OK, I can start the MarIO script and get a dialog window named Fitness.
When I hit the restart btn, I get an 'unhandled exception' A .Net exception occured in user code'
LuaInterface.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:829: A .NET exception occured in user-code
This will be fixed in Version 1.10.0

Since MarI/O is using BizHawk, and we will get questions about it, this thread is meant to be a catch-all thread for issues.

Please use pastebin or something similar to link to your scripts instead of pasting whole near-thousand-line scripts. You are making topics practically unreadable otherwise.
FAQ and Common Problems:
Q: Why does the script say, "Loadstate error" constantly?
A1: This is due to how the script asks for the path. Your savestate should be in the same folder as the BizHawk exe file.
A2: The save state from the prepackaged archive is meant for the Performance Core of BSNES not the Compatibility core. A future version of BizHawk will notify you more clearly on this issue. Please make sure your save state is for the right core.
Q: Where can I get the Emulator and other files?
A: http://fceux.com/mario-evolve.zip
Q: How do I run this?
A: http://pastebin.com/NbeiibxT
Q: I get the error message: "LuaInterface.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:829: A .NET exception occured in user-code" How do I fix this?
A: Use BizHawk 1.10.0
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bizhawk/files/BizHawk/BizHawk-1.10.0.zip/download
Q: My RAM Usage is out of control!
A: This has been corrected in 1.10.0 of BizHawk.
Q: When I try and run the script I get a message about "Value cannot be null" and it mentions BitmapBuffer.
A: This is due to you running BizHawk in GDI+ mode.
Q: How do I get BizHawk into OpenGL Mode?
A: Start BizHawk. Go to Config then Click on Display. Display Configuration should appear. Select the Display Mode Tab. Click on the Circle that says OpenGL and restart BizHawk.
Q: I did try and get BizHawk into OpenGL mode but it reverted back to GDI+. What's wrong?
A: Your video card doesn't support OpenGL 2.0 That means your video card needs newer drivers or you need a better video card. If you are trying to run BizHawk in a Virtual Machine, Some Virtual Machines do not support OpenGL 2.0

Whenever I try to load a savestate, it always crashes with this crash report:
"LuaInterface.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:829: A .NET exception occured in user-code"
This is the code:
829: savestate.load("SMB1-1.state");
I've got no clue what I'm doing wrong...
It may be due to how LUA references the path to the state. If I remember correctly, it needs to be in the root folder. Your state should be in BizHawk. Not BizHawk\neatEvolve
See if that fixes it.

The movie played for me.
Zelda no Densetsu - Toki no Ocarina (Japan)
Rom Hashes:

Hashes for Rev A and Rev B

I did not test it against Rev A or Rev B. That may be the issue?

I did find a small graphical issue starting out.
The Pistol's "Clip" or whatever the green bar is, graphics are improperly rendered. It's supposed to have gaps, it's one block of green. Right shape and behavior but wrong appearance.
Also, in the pause menu, the textures for each button are wrong unless you use Glide64mk2.
I haven't gotten past Goldwood (first planet).
I am just doing a casual run through to make sure it's working right. And to find issues.

I did this:
I went to http://bsfree.org/index.php?s=18&d=8&g=9609&c=31628
I wanted to use Rainbow Blood Always On (Works Even If Cheat Not Earned) since it shows up very clearly and easily.
So I went into Cheats and entered a name (Rainbow Blood)
I set the Domain to RDRAM
Size, 2 byes
Display as Hex
Big Endian not enabled
Address:
0A5080
Value:
0001
And it works.

I am looking at the list here:
http://www.cheatcc.com/n64/jetf_gemini.html
And the page has Gameshark codes. But, BizHawk doesn't have an "Insert Gameshark code here" function. So I wanted to ask, how do I get those codes into BizHawk and get them working?

I was actually messing around with this game in 1.9.4 and didn't notice any problems. The game emulated really well but I also didn't play through the entire game.
But as far as I can tell, it seems to work well on the current version of Bizhawk.
Have you done any Floyd missions yet? I heard recently that Emulators may have issues with that by not showing a HUD/Crosshairs during them.

I wanted to bump this again.
The current WR is around 3:33
I have seen the Japanese version (Star Twins) being used in RTA. I think the Japanese version is used for faster text.
If I manage to find the WR RTA, I will link to it.
Some questions:
Has anyone tried a casual run through on newer Bizhawk (1.9.4)? Are there any issues with graphics?
Would rainbow blood be allowed as a Speed/Entertainment tradeoff (when it's possible to enable it)?

So our hero, went to a graveyard, played an instrument, then he entered into a strange place where there was no logic. A fire spoke to our hero. Then the fire changed into something and held up a triangle. The hero did the same. The day was saved. Somehow...

So BSNES and BizHawk do this:
Mega Man X2/3 requests that special function (Trigonometry?)
The Emulator, then passes that function to the Enhancement ROM file.
The Enhancement ROM does it's thing
The Emulator takes the output from the Enhancement ROM file and passes it back to Mega Man X2/3 and then keeps going doing it's thing.
Does that sound right? I think it does sound about right to me at least.

I will assume that in the Genesis case, the SVP chip is emulated on a high-level. While in the SNES case the chips are emulated on a low-level.
The difference here is that high-level simulates the chips operations as a black box. Data X goes in, therefor we should give back result Y. The results are usually correct, but the timing may be completely wrong.
Low-level on the other hand actually simulates the tiny computation unit inside the chip, and executes the instructions from the ROM, to yield the result instead, while doing it in the amount of time it was supposed to.
In other words, there's no BSNES equivalent of Gens. I wish Genesis emulation was a bit more geared to faithful recreation of the system rather than the quick-and-dirty let's go now that it is now.
I wish Genesis emulation was more accurate as well.

I wanted to ask, why does Bizhawk and other more accurate emulators, require the enhancement chip ROM files for running those enhanced games (Mega Man X 2/3, Pilotwings, Super Mario Kart, ect.) while the only real "enhancement" chip for the Genesis (per say) was the SVP chip (Virtua Racing) but there is no requirement for an SVP ROM file. What is the difference here?
I am NOT asking for ROMs. I am asking, Why these ROMs must be used. It's from a legal and technical standpoint, I am looking for.

Due to the A/B behaviors, shouldn't a run have it's A and B parts as one movie file and be judged on that as a whole?
The other question I have is, Who's A/B should be done? Are the different A/B runs to be considered "Different" or "The Same"? Is Leon A/Claire B the same as Claire A/Leon B?
The Last Survivor and Tofu are different and separate.

The "Ending" is triggered when you take the charge (The Red Stick) and place it at a particular point in the map (I think) then the player reaches a point on the map that triggers the ending.

I wanted to ask why you took damage some times. I can't remember the exact times you did. But watching the Longplay, combat is a SLOW ass thing in later parts of the game.
