Ok I looked into compiling Bizhawk so now I can test the latest build for bugs.
outdated About info
When opening Help > About, it brings up that one joke screen with flashy animations. In the top left corner is a "BizBox" button (for some reason) which brings up a real About window. But that window tells it's 1.11.4 from December 20 2015.

The emulator crashed when I attempted to save a tasproj file, and now the file's corrupted. Is there anyway to save it, or just rely on my memory and hope I still remember the route?
Try opening the TASProj file in 7-Zip. Look for Input Log.txt

Games with a Kill Screen are considered a "Game Over" screen. Or an end of game.
I think most MMORPGs would be "TAS-Proof" since they rely on communication with a server. Yes, you could use external tools like bots to play the game, but that's not allowed by the game's own TOS. And, emulated servers are not perfect/accurate.

Occasionally I see users come onto #bizhawk looking for help. Usually from the Web IRC client.
Here's how to get help when using #bizhawk
Join the channel. That's pretty simple.
Ask a question that matters. Something like, "Is anyone here?" Is not useful. Something like, "bizHawk gives me an error message when I do..." Is better.
Give as many details as you can. What version(s) have this problem? Have you updated your BizHawk lately? What ROM(s) cause this problem? Have you verified they are good dumps? What Core(s) have this problem?
Remember, that most of the time, people on #bizhawk are idling. But asking a useful question and waiting for an answer, will help you get a good reply instead of frustration.
Be patient when using the IRC chat. We aren't always around to answer questions. But asking a good question and waiting, will get you better results.

I haven't worked on my TAS in months, but when I get back to it, I have all the notes so I can keep working on it and making it perfect. Time is not a factor. Effort is. Don't feel obligated to work on a TAS daily. It may cause you problems not solutions.
Your results may vary.

Ok, so I figured out how to make mame work in Bizhawk, yeah , cothreads were a pain in the ass , but now is solved in my svn repository.
When I find the instructions to upload my version to your repository you will have Mame working...ha ha ha
If you want to show us something real, link to your repository. Or show us where you forked BizHawk's code base on GitHub and made the changes, otherwise I doubt you did anything you said. This is because we don't want untested and unknown developers throwing code at the repository just because they say they can or did do something.

So long as the TAS plays back properly, and it follows the site's rules, you are fine.
The Analog Functions on the Virtual Pad, is a confirmed issue. It appears to be an issue with the right analog stick's Maximum and Minimum numeric Up and Down values.

Oh, i almost forgot, since i cant fit all my problems on the title, i have another thing
The cheats needs a better handling, i tried to convert a gameshark code to use it with a PSX game, but goes like its not completed
Example:
Driver 2 (NTSX) v1.1 - Can exit from the car anytime
D0055B7C 000A
80055B7E 1000
Convering them will result to this:
D0055B7C 000A
80055B7E 0000
The cheats cant go more than 00FF at the end, this should be fixed
I made the code converter for BizHawk. I will look into this issue with those cheats later today (3/18). Do you know if those cheats work in other emulators? That is what I would want tested first. Do you know if the Disc works in other emulators?

Hi guys!
I just have downloaded an svn update of the BizHawk 1.11.6 and compiling in Visual Studio works ok when selecting x86 , but when trying to compile in x64 compiling triggers an exception in library slimDX.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
Not a bug, BizHawk does not support x64 building.
I believe that a 64 Bit Version will be released, at some point in time in the future. But, don't count on it happening.

link and epona appear around frame 600 and the scene is approximately 50x more complex. but you say it's a blank frame? If you got to 600 with a lag counter of ~600, then game is malfunctioning. It should stop at 73.
Solution: you have a garbage rom which is doing nothing for 600 frames and then going nuts. Find a rom that's not garbage.
To Confirm the ROM you are using is bad, note the Bottom Left of BizHawk. Does it show a Green Check Mark? Then it's a good ROM. If it's a Question Mark, it's unknown or possibly bad ROM.

The roms I've tried come up as Unknown Rom, whereas SNES roms (for example), almost always come up as verified good dumps. Does Bizhawk have a list of good c64 roms (and their checksums), as it does for other formats?
That is due to the Game Database not existing for Commodore 64. I would probably be the one to generate a full Game Database and Hash list for all ROMs using a known proper/clean set. Though it would be delayed until the next release. Though Intrim builds should have it, when I get it done.

It's already configured, no need to be snarky. The emulator has that feature disabled for Sega CD and it doesn't look like you can enable it like with other cores, so I was asking if it was possible to do so through some method unknown to me.
The issue is how big the Sega CD Savestates are. That is why rewind was disabled.

Gravity Falls is quite good. It starts a little slow then things got crazy (good fun).
"Fighting children is boring. Fighting a Chaos God sounds like fun!"
Archer is NOT for children, but the jokes are mostly verbal. And quite humorous.
Rick and Morty is ABSOLUTELY NOT for Children. It's humor is based on playing with science and being fast and semi-loose with it.

Did you install it to Program Files? That would probably cause this issue.
