As you said, it can playback successfully now. But there are still some problems. When I record, it's normal. But when playback, "Enable Progressive Scan" changes to on, and "DSP LLE recompiler" changes to "DSP HLE emulation" by itself. So my movie desyncs. How to avoid these problems?
The SiteLicense page could use a few English corrections. The second heading should be "Rationale", not "Rational". And the Ramifications section has odd wording. I'd fix it like so: "It is important to note that the site license is the same as, or similar to, ones used by many other sites. If TASVideos used a more restrictive license, we'd be unable to, for example, upload videos to YouTube, which offers to host videos under the same Creative Commons license or under one very similar to it. With such unencumbered licensing, we are able to publish videos submitted here to YouTube and many others for hosting."

I actually just tried to do that memory card save idea, but it doesn't work (well, fully anyway), cause you have to create a file on the memory card itself. My idea could still work, but it requires the player to:
1. Start the emulator and RE4 with memory card inserted
2. When the prompt pops up, create the save data
3. Close emulator, and disable memory card
4. Run my dtm file, and somewhere during playback, insert memory card
This is technically allowed by TASvideos, cause I could just create a 3 second dtm to create the memory card, so I guess this would be a "continues from saves" category. And Rog, so far 3.0-371 syncs with 3.0, and Ijust assumed most people would use official releases instead of developer revisions. If you can/want to import the disc swap feature at a later time that would be fantastic, but I still got quite a ways to go. But inserting a memory card during playback doesn't seem to cause desyncs.
Seriously? It syncs with 3.0? That is...interesting. Regardless, there is no need to make sure it syncs with 3.0. 3.0 is terrible, and you should just pretend it doesn't exist. Memory card changes are not recorded, by the way. Just let me know when you need the disc change, and i'll get you a build with it.
Also, i no longer go by the name rog, so if you could not call me that anymore, i'd really appreciate it!

Are you using the dolphin revisions with Disk swapping support? It'll be quite annoying (for you) if it wasn't done on said revisions. :o
Anyway, love how you headshot everything at the last part. Nice work!
I'm using an unofficial version; 3.0-371, cause it has the playback from savestate fix in it. Although the official 3.0 release doesn't have that feature, I just want to make sure it syncs with the official 3.0 version. I don't think the revision I am using has the disc-swap feature. I was planning at the end of disc 1 to just create a save file, and load the save under a new .dtm. And I won't use the 3.5 release of Dolphin because it causes graphical errors in this game.
EDIT: I realized a problem with my idea to make a save file, cause at the beginning of my TAS I skipped the "do you want to insert a memory card" screen. So let's say I get to the end of disc1. Is it allowed for the player (me or whoever) to just go into the Config->Gamecube settings and say "insert memorycard" mid playthrough?
Nothing but 3.0 will sync on 3.0. Sync changes every other revision.
As for disc swapping, i already stated that i could backport that feature to the version you are using.

Syncs fine with the build provided. Good luck encoding it though, since i don't have the source for it anymore (actually it probably syncs fine with this, but not sure).
It's not bad overall. Most of the things i mentioned before don't really cost that much time. And someone who hasn't tased this game before is not likely to even notice. I would not object to publishing this, but i would love to see an improvement.

Just finished watching 1-2, and...i don't like what i see at all. It's very obvious this was done without ram watch. You frequently run down slopes that should be jumped over, or jump overs ones you should not. You held the beams all the right right when it is fastest to just put them one tick to the right, etc.
I'm glad to see people tasing with dolphin, but it's a shame to see this submitted when it could be a lot better.

Oh, yeah, sorry, i should have mentioned that it won't switch the memory card right away. I'm glad you got it working.
Also, if you could not call me rog anymore, i'd appreciate that!

What's the revision number of the build you're using? It's listed in the about menu towards the top.
And yes you can use a hex editor. Just set the second byte to 0x20 (32 in decimal).

http://pastie.org/5628393 should do what you need. You'll have to hex the movie though, since it doesn't record mc changes. It'll be bit 6 of the second byte of the controller data. I can compile a build for you if you need, just let me know if you need 32 or 64 bit. Keep in mind, you're movie will be unplayable without this patch (or i guess someone could just manually connect the mc during the credits, but who wants to do that?).

Oh.. Is it not possible to hex the start to include a memory card? If not, i can hack something up for you, but if you can hex it, that'd be the best option.
Also, next time don't start a tas without planning everything out, and testing the route!
