Would it be possible to add support for Nach's JMA ROM compression to the SNES core? I asked Ilari about doing it for lsnes, but I was wondering if you guys would be able to do it independent of the core.
Doesn't seem to be much information about it out there. Is there a reference implementation anywhere?
You could always ask Nach about it. Alternatively, NSRT is (I believe) the only way to compress a ROM with JMA. The most I know about it is that it's based on LZMA.

Trying to watch adelikat's current submission of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy, I only get about 40 FPS. Also tried Super Metroid to test a different core, and I get 50-55 FPS on that. Get full speed on the Genesis core, though.
My specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3 x86
Intel Core Duo processor, 1.82GhZ x2 cores (rated 2.7 GhZ)
2gb DDR2 RAM
Intel 950GMA graphics (shared with RAM, 224mb max allocation, Pixel Shader 2.0)
I installed .Net Framework and DirectX separately AFTER running the dependency installer.
I have to agree that this run does enough differently from the published any% to warrant acceptance. It's clearly good technically, and entertaining too.
I have one concern before I make my vote: Was there no way to damage boost around the downstairs segment in Stage 02? Or did you need the health for the critical hit glitch at the boss?
The only place you would take damage to save time is in Stage 3, at some of the poison vents. The time saved would be minimal, probably 5 or 10 seconds total. Remember too, it's not just about fastest time, it's about making it look cool.
I don't see that we necessarily have to obsolete the published warped run because it uses the same glitch this one does. I would argue thusly: Publish this as a new category, and stipulate that any new 2-player run must either be warpless, or use the glitch to its' fullest effect as this run did.
EDIT: Derp-a-derp, I forgot that we already HAD a 2p warpless. Color me confused, then.
Same thing I said for MvSF. I saw very little in here that the fighting community didn't already have numerous videos for long long ago. I expected/hoped for a lot more finesse and creativity instead of mostly the old and played out infinites.
The thing is, this isn't the fighting game community. This is TASVideos. You shouldn't judge something here by their standards. How would you feel if unassisted speedruns were judged by the standards of a TAS?
Anyway, I thought this was great. I agree that there was too much Venom, but that's a minor complaint, and not enough to prevent my Yes vote.
Is there any way I can check if my connection supports IPv6? I know I have support for it installed, which I double-checked after not being able to connect.
About what is the time spent TASing for each minute of the run? Would you guys be able to make a guess at that? I'm curious just how long it took you to do, say, the 4-7 you posted, which (discounting the goal roulette and score tally) lasted less than a minute,
