ViGadeomes
it's a file with a series of inputs with the frame concerned
NoTeefy
if you take your CPU as an example, it won‘t run at the same exact clock speed all the time
NoTeefy
it will differ by a few ticks every second
ViGadeomes
the emu or the program for pc, just read the file to playback it
AndreofHazel
Alright, two more questions. How big can this file be? 100 GBs? In addition what do you mean when saying that the emulator allows you full control over the emulation? I'd like you to elaborate on this a bit.
NoTeefy
Well it‘s fairly simple: An emulator emulates a whole operating system which means that you‘re able to tweak every single bit of it. If you imagine having a console on a table in front of you, you would be able to modify anything you want
ViGadeomes
the TASing file ? mmmm 5 ko for 2 mins
NoTeefy
That‘s not the case for PCs. You don‘t have full access over the operating system
NoTeefy
which means that you won‘t know how exactly the CPU processes certain parts of the game
ViGadeomes
48 ko for 30 mins
ViGadeomes
it's just for example
AndreofHazel
@NoTeefy I remember some of the Dolphin settings and I perfectly understand what you mean.
AndreofHazel
That small? Is it just a text file?
NoTeefy
And as @ViGadeomes said it depends on how good the emulators actually are at simulating a system
NoTeefy
It‘s a compressed file of sequences afaik
ViGadeomes
us, we must to take the most accurate emulator for the time
NoTeefy
Now the reason why Martyste is doing it on a console is because the Emulator he‘s using for already provides certain features by itself; it won‘t matter what game you are running on it
NoTeefy
We don‘t have that for PC yet; at least not for our games in here
ViGadeomes
Linux games are TASable
ViGadeomes
Windows.... well it's kinda shitty
