Hello, I make a TAS on Fire Emblem : Path of Randiance (It's my first TAS on Dolphin and even the very first TAS) and obviously I cannot finish it in one day, like all TAS. So I have currently done two parts, one for the creation of the party and a second for the first mission. The problem is, I can't combine the two in one DTM file. I looked for a bit and I changed the count Input and count VI in the header. Unfortunately, and I don't understand why, when I read TAS, it always stops at the same place, ie at the end of the first part. I had to activate the pause at the end of the film, I thought it came from that, so I removed it and there the film continues but without all the keys of the second part, which makes the game run in the wind. How can I combine my two DTM files? Hoping to have been understandable !

While it is possible to combine two DTM files (maybe you forgot to change the tick count), it is rather annoying to do and is not something you're supposed to do in normal cases. Instead, when you want to continue on a TAS, load the DTM file you already have into Dolphin and continue appending inputs at the end of it.

Ha yes indeed, I did not know what it corresponded to so I preferred not to touch. I thought that the TAS was done in several files then that all were assembled because I did not know that we could continue following a DTM file, I will do it like that indeed! Thank you I will finally be able to move forward
