I also was surprised to learn this fact. I originally thought that the current state of input would be stored along with each savestate, and that loading a savestate would replace the current input with what was stored. But in actuality, the input state is a kind of global property of the emulator, one that remains the same as various savestates are loaded, and is only "cashed in" to become a part of the input log after a frame is advanced.
At Post #532299 I talk about adding joypad state to a "savestate object" data type defined in Lua code, in order to make inputs be saved and restored alongside savestates, as I originally and wrongly guessed they would be.
I encountered a minor bug where input in TAStudio isn't displayed correctly at the top-most row for one frame.

1. In recording mode, advance a few frames. (A)
2. Then load a state from an earlier frame. (B)
3a. Press any button on this frame. It will be correctly shown (C1) but on the next frame the row will be shown as empty (C2).
3b. Don't press anything on this frame. The row will be empty (D1) but if you press anything on the next frame, the input will be shown for the current row as well as the top-most row (D2).
I noticed another minor bug with TAStudio where input of the last frame isn't displayed on the emulator screen.
The three A presses before the last one are displayed by "View→Display Input" on the emulator screen, but the last one is not even though it is executed.
In sega cd core cannot pass boot screen please fix it
You will need to give more info.
1. What version of BizHawk are you trying this with.
2. What game are you trying this with.
3. What is the hash of the CD files (the .bin files).
4. What is the hash of the BIOS file you are using.
You can find file hashes with 7zip (Right Click -> 7zip -> CRC SHA -> SHA-1) or just use some online hash website.

I am having issues with the audio. Sometimes, the music disappears, and sometimes, the entire audio disappears as you can see in this linked video.

Is there any way to fix this?

Try using a different a core (Config -> Preferred Cores -> SNES)

I went to Config -> Cores (didn't find anything that said Preferred Cores exactly) -> SNES, and went through four cores, which are Snes9x, Faust, BSNES, BSNESv115+, but they didn't fix anything.
This is probably just a bug with whatever romhack you're using. There's probably not much that can be done other than use really old emulators (which the hack might be relying on).

Yeah, on the SMWCentral page, there is a complaint that the music breaks at the Yellow Switch. So the problem is the hack and not EmuHawk.

The hack I wanted to play was Kaos Islands, which was the hack with the above complaint. I was using a version of Super Kitiku Mario / Brutal Mario to show the problem the fastest way, and I assume the issue applies to said version.

Bug report: After using Basic Bot the messages disappeared permanently. Messages like "Saved state: QuickSave6" does not appear. Restarting emulator did not help. Deleting config file helped. (I also got like a thousand messages saying that something was wrong with savestates but I did not have time to read what the messages said, but it looked like a loop that tried to load a savestate that does not exist...? Using BizHawk 2.9.1. )
The Basic Bot intentionally disables the OSD (presumably because it would be flooded with savestate messages), though it should re-enable it when it's done. I've changed it to hopefully handle some more edge cases. You can manually re-enable messages with View > Display Messages. No idea what your savestate issue could have been.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope
Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

I used Virtual Pad in Bizhawk to keep certain buttons pressed.
But when I close the Virtual Pad window, those buttons still kept getting pressed.
When re-opening Virtual Pad, the buttons on the window didn't indicate that the controller buttons were held down.
I think no buttons should be held when closing Virtual Pad.

Hi, thanks developers.
Not a bug report, but recently I have struggled to run BizHawk 2.10 rc2 correctly on Linux.
Previously, the sound was not working, and the error log says "client-rt.conf is not found". But I installed PipeWire and related dependencies, and now it looks working. (I'm using Debian testing, and resolved the issue by installing pipewire-pulse and wireplumber packages.)
By the way, BizHawk 2.9 works without PipeWire (only with PulseAudio).
If PipeWire is mandatory, it might be helpful to include this information in the documentation.

OpenAL is used to output audio, whatever underlying library OpenAL uses should be included as a dependency within its package by the package manager (if it's not, that's an issue with the package manager). OpenAL being a dependency is noted in the README file.
On Bizhawk 2.9.1, when recording AVI with "Capture OSD" and "Capture Lua" enabled, gui elements that are half transparent will not show up as such on the extra padding space area in the video. The issue happened both with "Xvid MPEG-4 Codec" and uncompressed.
The issue can be seen in this video (Look at the orange and pink boxes).
