I saw some tases form 2003 and saw they were made with an emulator called famstasia and I wanted to ask why you stopped accepting movies from there? I downloaded it so that I could play about with it and nothing seemed wrong apart from some sound bugs. Thanks for reading

Look at famtasia's rating on emulation accuracy. Wiki: EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests
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.

If you want to play back TASes on real hardware, you better verify (rather than trusting your eyes) that your emulator is absolutely accurate.

That's already a big hint that it's not accurate.

And what exactly are the benefits of having it?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
