Will refrain on voting until a video encode can be provided but a big question I have right now is how do you avoid the game from self closing during the beginning of the Omega Flowey fight? Did libTAS finally make it so it prevents the forced close?

It might be worth cancelling this submission for now and once the faster movie is finished, just submit that.

Im sorry if I appeared to be bullying you.
However if a run is already accepted, there is very little reason why it wouldn’t be published as well. It’s just a very unnecessary comment to make.

Nice. I’m still unsure if they actually do anything to affect RNG in games, or even loading, we probably just need to find the right game for it.

In fact, despite the replies, there is still not a single opinion about this.
it's because we dont even know which enemies you're talking about. are these the same enemies that aiqiyou pointed out or are there different ones you're talking about?

So I just discovered that there are 2 other "official" BIOS files for Saturn, both of them were in japan only. you can see what they look like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv5uBN76zls
they are called "Hi-Saturn" and "V-Saturn". I am not sure if they actually do anything to change a game's rng as the only game I tested it with was SotN (which seems to have the same RNG regardless of what BIOS is used).
could this be considered when making Saturn TASes if they actually affect gameplay?

It was suggested that I try to do this on the very early releases of bizhawk when PSX was added, I recieved the same exact results as last time.

So I wonder if this run is truly in the spirit of a "pacifist" run. The run hurts enemies without killing them, which is generally not what a pacifist would do. But if we're just taking it as a synonym for "avoid killing" then this run is perfectly fine.
I'm going to leave this open for a few days, and if nobody has a problem with it I'll just accept it.
For clarification, are the enemies you’re talking about the flying yellow aliens at 8:10? Because that’s the only instance where I see non boss enemies being shot at.

Im going to assume the reason why the time is longer than the publication is because of blank input at the end.
I’d really like to watch this once a video encode is provided. Ive been hoping to see an improvement to this game for awhile now.

So I’m not sure if this is fixable but when I attempt to import a movie from PSXjin into bizhawk, the input file ends up like this:
Why does this happen and is there a way around it?
Edit: as a side note, if you try to import a PCSX movie it will work, except the inputs dont press the correct buttons.

I'm not providing a temp encode for this one. The video is next to unwatchable in 30 fps and I haven't looked into how to get youtube to accept this type of footage at full frame rate. If someone else knows the trick, feel free to post an encode.
My understanding is that youtube will not render a video at 60fps unless it's 720p or higher. So upscale the original footage until it's 720p60fps.
this is exactly correct. (with the exception of a 480p60 that sometimes happens with vertical video)

Contra and Castlevania offer different routing choices which is what makes those more fun to watch. A normal any% of this game could be identical to a pacifist run, it’s the same reason why Iji pacifist was rejected.

Wasn’t it already established that this branch for this game cant be acceptable as it is from this submission?. I see no reason why it needs to be submitted again.
No vote.

Doomsday31415 said this in the discord:
“It looks like one of the authors of something I submitted doesn't want to be an author due to lack of involvement in the TAS
Who would I talk to to get that taken care of? 🤔“
That person who took care of it was Mothrayas.
