This is something that has been backlogged for a while, but now's as good a time as any to go ahead with it. Yabause-rr is notorious as one of the worst still-accepted emulators. Emulation quality is absolutely terrible, the emulator itself is very unstable and prone to crashing a lot, it lacks a lot of good TAS features, and its AVI dumping is quite terrible and has been known to desync movies. It also has only had three submissions in its lifetime (all of them SotN), and by this point BizHawk's Saturn core is much better and provides a much more stable toolkit. Since I doubt much fuss is going to come from this, I will drop Yabause-rr support effective today. If you have a Yabause-rr Saturn movie in the works and this actually is an issue (and you are not or cannot switch to BizHawk's infinitely superior core for whatever reason), post here and I'll grant a continuance. Continuances will be accepted until the end of February 2018 (UTC). Update: This also goes for Saturn TASes made on the Yabause core in BizHawk 1.x versions (which was largely non-functional/broken anyway). Saturn TASes must be made using BizHawk 2.0 or later.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
