Nbarnes: Are you sure you got the correct ROM?
No.

That's the most common reason for desync. You can check your exact version with a program called GoodGen (I think).
GoodGen got me the data I needed. The codes list eventually told me that I had a European Gunstar ROM. A terribly minor amount of effort later and I had a US ROM and... works perfectly. Thanks for the tipoff.

What exactly doesn't work about it? It played back perfectly fine in Gens 9 for me... (And I just checked now and it still seems fine, at least for the first several levels.)
Hm. I spent some time checking my settings as Bag suggested, but I'm not getting anywhere. I tried using the .gmv cooked using the conversion tool Jyzero mentions in the Gens_movie thread; I cooked it into both 3 and 6 button formats (and reconfigured Gens appropriately in both cases) and got the same desync in both cases (first slide after the first jump in stage 1 hits an enemy, things get worse from there). I played with the sound settings like the Gens_movie readme suggests as well, no differnce in desync. Being the noob, I'm out of ideas. What settings are you using, such that it works for you?

Maybe an AVI should be made of this movie though, now that there are newer codecs better able to handle all the motion (and apparently nobody working on an improvement to this run).
The commands appear to be desynced from the action of the game, the character is unresponsive to performing slides against a wall or suchlike. Could be that I have a subtlely different Gunstar Heroes ROM dump. I'm noob to this particular application of emulation, so I'm not sure what to say beyond that.

I was unable to get the playback to work in Gens. From the notes on the playback file, I think it was made with Gens movie 6, which I was unable to obtain. I got Gens 9, no worky; I got the tool that is supposed to update Gens movie <9 playback files and used it, still no worky. *shrug* Great game, though. ;)
