I still don't get how making the debugger run by itself makes it easier to track how the needed address got its value than by using a tracelog.

Okay then I agree that it should fit Standard under these new rules.

BTW I don't even think we need this proven. We just need it to look optimized, which means not easily improvable by a lot.

Is easiest password actually the fastest known password?
And yeah maybe the existing "hard" version is not different+entertaining enough for Moons.

Thanks! Please describe actual usage. Like steps of what to do to make use of this, and what would be happening and how it's achieved.

I know how to do it, I'm saying "That sounds even more hacky". It can't be a long term solution, even if it's the least evil for now until a new entity is developed.

I'd associate "beyond input" more with performance art than cinematography, because replay files would not be the focus of such a class anymore (which is what we call movies here). But otherwise yeah, we can make this work based on staff agreement to push a certain experimental entity to the site and present it (almost) like a publication.
Being restricted to replay files would result in hacking around this restriction by providing dummy files, but we'd also have to do something about movie length to make it present some actual info about the duration of the event in question. That sounds even more hacky.
The publication module would need to be reworked quite a bit. There could still be input files, and there could be several of them, and some files may not be submittable input. Multiple input files is already a thing, but currently they dictate all the metadata, which we don't want here. They may not be attached to any game, or they may contain several games. We may still need a thread for each "publication", but maybe not a submission page? What about obsoletion?

I feel the current full completion rule "Glitches and memory corruption may still be used as long as they do not directly affect requirements" would make sense for "max score" as a new separate Standard goal.
Among human score attacks, infinite pattern is a known problem, and it seems to generally be considered a thing that defeats the point of a score attack? So that would be the second limitation I would like us to keep, until someone makes a point why it may be a good thing to allow.
So yeah, both rules we already have for max score.
I think the default end point should still be whenever new content has been completed, or when the difficulty has stopped raising. If there's a kill screen, it's also still a great reason to finally let it go already. And if the score overflows or stops after that point, that's just one more valid ending point.
As to what to actually consider the definitive counter, relying on the visible one makes the most sense. If it glitched, internal counter may have to be used instead. And if the visible counter works okay, it may indeed look confusing to ignore it and reply on the internal one instead.

Okay then I would personally prefer having "", "N. Tropy", and "101%". "Beat/defeat N. Tropy" feels like trying to put a full sentence in a branch, which is only okay if we can't help it. So I think just "N. Tropy" is neater.

Can we name them "good/bad ending"?

Okay so while I think some day we want to make best ending acceptable to Standard in its own regard even if it's not the fullest completion, I also think rating above 6 is already decent for Moons. I feel if the goal is really objective, we should not require the same entertainment value from it as we do from playaround for example. Clarify of the goal and entertainment value should be able to compensate each other if needed. So I'd allow the bad ending branch to Standard alongside full completion, and best ending for Moons.

Is there a way to make the game end differently if you just keep playing?

Have you watched them though? In a pacifist setting the only real difference is bosses, and in the 2p version the pacifist goal itself evolved a bit to use subweapons. In the levels, it's 2 chars jumping over everything instead of 1, which is not substantial imo.

40 more frames saved. I don't agree that this submission is acceptable in terms of optimization.

What I'm saying is, the exact borderline between Standard/Moons rules for publications and Playground submissions is destined to change all the time, because we don't want to consider our rules perfect at any point in time. So it doesn't make sense to point out specific publication rules as being the opposite of Playground. The opposite of Playground is movies that make sense as legitimate speedruns with standard goals and and movies that entertain the audience. To simplify it to the point of stupidity, movies that are not niche. And Playground is for movies that are niche. That's the only substantial difference.

But different sources assign different statuses to it.
I found it as Mortal Kombat (World) (v1.1).md (the way it's listed in the submission) on some random site that doesn't explain anything.
I found it as Mortal Kombat (UE) (REV01) [c][!].gen in the GoodGen database. [!]means"The game is a verified good dump". [c]means"a cart known to not use Sega's standard checksum routine; emulators with an autofix checksum feature will need to have that feature disabled to run the game".
I found it as Mortal Kombat (USA, Europe) (Rev A) (Beta).md in the No-Intro database, which says"Putative Beta version (maybe not physical release), checksum is bad. Need to prove it existence by real cart dump".
Sega Retro considers this a good dump of v01. The source code of their page has explanations of what means what:
Considering this mess, I wouldn't reject this run for using a bad dump or even a prototype. But switching to v00 in the future would probably be a good idea.
Mortal Kombat (W) (REV00) [!].gen in GoodGen, Mortal Kombat (World).md in No-Intro.
