As of today, movies made by Mednafen-rr, PCEjin and VBjin (.mcm and .mc2 formats) will no longer be supported for submission. These emulators are highly outdated, with Mednafen-rr last having had an update in 2009, VBjin in 2010, and PCEjin in 2013. All the platforms that these emulators were uesd for are also supported by BizHawk with significantly better tools and, in most cases, better emulation cores. This includes Virtual Boy (for VBjin), PCE/PCECD/SGX, WSWAN, Lynx, NGP, and PCFX. Mednafen-rr has not had a new submission since 2010, PCEjin has not had a new submission since 2010, and VBjin has not had a new submission since 2016 (before BizHawk implemented a Virtual Boy core, which has been used for all VBoy submissions since then). Therefore, I don't anticipate that the dropping of these emulators will cause any significant issue. In case anybody is actually working on a movie in one of these emulators, you can post here and I will grant a continuance. Continuances can be granted until the end of January 2021 (UTC).

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.

Can we also stop accepting snes9x and vba for submission aswell.
I like to comment on submissions and look around the site. You have probably seen me before (if you have been around for a while) either on the site, Discord, or any other social media. I recently took up making temporary encodes for new submissions. Also, I never forget to greet Tompa wherever I find him!
