Thanks all. Sorry, I did look around before asking and found some things about MAME but not MESS, and most of that was outdated anyway. Figured it was worth asking. I haven't heard of re-recording before. That certainly sounds like a useful feature, but I don't think it'd be 100% required. It'd just take a really freaking long time to build the later parts of the run without it. Hex editing has crossed my mind but the files aren't in a friendly format at all. I guess I'll poke around the source code some more to see if I can learn more about their format and do it that way then.

Hey hey. I'm interested in starting a TAS run of a few games for the Philips CD-I. It's a notoriously bad system, and emulators are few and far between, but MESS seems to work and supports at least one of the games I want to try. I'm aware that MESS has a built-in system to record and playback inputs (to/from a *.inp file), but I can't find any way to edit the file to optimise the run. Does anyone know if its' possible to do so? Or, I might be coming about this all from the wrong angle, I have no idea. Any pointers would be great. :)
