Any idea when Ares64 will be usable? Tested it on 2.8 and it lagged like a mofo on either core (obviously I'd need to use Accuracy).
Got like 20 fps on an amazing PC. Mario Golf only works on it though. The Mupen core is a clusterfuck, game is so broken!
Really nice to see Ares handle it

2.9 may see some performance improvements, but even then you will need a beefy PC to have a chance at running at full speed maybe. The core is very intensive, and even more so with angrylion placed in.

Should I expect that TASing on it would be suitable for an encoder to run it?
I guess that's the golden question. I don't mind not running it at full speed but obviously it would need to on somebody's PC (Pokemon pun not intended) to be encoded.
Not sure if encoders like despoa or EZGames69 have had any luck with it. Definitely interested in using it.

I don't know where you got this idea from. Encoding isn't just pointing OBS at the main window and hitting play. You can do it slower than real-time.

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

I guess that's true. But you know what I mean. If it passes through something like FFMpeg unscathed, that's great.

I was going to recommending adding speeds above 400% but I guess unchecking the throttle creates the same result.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
Finally after a long time, Bizhawk now runs Arcade games. I was already enjoying the builds a lot and recording with them without any problems (even when the core was still experimental, it was excellent), but I'm very happy to see the definitive version 2.9 being released to us. I was already expecting the deprecation of FBA-RR and MAME-RR (emulators which I've always had serious problems with bugs and desyncs), but I believe that time itself has taken care of that. Many thanks to the Bizhawk programmers for making this great emulator. Even when a new version comes out, I'm always looking forward to another, and another version.
Was just thinking today, man it'd be great do to some arcade TASes on BizHawk 2.9 but it's not released yet.
I own roughly 130 arcade games so it's my forte. Glad to see it released.

Would love if we could get a stopwatch-style timer (counts up) toggleable under the "View" tab, that would display in the GUI alongside of the frame counter, lag counter, and re-record counter.
Probably easy enough to add in from pressing play, but I suppose with the tracking back and forth it would need to calculate the frames alongside of the frames per second for that specific console for jumping around in TAStudio. Sometimes after hours of work I'd like to see how far in the game I actually am in "real-time". I guess it some ways it would also make comparing branches a tad easier, although the frame counter serves that purpose better, so I'm mostly just interested in it for the comparison to RTA.
Thanks for all you do BizHawk team.

That already exists as a lua, under movieclock.lua or something along those lines. Although no “stopwatch” feature exists for it where you can make it split or stop.

Oh cool. Thanks.
I'll have to try it out. Would still be cool to see it hardcoded in, but just a suggestion.
I mostly just meant the stopwatch thing for counting up, as long as it follows the frame counter no matter what (jumping around in TAStudio) that's great.

This is probably just due to not running at full speed—enable View > Display FPS and see if the stuttering coincides with the framerate falling below 60 for a moment.

Indeed, at some stages the fps drops, yes. Is there any way I can reverse this in the BizHawk-2.9.1 settings?
Typically this isn't something you can just change some setting to fix, your PC is just not powerful enough to run the game at full speed under BizHawk.
Changing the display size to 1x could potentially help, also changing the "Display Method" (Config -> Display -> Display Method) from Direct3D9 to OpenGL might help (it might not).

I don't think the problem is my computer, I did a test with the desmume-0.9.13 emulator and all the phases ran perfectly. But I'm going to do what you told me, I'm going to change the Display Method!

Release candidate for 2.10 is out!https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/releases/tag/2.10-rc1
First candidate build for the upcoming 2.10 release. Sorry for the wait.
Please help us check for regressions, especially in TAStudio and the rest of the TASing workflow, and in Lua. Remember: if it's not reported then it won't be fixed! Report bugs here or on Discord, TASVideos, or Reddit.
2.10 includes a fully-functional Encore (Citra) and ChannelFHawk. We also have 2 new WIP cores, PUAE and Stella, as well as updated Genplus-gx and QuickNES, and regular updates for several other cores.
A changelog listing all the bugfixes and improvements will come later, but for now you can check the resolved issues and commit history.

I saw a behavior of the input display that I find a little odd, while I was playing back a bk2 on Bizhawk 2.9.1 (NES game).
Assume the movie file says
255: ^
256: ^
257: ^>
258: ^>
When advancing to 256, the input display says ^
but when advancing to 256, saving a state and loading the state, the input display will say ^>

I think we fixed something like this. Please try 2.10 RC1.
