I found a way to run bizhawk on android. I recommend using a keyboard or gamepad for comfort. It would be pretty uncomfortable to use with the all touch controls.
First install winlator 6.0
open the app
create container with default settings
tap the 3 dots next to the container and Run
start-system tools-wine mono installer
start bizhawk
Unfortunately. not everything works.
What does work is: opening any non-waterbox core like mgba and mupen64.
Record/play movie
rewind
gamepad(although if you have it connected before starting the program, it will crash) so connect it once bizhawk is open
Hotkey config works
Game controller config works
Avi record works(it has to be uncompressed... nothing else works..) Syncless recording works though.
Frame advance works.
So yeah, somewhat limited. And much slower than on computer..

Did some testing around, and destroy all humans 1 and 2 work. So thats nice. Currently I cant find a complete playthrough of that anywhere.
I dont know how to use the tas tools though..

What would it change?
The devs wouldn't need to sit in front of their computer all day waiting for a message. Unless they have some way to be notified.
[edit] to add to that, I also wouldn't know if any issues was already reported. It would be hard to tell what changes were made. No pull requests can be done. Just to name a few.

I believe midnight club 2 pc is single threaded given how old it is.
I would assume single threaded games would work better with this?
This sounds too good to be true if this works out.

I'm thinking about helping with getting other systems emulated by mame supported.
I have programming experience with .net although
I have not done anything with it since like 2012.
What goes into doing something like that?

There is an improvement that can be made: push C3PO with a faster character. C3PO moves slow, but you can push him. Its a tas-only trick and its not as hard as it looks. But it can be hard to set up fast.

Cool joke. I didn't know there exist a flash game of uncharted 2.
Unlike most other April fool jokes, this one wouldn't be rejected. I enjoyed the run. Makes me more curious about other flash games.

Are you interested in doing a no save corruption tas? I attempted one before this glitch was discovered, and movement was pretty hard to optimize. I just tried to avoid hitting walls. And some of the mini games were entertaining to watch.

I tested sonic adventure on latest build and now that works.
Need for speed carbon still has a black screen for some reason. I haven't experienced crashes on the linux side.

Alrighty. Everything is fixed on the linux side of things. Game loads, rewind works, record movie works and video dumping does too!
Even with rewind enabled, it still runs pretty good. Rewinding is pretty slow but I guess that's expected with something like this.
Thanks for putting this together!
