Jumping inside a canon, jump over a koopa right before crashing on them, using a star, from all things, to make a incredible new route... This run have it all. Yes vote, no doubt about it

If the screen uses both screens, there's not a lot of options left besides using both screens, I guess. In any other case, the video mode can change

Well, after reading this thread and seeing the NSMB movie, I'd like to point my opinions: They way NSMB were encoded is kinda strange. It doesn't fit monitors/TVs well, and in fullscreen mode looks way small, it reminds me some old arcades with a gigantic status screen and small room for the action itself (Wonderboy in Monster Land, Gauntlet). Maybe a edited video, showing "where the action is" should be made as a complement, not a substitute for the encoded video. And maybe showing the video horizontally, when appropriate, should be the best option. Games like Sonic Rush needs both screens vertically, while others could have horizontal movies. Results should vary.

Best movie ever guys. no doubt about it. In my point of view, this movie should obsolete the old movie. They have the same goal (being as fast as possible). It would make sense if the other movie followed the full Crrono Trigger story (Crono revived, all sidequests and Black Omen), but that's not the case. Unless someone wants to add a "abuses sram corruption" category. Then, we'd have another Super Metroid category name/tag.

Submissions need to be recorded from a power on with cleared SRAM; under no circumstance can submissions be recorded from a savestate, as per the rules. Mupen doesn't support start from SRAM options.
Even in cases which the sram is needed to unlock the hardest difficult level, being the case with Starfox 64? The savestate issue seems just a workaround to solve Mupen limitations. If it's possible, someone could tale a look at the savestate to see if it's really legit. Then again, I haven't watched the game, and I won't do it until a encode appears. Maybe the "expert" mode isn't even used in the movie at all. And the "difficult" path have its moments, but have the worst stage in the game (Aquas), and misses a lot of TASable stages (like the sun, I don't really remember its name)

Is it possible to record a movie with just one of the screens? The DS' dual screen recording makes both screens small in full screen resolution, and most DS games seems to make little use for both screens at once. This movie seems to prove it (at least for me =P) [edit] I'll move my suggestion to the appropriated topic.
