My only major concern is that if uploading TASes becomes profitable, then we might start getting many accounts uploading TASes in the hope that they'll be able to make some quick cash off of it. Some of them might be uploaded without the permission of the author, or without the "this is a TAS" disclaimers, etc. I can't really just how likely this would be, though.
if it ever came to people trying to abuse it, you could simply flag their video and have it reviewed by youtube.
anyways i havent enlisted the vid for the program yet. going to wait a while for more input...

basically, because of the popularity of the sonic 2 tas, youtube is willing to pay me for ads. at first i was going to decline, because i wouldn't feel right taking money for it and because its not eligible unless i have all rights to the video (or have permission). but i was thinking that (with the blessings of the players) i might simply donate all the money to tasvideos (or even the players themselves, lol). would this be acceptable?

i usually dont look at submissions until someone encodes them, but due to the game, i'm tempted to download the input file for this and watch it myself.

i dont think theres a game less qualified for TASing then this:

fyi: all 3 buttons do nothing but blow kisses, but certain areas allow for jumping. plus the character starts to automatically walk to the end of the level after some time with no input. besides that, the game can be beaten without finding any kids or treasure.
and "Remember, I love you!"

Congratulations to the nullDC team, this is some great work. We have tested this emulator and it is now the best DreamCast emulator available. Most games emulate/run at FULL SPEED with minor glitches, if not, unnoticeable glitches.
>> Download the setup file (with installer) here. (Recommended)
>> Download the plain files here.
>> nullDC Compatibility List ** UPDATED DAILY **
Read the release notes (includes more screenshots): here.
Recomended System Requirements:
---------------------------------------------------
- CPU: AMD Athlon XP/64/Turion at 2GHz or Intel Pentium 4 at 2.6GHz or equivalent.
- Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 4 TI or ATi Radeon 8500.
- RAM: 512MB
- Operating System: Windows 2000/XP/2003
- December Redistributable of DirectX 9c
The above requirements are considered as the absolute minimum in order to run the emulator as it was
intended to run. The emulator might be able to run on systems that do not meet these requirements
but with issues (like slow speed, GFX errors or Sound errors).
Notes:
- Some games have higher requirements than the rest and have speed issues even on systems that meet
the recomended requirements. In that case a faster CPU is necessary to reach full speed.
- Pentium 4 CPUs perform some tasks slower than other CPUs, thus the clock speed of 2.6GHz is needed.
On the other hand, Pentium M CPUs perform the same tasks much faster
(A Pentium M 750 at 1.86GHz should be enough to reach full speed).
Intel Celeron and AMD Duron (and probably Sempron) CPUs are slow and it's expected to perform worse than the rest
- Nvidia Geforce 4 MX video cards are worse than the TI series and they do not meet the minimum requirements.
- DirectX 9c has many redistributables. It's common to have an older version installed that misses certain necessary
files.
Be sure to download and install the December redistributable or the default graphics plugin will fail to Load.
- nullDC will run on Windows Vista. However, hardware requirements will be a little higher than the ones mentioned
above and there will probably be sound related issues (as with many other applications running on Vista).
perhaps they can be persuaded to add rerecording support?!
