Yeah it's better. Did you have to use resync savestates this time too?

I don't know the game, but if all the previous scenes are just overworld navigation, this timing looks good for subs.

No, I'm not suggesting to duplicate their meaning, I'm asking to replace these two tags altogether with two new flags. Since these two affect class-eligibility as you wrote, that's exactly why they should be given special emphasis, and not being put together with trivial aspects of a movie, that are all the other tags.
Also, I don't think that "people don't pay attention" when the interface simply is cluttered and confusing, and could be improved in many ways.
If it needs to be improved, it will be improved on the new site.
Flags are not as expressive as words, so how would you even draw an icon meaning "Forgoes major skip glitch" and potentially other tags like "Forgoes warps"? I don't want people to try to learn and remember 10 icon meanings (potentially more).

Fastest completion flag only works because it's not directly tied to anything already present in specific goals expressed by tags. It's a meta concept, and new branches may steal it. If people don't pay attention to tags, it means they don't see their meaning fully, at least they aren't aware of how it changed recently. Tags are definitive for class-eligibility. Duplicating their meaning with flags will add complexity and visual clutter eventually, and it'd be hard to explain the functional benefit from having the same thing represented twice everywhere.

If you can pick difficulty directly, rather than via a password or a save file of prior completion, it counts as an in-game difficulty mode and is fine for Standard.

Does it automatically increment difficulty every loop?

Fixed it to say "no-BIOS improvements".

Enctopia, do you still have the savestates you created for the resync? For future encoding of this movie (for example SD downloadable encodes) we can host them somewhere for future encoders, so they don't have to do the resync from scratch.

It literally says about Wine "Note that for future purposes, testing this workflow is still encouraged." It's not fully functional yet, but if no one reports its problems to keylie, it won't improve.

The main problem is we can't distribute pre-installed disk images with Windows. Asking people to install it themselves requires 1) perfect match of the installation files, and 2) perfect timing sync between author's installation and user's installation. If you spend a different time installing it on your end, disk timings (and hashes) will be different, which leaves no guarantees the whole thing will sync on that image.
A potential workaround is running windows apps on a different OS that has compatibility, but ReactOS doesn't work in PCem, so the only other variant is Wine in Linux. So if your game works in Wine, that's most likely how you should TAS it, without having to deal with Windows whatsoever. Wine support in libTAS is incomplete from what I've heard, but it will hopefully be improved in the future.

Interesting idea with double quotes in subtitles!

I'll use your encode officially, but I'm still interested in seeing the encoding commands too.

Why not? The video looks good to me, but I'd need to see your scripts to be sure.

Are you using TAS Encoding Package?

Imagine you release a tas and submit your movie, and the next day they FORCE PUSH game update that breaks sync. And while you're resyncing, they FORCE PUSH one more down your throat. Awesome job, Valve.

Alright so it's an interesting case where the same action is a major skip glitch in any%, but only a mild skip in 100%, just because you can skip most of the mandatory items in the former, but you have to collect them all in the latter. So [4435] GBA Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge "no levels early" by g0goTBC in 42:13.32 will be the only branch that "Forgoes major skip glitch" and needs a label indicating that.

BTW I got informed that if you load a state, dithering is missing for 3 frames. So it has to be compensated somehow. One solution is dumping 3 extra frames for the end of a segment (without state load), and appending the next segment starting with 3 frames after the save load. Does this make sense?

If banning the one instance where we clip past the last door gate is a little too precise, I guess we could go by the "no levels early" category for the 42 minute run. The more I thought of it, the less sense it would make to clip into levels early in that run if an approvement were to be made. After all, I'd have to open all the levels to be able to open the door to the final boss fight if I were to only ban the 50 jiggy door clip, because the game forces you to open all the jiggy doors in the intended order.
When the branch label for [4513] N64 Donkey Kong 64 "no levels early" by theballaam96 in 1:37:18.52 was discussed, I didn't like it initially, but none of us was able to suggest a better label that would be generalized yet descriptive enough. And here it also seems to make the most sense, because even if people find other techniques that skip most of the game without collecting the required items, that might not even be a door clip anymore! Yet we want to limit majorly unintended skips, and your idea sounds best to me.
Does it make sense to clip though any doors in the 100% run?
