Please define 'glitching' in this case. What exactly happens?

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Make sure you've read the author's submission comments (linked in the publications) which detail the emulator version in which the movie is supposed to be played. Use that specific emulator version. More info can be obtained by looking at "Emulators" section of this website.

Are we talking about the emulator glitching here? Or the game? If it's the game, it is possibly a good thing.

How could you be so delusional not to understand that others don't know the specifics of your problem? Put yourselves in our shoes. How are we supposed to help you solve your problem if we don't know exactly what your problem is? Specifically, what emulator (and version) are you using? What game are you playing? What actions did you take specifically? If you don't tell us vital information like that, we can't help you find solutions. In general, when talking about something and using pronouns like "it", you must first define "it". This is something that should have been learned in infancy. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand how you missed this seemingly-automatic lesson in life. Edit: Okay. I'm sorry for the above. My best advice is this: Put your emotions aside for now. We all know that losing hard work to desynchronization glitches sucks, but you'll have to ignore the anger and frustration that event generated so you can figure out how avoid the same loss occurring in the future. While you are in this calmer state, you can figure out the cause of the problem much more easily. Focus on details which would relate to the cause of this problem, like, 1, the emulator version you're using and, 2, the things which have changed between the time you recorded the input and the time you played it back. Older emulators have had synchronization issues, which have generally been fixed with more recent versions. There is a very helpful article on this site which should explain this much better than I can: http://tasvideos.org/DesyncHelpTAS.html I recommend reading that entire page. It's possible that the specific problem you've had is there. It has good reminders for what can prevent desynchronization.

Considering the post content is displayed larger and more clearly visible than the subject, I recommend posting your message in the post itself, rather than in the subject tag and posting "read subject". This makes it easier for us to read your posts.

Most emulators do not support rerecording (the ability to use savestates while recording a movie), and are also not made with the frequent use of savestates and movie playback in mind. This means that the normal versions of many emulators are not suitable for making tool-assisted speedruns. We therefore use special rerecording versions of the emulators. The list of the recommended TASing emulators can be found here: http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources.html If you look at the snes9x section, you will see that there are two rerecording branches of snes9x: 1.43-rr and 1.51-rr (oh, seems there is 1.52-rr too). Notice the -rr part there. That is for rerecording. You should get the most recent emulator from each of the 1.43-rr and 1.5x-rr branches. You need both, since movies made with one of these is not compatible with the other. In case you can't find it from the emulator resources page, this is the download page for snes9x-rr: http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-rr/downloads/list?can=2&q=&sort=uploaded&colspec=Filename%20Summary%20Uploaded%20ReleaseDate%20Size%20DownloadCount

"Newbie" was never such an appropriate ranking on these boards... Seriously man, take a deep breath and describe what you're doing / trying to do and where it is failing. The attitude and terseness are not helping anyone.
