Beyond that, how does it even work? Recently someone made a test tas with pokemon mini libretro core which wasn't "ported" to bizhawk(whatever that means). Because he was able to use tas studio and movie recording and such. I get it that a core would need save states to even start a tas(plus maybe its own video recording as well). And retroarch works on Linux so you'd simply make a .so file to run off of(which i don't know how to do).

*bump* there is a folder for Linux: http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/latest/ Unfortunately, I can't test it until I get my laptop back(using my android for internet for the time being). Its in the shop again.

*bump* using libretro is straightforward. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It's entirely expirermental and incomplete. Can someone delete this thread? It's just embarrassing.
