Hello! I've made a new version of pocokhc's PCSX2-1.4.0-rr. You can find it here. Differences from v3.0:Lua scripts can now modify controllers' inputs; Lua engine does not automatically close when the end of the script is reached (thereby allowing data to be drawn each frame); A Virtual Pad (handles 2 controllers but not the multitap); Save/Load state to/from a file (does not generate a backup!);
Unlike gocha, I did not implement the possibilty to open multiple Lua scripts. Also, you must be warned that I'm not good at designing interfaces. Therefore, the Virtual Pad is (more than probably) not really ergonomic. I hope this can help you. And, please, don't hesitate to give some feedback ;)
Zupapa: My pleasure. Rock: May I ask you which game you're trying to record? And does it occur only for that game? Also, have you checked if it is not just that the emulator is paused? By default, the "p" key unpauses the emulator and the frame advance is on "space". I've added an automatic pause after the opening of a movie so it's probably just that ;). Important note (for everyone): DO NOT CREATE MOVIES for the moment. The movie files do NOT meet the TASvideos' requirements. It is my next task (and I don't know how long it will take).

Hi. I am a coder who interested in adding TAS capabilities to PCSX2 emulator. A half year ago, I have implemented the very basic of Lua scripting engine. https://github.com/gocha/pcsx2/tree/lua-v1.4.0 TASVideos / Lua Scripting http://tasvideos.org/LuaScripting.html However, my motivation was lost rapidly since I was stuck in a problem. The problem is thread model between the emulation core and Lua. TASVideos emulators I know are single-thread, that can be achieved so naturally, but PCSX2 is a multi-thread emulator. Since I am not very familier with PCSX2 and its internal models, I have no idea how I should handle the communication between Lua and the emulation core (or how to integrate the Lua interpreter to the core thread). Script will run:At present, my prototype can start a script from GUI, then the script will be executed on the UI thread. Of course, the emulation keeps running asynchronously while the script is running. I would be happy if someone teaches me an easy and smart idea for this or any hints. Moreover, I will be more happy if someone would code the rest of things. Thank you. https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Lua-Development-Question-with-thread-model
- When UI (or whatever a trigger) requests starting the script, the script will run immediately.
- When a script has registered some callbacks on step #1, they will be called by certain triggers. (e.g. on frame boundary, memory read, etc.)
- Additionally, most of TASVideos emulators have a co-routine style function: emu.frameadvance(). The function will stop the script execution temporary, then emulate the game for only 1 frame, then resume the script after the function call.
