By the way, can you recommend other TAS tools on PC besides hourglass?

It won't. libTAS is built strictly for and around Linux architecture. Asking for it to run on Windows would be like asking an NES emulator to play Playstation games.

afaik, the reason why Hourglass burned out and LibTAS is going strong is because Linux's API is way more friendly to the idea of being TAS'd inside of than Windows. (Or it could just be bad luck, Hourglass's original dev DID vanish after all. But everyone who took it over was smart and determined and couldn't get it all the way there, which makes me think it's relatively nightmarish.)
