I have a big problem here. I started recording my run and have got to the point where I need player 2. To my horror, I never selected the 2nd joypad for recording. Is there someway I can keep my file, but have the second joypad selected?

It should be. All you have to do is hex edit the header so that it knows to read two controllers, and double the input bytes. I think JXQ's input animator does that, though you'd have to google for it, since I don't remember where it is.

You could always start Recording a new movie with the second controller enabled and, using a hex editor, either: 1. Paste the old movie in after the new header, or 2. Do some investigating to see how the headers differ. Then you can change the original movie's header once you find out which byte handles whether the movie reads player 2 input. When comparing the two headers, the only things I think would be different are the rerecord count, the frame count, and of course, the # of controllers activated byte. (The frame count and rerecord count are in hex, of course, and stored in big-endian format)
