That way you can then create pseudo windback features.
FM2 (and many emulators) store per-frame input information, including lag frames, so if I detect each frame then perhaps sync would be easier.
1. Some games are fine, always 1 latch-per-frame (SMB,). Easy to sync. 2. Some games are fine, always 2 latch-per-frame (Tetris, other games using PCM). Easy to sync.
Ideally, a movie format that stores the input per latch cycle rather than per frame would work better for playback and eliminate all of these issues as well as allow intraframe input changes.
I was thinking of making a vsync detector circuit so I don't have to care about any of this frame bullshit, I just read out the input file. A human can see the screen, so is it cheating if the replay device does too?
Downloaded Dolphin 4.0 today. Mega Man 9 works fine with dual core enabled, but disabling it (to TAS) force closes dolphin as soon as it starts with no error message.
I cannot recommend MP3 for anything. Not only is it inefficient, but VBR in an AVI (common for old encodes) is unsupported and buggy.
I don't feel too good about OGG either.
I would suggest either AAC or Opus. Both have very similar quality/bitrate ratio, slightly favoring Opus.
For both AAC and Opus, 64kbps per channel is very good quality, and 96kbps is audibly lossless to my semi-audiophile ears.
Would it be possible to run a PS3 game in other OS with tools?
Anyway implementing reset emulation is not possible without loosing backward compatibility (or I am wrong?)
Currently, the .dsm files become very large quite quickly in terms of file size. This wouldn't be a problem, except the site only accepts WIPs less than 4MB.
Remember, TASes are supposed to be super-human, if the game accepts the input, then it's all fair to me.
Are you going to provide actual "real" mouse movement. For example, say point A is on the left of my screen, Point B in the Middle , point C on the right. For me to get from Point A to point C, it is required to go to point B. My thought is, all TAS's would be invalid if you're able to go from point A without actually having to move towards Point B, before Point C; and can just go straight to Point C.
Ilari: Do you think we should hold off to libopus-1.1 release? Any idea when that will be? Or is the beta fine?

Interesting how short lived the other two 'empty workbench' were. However, a more relevant datapoint would be the longest/average/variance of the time between two submissions?
Though, I'm curious how long the queue was empty the other two times it happened. Any veterans happen to know how long it stayed empty back then?
Is there a way to get a whole memory-dump in lua? I did not find anything like it in the doc. Without the memory-dump, I can stop the whole thing immediately, since there would be no way to detect equal states (that have been reached on two different ways).
I think I'm missing something here, do you have 6 different .fm2 files or 1? either way, how would you get it to work?
Just a quick question, would it be possible to do ALL the main megaman games eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10? Not sure if different emulators would mean it was impossible.
Don't be ridiculous, there HAS to be an explanation. Framerate isn't something arbitrary that is changed on a whim!
Assuming the framerate for this movie is correct, the issue remains. Why is the old movie still showing the wrong time? Are there other publications affected by this framerate issue?
You have an alternate ending you want to offer? Great, we'll have an alternate movie in the same published movie.
Is Black 2 or White 2 preferred?
Alright. I guess my question here would be, how would I convert a 256x224 video to 2048x1796 using VirtualDub? Again, I am a complete newbie at this. In fact, I do not understand much of the terminology you have used (such as "point scaling".
