Why is Faust core not recommended for recording SNES movies? Assuming it is worse than BSNESv115+, why was it added to Bizhawk in the first place? It doesn't even work in Bizhawk anymore. Is this a temporary issue?

Relevant logs here: https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/issues/1204#issuecomment-663917982 What do you mean by Faust not working anymore?
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.

https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/issues/4278 "This applies to every SNES title when recording with Faust as a note." "You're expected to use BSNESv115+ as a note." I see that this topic has recently been updated with a "Repro: Fixed/added in 2.10.1 dev" tag. So, does this mean that Faust is now (again) the more accurate core? Or do the issues stated in the topic you linked still persist?

Oh I'd forgotten about that. The label there indicates that a bugfix was pushed to the master branch (grab a dev build). Our accuracy-focused core is still (new) BSNES, but I believe current site rules allow you to submit movies made with Faust too; what's not allowed is timesave due to emulation inaccuracy.
