Does Dolphin when playing back a movie for a game that uses A in game clock such as animal crossing play back a tas using the time prior to playback or does it desync after playback due to pc being a different time then starting tas? i tried making a tas or wild world prior to Letter header glitch but when i played it back it desync after one playback. i'm not smart enough for technical specifications involving emulation so i know how to use Frame advance and save states and basic tas stuff but outside of that i have no idea how to tas help with this topic would be greatly be appreciated thanks.

The time is stored in the movie file and will be used on playback so that you don't desync due to the time being different. But you can still desync due to other reasons, like if you're using an existing save file and the contents at recording time don't match the contents at playback time.
