For this particular bug, it's usually caused by AA/AF or other enhancements. When using D3D with certain graphics cards, NVIDIA does this really stupid thing and does some minor enhancements to make the image smoother, and this breaks stuff in Super Mario Sunshine. I don't know if AMD does it as well, but, in my experience I had to manually override settings in the driver to fix this.
OpenGL should be fine, though...
Free look has limitations, unfortunately. A lot of screenbased effects (like the heatwave) cannot be moved around, and the clipping planes are usually unaffected by the free camera.
The best you could do is to find a widescreen cheat and modify it to be a "no culling" code like people did for Metroid Prime.
So I know got4n was saying that current builds of Dolphin have TASing pretty damn broken, including stable. Can someone test thing WIP build to make sure I didn't miss anything when I tried to fix it? I haven't tested it on Windows. http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-2995-dolphin-latest-x64.7z
atma confirmed it before me, but I can confirm it fixes the glitch of TAS Input crashing when a GC controller was fixed :P (and also TAS Input not working anymore too)

AR codes change the game's code, so it makes sense that they cause desyncs. Dolphin's widescreen hack should be sync compatible unless the game does something weird, but the result will of course not be as good.
It would be awesome if Dolphin had its own ram watch.
Cheat Engine is such a pain to use to try and track down values and keep them synced (using pointers)

Something is being worked on, but I don't know the status of it.

I remember hearing about it from someone a while back. Thought they had given up.
Guys, basically, now Dolphin uses static addresses, so you don't have to use pointers anymore, just search via cheat engine and each time you reset dolphin your addresses will stay the same :)

Unless it's a game like Kirby Air Ride, which I swear every course change changes the address for position,speed,etc. I support having a pointer scan like cheat engine for Dolphin because of cases like this.

yeah, I meant, you don't have to have a pointer for the game when he uses normal addresses, like for example rayman 3 address if bf0fa4, and start address is 7fff0000 (or 7ff0000, forgot which one was correct), then the address static would be 0x7ff0000/0x7fff0000 + 0xbf0fa4 and you can even cheat them :)

Not sure if this is the best place for this, but since 4.0-6512 recording input on a wii game causes dolphin to not read the game's save data. I'd use a later version, but I need to boot from a .elf for what I'm doing.
Edit: I've submitted this to the issue tracker
Wii save data not working when TASing is a known issue. 4.0-6512 disabled NAND access to make avoiding desyncs easier (mainly for netplay, but it does the same for TASing), but this unfortunately also means that it isn't possible to load save data.
Older versions can boot ELF files, they just don't show up in the game list. If no game is selected in the game list and Paths > Default ISO isn't set to anything and the last thing that you booted was the ELF file, I think it will let you TAS it. It's not intuitive at all, though...

I think that means Rayman Origins is TASable?

Looks like they are based on an old(?) Dolphin branch. Might be troublesome merging them with master through a PR.
Here's hoping though, they are good features.
The recent version 4.0-8490 fixed a desync problem that could happen when booting. Having to start any game before playing back a Wii movie or having to restart Dolphin before playing back a Wii movie should hopefully be unnecessary now.
