While functional, the native osu replay viewer has blind spots. It does not show:
For serious players, these limitations necessitate third-party tools.
// Using ReplayUnpacker (JS library) const reader = new ReplayReader(arrayBuffer); const replay = reader.parse();
// Get cursor positions over time replay.frames.forEach(frame => drawCursor(frame.x, frame.y); if (frame.keys & 1) drawTap('M1'); );
