When using save states while recording, you must remember that going back to a save state will make the emulator forget all the inputs you have made after making that savestate and you will be redoing them. This is important because playback will not work if you record in the middle of having started the game from dolphin. Dolphin will automatically start up the game from booting up for you once you hit 'Start Recording'.

In order to record inputs, go to ' Emulation'>' Start Recording'.This will avoid many issues you may have.

Dolphin tells you the hotkeys for save states under the ' Emulation' tab. If you make an input you want to redo, you can go back to a save state and redo the input. Save states are a useful feature to have the emulator remember where you are in a TAS.
