I asked this already in Discord but figured I'd ask again in a place I can easily check: I'm planning on running the next DTC. What would be a good general timeframe for everyone? June came up as an option for those who tend to be busy with school over the rest of the year, but I was also thinking of running it over December/January to take advantage of the holidays, which will also be appropriate when I announce that everyone's working in Hourglass to improve Hyper Princess Pitch.
I would also agree with this timeframe, so long as it isn’t a super major commitment like half a year or something.

do you understand what a hoax is? do you understand how insane it is for you to claim that someone purposely started a pandemic in order to bring Trump down? do you understand how insane you sound right now?

You’re right, it does defeat the purpose of the bug. And I’m almost certain you can reach the teleporter room if you didn’t do the save bug and just entered it the normal way by just starting your save file from where you left off.

This kind of movie doesn’t really belong on the main site. It’s not like with the last movie I participated in where you could take progress from a different character and trick the game into giving you full stats without needing to finish the game first. All this feels like is actually taking an already completed game and just copying the file over. It made more sense to do this glitch with with the other characters, but it makes less sense to do it here. You might as well just start your TAS in the save file where you last saved before Labs, because the only difference I see is how the save room gets glitched out. Either way I don’t see much use in a movie like this being published on the site, no vote.

So Strider 2 has a secret level you can unlock if you have a save file of the original Strider in the same memory card. The game actually comes with disks of both Strider 1 and 2, and by completing a game on the Strider 1 disk and saving it into the memory card, you can have access to a prologue stage. I don't know if bizhawk allows the user to load save data from other games or if this type of thing falls under sram anchoring. I also don't know if this type of case is a thing for any other PSX TAS on the site. Would something like this be allowed?

This tag should be used when major changes have been made to how the game is played compared to a previous run. Which is not necessarily obvious just by looking at how much time was saved.
how do you determine that? because there's plenty of runs on this site that save major time but dont have the tag on it.

I still don’t believe it’s reliable in syncing yet, and I dont know how I feel about a hacky emulator being newly accepted to the site. Just because an emulator exists doesn’t mean it 100% has potential.

Ok, so if I completed a movie in pcsx2 and it synced well for anyone who tried to sync it on their machine, and with a handful of games completed with no sync issues, would that be acceptable? Reminder that upstream pcsx2 does support tas tools. And for a while now too. And recently its had a number of fixes. And most of the hate towards pcsx2 is its over abundance of hacks. Like I said, they're fixing that. Again, I'll complete some movies without having to splice or anything.
does it have reliable avi dumping?

It’s usually best to wait it out when more improvements have been discovered. If you are too quick to submit while in the middle of these findings, you’re obviously going to have conflicting files later down the line. It isn’t fair to staff members here to keep having them work through it every single time. I personally try to keep my improvements for certain games spaced out, both because more improvements may be discovered and because it doesn’t stress out staff members.
