Hey everybody, this is my first post here. A few of you may know me from SDA (I don't know how much the two communities overlap), but for everyone else - Hello, I'm a speedrunner making my first TAS!
I wasn't sure if this should go in the game specific subforum or this one, but as my issue presently pertains to what might be an emulator bug I settled on posting here first. Please move this to the other forum if that was the correct answer.
The game I am trying to TAS is Eliminator Boat Duel. I ultimately plan to run this game, but since there is no TAS of it that I'm aware of, and nobody seems to have a clue how to route it, I thought a TAS would be fun and beneficial. Unfortunately, I'm less than 2000 frames in and I seem to have hit an emulator bug.
The game has a few different modes, the start / finish line, chase cam, and overhead. I got to the first overhead section and found that the UI was just straight up missing. In other emulators, and obviously the cartridge, it's where it should be. But here is what I get out of BizHawk:
Here is approximately what it should look like (one of the integers is missing I believe due to sprite-flicker) - screenshot is from a video of NEStopia, but you should get the idea:
I have BizHawk set to the TAS accuracy profile. I'm not sure what else could be going wrong here... all the other modes looked normal. As you can see the timer, boat damage information, and nitro count are all MIA when emulated in BizHawk - and I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks all!
Sorry, I'm brand new at this - if it's now NOT using the quicknes core then what core is it using? (A short video I made with this setting reported it as NesHAWK?) What's the difference?
Also am I screwed on the movie that I started using the quicknes core or can I scrape those inputs and put them into a new movie?
If QuickNES isn't the default I don't even know htf I turned it on. Sorry I'm sure this is all noob stuff, but I appreciate the assistance.
