The solution is obvious. The "BizHawk or bust" rule is a failure, and people who actually TAS N64 games clearly dislike it. Allow Mupen (even if BizHawk is still preferred), or risk not getting new N64 runs on your site. Easy.
Does that mean you'll go away forever? Because that sounds awesome!
What a very logic and polite way to challenge somebody else's position...
There's no challenge. The goals of the TASVideos community and the SM64 community are not compatible. I agree with the position; SM64 speedrunners should stop submitting movies to TASVideos and TASVideos should stop publishing them.
May I remember the SM64 TAS Community, not just SM64 Community. A community that's apparently more interested in having a TAS done in emulator which emulates the game better than the emulator TASVideos.org has decided to choose. TASing is something with a very simple goal: finding out what's the fastest way to complete a game. And if that's being done in an emulator that can't even stay true to the original game, it doesn't make sense. It's completely nonsensical that the TASVideos community isn't capable of understanding that. There should not be any room for incompatibility, but still TASVideos finds it.
