As for being picky about adding/dropping frames, it just seems like a lazy way of fixing the issue to me.
Yes, that was the entire point. The option just makes it so everything works without needing to even edit the output. This can be disabled, and instead dump each frame, along with timecodes for when they should be.

It's a 30 fps game, and the controller is always polled at 60 hz. Small variations in that can probably be attributed to lag.
I think it is polling at 30hz, since the inputs in the dtm files are always doubled. Like if I were to alternate A,B,A,B the dtms would show A,A,B,B,A,A,B,B
And RachelB, how do I use the disc switch function? Do I just need to pause Dolphin on a certain frame and select "Change Disc" then resume playback?
They are doubled because it is polling twice per frame. Ie, 60 hz controller polling and 30 hz frame drawing.
Yes, that's correct.
And no, i don't believe the build i gave you has the av hack.

I just skipped the first minute, since everything before that is just starting the game. Accounting for the time to start the video, and locate the part where it gets interesting, 3 minutes sounds about right.

It would only feel "fair" to me if the new TAS included new glitches or timesavers, that is, if a hypothetical version of the new TAS made on the old emulator would be very likely to obsolete the old run.
Which it does.
I know it's slower in "realtime" because the emulator used is more accurate, but is that the only difference? Without this difference would they both be the same speed?
No, this run would be faster, if not for the incorrect lag emulation in vba.

Because semantics rule all, eh?
Isn't that what this discussion has been about since the start? You argued that "released" was not an appropriate term. The entire argument here is what the word "released" means. And i am sorry, but there is just no requirement for something to be "distributed through official channels and listings from the originating company/entity" for it to be considered released. It may not be an official release, but an unofficial release is still a release.
The actual meanings of the terms "released" and "made available" in this usage are identical. There is no difference what so ever in meaning. Released is just simpler and shorter.
I clarified my previous post and added more examples. "Released" includes "being available" as one of it's aspects, but it has more criteria than simply "being available".

That is not what the word means. Something can be unofficially released. Or it can be released for free and not sold. There is no requirement for the release to be commercial, or even legal for it to be a release.
The fact that tasvideos prefers official releases, or that game companies don't recognize unofficial releases is entirely irrelevant to the meaning of the word "release".
edit:
but it's not an official release.
the fact that you need to modify the word release with "official" proves my point.

They may not be used with the same frequency in different situations (released is definitely used more often in both situations), but "Released" and "made available" are identical in meaning. They can rightly be used interchangeably. There is no requirement that it be sold to be considered a release.
