Background:
long story short a friend bet me that i couldnt beat Pikmin without loosing any pikmin claiming it was "impossible" and i wanted to prove him wrong. I decided to test out dolphins recording function on the final boss fight level and sure enough i beat the game with all 203 pikmin i gathered through out the game without a single casualty. being the skeptic i am (and feeling really proud) i decided to watch the recording. this is where the problems start.
Problem:
the first few minutes of the video are identical to what i just finished recording, as it should be right? but then once i started getting ready for the boss fight, organizing my pikmin and such, i noticed the crowds looked weird. like i didnt organize them that poorly and then olimar started making movements i dont remember doing. i watched in horror as an army of 100 pikmin quickly got demolished.
Question:
so my question is how does dolphins "recording" function actually work? because it sure as hell doesnt record video as previously thought. does it jsut record the inputs for a game? if so are they just for the player? because the AI moved completely different from when i was playing although olimar seemed to move the same way(for the most part).
edit: the video seems to play out differently each time i watch it so im thinking it might just record inputs.
obligatory specs:
windows 8.1
4core intel i7
16Gs ram
64bit op
1T HD
nividea Gforce g650m(?) i think i might have an 860M but it doesnt matter much right?
