So regearding to updating the old PCSX submissions, if I'm going to imrpveo the Oddysee any% by 2 frames, will the BIOS sill count to the movie time?

Regarding the new PSXHawk, I noticed two minor things:
1) Config > Path configuration doens't have the PSX options.
2) The PSX page says:
Unreleased, not approved for TASVideos submissions
Ported from mednafen to Bizhawk by zeromus

So, is it approved or not?
Edit: by the way, what is the official name of this core, PSXHawk or Octoshock?

Oops, we will need to fix that

It is approved, the wiki hasn't been updated yet.

While we're on the subject...
With bizhawk, it's useful to reference the implementation of an emulator core in bizhawk, independently of the core itself, because we've usually essentially forked it.
Now, I called the PSX work `octoshock` because it's an important enough core that it needs its own name and writing mednafen/psx was annoying. I can envision a future where it takes on a life of its own outside mednafen, so I gave it a ready-made name. I consider the work I did to fork it essential enough that it isn't a -hawk fork, it's its own thing.
So what do we call it in bizhawk? I dunno, whatever adelikat says. PSXHawk is fine. "PSXHawk is bizhawk's octoshock (the name of mednafen's PSX core, because it needed a name)" is how I would put it.

In a devbuild, you had to manually flush SRAM (or Memory Card) data for PSX games. Has that been addressed?
It's supposed to be happening when the emulator shuts down or the core/rom gets closed. Like every other core. This hasn't been addressed or changed whatsoever since december.
The only thing that makes it different from any other core in bizhawk is that loading a state won't clobber the .saveRAM stored on disk unless the game actually edits the contents.

EXCELLENT work, guys! Been looking forward to seeing PSXHawk released.
Btw, is there a donation page set up for emulator development? I'd like to donate an amount in that direction.

There's also something weird with MGS Intergral and Dual Analog virtual analog pads. When using an Xbox 360 gamepad, the analog sticks are all aligned in the right direction, but using the TAS tools for analog control, the sticks are not aligned and everything is topsy-turvy (e.g. moving Up on the stick makes Snake move right).
