System: Debian 12, Linux 6.1.0-21-amd64 Game: 32-bit Linux version from Steam. Game executable: /path/to/game/Snakebird.x86 Command-line options: -force-gfx-direct -screen-fullscreen 1 Settings > Video > Screen resolution > 1920x1080 (16:9)
Game: Braid, version published on 2015/06/13, drm-free version (available at https://www.humblebundle.com/store/braid). OS: Debian Bookworm amd64, libTAS v1.4.5. Game executable is `/path/to/game/Braid.bin.x86`. The game runs in fullscreen by default. `Video > Virtual screen resolution` must be set to `1920x1080 (16:9)`, because of mouse inputs. In `File > Executable options`, library path must be set to `/path/to/game/lib`. Command-line options should be `-no_launcher -60fps`. Finally, `Settings > Input > Prevent Mouse warping` must be checked and `Runtime > Sleep` handling must be set to Never advance time A desync might happen around frame 18750 by not bouncing on the rabbit. It seems to be relative to non-deterministic collision order, but this bounce is very precise so I couldn't make it more stable. The movie needs to be restarted until it works.

libTAS version: 1.4.1

{{Game: Flywrench, Steam version. The latest Linux version is buggy (wrong files, no executable), but the previous version is working fine. It can be download from the Steam console.
Open the following link in a web browser: `steam://nav/console` then `download_depot 337350 337353 6888663543024499238`.
The libraries `libcrypto.so.1.0.0` and `libssl.so.1.0.0` must be taken from the Steam runtime libraries. Alternatively, libTAS can be launched with included steam-runtime libraries using `~/.steam/bin/steam-runtime/run.sh libTAS`. 32-bit version of library libswresample is needed for sound to be encoded (`sudo apt install libswresample3:i386` on Ubuntu).
OS: Debian Buster amd64 with Linux kernel 4.19.0-5-amd64, libTAS v1.4.1. Game executable is `/path/to/game/runner`.
libTAS must be configurated with `Runtime > Time tracking > clock_gettime()` (set by the movie) checked. In `File > Executable options`, library path must be set to `/path/to/game/lib`. The game starts in fullscreen mode, so `Video > Virtual screen resolution` can be set to get the desireable resolution (does not affect sync afaik).}}

{{Game: Celeste, v1.3.1.2, drm-free version (available at https://mattmakesgames.itch.io/celeste), 64-bit binary.
OS: Debian Buster amd64 with Linux kernel 4.19.0-5-amd64, libTAS v1.4.0. Game executable is `/path/to/game/Celeste.bin.x86_64`.
libTAS must be configurated with `Runtime > Recycle threads` unchecked and `Runtime > Wait timeout > No waits` checked. In `File > Executable options`, library path must be set to `/path/to/game/lib64`.
There are specific settings in libTAS to enforce constant loading times: `Runtime > Game-specific settings` and check `Celeste` in both frames. It syncs the main thread and loading threads determined by their thread name. It is only necessary to frame-advance the game startup, until frame ~70.
For encoding purpose, there are a few settings that can be changed in the game menu before playing back the movie, which does not affect sync. The screen size can be changed. The speedrun clock can be set to "File" (this setting is actually mandatory because it allows to skip level completion animations). Also, we recommend to disable the screen shake and turn on photosensitive mode, it makes the video more pleasant to watch.}}

{{Shovel Knight v4.1 DRM-free version (taken from Humble Store), 64-bit binary.
Tested on Debian 10 (Buster) 64-bit and libTAS v1.3.5. Game executable is "/path/to/game/64/ShovelKnight" You must open "File > Executable Options..." and set "Library path" to directory "/path/to/game/64/lib"
The game can be launched natively first to set video resolution for encoding purpose. It does not affect sync. Also, in the game options, Game > Show Feats were disabled.
The game data is loaded on frame 2, so the movie should be frame advanced from startup to frame 3, to prevent a desync.
Version with credits fast-forwarded and inputs to the end.}}

{{Game: Axiom Verge, version 1.43, Steam, 64-bit binary.

libTAS must be configurated with `Runtime > Virtual Steam client` checked and `Runtime > Recycle threads` unchecked. In `File > Executable options`, library path must be set to `/path/to/game/lib64`.
For encoding purpose, the resolution of the game can be changed in-game in the options, it does not affect sync. The options must be set by launching the game from libTAS with `Runtime > Backup savefiles in memory` unchecked, so that the options are saved on disk. Then, `Runtime > Backup savefiles in memory` is checked again and the TAS can be played back.}}
