I combined my patch, Dehacked's patch and FabianX's patch and updated the instructions at the
ConvertingSMVToAVIInLinux page.
The patch now has these features, when compared to the standard WIP-1.43 version:
- display frame numbers (hotkey and commandline option)
- toggle movie recording state
- display pressed keys (hotkey and commandline option)
- display movie info (commandline option)
- skip number of frames
- automatically start playing a movie (commandline option)
- automatically quit emulator after given number frames (commandline option)
- movie recording asks for number of players
- movie recording asks whether reset / savestate is wanted
- movie recording allows cancelling
- video stream writing to a pipe (commandline option)
- audio stream writing to a pipe (commandline option)
- emulator no longer gets confused (speedwise) from pausing
Also Dehacked's patch concerning joystick buttons was incorporated.
The audio/video stream recording option allows for a shell command where the audio/video data will be piped to. The defaults are set as to write raw audio to s.log and ffv1-compressed lossless video to test0.avi - but it will not be done unless activated.

There is no manual configuration of keys except for editing the source code in this version.
Lunar Ball is one of my favourite Famicom / NES games.
It's a Billiard type game with 60 different boards and adjustable friction settings.
I used Famtasia and made a small demo of it - first 3 levels. I aimed for minimizing the aiming time.
https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/bisqwit-lunarball-incomplete.zip
The ROM is "Lunar Ball (J).nes". There's also an USA and an European version of this game, called Lunar Pool, but I used the Japanese version because I previously know it by that name from the pirate multigame carts.
What would you think of this game in timeattack perspective?
