I'm in the middle of making a TAS on Desmume 0.9.10 (x64), and I've been periodically playing back the whole thing on fast-forward to make sure it hasn't desynced. Today, I noticed that it's suddenly desyncing at the first time the game auto-saves in the movie, and the save clearly didn't update. The movie proceeds to desync since the failed write to SRAM appears to introduce additional lag frames. This didn't happen before; earlier today I played it back and it would get through that section just fine. Additionally, if I load up the ROM and play manually, the game saves just fine. But if I load the movie, saving doesn't work, even if I stop the movie before the first auto-save and play manually. I've tried deleting the SRAM file, but the problem still persists. Is there some way to fix this? Did I accidentally flip some setting in Desmume? Edit: I just opened up the movie file in Notepad++ and inserted an extra frame at each auto-save and now the movie syncs again. Saves still don't work.
