So, in this topic i'll post all kind of questions i have about dtm files, hacking, options, issues and other stuff about dolphin and how to create TAS videos or how to hack things and read some code of the games and what not. So, i'll start up with 2 little questions here: 1. How do people know how many re-records they've used? can i still figure out how many i used even after i finished my TAS? 2. How do i continue working on a DTM file? or do i use multiple DTM files? So, basically i did a little TAS here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVQucjizA6g&feature=youtu.be The only problem i have, is sound issues, whatever. Basically, what i did is setting a state at the last frame of the video, i ended the movie (closed the game window) at the same frame, though now how do i continue working on that DTM file? Or do i actually make a new one, or do i load the state and pause the game and start recording? Or uuh... Well how i do that, i guess you got my point. Thanks for your help :)
yea i really enjoy tas speedruns i have one WIP TAS of metroid prime you can check it on my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/MrSpEeDrUn?feature=mhee

Without knowledge of specific GC emulator, but generally rerecord counts usually show on the window where you select a movie to play. When loaded a file, it should show you author ID, rerecords, plus Rom used etc. To resume recording, when you load a video, make sure you do not load it as 'read only', because this is for viewing purposes only. When loading savestates in Read Only move, it'll act as a DVDs scene selection and will jump to that state, and resume watching from there. But if you load the movie without Read-Only, loading a savestate will then just continue recording from that point, and enable you to continue TASing your game.

About your wip, was it faster to start shooting those checkpoints from right to left?

Yes, though i used a slightly different strat than itspersonnal did, and saved a few frames, still it can be improved by a bit. You can't dash off the other side in order to face the right direction to the door, because you can't get the right angle for the dash. Oh if you mean the first targets, it doesn't matter which direction you do, as long as you scan onto the scanpost as early as the game let's you and walk into the right position to get warped into the cutscene.

For Dolphin movie files, you can check the rerecord count at any time by loading the dtm into this handy program.
