 Any gui.* calls requiring graphic context draw on the video.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_startup()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called when the emulator is starting (lsnes.rc and --run files has been run).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_pre_load(string name)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called just before savestate/movie load occurs (note: loads are always delayed,
 so this occurs even when load was initiated by lua).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_err_load(string name)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called if loadstate goes wrong.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_post_load(string name, boolean was_savestate)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

 was_savestate gives if this was a savestate or a movie.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_pre_save(string name, boolean is_savestate)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called just before savestate save occurs (note: movie saves are synchronous
 and won't trigger these callbacks if called from Lua).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_err_save(string name)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called if savestate goes wrong.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_post_save(string name, boolean is_savestate)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called on successful savaestate.
 is_savestate gives if this was a savestate or a movie.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_quit()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called when emulator is shutting down.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_input(boolean subframe)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

 Warning: This is called even in readonly mode, but the results are ignored.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_reset()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called when SNES is reset.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_readwrite()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called when moving into readwrite mode as result of 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

set-rwmode
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 command (note: moving to rwmode by Lua won't trigger this, as per recursive
 entry protection).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Callback: on_snoop(number port, number controller, number index, number
 value)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called each time bsnes asks for input.
 The value is the final value to be sent to bsnes core (readonly mode, autohold
 and autofire have been taken into account).
 Might be useful when translating movies to format suitable for console
 verification.
 Note: There is no way to modify the value to be sent.

\begin_layout Standard
Records are processed as follows:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
To form the first ID encoded by record, take the first prefixlen bytes predicted
 ID and append the read ID value to it.
 The result is the first ID encoded.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If countlen is 0, record encodes 1 ID.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If countlen is 1, record encodes 2+count IDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If countlen is 2, record encodes 258+count IDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If countlen is 3, record encodes 65794+count IDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The new predicted ID is the next ID after last one encoded by the record.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The number of rerecords + 1 is equal to the sum of number of IDs encoded
 by all records.
