That sounds like a good idea. I hope it works out. Any strategy where one player makes the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of time is an A+ strat in my book.

It is my experience that less lag occurs consistently with the option turned off. And it is my opinion that this is a more accurate representation of DS lag.

I've highly anticipated this TAS for quite some time now. This has exceeded all my high expectations. Excellent work!
I agree with the starring of the run too. It has a lot of nice glitch/zip moments without being so glitchy as to be too esoteric for the average viewer. In addition it has a variety of moves, strategies, weapons, and of course awesome use of the super arrow.

Not the most stellar TAS ever, but enough to get a yes vote from me. It was fun. It gets better after the first few levels for sure. Its similarity to Road Rash gets some added nostalgia points from me as well.

You are saying a spin dash happens here? If so, I'd say that disqualifies the movie. Though I would still like this to be an opportunity to get an idea of public opinion about this category idea.

Some of my old WIPs are on 0.9.5 due to historical reasons. However, the latest ones are still on 0.9.5 simply because 0.9.6 is much slower than 0.9.5 on my PC, which could increase the production time by about 33-100%.
Config -> Emualtion Settings -> Disable advanced bus timing
That should help
Better yet, get a nicer computer already!
9.6 is much better than its predecessors in terms of emulation accuracy (which we highly value here). So much so I'm considering not accepting old desmume movies anymore.

Ok, short after I submit this run I see that Hotarubi has now become a member so it'll be great if someone could add him as a co-author now (to both runs)!
1) You can edit the author field by simply editing the submission text
2) You can add an author's name who doesn't have an account with TASVideos

There might be a 'market' for non-superplay movies that utilize rerecords. Something along the lines of longplays.net but without the "long" that makes them sometimes hard to sit through. Webnations had suggested creating such a site.
However, that kind of thing would be beyond the scope of what TASVideos offers. Like others have said, our niche is that of superplays not just the act of using rerecords.

Randil, fcm convert supports mass conversion. Just highlight all your fcm files and convert them all at once. Then move them to whatever folder you prefer. Then use fm2 files from now on. That is the intended behavior of the function.
There's only so much that a program should do for supporting backwards compatibility as Derakon said.

It doesn't depend on gameplay, it depends on the fact that over time FCEU has improved in the way of mappers. Old movies will usually sync, but not always.
However, I am interested in knowing which ones fail to convert, but they might be salvagable so try that first

And please don't post desynced movies here in the dev thread, PM them to me, or perhaps we should start a new thread in this subforum.
