To TAS with Dolphin, you will want to use 3.0-678 or later, as those are the most sync-stable with GameCube controller input. I would not recommend the old 3.0 release.
Also, it is possible to use a real GameCube controller through an adapter in Dolphin. Just map the buttons in the GCPad menu.

But the Wii U will have HD, won't it? 1080p HD?
Well, I know I'm going to buy the Wii U anyway, because I will want to play Pikmin 3 and my siblings will want to play New Super Mario Bros. U with me, and I'm also a pretty big Nintendo fan. None of Nintendo's other systems have let me down; I don't think this one will either.

Unoptimized, no vote. Also, 1616 rerecords is too low. You need to take your time and optimize a run like this before submitting it. I would be interested in an optimized run of this category, or even better, a warpless run.

A little boring since you couldn't switch weapons or move around much during downtime without the game lagging, but still a good run. I'm glad you decided not to take damage too; it looks more impressive in this game.
Yes vote.

What's wrong with the battle system? It's simple yet it tells you everything you need to know. Mother 1's is definitely dated with the black background, but 2 and 3 have really nice colorful backgrounds that set the mood for the opponent you're fighting. It's a classic, visually pleasing design and I really like it.
I haven't played any modern RPGs though, so I don't know what a "modern" battle system would look like.

It'd only be a scam if they were trying to trick you into thinking that their site was the real site.
That's what I was thinking. I thought someone was trying to pass it off as the real site but was charging money for making an account, downloading the movie files, etc., but got caught and had to sell it.
I think your explanation is more likely though.

It'd be nice if there'd be a compilation of the Mother series for the Wii, Wii U, or/and 3DS. I'm a huge fan of the Mother/EarthBound series.
It would be great, but it's not very likely. Nintendo of America can't re-release EarthBound because there are several references to copyrighted material in the game, and they would face lawsuits if they released the game now. But they don't want to bother with the Mother series anyway because they don't think it will sell well.

I play EarthBound on an emulator. Pretty soon I may get the cart, and I have a SNES.
I play it on an SNES emulator for the Wii with a GameCube controller. Savestates don't seem to work, so it's like playing it on a real console. I almost got an SNES and the game, but all the EarthBound carts on eBay are really expensive.

The file was submitted as a ".bkm" but the publication page says "BizHawk movie file (.tas)". Shouldn't that link be updated with the new, better extension?

Feel free to post WIPs when you feel you've progressed far enough!
I will post an encode of Chapter 1 when it's finished along with the (slightly) improved Prologue.

I'm curious, how far ahead of this are you (if at all)?
Ugh, that run. I'm not sure how far ahead I am, since he doesn't use the optimal route. His run is a very unoptimized testrun, and he didn't take his time and optimize every room like I did. I know I saved at least a few seconds from optimized movement alone, plus Miles' amazing route will save me even more time.
