core options" support in the future?
Libretro support looks unfinished without this.
Thank you.

How did you confiure Bizhawk? Every time I load a game with fbalpha_libretro.dll, there is a NullReferenceException, which makes it impossible to record a movie.
