TAStudio columns are odd with multi-GBA

[RetroEdit]

When I press buttons in recording mode, the columns are mislabeled (the game processes the presses as expected). This seems likely to be a rendering bug caused by an extra ! column to the left.

Also, whenever I click on the columns for player 2, it just visually fills the whole column with the column's letter instead of properly setting the button.

Having trouble reproducing this one, can you give any more info?

[RetroEdit]

Sure, these are some repro steps:

1) Open GBAHawk 2.1.0 (I started with a fresh extraction of the released file) 2) (I paused the emulator and set up the GBA firmware to be in the Firmware path) 3) The first time, I was playing Game & Watch Gallery 4, but this time I choose Donkey Kong Country. 4) I opened Tools > Multi-disk Bundler and choose System: GBAL, then chose DKC for the first entry and GBA BIOS as the second one and pressed Save and Run (relevant XML) 5) I opened Tools > TAStudio (image attached, note the extra ! column to the left)

I can compile it myself and look into it if you're still not able to reproduce.

The '!' is meant to be used for a yet to be implemented toggle for connecting / disconnecting the link cable, so it's supposed to be there.

I can't reproduce the misaligned inputs though or other glitches.

I see. I can't test more currently, but I'll try and look at this in a few days.

To me it's fairly intuitive when I pressed 'B' for instance using recording mode, it did not render under the 'B' column, but maybe it's a local system-specific issue?

Weird. I tried every combination of recording mode, virtual pad input, keyboard input I could think of for player 1 and 2 and never got such an error. Yeah please let me know if you come up with anything

[RetroEdit]

Hm, seems like this was probably fixed in intervening builds.
