Yes.

How can you predict what memory address a game will need?

What about attempting to speed up the core too? FCEUX is so fast because it uses a separate function for every memory address for read and write, so it has to do zero checks regarding regions (and I think Nestopia too). Considering that reading is done at least every instruction, and sometimes more, and quite often it also writes, doing this stuff millions times per second with all the region checks must be causing quite some slow down.
I also tried manually inlining the opcode functions right into the switch, but that gave zero speed up.

Yeah, even though it fails to even match the existing records, it's not losing seconds, only frames here and there. So why not publish it?

Aktan: can you do a comparison that proves that what we used to do before 2012 was worse than your suggestion? We were using the factor 6 for 224p, and even back then I couldn't see a single artifact in the HD encode (before uploading of course).

This feature is not available for videos uploaded after June 2016.
We'll be doing aspect ratio correction for HD encodes ourselves again, like we've been doing until 2012. The problem is, upscaling x8 gives the smallest filesize of all upscalers for a video like 320x240. Not having integer scaling factors will cost us a huge boost in filesizes.
So we'll need to figure out the new target resolution now for anything that requires aspect correction. Arcades, handhelds, N64 and probably some others are okay though.
PS: Most of the June's encodes were fine, it all started with Amy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA7riw_jIEQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsE_LOHuSg8
And then Eek!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAD_ht35hyA
So we'll have to reencode them.
EDIT:
Replace this line (#98 in TASEncodingPackage, #109 in TASEncodingPackage2) in the encoding script
Language: avisynth
c = handheld ? b : (hd ? b : b.LanczosResize(width, height, taps=2))
with
Language: avisynth
c = handheld ? b : b.LanczosResize(width, height, taps=2)
If you don't want to be upscaling using the usual factor 8, which generates insane overhead in file size and encoding speed due to aspect ratio correction, you can use the following formula, that we were using back then, for anything that's not 4:3 (line 51 in TEP, 71 in TEP2).

Clone: c Delete: d Clear: x -- Done, along with Insert. Configure in hotkeys.
Cancel actions: Esc (stops seeking, exit analog editing) -- Analog editing was already canceled by Esc. Added cancel seeking.
Rewind: q -- Global rewind now works
Enter Analog edit and cycle through: e (Pressing e causes entering editing the analog input for the first visible analog column for the current selection, if multiple frames are selected edit input for all selected frames. If already in analog edit mode go to the next analog column when e is pressed once more) -- Whenever I'm totally free.
Toggle auto-restore: s -- Done for all 3. Configure in hotkeys.
Restore last position: a -- Middle-click
Update the build!
Next:
- option to fire restore after mousedown -- Done, doesn't affect rerecords at all.
- esoteric frame 203000 problem

Are you kidding? It proves that I wasn't casting a shade by linking that damn article. How many times I have to repeat that?

I fail to see what your fighting against. I stated my thoughts about the article I linked, I replied to the accusation in casting a shade to the scientific method by linking it. I quoted wikipedia to show that the linked article doesn't cast such a shade, but instead it proves that science is fluid, and all I still keep reading is ungrounded personal accusations one after another. What are you truing to accomplish?

It is, since it reveals some of the aspects of how science appears to be working, to those who aren't satisfied with reading what's written about it in this thread alone and discussing it based on that.

Woah, statistics indeed can hurt to the point of throwing ungrounded personal accusations.
Now I'll say what I feel about the link I posted. People tend to rely on some things to the point when they start believing in them. That's how human works, we can't always verify everything. So to simplify our lives, we do assumption ("secure beliefs"). And if they become absolutely indisputable for some people, that's wrong, because we don't have absolutely doubtless info about this world, since even facts can be taken wrong (as we have seen above), let alone their description, and how that description is conceived.
Does what I say "hurt" the scientific team or cast a shade on the scientific method? In no way.
Wikipedia wrote:
The scientific method – the method wherein inquiry regards itself as fallible and purposely tests itself and criticizes, corrects, and improves itself.
The scientific method is based on being unafraid of errors, but only in order to fix them.
Wikipedia wrote:
An example of a currently accepted paradigm would be the standard model of physics. The scientific method allows for orthodox scientific investigations into phenomena that might contradict or disprove the standard model; however grant funding would be proportionately more difficult to obtain for such experiments, depending on the degree of deviation from the accepted standard model theory the experiment would test for.
The result of these contradicting investigations, if they succeed, is this:
Thomas Kuhn wrote:
the successive transition from one paradigm to another via revolution is the usual developmental pattern of mature science.
Perhaps the greatest barrier to a paradigm shift, in some cases, is the reality of paradigm paralysis: the inability or refusal to see beyond the current models of thinking.
All in all, there's no development if mistakes are not recognized or are not going to be fixed. Having them is okay though. No knowledge can be absolutely indisputable. This is not an attempt to "prove" that scientific knowledge is disputable, and religious is not. Both should be based on experience only. The sphere of experience is different for those, and one can not be considered superior to another. Whoever claims that either one is superior, stops evolving.

So far using the latest build with auto-save disabled I've gotten the more common error only 2 or 3 times after a couple hours of TASing(the one that previously consistently happened every 5-10 minutes), and the other errors are yet to occur.
I doubt it's related to my updates. I'll need a repro method, can't see clearly what goes wrong from the call stack. Another reliable way would be if you install some free version of VS and have it running in a debug mode. So when it crashes, you could just printscreen the most recent functions from the callstack :D

I see. But have you tried autosave itself, or you can't still get it working?

They refer to autosaved files. And autosave happens if the interval is above zero. The folder is the same as your project's. I might add an option to fire backup per usual save too, but what would be the difference, if it gets corrupted at that step, they will be both corrupted.

adelikat yay the hero is dead
adelikat he stripped, then critical hit himself, for the noblest of all causes, saving them frames
Warepire adelikat: His sacrifice will be duly noted. He's in the golden hall now.
Invariel I'm really glad you have an outlet, adelikat; you seem to like convincing people to commit suicide "for the cause".
Warepire imagines adelikat working at a suicide prevention hotline.
Invariel The Hero in Dragon Warrior, there was an escape pod in Star Trek, most of a family in Oregon Trail, ...
adelikat wow, this is true
adelikat I have had a trend lately
Warepire Invariel: My joke was too dark?
fsvgm777 Most of a family in Oregon Trail from dysentery, I might add.
Invariel Warepire: Not at all.
Warepire likes this channel, no one freaks out over such jokes
adelikat caller: "I'm thinking about ending it all"
adelikat adelikat: "How much time would it save?"
Warepire boss: "adelikat, can I talk to you about your performance?"
Warepire adelikat: "Has there been any complaints?"
Warepire boss: "No, not ... exactly..."
adelikat lol

This will eventually be done, but doesn't look like soon, since it requires touching the most dangerous part of tastudio - tas state manager.
Otherwise, how does putting markers as keys work? Does it reliably keep the states that are before markers after greenzone tail runs past it?
