You know, there are regular people here that aren't experts in tech stuff. They have opinions. Are you drunk?

The issues are that I have a limited amount of time and limited preexisting knowledge, and there's a lot of code that needs to be parsed, and manuals to go through to see if behavior is valid.
You have a lot of specialists here, that can provide qualified help on that matter, you don't have to handle it alone, and there are enough users that can have a casual opinion on those issues too.

Nach is busy in his laboratory determining the validity of this movie.
Is it possible to know what are the issues, hampering the investigation for so long?

Since it desyncs for me much earlier, I won't be able to verify it.

You put it in the Game version field instead.

I'm convinced by Scepheo's arguments, that it can be allowed, as long as it's transparent and fairly used. Not that this agreement has any official status though.

So, every known time saver, and faster strategies, are already used in this run.
Thanks, enough for me :)

Nothing pre-publication is viable for determining a consensus. Post-publication I see 3 people that think this is not any% or at least unsure. And 2 people who think it is.
Myself, jlun2, scahfy and Nach agree with the ending point's validity. You and Moth don't. Moth is also letting the people decide. I don't know where you got your numbers from.
I can agree though, that it was a mistake to not raise the exact question about this run completing the any% goal before publication. It just seemed quite clear to me (it still is), and no one saw an issue.

I've heard that there are still plenty of timesavers that are known, but this run doesn't implement them. Elaborate please.

You can make a temp encode with regular sound.

This was advertised as a max score run.
How does it disprove my previous post?

The run is a max score run, and judged and critiqued as such. Nobody was asked whether this run was a valid any% run, you made up the consensus here.
The submission addresses this, and no one objected the ending point chosen the author.

There's a little problem with cheats. It's possible to patch some bytes that would affect gameplay in a subtle way, leading to unfair advantages. We all know what corrupted SRAM can do.

We don't define and ending at 999999. It's just the only place where the game acts like it ended (similarly to as you die). Kill screen or how that stuff is called. And I don't see anyone questioning the validity of this ending before it was published.
"Must be clearly definable as having completed the game", as a rule, may appear to be hard for some Atari games, in such cases we once again can rely on the majority. Some people consider it clear, some don't. If most of them do, I'd agree with them.

The old movie was there too, but this is probably an improvement on the entertainment side too. The comments here are quite good. Mooning it...

Ok. So should it be vaulted back, with no branch?

Vault branch names certainly exist, such as "100% completion", a completely vaultable goal, or such as the examples you list below. Contradiction?
And we very definitely have non-vault branch names, such as...just about any run with a branch that has goals that disqualify it for vault.
It's not about branch names, but about what is actually going on. Newgame+ runs are disqualified not by branch name, but by the goal. Then, this run's goal is not maximum score itself, it just appears to reach some kind of an end when the max score is reached (= Bishi Bashi Special), the actual goal still being "fastest game completion". And the branch is put only for the sake of information. Probably it's not needed, but I don't see a problem with having it.
