Record/reproduce emulator imput sequence

Evaldas · 3 Weeks Ago

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a description of one interesting function belonging to some emulator.

According to the description, it was possible to download a certain input record file, load a game and load the downloaded record input file in the emulator so that it can reproduce the recorded input (joystick, keyboard – you mean it) sequence. In theory, this would allow to easily record and share your gameplay in a very small file.

I have no idea how this function is called exactly.

My questions would be:

1) are there still any emulators supporting this function?

2) is there at least a remote possibily of implementing something similar to advanced emulators like ePSXe?

1) Lots of emulators have this "movie" function and they all work this way.
2) Since ePSXe has support for pad plugins it'd be pretty possible if someone did a new one that had this functionality. The burden would be on the user to make sure the rest of the emulator is setup the same way.

I'm interested in Sega Mega Drive. Can you recommend any to test?

Your description sounds very similar to MAME's 'Play and Record Input' function.
