Topic: dink's FBN Development & Fixes thread

[dink]

Hi guys,
Another nice update from last night:

x when playing back in read-only mode, pause before the last frame so a state can be made to continue recording.
x fix buzzing at the end of input playback
x fix another problem with ffwd & re-recording


Let's say you want to continue a recording, but you no longer have the state from near the end of the recording to continue from...
With the fixes above (of course):

Load game, start replaying inputs in "read only mode", press shift+ffwd and wait for it to play to the end of the recording.
When it hits the end, it'll pause.  Make a savestate.  Now play the recording again not in read-only mode and load this state,
then continue your game as it records.

You could also continue without a state by playing back the recording not in "read-only" mode, and when it reaches the end of
the recording, it'll switch automatically to record mode.  Making the state with the method in the previous paragraph is a bit
more convenient, especially if its a long recording

Thank you for all your work to improve the recordings in SNES and Mega Drive, for TAS lovers it is a great Christmas gift to polish errors and facilitate their use. Many thanks and happy holidays.

Created a new i2c eeprom (e2prom) device and hooked it up to Coleco for saving progress in
The Black Onyx and Boxxle.  Boxxle also has a neat mode where you can create levels, and that
also gets saved

Also hooked it up to Megadrive / Genesis for games like Wily Wars, Wonder Boy M.W. & etc, replacing
the questionable "mdeeprom" device which was previously used.

Unfortunately, I ran into yet another problem related to Sonic 2. Unless there was an option that I didn't notice, it seems that the record avi feature does not handle the resolution changes in multiplayer, so instead of starting a new video, it just ends the recording completely.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for letting me know, I'll try to figure something out in the next coming days!  Sorry for the late reply, was working hard on something (see next message in this thread for details).

Hi guys,
added .tzx and slow tap loading support for ZX Spectrum games that have custom loaders or protection.  It wasn't easy, which is why it took so long

note: the loader doesn't support states or runahead/rewind yet, that will be hooked up soon

best regards,
