I'm honestly pretty stumped on what to do with ffmpeg for bizhawk linux. It says to create a symlink pointing to a certain version. After googling this, I was still confused. Any help?

I'm not sure if the binaries for that version are still available to download, you may have to build it yourself. Here is the commit on their GitHub mirror. A slightly older or slightly newer version might work, but you would need to build EmuHawk from source as only the version shown is allowed to load. Either way, once you have it installed (say, to ~/.bin/ffmpeg-bizhawk) you can create a symlink in the usual way (where the second path is the one given in the Download FFmpeg dialog): ln -s ~/.bin/ffmpeg-bizhawk/ffmpeg ~/.bin/BizHawk/dll/ffmpeg.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

Do you mean build ffmpeg from source? I downloaded the git for that. it said to run --disablex86asm under ./configure. And I did that and then make install and then got a permission error. ran sudo -i to get root and couldn't seem to change directories..

Good news and bad news: bad news: I'm still lost with what to do with ffmpeg. Good news, I found a way without ffmpeg: Use image sequence writer in a separate folder(doesn't work with saturnus). Then use wav writer to get an audio file Install shotcut. Drag the first frame to shotcut. Click the file and go to preferences Check image sequence Go under video mode, custom Name it tas or something. Under frame rate change it to 59.727506 And figure it out from there.
