I've seen the current PomPum submission and it lead me to some worrying thoughts. There has to be an explanation of why sound isn't present in video dumps or even on a movie replay. I want to TAS Nintendo Nightmare and Yume Nikki, but the issue with those games is that it doesn't play any audio in Hourglass. (unless you modify the game itself) So I would want to see why this happens and how to fix it... any ideas? pls don't bring up houglass resurrection BTW...

Here's a (not optimal) Yume Nikki TAS with the audio. Link to video Read the YT description to find out why and how.

I haven't submitted this to TASVideos because I had to modify the game slightly in order to make it work, which I think is against their submission rules. Specifically, there were some audio issues that made the movie either desync or be soundless, so I had to change all the MP3s to WAVs and fiddle with some settings in RPG Maker. Nothing that affects the actual gameplay was changed in any way.
This worries me even more.

The Movie Rules state that movies of games that are not emulated well should not be submitted. You also aren't allowed to use tools that manipulate the ROM. It might be possible to accept a run that syncs on both the original game, and a modified sound-enabled game. Else, if the game doesn't work quite as well with hourglass, you will have to wait for an emulator that emulates the game better. Also, don't use spoiler tags where there isn't actually a spoiler!
Warning: Might glitch to credits I will finish this ACE soon as possible (or will I?)

I know you said to not bring it up, but I am gonna do that anyway. Well, nitsuja has not been around since 2011, so he's not gonna fix it for you. At least we're trying to fix stuff with Hourglass Resurrection even if the progress is much slower than what we'd like. If you are (or know someone who is) capable to fix it and willing to. Get in touch with us and we'll take it from there.
