The explanation of what you did during AGDQ 2015 never gets old. Yes vote.
Note to other publishers: I'll be encoding/publishing this one once it gets accepted.
I can't even load any core. Every time I try to, BizHawk crashes. I tried putting libwinpthread-1.dll and everything else in the RetroArch redist to at least three different locations (Cores directory, Libretro directory, BizHawk's main DLL directory), both nightly and stable 1.2.2. Same crash when trying to load a core.
Here's the crash info (translated from French):

By the way, I have the prereqs installed.
I'll get a temp encode up so that people can give feedback.
EDIT: Temp encode is up:

As for the run itself, it's not the most exciting run in the world. It appears to be well executed, however. Therefore, I'm voting No on entertainment and Yes for publishing to the Vault.
DwainiumB: For the record, the other video you posted back in October is still private.
Anyway, I've been doing a few RTAs of DuckTales on Easy lately (thanks to a French speedrunning event called "Ultime Décathlon"). Here's my current PB:

Probably could've been sub-8 if I didn't screw up at The Moon and Magica De Spell. Ah well.
(blocked in Germany, by the way. Nothing I can do about it.)
For those wondering why this movie seems slower than the current publication: The site assumed 60 FPS for PSX in the past. Nowadays, it assumes a framerate of 59.2928625619555 FPS for PSX NTSC.
This run is faster than the currently published movie by 705 frames, or ~11.75 seconds (assuming 60 FPS).
I do like the game and I do like that the programmer left out a easter egg within the game.

Enjoy a short run of the game. This trick works on all systems except the Commodore 64 version of it.

Have you read Archanfel's post?

If you mean to use trick with getting this sequence of items:

...and to skip nearly all levels i consider this action as a cheat and not used it. And i'm willing to bet that any competent judge will reject such "any%" run.
It's not a trick, as you claim it, but a cheat, and the reason why Archanfel didn't collect these in his run.
I myself tried in ePSXe and got the same results. To go on further, the CRC32 hash I get with the PSX Disc Hasher does not match with the one on redump.org (090F37C9 instead of redump.org's 2F7737A3), so it may as well be a bad dump.
EDIT:
So I managed to find a dump whose full CRC32 matches with that of redump.org's. Now come the good news:
1) The movie syncs on it.
2) The credits don't bug up!
In the end, the one that's commonly found is the bad dump, but the TAS syncs on the "good" dump.
EDIT 2:
Note to publishers: I'll encode and publish this movie when it gets accepted.

Spikestuff also told me the same thing, but the reason that let me upload to Archive.org is to avoid deleting the file after a while if no one used it which Mediafire do.
Citation needed.
All the files I uploaded to MediaFire on my account are still available, some going as far back as 2010.
EDIT:
AngerFist's requested encode is now available on MediaFire:

As a rule of thumb, you should not upload your encodes straight to Archive. We (the publishers) take care of that when a run gets accepted. Therefore, upload to e.g. MediaFire first, so we can review it.
Secondly, the primary downloadable is supposed to be 10-bit 4:4:4; however, this is not the case here (yours is YV12 (or 8-bit 4:2:0)), so it's not even acceptable.

fsvgm, could you pretty please do one of your marvelous lossless encode? I would be much much obliged :D
Addendum re: ROM dump: It seems that even in the No-Intro set, there are inconsistencies. The version labelled (USA) (SGB Enhanced) (which I guess is the perfect ROM) I got is, in fact, recognised by BizHawk as being the (Europe) version (needless to say its SHA1 checksum doesn't match with that of the ROM used), whereas the one labelled as (Europe) (SGB Enhanced) I got is recognised as being the (USA) version by BizHawk (the ROM used for this movie).
On Windows 7 and 8(.1), you can. (go to Control Panel -> Windows Update -> Change settings -> Set to "Notify but don't download")
On Windows 10, you can't.
That particular run was obsoleted by the Arcade version. However, since the introduction of the Vault, the NES version is no longer obsoleted by the Arcade version.
See this post.
Technically, we do have both the NES and the Arcade versions published on the site. This run obsoleted the NES run back when it was first published. However, following the introduction of the Vault, the NES run was no longer obsoleted by the Arcade version.
See this post.
And as I suspected, the movie description of this run was never edited to reflect this and led to confusion. I've now edited the description to reflect this.
