Temp lock so I can effectively split this.
EDIT: Alright. Topic split. This thread is no longer for religious debate. If you have specific questions for Bisqwit about his religion, feel free to use this thread. DO NOT try and avoid this restriction by using Socratic-Method guiding questions as an attempt to disprove his religion.
I will censor your post. There is a specific thread now available to you. Bisqwit is free to participate or not in that one.
To return this to on topic:
Bisqwit, do you think TASing will still be relevant and/or popular in 20 years? Do you think people will stop caring about SMB1, SMW, and SM64 after a certain amount of time? Where do you think the community you started will be in 20 years?

Ok I take back what I said.
The Tetra Master Championship is definitely not a matter of a few frame.
I managed to shave off about 5 seconds over the previous attempt.

Game 1 and 3 are close to perfect but Game 2 can probably be improved by at least 1 second maybe 2.
Did you manage to find something interesting Zanoab ?
Wow, battles 1 and 3 are impressive. Makes me want to go back and improve FF8.

about this: the game obligates you to use 2 players. Even if you play this game alone, the CPU will join you. There's not really an option on that matter.
This is pertinent information! It changes my vote to a yes, actually.

My biggest issue with this run is that it is 2 players for absolutely no reason. Killing the 2nd player every single time wastes time, and only makes the run 2 player in 'theory' but not in execution.
Honestly, I'd vote a weak yes on a movie with only night crawler.
However, as it stands, the inclusion of player 2 just feels sloppy.

I was re-watching some of my favourite runs when I stumbled upon Skyblazer this week,
and since it's done with a beta rom I decided to try an improvement using the (U) [!] rom instead.
But here's the problem; in the beta rom the first input can be given 91 frames earlier,
so, I'm already 91 frames behind Bablo at the start of the game, but think I can revert it later on.
edit:
I'm still on the first stage, but luckily, all the glitches from Bablo's run can be done on the good rom too,
some of them even require less inputs, so I'm pretty sure I'll be saving frames soon enough :)
Include that in the submission text. Even if you were 80 frames slower, it would be an 11 frame improvement, since you are improving the version as well.

Well, I am VERY new in this page so don't be so hard. It is admitted the use of Sony Vegas of the encode of .mp4 files? And how I send the link of a uploaded video to TASVideos?
Hi, and welcome to TASVideos. Encodes made of our TASes submitted to our site (which is what I think you are referring to) are made to rather strict standards, as far as intro screen, subtitles, and etc. Thus, only people who have been made publishers are given permission to link to videos outside the site on websites or bittorrent. I don't know about Sony Vegas, but the encoding tools used here are generally free for download, and thus, it is preferred that you use those, so people can assist with the encoding of videos.
If you'd like to know more about becoming an encoder for TASvideos, and possibly eventually a publisher, I'd suggest you join the IRC channel to learn more.
Thanks for your interest in contributing!

Hmmm. Sorry for double posting again but I'm gonna need your help.
I'm at the Tetra Master Championship in Treno and while it's pretty easy to manipulate a win, optimizing it may be near to impossible without brute forcing.
What are you trying to optimize/brute force?
Opponents hand? Opponents moves?

I mean 'you' as in 'the members of TASVideos', i.e. including the programmers who are maintaining SNES9x builds.
You'd basically go through the code and comment out everything that accesses the emulator core, until all that's left standing is the "skin" (input/output drivers are initialized, windows and dialogs appear as usual, buttons can still be clicked etc., but all the main window shows is a black screen).
Then add the code that creates/destroys and accesses libsnes, using the source code of SSNES for comparison.
If it is so easy, why don't you do it? You are seriously trivializing a massive amount of work.

That looks nasty. I assume you played this in PSXjin 2.0.2?
No core fixes other than SPU have been implemented in PSXjin, so all graphic glitches are there. Additionally, our main CPU/GPU programmer is no longer interested in PSXjin, so it is highly unlikely additional fixes will come down the line.

What's wrong with SDA's method of differentiating these kinds of runs? The term "(With large skip glitches)" is appended to their speedrun titles with, well, with large skip glitches.
That is sort of the same as "glitched", just slightly more verbose. I fail to see how adding 3 words makes it magically better.
I forgot who mentioned it, but we do need to add "glitched" to our glossary, to explain it.

Super Mario World would end up with a "fastest glitched" run, a "fastest non-glitched" run, a "100%" run, and a "max% small-only" run. (Names tentative, of course.)
Glitched covers the first. The second is any%, etc, etc. Not to mention, any% isn't non-glitched, it is just missing a glitch which fundamentally alters the flow of the game.

Uh, from Spain's perspective, yes. (Assuming age of consent is equal to age of pornography appearance - they can be two different things.)
You can however be arrested in the United States for possession, acquisition, and distribution of child porn.

Is there already support for this?
You'd have to export the RAM values via LUA somehow (e.g. a picture frame) and then combine that with the dumped AVI in AviSynth.
Numerous Japanese TASes have been doing this - including Playstation 2 ones, which makes me fairly sure they aren't using lua.
How they are doing memory-anything in PS2 is beyond me.

How do you define the "machine thinking you won"? As far as the SNES cares it just executes opcodes, there is no real hardware "win state". That said, there are software level win states, and I believe that once a software level "winning" routine has been triggered, that would qualify as winning.♦
So, if I found a "write to save memory" glitch and set the win bit, then you'd accept that the game was completed, even if I was in the middle of a level at the time?
This is why I prefer the credits version - it doesn't just display a splash screen, it plays the level victory fanfare, and actually executes an ending.
With this one, the splash screen just appears, and the music keeps going. I'd like to know if you can still actually move Mario during this (watching x/y values).

I think he's referring to the distribution of ROMs law, not SOPA. Which has also been well known for a long time, and the site has presumably put up measures to prevent it.
Actually, that law was for the distribution of video-game-based videos. Not ROMs.

I called Nintendo of America customer service yesterday, and they said using an emulator is illegal,
No, no it is not. Downloading a ROM from the internet is also, technically speaking, not illegal. What is illegal is the distribution of the ROM, and thus, the legal liability falls on the provider of ROMs, not the end user.
Nintendo of America wrote:
Are Game Copying Devices Illegal?
Yes. Game copiers enable users to illegally copy video game software onto floppy disks, writeable compact disks or the hard drive of a personal computer. They enable the user to make, play and distribute illegal copies of video game software which violates Nintendo's copyrights and trademarks. These devices also allow for the uploading and downloading of ROMs to and from the Internet. Based upon the functions of these devices, they are illegal.
This one made me face-palm. Per fair use, you are actually allowed to archive your own games, and play them via emulation. What they are saying here, is "We assume that you will use game copiers to become an internet supplier of infringing material, which is illegal, so the game copiers are totally illegal." Sorry, Nintendo, that isn't how this works.

So, I finished my verification movie, it is a whopping 14 hours long, and is available here. But it does get all cards.
Here is the start of a NewGame+ movie:
