Movie submissions
We allow submissions using EasyRPG Player with libTAS. Please follow these guidelines to ensure your movie is acceptable and can be synced:
- Follow all rules already in place for submitting libTAS movies.
- Keep in mind our rules on emulation accuracy. EasyRPG Player is incomplete and may contain visual glitches or fail to support certain features in some games. If your video contains serious emulation issues or exploits bugs that do not occur in RPG Maker 2000/2003, or causes the game to crash at random moments, your submission may be rejected.
- Make sure your game is listed as "Playable" or "Completable" on the compatibility list, otherwise it may be too poorly reproduced to accept.
- Make sure your movie starts with no save data! Having your own save data present may cause desyncs when other people try to run your movie. To delete your save data, go to your game files and delete any
.lsdfiles in your folder.
- In your submission, please provide the following:
- libTAS version
- EasyRPG Player version
- Filenames and MD5 hashes of your game files.
