And if we can make a game run inside another program, and from that point, add things that are necessary to make a TAS, when I thought I found it a good idea,I don't know if it may work

That made no sense at all. edit: ok, i think deciphered what you meant. If so, then what you're looking for already exists, and is called hourglass.

You silly people, you all repeat each other about Hourglass but none of you actually put a link to it. You must help this poor man find it! Hourglass.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. 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.

You guys do not understand what i mean,i was saying , literally , inside another program , like Crysis inside a box , and then makes the possible to do a TAS on it , understand now? Not like Hourglass do

Isn't that just what Hourglass does? Sure, it doesn't support much more than smaller 2D games and especially not something as grand as Crysis, but other than that, Hourglass is basically like what you're describing.

No you guys don't understand him, it has to be literally inside, not figuratively inside. Here's a diagram:

||Inside       | |

The only issue would be is that the "box" for Hourglass is not complete; there are "holes" in it, that is, unintercepted services that make some games unable to be TASed. The fix then though is to just develop Hourglass more..

turska, good but let me explain better. The top two images is HourGlass. The game is not literally inside HourGlass. In the second row, the game is indeed inside the application.

I find the concept of Nach being a doctor to be profoundly disturbing. I feel certain that he would prescribe cyborg limb replacements regardless of what you were complaining about.

"Doctor" is an academic degree, not a synonym for "practicioner of medicine". (There's some overlap in "Doctor of Medicine" ie. MD, though.)

Everyone's assuming by "box" he means "window." Maybe he wants you to put your computer in a box. Or maybe he means for you "to do a TAS on" a box, like instead of a regular desk. Have you guys tried moving your computer on a box? Because you shouldn't judge if you haven't. Heck, maybe he wants to do a TAS while IN a box, like a hungry hungry hobo. Or perhaps the box belongs to Schrödinger, and the TAS inside is neither optimized nor not. I'm just saying, before we assume he means the obvious, let's think outside the box a little.

Uh, no, we actually need to be inside the box. Hourglass is outside the box. That's not what he wants.

If you think that's disturbing, I can now legally prescribe marriage in 4 different countries.

Wait , Horsebox 0.0.1? Are you kidding meh ? XD This is what i mean guys , duuh I want a program that support all other games without brokin peoples computer ,like a game inside other program , The hourglass starts the game in a way that limits the types of games loaded by it, we could make a program that simply makes a log file with the buttons that were pressed, just like autohotkey

Oh, it's a great idea. It's also nearly exactly what Hourglass is trying to achieve. It's just that it's still at least several years away from being able to support everything, let alone anything even close to TF2 or similar modern games.
