Issue 2 is common but does not happen every time. It took me three tries to reproduce it right now: Just open bizhawk, open rom, play movie.
The details box for it says this:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
I hadn't noticed 1.7.2a yet. I don't see changes related to these issues but I will try it sometime tomorrow I guess.
This is a minor issue but occurs frequently.
Issue 3:
On some SNES Roms, Bizhawk will not register the first frame of input following a load state. This has been tested extensively in both Bizhawk 1.7.2 and 1.5.2 on Zelda: Link to the Past, Super Mario RPG and Dragon View. Of these listed, only Dragon View has this problem - as far as I can tell it will never once accept the first frame of input. The other games show some inconsistency however between input immediately after loadstate and input separated by one frame advance from loadstate.
eg/ Savestate at frame 100 and 101. In Dragon View, if you load frame 101 and press a button for one frame, it will never be picked up even though it will if you load frame 100 and advance one first. This does not occur in Bizhawk 1.5.2.
In both versions of Bizhawk with the other two games mentioned, however, instances could be found where input on immediately loading savestate produced different results from loading a prior state and advancing to the same frame.
I have encountered other errors since beginning to use Bizhawk 1.7.2 but I have not had the opportunity to test them further yet. If you would like future feedback in a different format please tell me so.
