Categorizing is fine, but we can't have multiple versions of any% runs as long as each of them technically satisfies the standard criteria. They must obsolete one another. And we seem to be at the point, when even the current meaning of the glitched category is "too slow", while still comprehensible and arguably entertaining. I don't want to see a hundred of runs that do feel like speedruns (even ACE can be done RTA so it still has traditional speedrun merits) be beaten by those 2-second movies just because the latter are technically faster. A 3 frame movie that makes the game actually complete itself due to luck is a different story though (too bad that one was the result of emulation inaccuracy).

That brings me an idea. What if we don't obsolete the standard game end glitch movies by such ones, and put the latter in the Demo tier? Because they exactly are no longer even speedruns, but demonstrations of technical prowess brought to absurd degree without any entertainment value at all. http://tasvideos.org/Feos/ConceptDemo.html

I edited the section in WelcomeToTASVideos to reflect our policies better (and commented on youtube).

fm3 can be uploaded if you remove the overhead. Saving compact fm3s, I can upload them even without zipping.

Fantastic ending theme, absolutely amazing. The game itself - not so much. Meh.

Ok, tell me what you do up to the point when it crashes in bizhawk.

Interesting, bizhawk also uses m64p 2.0 core. What plugin did you run it against on m64py?

I don't think problems with doom and no interest in fixing them makes the entire site cancerous. Probably the greatest doom problem is having to rely on internal format instead of having a stable rerecording emulator that runs the game and records its own movies in a reliable fashion. Once that exists, serious efforts can be made to actually improve the existing internal demos, proving them suboptimal in a productive way, and if you wish, proving them unreliable (if they are), also in a productive way.

Lua is slow when you do tons of calculations with it and you have to connect C and C# for each of them. There are Lua implementations in C#, which, if adopted, will make it run faster.

I did try to improve it when I first saw the wip, using the knowledge I gained from 1p warpless (running speed can be increased by tapping vertical direction), but I quite expectedly couldn't. As for my contribution, it's probably not just the script, but the entire R&D thing regarding this game, but it was originally MESHUGGAH's idea to add me in the current movie, not my request. But I obviously support the decision wholeheartedly.

https://sourceforge.net/p/fceultra/code/3230/log/ tl;dr: overclocking has been in fceux svn for a year, and now, after fixing it for a few games, we'll be releasing a new version soon. The principle is way easier and more reliable than speeding up the cpu: we just add extra scanlines to ppu loop and vblank, that's how dendy works. But while on hardware such scanlines slow down gameplay, emulators aren't tied to internal cpu speed, we run it at whatever speed we please. So if still running at 60 fps, we get overclocking with additional scanlines. In games where postrender scanlines make them buggy (contra force), use vblank scanlines. Config -> Timing. http://rgho.st/6LRDDYYTz

Nice new glitch. However, it's a shame you didn't seize the opportunity to create a proper run that improved the first half of the published movie as well.
How many people do you know who can beat Aglar?

Nope. Changing the length of the encode didn't help either.
