I have a problem because there is a serious bug that still been used on BizHawk by today. The Direct3d9 wasn't working.

BizHawk 2.3 was running functionally. BizHawk 2.3.1 didn't run because there is a problem:

With a huge thanks to MrWint, a new version of gambatte has been merged into BizHawk. This version incorporates the improvements made over the years particularly by the speedrun community, into a newer code base that is much more manageable then before. The primary improvement in accuracy is in RTC emulation, with the hope that some gen 2 pokemon games will be verifiable on console now, pretty cool! If you are working on a TAS using the 2.3.1 version of gambatte, I strongly recommend you update to the dev build, especially if you are not too far along.

mGBA core updated, please test the hell out of it with the dev build!

I wanted to record a TAS, starting from SaveRAM, to play through Super Mario Ball's Time Attack mode (which becomes unlocked after collecting 2 star keys and can be selected via the title screen). While recording the TAS, saving and loading a state from before the game's intro cutscene will cause the Time Attack to be gone. The game will behave as if nothing has been unlocked. https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/1593

Unless I'm doing something wrong, attempting to set a custom resolution in GLideN64 just sets it back to 2880x2160 when you reload the settings. Can anyone confirm this?
Fixed.

Version 2.3.2 has been released! Downloads: https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/releases/tag/2.3.2 Tons of fixes and updates to cores and tools (took us only another half a year). See the release notes for details http://tasvideos.org/BizHawk/ReleaseHistory.html#Bizhawk232

In TAStudio if you swipe up or down on a button column in the middle of playback, it affects the seeking end zone by placing right above or below the selected frame, pausing the playback. I didn't like this change as it never happens in previous version, but it's here to stay. I'll still be using 2.3.1 and I'll be using 2.3.2 as well. This new update is recommended for NES, GB/GBC/GBA, N64, Genesis, and Atari 2600 TASes.

Hello and thanks for this new 2.3.2 version! 2 firmware related questions: 1- The Atari 7800 NTSC now has a red circle/white question mark. The info provided by BizHawk is as follow: 4096 sha1:CE236581AB7921B59DB95BA12837C22F160896CB 7800NTSCBIOS.bin NTSC Bios All 7800 NTSC firmware sources I looked at (TOSEC, MAME, No intro, etc...) have a CRC32 of 5D13730C with SHA1 of D9D134BB6B36907C615A594CC7688F7BFCEF5B43 for the 7800 NTSC BIOS. The only other firmware beside PAL, NTSC and "high score cartridge" I could find is the "DEV OS BIOS" with a CRC32 of A13C2E50 and SHA1 of CE7856AB8BF947B2D9DDC4080FA9FA2C24C3BB29. So, what is this entirely new 7800 NTSC BIOS with SHA1 of CE236581AB7921B59DB95BA12837C22F160896CB ? 2- The 3 Vectrex firmware are under "FIX ME (FirmwaresConfig.cs)" Why? Thanks, Ramon

The A7800 firmware listed is a fast load custom bios that I forgot to switch back to the official one. you can find it pretty easily by googling "atari 7800 homebrew bios". I fixed this issue in master. Maybe we can get a hotfix patch that fixes this issue fir rekease, sorry! Vectrex is work in progress so things are still being built.

Question: Since there have been years without an ideal TAS emulator for Arcade (all current ones have crashes and desync and other issues), how hard would it be for BizHawk to work with Arcade? Is it almost impossible, or just a matter of time? Thanks. :)
Recent projects: SMB warpless TAS (2018), SMB warpless walkathon (2019), SMB something never done before (2019), Extra Mario Bros. (best ending) (2020).

Iirc it was also planned to have MAME be allowed when used by libTAS, no idea where that’s going.

It's planned to eventually be supported too. And it already works: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20554

Not sure anyone will be interested, but as an offshoot of my vectrex work I'm putting together an MC6800 cpu core. It can be used for such things as some Atari Arcade machines. May or may not see any use, but since it's basically a stripped down version of the MC6809 that I already had to build for Vectrex, I figured I'd have it available while all the working knowledge was still fresh in my mind, and it would be faast to get going.

Hello and thanks for such amazing universal emulator! But I can't find some much needed features for me. Namely: automatic switch on the next state while quick save to avoid manually switch to it; autosaving (in separate state\slot); automatic menu bar hiding; bilinear interpolation to avoid pixelation. PS: Any plans to add some video filters? What about netplay?

What do you mean by OSD size?

It's fixed size bitmap font, there's no way to change it. You can draw this info with lua tho, with whatever font size you wish: gui.drawText.

Bizhawk 2.3.1 I opened a .gb ROM, then moved the .gb to a different place. I then opened hex editor and it caused an exception.

^ - Also happens in BizHawk 2.3.2 and any other ROMs. - If the ROM file moved back to original place, you can repair it with a soft reset (Emulation > Soft reset. If the core somehow doesn't have this, you will have to do hard reset). - Exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Az objektumhivatkozás nincs beállítva semmilyen objektumpéldányra.

Wow, this is awesome to see a possible MameHawk! This could lead to endless possibilities if it ever expands to many of the obscure system it can emulate outside of Arcade that no other emulator does. But yeah, lets first start with Arcade.
