• C/C++; GPLv2+
• Issues:
  • #1673
• Notes
  • Standalone program seeing use for TASing already, see these two threads on TASVideos, and this thread for 86Box specifically.

• C/C++; GPLv2+
• Issues:
  • #2547
• Core Analysis
  • Early attempts (2010 or so) to add rerecording suggesting it is highly sync unstable. Situation may have changed since then. Waterbox highly recommended.
  • In particular, according to Ilari it had a lot of reentrancy with HLE operations, so you could get to a "frame end" while servicing an x86 BIOS call in HLE code, requiring the ability to save and load with different call sequences on the stack.
