Wow, great job Phil! The "warp through walls" mini-glitch in level 9 was brilliant :)
thx and cool

I've always wanted to write an AI capable of beating a game by itself. It's an extremely interesting problem. With the advent of emulators, it's even possible to do it now. So few hours in the day, though...
I have decided to do the same as I have done with blip FCEU. So here they are:
There should be a skip 1 frame function.
Logically, when you do an hard reset, it's not supposed to continue recording since what it is recorded after the reset is void.
Hotkeys remapping.
When your emu is paused and decide to open a movie file, it just unpause automatically. It must not do that.
The default directory for movie files is Gens one. It should be the last directory where a movie file had been loaded.
After redefining QuickLoad key and QuickSave key. F5 and F8 are always there with the new ones. So there's 2 Quicksave and 2 Quickload buttons. The Hotkeys remapping can correct that.
Take a snapshot when the emu is paused and see by yourself the result. This bug was there before Jyzero implement the rerecording function but still can be corrected.
When recording AVI and trying to overwrite an existing file that is open by another software, the emu crashes. There should be an alert that indicates that the existing file is already open. I think it exists a Win32 function for that.
When you choose name file and AVI codec before recording to AVI, there's an annoying sound. Very abnormal.
When we play a movie and the movie end, Play Movie/Resume record from savestate remains checked and we cannot start recording. We must Stop Movie.
*MAJOR BUG to be corrected urgently*
It seems it takes some delay, like ~0.10 seconds for pausing after pressing the pause button. For unpausing, it unpauses instantly or near but the blue screen still remain there for a moment. I have an AVI that show the proof of it. When recording AVI, it's not supposed to record some blue frames when the emu is paused. It should be instant and without that blue screen. The image is paused but the sound continue as a proof that the game is running while those ~0.25 seconds of blue screen. Very hard to do a perfect timeattack under theses conditions. Also it seems unstable, sometimes it pauses faster than another time.

*reads Bisqwit's post in the topic he linked to*
So...I'm not really clear on this...was it the clumsy key setup that turned you off, or were there some other problems as well?
'Cause blip just released a version with remappable keys 5 days ago...~_^
Walker: yeah we will try to have more AVI for Genesis games but right now, only Bisqwit can encode Genesis movies because the AVI recording version for Windows is in beta stage and still possible to have vid an audi in desync. So I can't help. The second reason is Bisqwit and I don't know the games on that system pretty much.
Because SM is 986343456 times greater, better, more entertaining, extremly more beautiful to watch over and over again (especially by the worlds so far greatest SM player: Samus Aran).
Bah it depends. I agree that SM is a cool game to play but to watch ..... boring especially a 100% run.
Castlevania are cool games to watch. Even Dracula X was cool to watch(not as much as the other ones) even if it's jumping always.
Those were not the unsupported files :)
It was the IGNORE_FILES setting which you can use to exclude selected files from sharing.
Use it to show your (un)support or just to prioritize your disk space.
It's true but when it is supposed to delete old files?
I have 3 versions of Frenom Super Metroid movies and they are still there. Or do I misred something?.
I'm not quite clear on that obsolete movie deleting idea, if it's what I think it is it seems a little unnecessary... usually the filenames have v2, then the new one is called v3, etc, but I guess that's not very reliable as frenom's megamanx video is labeled v3 and wodball's newest is v2. The best way right now to do it would probably be to go thorugh the movie list on the site and compare the file size, author name, and length to the different versions of the appropriate game. But anyway.
It's not a good idea because all he want is to seed without taking care of manually erasing old files, which is long and annoying like it's currently doing on my machine and didn't take the time to erase those old movies.
Ok you make me think of something that Bisqwit can create. A program that auto-delete obsoleted movies. So it will be more easier for you and probably some other people :).
When I have watched a no-hit run like Conquest of the Palace, an unpublished submission, I felt bored by watching someone always waiting or taking the time to kill monsters instead of taking damage. Today, this movie is in refused status.
I'm sure there's a first time for everything, but I can't imagine a MIDI file comparing to a CD-quality recording of actualy instruments. Is there something I can download to improve my MIDI performance?
It's true and anyway there's very few people that own one of these MIDI interfaces.
