I was wondering if it would be acceptable to use a savestate, battery file or cheat code to enable Super Hard mode in WL4 for a TAS. The only way to unlock it legitamately is to beat Hard mode, and that would be a pointless exercise in a TAS. If using a battery file or cheat code, the movie could still begin from power on so that there are no concerns about when it starts. (mods: move this to the General forum or elsewhere if you think it's appropriate to do so)

Savestate would be unacceptable for publishing. Cheat code would only be acceptable if it's simply an in-game password. Otherwise, battery file (start-from-SRAM) has the best chance of being accepted, because you can provide the from-power-on movie of yourself unlocking (super) hard mode as easily-verifiable proof that you used the same SRAM it created. Of course, the resulting movie has to be more entertaining than the existing TAS of this game to even be considered.
