This is getting weirder ... when I playback my movie in non read-only mode, loading a savestate should initiate a re-record. However, when I load the savestate Mupen actually plays back the movie using the input from the beginning, but inserting it into the savestate.
For example, if in the very beginning I press the start button rapidly to skip cutscenes, and my current savestate is in the middle of a heated battle, when I load the savestate in non read-only mode, instead of re-recording it will show me pressing start rapidly in the middle of the heated battle.
Anybody encounter this problem before or know of a solution?
EDIT: Another major problem: while I'm making the movie, if I save and load states frequently, Mupen will just stop recording. This has never happened in Snes9x or VBA or any other emulator I've used.

Well I can say for sure that gauntlet legends and Rogue squadron don't work very well at all.
DK64 works on PJ64, but not Mupen.
The turok games also run pretty good.

What about Doom 64? Although it is not exactly a PC port as comicalflop mentions, it still retains many components of the original game such as graphical styles and game engine.
I tried my hand at it, but the hardest difficulty is a complete nightmare. I keep getting hit and I don't where they're coming from.

I guess I'll just have to rewatch the WIP frequently to check for desynchs ... sorry for derailing this thread, but nobody seems to browse the Mupen forum.

Well actually I want to re-record, but loading a savestate only causes a desynch.
Now I've narrowed the culprit down to two possibilities:
1) I'm recording the movie from a snapshot, and I load a different savestate after the initial snapshot.
2) I'm using the wrong input plugin. Every movie that's desynched for me was made with NRage's plugin, while I made some movies with Jabo today and they worked fine.
Which one of those sounds more correct?

A general question: when you record, do you have to press "stop recording" before making the savestate? It seems like every time I open a movie in non-read-only mode and load a savestate it causes a desynch instead of re-recording.

I always thought SDA's golden rule was to start timing when player gains control of the character and stops timing at the very end of losing character control, thus counting the level fadeouts and scorecount in between.

I think what he was trying to say was why didn't Mario run onto the stairs first and then BLJ, instead of BLJing right after coming out the second floor door.
