'''Mupen64-RR''' (stylized as '''mupen64-rr''') is an emulator used for TASing. It is most commonly used to record TAS movies. The file type used for the movies are: ".m64" and ".st", m64 is the movie, which can be launched if you go to "Playback Movie" but if you have started from snapshot, you will need a .st file in order to make the movie work, otherwise the movie will not start. | '''Mupen64-RR''' (stylized as '''mupen64-rr''') is an emulator used for TASing.

Open a Super Mario 64 ROM in Mupen64. Go to Utilities --> Movie --> Start Movie Recording. Type in a name, author, and/or description if you wish. You can also choose to start from the start (when you boot it up), or you can choose the star from a snapshot you have made. Click on OK, and your TAS will start. Press - or + to speed up or down whilst recording. You can also press \ (the slash usually above RETURN) to advance a single frame. To unpause/pause, press Pause. If you don't have a Pause button on your keyboard, go to the settings, and change the hotkey from Pause to something else. To continue from a TAS, put the movie settings in "read only" mode. Then when the TAS stops at the time you want to continue, then turn off the "read only" mode. After that, save a state and reload it to continue a TAS. | Open a Super Mario 64 ROM in Mupen64.

Because Mupen64 does not have perfect emulation accuracy, there are several hacked versions of Mupen to deal with this, as well as to allow for additional functionality. | Because Mupen64 does not have perfect emulation accuracy, there are several hacked versions of Mupen to deal with this, as well as to allow for additional functionality. | ||
