I'm not opposed to the changing #6 and #17, as long as they're logically consistent with #1. I think the toes on #1 are one pixel closer to each other than the segments on #6 and #17, so it should be fine.

I don't think that makes any difference to it potentially being extremely similar to any%. I'm concerned about category/branch bloat myself, but I don't think it's a new issue.

Is this not already a concern with existing standard branches, like a 100% or max score run that's extremely similar to branchless?

Which value should be used then? Should BizHawk be updated?

There's a skip that saves a few seconds over the published TAS on the statue. Don't know how it works exactly.

Well, I found those addresses and I could get past a specific point, which tells me that the game has no more to show.
I don't understand this

Checked and I don't have any save data. I get the same issue playing a fullscreen video from a savestate, though it seems to work when making a savestate while the video is already playing.

Link to video Last input is 28955. Doesn't sync from from power on and don't know enough about Arcade to tell why.

I'm not sure. The setting might have been changed when I originally tried playing the movie back and it desynced. Otherwise it's a new install of the game and of ScummVM. Should probably try deleting the save data but I'm not able to test till tomorrow.

You're starting with save data which moves the position of the start new game button. I changed this input and the movie syncs almost to the end. Perhaps you can identify the issue (screen recording because encoding broke and cba to fix it rn). Link to video

This hasn't been fixed; the movie time is still using 60FPS. This game has a Brazil release but the movie desyncs about a minute in.

This might not be worth the effort to address but there are slightly different names used everywhere. Firstly, they're called both Platforms and Systems on the site. I think these have slightly different meanings and I don't know which one best describes what we have. Here are some lists of platforms: I recently updated Platforms and EmulatorResources to match Systems as best as possible. I would be inclined to follow Wikipedia's article names. They tend to have already discussed/argued over the best display name, though their needs may not match ours. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Famicom will redirect to SNES; we instead list both names on Platforms (but not on Systems). On another note, having so many different pages with platform lists makes updating a bigger task, but this is only needed every few months or so. My plan down the line would be a separate page for each system, listing the emulators available, the best options, any nuances to note for submissions, game lists, as well as any other useful information.

Has anyone tried re-encoding this? Kind of odd to have a stars publication only in 720p.

Originally near the end of the movie I ranked up unintentionally, so I copied the inputs over to a new SRAM, which is why the rerecord count is 4. The original one says 417 rerecords.

Does anyone else find there to be poor contrast on dark mode between the background and foreground colors of teletype text? Check out Wiki: GameResources/NES/WizardsAndWarriors3 or Wiki: TextFormattingRules#Emphasis as examples. Pink on dark grey doesn't stand out well, IMO. It's OK under light mode, but the site defaults to dark.
It fails contrast check. The pink is a Bootstrap default.

Sami's TAS syncs on FCEUX with the correct (bad) ROM. Don't know if that's what causes the graphical glitches on Fu Manchu Burns. Link to video There's some things to compare between this and the other TAS, particularly in North Pole, assuming the correct ROM plays the same.

TASVideos now supports 56 platforms/systems. Just finding games to TAS for some of them can be a challenge. There's no definitive criteria for what counts as obscure here, it's mainly just platforms that aren't on Wiki: ListOfIdeas and don't have a wishlist thread. Just going to link game lists for now, finding good TAS options needs a deeper look. 32X: 40 games (6 are CD 32X) BS-X (Satellaview): 231 games (116 listed) Doom: 421 Megawads listed here. I'm not familiar enough with Doom to know where best to find level sets and if they're all TASable. DSi: 117 DSiWare games Jaguar: 50 games (+more homebrew) Jaguar CD: 11 games (+homebrew?) macOS: Don't know where to start with this one. Needs to be a macOS game that can be ported to Linux. 64DD: 9 games. Most seem to be Mario Paint? PC-98: 1228 games. No idea about compatibility with Neko Project II. PC-FX: 62 games. Most of these are dating/visual novel games. SGX: 6 games SVI-3x8: 130ish games TI-83: Various sites around. Is TI-83+ supported? TIC-80: Some games here and here Uzebox: List VBoy: 22 games VEC: 28 games (+lots of homebrew) Please feel free to suggest other qualifying platforms, resources to find games (speedrun.com is one), or specific games.

I started a spreadsheet here. It's adapted from this list. Documenting every AVGN game reviewed is quite a lot of work. The spreadsheet needs the games separated into rows and then a link to TASVideos's game entry.

The score counter at the end sounds horrible. Is it skippable with an alternate movie for publishing?

My sorta plan currently is to make almost everything parents and subpages to take advantage of the site map and built in subpage lists. Pages related to a given topic would be Topic/X. Example: Judging/JudgingGuidelines I haven't really gotten started on moving stuff around yet, mainly because updating links is kinda a pain but it's definitely something to keep in mind.
This has been on my mind for a while. I have a PR for a redirect module which works but is badly implemented. Redirects will allow moving existing pages without breaking any links on other websites that we can't change. More subpages may or may not be the best way forward. Wikipedia used to use them in the main article space but no longer do. There's a good explanation here. For a (fictitious) TASVideos example, the BK2 article could be classed as "Emulators/BizHawk/BK2", or "Emulators/MovieFormats/BK2". Neither of these are very easy to remember and you'd want "BK2" to redirect to the proper page. Alternatively, you could call the article "BK2", and have it in categories "BizHawk" and "Movie Formats". I don't suppose we have the manpower to implement a category system at the moment, but it's something to consider before diving head-first into subpages.

Some misc stuff I don't have anywhere better to put. Wiki: SiteTechnology is a TODO. We already have Wiki: SiteCodingStandards which is very similar and could just be adapted. Wiki: Helping and Wiki: Contributions are similar. Former is linked from home page. Wiki: DesyncHelp and Wiki: DesyncHelpTAS cover slightly different topics.
