I found some bad news that the Citra emulator is discontinued because Nintendo sued the developer of the Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu that also developed Citra for $2.4 million, and piracy is the main reason why Nintendo forced to shut down the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS emulators.

I was able to run Chromium using Snap, and once the browser opens, the movie doesn't start. It was stuck with a ltm file of one frame.

I was trying to TAS a website like a Password Game using Firefox, and as the recording started, it immediately ended with
Could not remove socket file /tmp/libTAS.socket: Operation not permitted
I tried to launch with GDB, but it said,
Trying to start a game with attached debugger, but debugger cannot be found

I'm likely going to put the Password Game into the wishlist because it was a game inside the web browser and it's recently been released.

I started to think about how BizHawk handles compatibility. However, MelonDS only runs Nintendo DS and DSi games. I could not run a GBA game into melonDS because it only has one core for GBA. For example, original Game Boy games run in GBC and GBA respectively, but how about Super Game Boy? I could not run a Game Boy game inside the Super Game Boy cartridge on SNES.

I was trying to run Puzzle Pack on the TI-83+ calculator on BizHawk, but the game crashed after there is a firmware problem (.rom or .8xk instead of .bin). The game did not load and the error code looked like

I was trying to record a BizHawk movie on the SNES with mouse support. On the SNES9x core, the mouse does nothing, not even in the virtual pad. Some games require the mouse only like the Japanese exclusive game Mario and Wario. In BSNES, I think there is mouse support.

I don't know if I can do Mario and Wario, an SNES game released in Japan only and requires a mouse. Does BizHawk support SNES mouse?

I started making TAS about this game recently. Over several mini Bowser encounters, the one shown in this image warps to a location that benefits Mario by moving near the Jungle Area place. It was warping into a somewhat helpful location once I completed the 38th quest out of 50, it also saves time. I rolled a dice that landed on an 8 at 1:14:48.60, and mini Bowser shows up at 1:14:49.47 (frames 268093 to 268145).

For TASing Flash games, well, there's already Red Ball TAS, we'll just wait for ruffle to make red ball fully playable from start to finish so we convert these inputs to libTAS then we'll wait for their permission for submission. Link to video
I was trying to open Red Ball using Ruffle, but these controls don't work yet and I'm stuck at the screen, how to update Ruffle? I was still thinking about Hourglass, as Ruffle works on x86 exe. I think it works on that emulator. I also tried Snail Bob and Snail Bob 3, but it results in a blank screen (I was using WSL2 build of Ruffle).

I tried to start a game using
ruffle -g gl (game file).swf
(Snail Bob 1 and 3), I got that command that said
[2022-04-03T06:02:21Z ERROR ruffle_core::tag_utils] Error running definition tag: PlaceObject3, got failed to fill whole buffer
I waited for a minute, but nothing happened (the screen doesn't work). I heard that Ruffle updates the app once a day, I tried to update it using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, but it doesn't update Ruffle. Maybe I should try using Ruffle in Hourglass (does Hourglass have mouse support)?

Is there a way to run HTML5 games from a browser on Hourglass/libTAS? I tried to install Ruffle, but I can't install a tar.gz file. Should I choose Windows (exe/zip) or Linux file (tar.gz/zip) to start the application?

I was having interest on planning TASes involving games used on websites (like Red Ball, Wheely, and Snail Bob). While I found some games running Flash and using SWF files, some games require a mouse to play. The same goes for HTML5 which I have to use the mouse to play a web game, like Kizi (a number of online games ranging from Red Ball all the way to Wheely 8 or Snail Bob 8.

I was trying to open a Nintendo DS ROM into Bizhawk 2.8, but I accidentally set the core to Nintendo DSi. Now, I can't change it back to Nintendo DS core because the firmware is not found. Update: Fixed that problem by editing true on DSi mode on config file to false.

Does it require Linux GUI on WSL2? I think the WSL2 I tested doesn't have GUI.

Does this kind of emulator run Linux games on Windows 10 using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 method of running the emulator on Windows?

I’ve tried running New Super Mario Bros 2 in my computer, but it only runs 5 FPS. My computer is over 8 years old with a 2 core processor.

I’ve tried to run a Sega Saturn game, but it maxed out at 45 FPS and averaging only 26 FPS.

I planned to TAS the game "Super Mario 3D Land," but I don't know about how the speed, graphics, and save states were. I think while recording the movie, 100% speed is lower than full frames. I think 30 fps as 100% speed is a great idea. Also, the save states were difficult, when I save it, I press ctrl+c and when I load it, I press ctrl+v instead of I and P respectively.
