It's not a bad idea for a project, but you will not be able to submit it here. We can only accept files with input (keypresses, mouse movents), not encoded video.
Well, more to the point, we don't accept TASes except on generic platforms that aren't tied to a specific game or engine (so while source engine has demo files, and doom has demo files, and they can be TASed in, we still don't accept them)
That doesn't mean you shouldn't TAS them, just that TASVideos is not designed to accept all possible TASes.
If you just edited the frame count, that wouldn't make the RNG eight million frames in the future, because the game hasn't advanced the RNG eight million times.
Here's a first - ACE done over the Game Boy link cable! PWN your friends on the playground, if it was the 2000s and people still played this game! ;)

Lol, this is a good counter-argument to 'Why do we need accurate emulators, zsnes is actually BETTER than the real thing because it eliminates lag' people.
Or you could get creative with editing and go all Zeno's paradox on it. (Have a timer onscreen and accelerate the video until you get so fast there's only one blurred frame, calling it "infinite speed" and having the infinity symbol on the clock.)
But wouldn't it be acceptable for tasvideos since there is not and never will be a 'non-altered alternative'?
I'd like to see an official precedent set on it, either way, so people know whether to spend their time on this or not.
Four Swords
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ these forever
Tompa will instantly start working on the former and MUGG will instantly start working on the latter
As an example I used Super Mario All-Stars where SMB3 reads one of the uninitialized values and if that is 0x80 (so you basically have a 1/256 chance on a real SNES) allows you to change the powerup status when pressing select:
Wow, why does that work? And if it's really a 1/256 chance, couldn't someone dedicated enough on console get this to happen?
This point is most important as MegaMan is blocked in certain parts of the world.
but I'm able to watch megaman videos from my desktop computer, so I think italy has not megaman restrictions?
I think watching youtube from a mobile device has more what-country-do-you-live-in restrictions than watching it from a PC. I don't remember the details.
