I'd like to pester about that too. The lua script should be easy but I imagine my novel-size commentary takes time to process.
Perferably, the subtitles would be a file compatible with YouTube, MKVMerge, and MP4Box, ex. srt, so viewers can turn them off without needing a separate encode.
I can't speak for dumping with fm2 subtitles, but Malleoz's 4 hour subtitles didn't take very long to mux

To anyone looking up the original NES version (so not this one) on the site, having this run obsolete it means they won't be able to find a current TAS of it. Which is, of course, not a situation we want.
I find it ironic that you're saying this when this one's name is Donkey Kong: Original Edition :U
Regardless, I find it unlikely that a subtitle would make it any more difficult to find it

New TAS by E-Dragon :D
Link to video
It doesn't look nearly as impressive as his other TASes since Hyper Speeder is a really bad car compared to Gallant Star-G4 or Black Bull, but hey, it's still a GX TAS

You could hex edit the file if you're dedicated enough, but otherwise you'd have to pray for rerecording to be implimented
GLHF and welcome to TASVideos :D

I'm not the person to ask. I'm just repeating things that have already been said.
Please don't say I said it's the same exact game besides adding a level, when I didn't, though. You made the claim that additional changes were made, so back it up.

Anty, could it be console verified on the NES?
lol ninja edit :U
The NES is a relatively simple system to emulate, to the point that both Virtual Console and Bizhawk sync. You'd have to ask someone else for more info on it tho; that's all I've got

What are the facts?

The board type used for this game is MMC1 while the original was NROM
I think this is evidence that this version actually predates the original!
The game doesn't quite fit on the (cheaper) NROM that is limited to 32kb, so rather than use a more expensive board such as MMC1, a level was gutted. It makes more sense that the pre-gutted version was released 25 years later as opposed to someone going back and writing in assembly an extra level into the game

This is literally the exact same game as the NES release
Except it's not as you go on to point out. It's got different stages and it's slower.
As such, since this game's content entirely supersedes
Is it faster or slower?
All that's been done is copied inputs from before. No way should this obsolete. Shave time, sure. But it's the exact same inputs.
I guess we can expect to see every single NES publication to be 'superceded' by wii remakes. Sounds like fun.
This "remake" features a stage otherwise only available in the arcade release, which has even worse emulation than Dolphin. This run has a possibility of obsoleting (note: not a guarantee) the current Donkey Kong run not because it is a Wii rerelease, but because it is more complete, and matches the time of the old run in the stages which are in both runs.

The Rondo of Blood screenshot is stretched to 4:3, so the black bar is likely there to compensate for the difference from native res to 4:3. I have no idea why that would happen unless you fiddled with the video settings, especially since there's also added scanlines

There you can see a slow decline of interest in ROM hacking. It would be nice to have something like that for these forums.
Imo it's arguable there's a decline there. The most online count has been very high for the past few years; maybe they're just using IRC or something more often now

100% definitions are sometimes more obvious than other times, but they are basically never non-arbitrary. If there's really a big consensus that this run should do something additional to qualify, and there's someone willing to make that TAS, then I guess I would support the new movie obsoleting this one, but until then, this is a fine definition and a fast run, and deserves its spot in the vault.
In IRC we came to a consensus that this 100% definition is legit, so from my observations it's leaning somewhat towards legit
