Rebooting the core loads the currently selected savestate slot instead of resetting unless the current slot is empty. This also occurs when playing a movie.

Current slot is a config thing, dunno if it should be reset. Ask in #bizhawk.

Seems to be working to me (ex. Soltice intro.) Can you give an example?

I try everything (reloading the core, rebooting emulator). It doesn't work. I try old version (first one after you fix sound of fds). It doesn't work too. Link to video

The "Changes" column is the only one that doesn't appear in RAM Search: (I'm using version 1.11.9.1, and this also happens in version 1.11.8.2)

Games are basically math with a visual representation of this math, that's why I make the scripts, to re-see games as math. My things: YouTube, GitHub, Pastebin, Twitter

This was an interesting bug. Should be fixed now. Please try Dev Build.

Works for me, was on by default when I opened ram search. The bug seems that once you enable Settings->Mode->Fast you can never really get back to "Detailed" mode, thus never able to see the Change Column again. And now I'm stuck with that problem too, will look at config files to see if I can fix it. Edit: It comes back when you click on Options->Restore Default Option.

Somehow when re-opened BizHawk the issue was gone, but thanks for this tip!

I tried to open TAStudio, but instead of the input list, the window displays only a red 'X' in a write background.

Pokemon Stadium 2 can be a bit unstable when TASing. Use the DynaRec core type so the game won't crash at a Pokemon's cry.

We fixed many crash bugs, but there's still that one that didn't get fixed. The "BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk has stopped working" bug is caused by doing too many things at once like while recording.

Ever since 1.11.7, the notification for the newest version doesn't display when it supposed to.

That is because I've been forgetting to update the page it checks. I fixed that now. I didn't realize anyone even used that feature :)

It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

When using the SMW Utilities script, it runs normally. But when I untoggle and re-toggle (not the reload button) I get the following error:

LuaInterface.LuaException: unprotected error in call to Lua API (0)
   in LuaInterface.Lua.PanicCallback(IntPtr luaState)
   in lua_error(lua_State* )
   in LuaInterface.ObjectTranslator.throwError(IntPtr luaState, Object e)
   in LuaInterface.Lua.SetPendingException(Exception e)
   in LuaInterface.LuaMethodWrapper.SetPendingException(Exception e)
   in LuaInterface.LuaMethodWrapper.call(IntPtr luaState)
   in LuaInterface.MetaFunctions.runFunctionDelegate(IntPtr luaState)
   in lua_resume(lua_State* , Int32 )
   in BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.EmuLuaLibrary.ResumeScript(Lua script)
   in BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.LuaConsole.<>c__DisplayClass3c.<ResumeScripts>b__35()
   in BizHawk.Client.Common.EnvironmentSandbox.Sandbox(Action callback)
   in BizHawk.Client.Common.LuaSandbox.Sandbox(Action callback, Action exceptionCallback)

I get this with v.1.12.0, but not with previous versions. Also, this error doesn't happen with non-modular scripts (this SMW one has a lot of modules). Maybe it's related with how BizHawk handles modules, by not closing them when the script is off/reloading.

I found the root of the root of the problem! If Store movie working data on disk instead of RAM is checked, your input might get erased when frames are being added. If Store movie working data in extended > 1GB RAM is checked and Store movie working data on disk instead of RAM is not checked. A fatal exception will even if you max out the metadata settings. Do not use these until we get a fix. Otherwise you’ll experience frustration I was having too.

I recommend you start reporting issues directly to their repository issue page, describing the problem as better as you can.

I found a weird crash when the Code Data Logger is enabled and you play a certain sound in the sound test of a prototype of Panorama Cotton ("Panorama Cotton (Japan) (Beta) (1993-11-27)"). Play sound 6F in the sound test (in the option screen) while the Code Data Logger is enabled and the following error will appear:

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at BizHawk.Emulation.Cores.Consoles.Sega.gpgx.GPGX.CDCallbackProc(Int32 addr, CDLog_AddrType addrtype, CDLog_Flags flags) at BizHawk.Emulation.Cores.Consoles.Sega.gpgx.LibGPGX.gpgx_advance() at BizHawk.Emulation.Cores.Consoles.Sega.gpgx.GPGX.FrameAdvance(Boolean render, Boolean rendersound) at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.MainForm.StepRunLoop_Core(Boolean force) at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.MainForm.ProgramRunLoop() at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.Program.SubMain(String[] args)

This error doesn't appear if the Code Data Logger is not activated. I encountered this bug with 1.12.0. Also, a while back I mentioned another weird 'bug' with the CDL for Genesis games where the cdl doesn't seem to identify DAC samples for certain games for some reason. For instance, Golden Axe III doesn't identify the drum set DACs and the character/enemy death DAC samples. You can see for yourself by going into the OPTIONS and play SFX 69 to 74 while CDL is enabled that the only thing that seems to be identified are the pointers to the sample but not the sample itself. I have notes about the sound driver for this game that was written by ValleyBell if you'd like to read more on the game's sound driver: http://pastebin.com/SQaDAYzb This seems affect a lot of samples in Genesis games, like drum samples.

Disabling the audio device associated with the emulator causes a fatal exception. I would like it to freeze the emulator instead of crashing it and re-enabling the device to unfreeze the emulator. Simple as cherry pie.
