Everything is OK with Sega Saturn core?
BIOS of USA 1.00 is compatible with all other BIOSes (Eu and Jap). I remember it wasn't in earlier versions.
Which SS ROM formats are compatible with Bizhawk? I'm trying to play .mdf and .mds, but emulator says "This Rom was not found in the database. ...". After I choose Sega Saturn, I get the following error:
where "Данный ключ отсутствует в словаре" means something like "The following key is absent at the dictionary"
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
That's your clue that there is no information other than whatever you can find natt writing because it's natt's invention.
MDF and MDS is not supported. Only cue+bin and ccd is supported.
I don't understand this whole "waterbox" technique..
I wonder if there's any online sources to help search? Naively googling "waterbox" seems to link me to aquariums, so any pointers please?
I made up the word. If you're interested in it from a more technical standpoint, it's most similar to things like Emacs unexec or Hourglass (yes, the emulator).
The emulated core is loaded in memory in a predictable way, and then the savestate becomes just a snapshot of all of the memory that the core used.
The details are of course a lot hairier than that...

Did Bizhawk 2.0 drop compatibility with Camstudio Lossless codec? I don't see it in the list of compressors anymore, but Lagarith is still there.
Bizhawk will use any supported VFW codec, but there is a separate list of VFW codes for 32 and 64 bit. Lagarith installs both together. I don't remember if there is a Camstudio 64 bit version.
Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math.

Yes. Here, I made an audio comparison video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1OwD6vUhiQ
Here is the order I went through things:
-Dark Law (higan balanced -> snes9x 1.53 -> higan performance -> snes9x 1.54)
-Haisei Mahjong (higan balanced -> snes9x 1.53 -> higan performance -> snes9x 1.54)
-Super Pinball (higan balanced -> snes9x 1.53 -> higan performance -> snes9x 1.54)
As it can be seen, audio is completely wrecked in performance/1.54. But it works correctly in balanced/1.53.
Byuu found a fix for this, so it shouldn't be a problem come our next release. Snes9x can regain its title as the second bestest snes emulator ever (first bestest being znes)

BizHawk 2.0.1 released. Primarily this is a patch release for 2.0 especially for Genesis, Sega-CD, and Saturn fixes. Also the NES and GBA core picker menu items were fixed.
Release notes
In Biz 2.0.1 they're listed in the usual Firmwares menu at the very bottom, under the headings FIX ME (FirmwaresConfig.cs), though when I tested it did not go through the boot animations so I can't confirm that it's actually implemented with 2.0.1
I'm using sha1:4ED31EC6B0B175BB109C0EB5FD3D193DA823339F for GB and sha1:1293D68BF9643BC4F36954C1E80E38F39864528D for GBC
@pokota: you have to go to the GB menu and select the enable bios option, then reboot the core. It's not enabled by default currently.
@Fortranm: no, but I will test it and see how gambette handles it, if it works I'll add the option for it.
EDIT: looks like it works, I'll just need to figure out the best way to make this option presentable to the user.
So I'm trying the 2.0 version.
So far I didn't get into major bugs. I just got a couple of minor TAStudio annoyances, all posted on the Github.
Props for the team on the update! =)

If memory serves, the MDF/MDS disc image specification is proprietary to Alcohol Soft, not open-source, so support for it cannot be implemented.
you should also be able to use DiscoHawk (included with BizHawk) to accomplish the same thing, though to be fair I haven't done MDF/MDS images through it yet.

Disco hawk does not have mdf support yet. But there are free apps out there that can do the conversion (they all have awful ui though). It would be nice to add to discohawk but since it is proprietary, I don't know what kind of options we have there.
Small bug report. Y coordinates on the Virtual Pad for the 3D Pad in Sega Saturn doesn't register. I've only tested this on NiGHTS into Dreams for the moment. Also is there a way to use the latest Yabause core instead of Mednafen? Mednafen is quite poor at running the game at a stable rate.
That sounds rather unlikely to me. NiGHTS would have been one hell of a well tested game on mednafen's saturn core. Maybe the framerate isn't _supposed_ to be stable, and yabause's timing is just that inaccurate. If the framerate is not "stable" due to your system's poor performance, then that's not our problem. There's no way to use the latest yabause core, or an older yabause core.
For OpenAL in BizHawk 2.0, shouldn't openal64.dll be used?
BizHawk 1.13 and earlier used openal32.dll for OpenAL.
I don't know offhand what the naming convention is for various OpenAL related binaries, but I don't have to check; if Bizhawk was trying to load a native binary for the wrong bitness, it would not work at all. But OpenAL output works in Bizhawk 2.x.
