Summary

System.InvalidOperationException: how is TAStudio open with no game loaded? please report this including as much detail as possible

Reporting as it asked me to (and the error gave me a chuckle), will probably work around it with Bizhawk 2.4 and copying inputs.

Repro

1. Open BizHawk 2.11
2. Load Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (EB) (V1.0) [!].sms (doesn't seem to matter if SMSHawk or GPGX).
3. Open TAStudio
4. Open Challenger's bk2 UserFile from Bizhawk 2.4: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638693521322570251
5. Accept the Conversion to tasproj dialog

7. Click ok. ROM and TAStudio will close.
8. Error; See Output

Output

System.InvalidOperationException: how is TAStudio open with no game loaded? please report this including as much detail as possible

Oh it's just failing to load the old movie because the sync settings schema has changed since.
This should be handled better though.
