I'm wondering if there's a way to output the controller inputs to an attractive-looking Input Display, for example an image of a controller, while playing the TAS video. Seems like this could be nice to see in videos when users are wondering what the heck the TAS is doing.

Usually this is done using a lua script - play back a movie file in emulator, and have the lua script draw a controller image on screen and draw images of pressed buttons when they are pressed in the movie file. The specifics of this depend on what emulator you are using, what console is being emulated, and whether said console's controller uses things like analog input or not.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time.

Any pre-existing scripts for N64 input in particular? I'd especially love it if someone had made one that shows both TAS inputs, and also can show live controller inputs, but I'd be happy to have just TAS inputs, since I can easily use other tools for live input.

From where can I download these useful LUA files?

Will this work on BizHawk?
