well, I think I have an idea and everyone's already ahead of me on it. That's something. Actually, you know, if there was some custom or otherwise modified video format or additional file that adds in the same technical information that input files do, is there a chance that can be used to verify a movie?

I've said it before, I'm no TASer (my only TAS would probably be of Wheel of Fortune. It's up on youtube and it's not very good.) but I see a way around all this nonsense. First, I notice that TASing seems to always require saved input. If you want to TAS something that this doesn't seem to work with, I have a suggestion, though I can already tell it's going to be rejected. Perhaps emulators should be designed with avi rerecording in mind? Of course, because of how much this takes, you'd probably have to do everything in one shot regardless, and you'd need the space, but I think you'd be able to make recordings of all sorts of bizarre things with only avi recording and savestate capabilities if there was just a way to record the actual video rather than just the input. There'd be some drawbacks, but you'd at least get videos out of something that was otherwise impossible up to that point... IF my suggestion is possible in some way.

You know, I skimmed through this a few times and i'm appalled at the lack of thought put into things. For one, FBA supports comparitively few games to MAME. Secondly, FBA also has games with savestate problems just like MAME. Complaining that MAME doesn't support savestates for some games is a bit of an invalid argument when it happens in both emulators. On the same subject, I don't do TASes, but I have noticed several games (Cave games, I think) desync at random, making even regular recording frustrating. I don't suppose you can say anything about that either. In any case, I'd much prefer MAME over FBA if anything. Seriously. There's barely anything to do within FBA. Do an emulator that does a good majority of games.
