Not like. You're choosing your platform.

Should I have it on or off when TASing?
For vanilla DMG games have it on.
For SGB, CGB, AGB, have it off.

I recall seeing a TAS of SMR some time back, which IIRC, was yours Saturn, and it looked publish worthy to me.

Oh, someone submit this run to the Star committee. Do it, or StarMan gets killed in a brutal fashion.

Also, right after Megaman 5 by Baxter was published, Bisqwit moved the star from his own run to Baxter's, and it was there until we had a new Megaman 2.

I have to agree this movie lacks the feeling of a miracle, for a stranger it looks like something that could be done using an advanced debug mode accessed via cheats, while the old one clearly goes beyond the imaginary borders of the game.
I know what you mean. I echoed something similar in the first post in the thread.
If someone were to make a truly amazing run (read: Payload which is not only impressive like pony's, but feels like "I intentionally *TAS*'d this", instead of a prank) which goes along the lines of what I described earlier, I think we could come up with an alternate branch to publish that under.

Here's a thought: Batch torrents by system, updated maybe every four months. Not quite as much work, and easier to spread among the staff.
Completely unneeded.
We have a tarball of all current torrents which is generated hourly.
If you're looking for something more specific, just point your favorite BitTorrent client with RSS support at our all movies feed, and enter the search parameters for what to include/exclude.

It's not all sidequests.
Sidequests in this game are the events Gaspar mentions at the End of Time after getting the flying Epoch.
All the ones he mentioned that you completed give you an item in the process. It's not possible to get all those items without completing each of those side quests (to some extent). Therefore the max equipment goal implies all those side quests which you consider side quests.

If one wanted to go for something fresh to show it wasn't in the game, they should plaster TASVideos all over the screen. Maybe even recreate part of the site look in the game (screenshot loading is easy), along with some custom music, perhaps jumping between SMB Overworld, MM2 Wily Stage 1, Bloody Tears, to hit popular TAS franchises, and recognizable tunes.

I guess if this gets accepted, if it looks pretty much exactly the same, then put the previous author(s) of the runs as authors of this run instead. So people like me won't exploit this and the site can still have runs done with the latest emulators.
Um, please do go ahead and replace runs with not so accurate emulators with very accurate emulators.
Just realize which emulators are not so accurate and which are very accurate. Since this obsoletion only applies that way, and not from not so accurate to another not so accurate.

Ok. Still..what's the point of "Masterjun's GBC Pokémon Yellow in 01:11.06" which according to the comments, is pretty much identical to the current published run but done in BizHawk if VBA is totally fine with GB(C) games?
The more accurate the emulation the better. Gambatte has some of the best DMG and CGB emulation available.
A more accurate emulator run cannot be obsoleted by a less accurate emulator run. But the opposite is true.

Thanks. Excellent reason for obsoletion instead of two separate publications.

Next we need to award 3.14 pesos to whoever can give us a mathematical formula that when you run Pi through it, it generates the BGM we heard.

I really enjoyed this run. I liked how quick it did what it did, I found it almost unbelievable that it disrupted the game so, and so creatively in such a short time. The payload was excellent as well.
Comparing this to the "pony" run, I found each of them stood out on their own.
This wasn't filled with boring patches, and had a payload which was interesting and "TASy" all its own, which I enjoyed seeing, especially once other games were shown off in addition to the math.
The "pony" run got the game developers involved about hacking the game code which was funny in perspective, and shown off a whole new colorful animated screen with its own music. On the other hand though, it was long and boring, and the animation didn't really feel "TASy".

Post a commercial ROM image again, and expect to be banned.
