Hey, How can I run lsnes on Ubuntu 64-bit 14.04? Do I have to install it via the command line or something? Also, I'm new to Ubuntu so please don't go rambling about Linux jargon :p Thanks, -Mvf314
As there are no precompiled binaries for Linux AFAIA, you'll need to compile it yourself. This is really not all that difficult. I can guide you through the process, if you want (preferrably via IRC because of the short response times, visit #tasvideos on Freenode: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#tasvideos).

Bisqwit noticed something about the divisibility of numbers of the form 2x*y-1, where x is an integer > 0 and y is an integer constant, so out of curiosity I investigated a bit further and noticed that (although with the caveat that I only tested with 64-bit integers, so there's room for error): ...
Interesting, I'll write a Haskell program for this when I'm home as an exercise and edit this post with results for higher numbers. Edit: Doh, let me get home first. Now you took all my motivation. I admit, this may be in part because the weekend started.

No: Lagarith. Ah, that felt good. Also, don't upload Lagarith to YT. It gets all messed up. Transcode to H264 instead.

In this video there's a Texas hold'em showdown where one of the players has four aces and the other has a royal flush. What is the probability of this happening?
Impossible? Doesn't a Royal Flush use the Ace as well?
In Texas hold'em players have a shared card pool. And both players can use the same card simultaneously from that.

There doesn't seem to be a good way to get money from Germany to the US. * amazon gift cards purchased on amazon.de cannot be redeemed on amazon.com. I cannot purchase a gift card directly at amazon.com without a credit card, which I don't have. * direct deposits outside the european union require a personal trip to the bank, a full-page form to fill out and incur fees that are unreasonably large even for such a manual process. * I have avoided entering a business relationship with the crooks of a certain payment company, and that's not going to change. * I don't have bitcoins. sorry :(
Yeah, unless you have Pay"pal", you're out of luck :/

so an lua script will keep the edits in?
Manual changes of RAM values are not recorded in a movie file. You'll need to write a LUA script that does the same thing you did with the RAM (or a savestate of the result) and send that with the movie to someone wanting to reproduce what you did. Edit: Also note, that you must not submit any movie that relies on such treatment. It will be rejected. Refer to the movie rules at http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html

Additionally, where in the world do you live?
This point is most important as MegaMan is blocked in certain parts of the world.
but I'm able to watch megaman videos from my desktop computer, so I think italy has not megaman restrictions?
I think watching youtube from a mobile device has more what-country-do-you-live-in restrictions than watching it from a PC. I don't remember the details.
I remember from my youtube uploading days that there was a flag to forbid mobile clients to watch the flagged video, maybe it's the problem here too?
If so, we didn't set it. The IP owner does.

Hello, I'm a long time lurker and sorry for not properly introducing myself, but to be honest I just wanted to report a problem: many videos from the official channel can't be watched from my iPad. I didnt research extensively for what videos are not watchable, but most if not all the megaman (classic and X series) are not watchable, so I guess that's a start. I hope this is not a site policy! Thank you guys!
Upon uploading YT transcodes our encodes. We don't have any influence over the final resulting YT encode in that regard. Try watching the 512kb (compatibility) encodes. These are 8-bit 4:2:0 H264 CFR video, with AAC audio in .mp4 container.

I'm with you there (the second point), not the first one though. We surely can manage to have a bit of everything in this one.

This should not happen. You should test your hard drives (they almost surely support SMART) and maybe your RAM (with e.g. memtest86) while you're at it.
SMART tests can lie to you, they are unreliable. Seen many drives pass a SMART test but fail a full read-test horribly.
Well, there are many types of SMART tests (short and long ones)... It's the only thing I ever used and luckily I haven't had a single HDD die on me so far, so I'm not to judge how reliable SMART really is.

At one point I saw someone say his variant of the error was solved via disabling virtual memory, and mine was too. For a few months prior I noticed my computer having an unusual over-reliance on it for some reason, anyway.
Just for terminology: You are not actually disabling "virtual memory", but rather swap space, effectively disabling swapping (referring to the "modern" meaning of paging: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#Terminology).

[...] http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C4025Y.html This is supposed to be a list of all "current" runs of "unnofficial" games, but it would seem that due to how this is handles, "Air" and "Air 2" no longer have entries. Even though they were never improved on. According to this list, now only Hard Relay exists.
Whoops, that should have been: http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C4025Y-Obs.html (includes obsoleted movies).

Could we get a descriptor for "Replaces different game"?. My original idea was to stop using a single entry for multiple games, but I don't see that happening, so it'd be nice if the entry itself indicated it was a "multi-game" entry. Given some time I might be able to think of a way to have a single entry for each hack that we've ever accepted as a "Publications"(Quotes! Huzzah) for "TASvideos.org". I'll have to look up how the database system works here and see how this one differs from a traditional database that would make such a thing overly difficult. [...]
Adding such a descriptor/category could even be done automatically at publication, I'm in for it, but can't do it myself (same for multi-obsoletions, but I have no idea how these are even done). BTW: I have no database access and no knowledge about how the site operates internally in detail.

[...] adelikat, my proposed idea about managing a hack list, would there be an easy way of searching through current/past submissions (rejected/accepted) for which ones are ROM hacks or not?
These are all current publications, which are marked "Unofficial game": http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C4025Y.html (does at least part of the job) This is a list of all submissions: http://tasvideos.org/Subs-All.html These are all game names used in publications: http://tasvideos.org/GamenamesEditor.html I'm not aware of an easy way of doing all of this automatically. Edit: http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C4025Y-Obs.html includes obsoleted movies.

That got me curious: How much spam is posted to tasvideos.org (that we never get to see)?
I can't tell you any accurate metrics (because I don't have any), but one suggestion of mine eventually led to the creation of http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=67. Moderators commonly split spam topics off to a thread in the (for non-staff users invisible) Staff forums, which I think we could make public, but give a warning that you're about to see possibly malicious web site and/or inappropriate language (because these appear there). It's not too bad in the end, maybe like 1 spam post per week or so (spammers post in bursts, so there can be weeks without any spam posts and then several ones per day).
