This was cool: #2172: Cardboard's GBA Ninja Five-O in 16:35.62. So was this.

Behold Optic Blas... er ... [1342] Arcade X-Men vs. Street Fighter "playaround" by SDR in 11:38.38. I also like this movie. I also like hovering over the link.

It has come to my attention by a frustrated user trying to register that our registration form was broken. I'm not sure for how long this has been the case, it might have even been slightly random. The issue has been fixed. If you had trouble registering before, try again now. In the process of fixing this, I also noticed we had a few other issues, which were fixed too. If you run into any problems, and are unable to register or post in the forum about it, please report it in our IRC channel.

You don't need an XBox to use XBox Media Center. Runs just fine on Windows, or Linux, or OS X. http://xbmc.org/download/

Hey, thank you for making this XBMC plugin. I tested this out, and baring some polish needed it's rather nice. I was able to bring up various menus of games and launch a movie from the comfort of my own computer with a remote. I'm amazed at how well it works.

I just added another RSS feed to use as an API. This feed groups other feeds which list movies which are notable in some way. Being recommended (special stars), top rated, or award winning. All RSS feeds now also contain categories for each award a movie won. In addition to easy access to award winning movies in RSS feeds, the awards page now automatically displays all award winning players and their movies. Trophy icons users possess now also link to the particular entry in the award page for that award. More award goodies coming soon.

Another hex edit? Can't you just make a fresh movie, and try to improve it everywhere?

I added tons of information to the various RSS feeds the site provides. Submission items now contain a link to the movie file. Publications now contains full info for each movie, including watching online links, mirror URLs, all torrents, categories, and rating. All RSS items now also link to the appropriate place to comment on an item, and the cutoff length of each item has been expanded so you can see more about each one. You can now use our RSS feeds in your applications to display info however you desire, and provide easy access to our content. In order to assist with this, there is now a Systems Feed Which contains links to a feed for each system listing all non obsoleted movies. These feeds conform to RSS 2, Atom, and Media RSS 1.5 specifications. They've been tested and work nicely in Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome (with RSS addon), Internet Explorer 8, Google Reader, Akregator, Miro, qBittorrent, uTorrent, Deluge, and an XBox Media Center plugin one of our members is working on. Support in other clients although not tested should be fine. If you create any applications that make use of these feeds and could be of interest to our users, please start a topic about it in our forums. All these feeds are generated hourly. In your applications, please cache the pages you download, and don't bother re-downloading a feed if an hour hasn't elapsed, so as not to tax our server unnecessarily. Enjoy!

Sure, lets obsolete some runs BY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME. Makes sense to me.

I rewrote the combined RSS feed, and moved it to a new location. The old one has been removed, and forwards to the new one. This new one merges in news updates, and no longer shows updated movies as being new. Broadcatching has also been fixed. Basically, it combines the three new feeds I made earlier. Enjoy!

I didn't thoroughly test this game, but I think this movie can be improved. Better lag management, better boss fights, and perhaps better strategy in general when there's a lot of enemies around. In any event though, I think this hack isn't that great, nor did I find the run of it entertaining. Very strong no vote.

Why is the sequel so much less laggy?
Probably because by the time that came around, Konami finally figured out how to program for the DMG. This game here was one of the 3rd party practially launch titles.

I added 3 new RSS feeds for News, Publications, and Submissions. These new feeds should make it easier to subscribe to the information you want. The new feeds update once an hour. The publication feed is immune to issues of movie maintenance updates, causing havoc, and always has proper enclosures for BitTorrent broadcatching for each torrent file present for the publication. The combined RSS feed is still available, and will be updated in the near future to combine the newer feeds. If there's any other kinds of feeds you'd like to see available, please discuss it in the forum.

No. Via the news feed.

Out of curiosity, in what way are they being updated?

But why can't you do something so that these updates don't masquerade as new movies? You could change the date/time of the entry in the RSS feed to match that of the original submission, or just put a "date originally published" line in the entry at the top, so that it's clear?
Actually, I'm in middle of rewriting the RSS code. When it's done we'll have the issue solved, among other things.

Since when? It's been made clear the exact opposite.

It is possible to set auxiliary goals, such as “as high a score as possible without wasting time”, but, as stated, it must not interfere with the primary goal of fastest completion.
Going for high score is meant to not interfere with time. Further, it's been used for many games where time was not interfered with.
