Description

Summary

BizHawk crashes when dealing with old bk2's with player 2 inputs, when importing into TAStudio and under certain circumstances during playback. Not sure if this is a SNES core issue or something broader. This issue was not present in 2.9.1, so it is a regression.

Repro

Load the following movies in BizHawk 2.10.0. Attempt to import into TAStudio. Attempt to watch the first couple seconds with input display on (with TAStudio disengaged).

Host env.

Confirmed present

  • BizHawk 2.10.0; Win10

Confirmed not present

  • BizHawk 2.9.1; Win10

Research direction

Reproduce the crash in BizHawk 2.10.0 using the three linked movies, first importing them into TAStudio and then watching the opening seconds with input display enabled. Compare behavior with BizHawk 2.9.1 and narrow the regression between movie import, TAStudio, playback, and input display; done means the old two-player movies work in both reported scenarios without regressing the one-player case.
