1. I have another Dolphin build installed. Does this fork have it's own settings? Even though I see the "Sys" folder in the root directory, I hesitate to launch it. 2. Does it work for Wii Remote as well? Personal edit: 1. No, it doesn't. If you have a newer Dolphin, you will get bombed with "Trying to read an invalid SYSCONF" message boxes all the time. 2. No, it works with Gamecube games for now.
If you could edit player 2 - 4 input like this, it would be interesting.
Here are the download links for it:
4.0-4222 version: https://github.com/Tales-Carvalho/dolphin/releases/download/1.0/Dolphin_4.0-4222_Lua_TAStudio.zip
5.0 version: https://github.com/Tales-Carvalho/Dolphin-Lua-Core/releases/download/1.0/Dolphin.5.0.Lua.TAStudio.zip
This interface is based on Bizhawk's TAStudio / TAS editor tool and it's supposed to provide a method to easily edit inputs of a TAS. Doing this over DTM editing is more handy as you can see the result in real time, and reduces the work time of TASing by a lot.
There are a few notes to consider while using the tool:
* To open the TAStudio interface, go to Movie - TAStudio. Once the game is being played, the inputs grid will be populated.
* Hint: if you're using the 5.0 version and the inputs are being registered multiple times each frame, select the "Group by VI" option.
* Savestate before the region you want to modify the inputs.
* Select the inputs you want to modify in the grid. Use the buttons on the side to manipulate them (Hint: clicking with the right mouse button is a shortcut for "Toggle selected inputs").
* To manipulate stick inputs, use the TAS Input sticks at the down-right corner of the interface (the Get button gets the selected stick input from the grid, and the Set button sets the selected frame with the TAS Input stick input).
* Once you want to send the inputs to Dolphin, make sure to check the Read+Write option.
Also, we are using 4.0-4222 and 5.0 versions for the build as most of the communities still haven't migrated to newer (Qt based) development versions of Dolphin, due to instabilities and unexpected behaviors in those versions. However, we do want to port this interface to the newest development version of Dolphin eventually.
Finally, make sure to report any bug or unexpected behavior. This is the first release of this build so it's natural that there will be bugs. Oh, and feel free to suggest new features as well! I myself haven't used TAStudio in Bizhawk that much so it's hard for me to say what's missing in the interface...

The video encodes all appear to have some graphical issues (white lines during stage intros, emblem counter glitching out when counting up). However, when I play it back on my laptop (GeForce GTX 1060), I don't encounter any of these issues (I do get glitched up shadows when using anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, which is mentioned in the wiki, not to mention Dolphin normally forces 1x native resolution, else, the shadows glitch out as well). What exactly caused these issues?
Can you get over boost speed with that strat, or just up to the boost cap?
Also, does anyone have an idea of how much time can be saved on the straightaways? Most of the time working on this was spent with cornering and stuff, and long straightaways were kinda an afterthought.
THC98 are you still working on this TAS?
bumping for interest EDIT: NintendoSpy is a program that does this for non-TAS runs https://github.com/jaburns/NintendoSpy a programmer-type person might be able to make this work for TAS runs. It is possible to get the gamecube controller display for "generic pc controller" which a guy on this thread did. https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/all_controller_input_viewers_listing.html
TAS input and movie editor are two completely different things. :) So you want an input display on screen? Encode the run, then overlay it with the input display and let buttons light up and move analog stick by also reading the dtm file.
Single frame input viewers are pretty pointless, they don't give any advantage, you can't do non-linear TASing with them well. The lsnes movie editor works with normal savestates, not rewind (saving each frame like FCEUXs TAS Editor or BizHawks TAS Studio). I'm not sure if rewind would work out for GC/Wii. It should be possible to code a movie editor with savestates for Dolphin. Why do you want to do that? It's not that hard to put a new window somewhere.
