I came in here as the one who encoded this that it was quite hard to decide what to vote when watching this long movie. My entertainment is yes.

Ah yeah, there's the long movie of April Fools that's acceptable. Inject that straight into my publication shotgun.

Config > Display >> Window Frame: None Uncheck Status Bar, Caption, Menu. If you want the Menu to load, Right Click the Void. If you want to full window it without having controls. Windows + Up whilst Hawk is the active window. The retain the "full screen" that you want won't work as you want it (unless I'm forgetting something).

Can't make that excuse when you did Driver almost 3 years ago as well as this video game from last year. You saying you didn't back up your OS to dual boot into Windows? Cause that's what it looks like you're saying. --- Anyways did the checking cause it's annoying when people don't check. At least to emulation this is, Saturn JPN loads the fastest when going in a stage. Not checking the European versions, cause they're the European versions.

Yeah and even I said (emphasis mine):

But to move it here and with next to no knowledge on the title you get me explaining stuff after being informed on stuff. Information taken from the SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom community homepage. You being a user who has great knowledge behind the title. I expect a better summary and more information explaining each of these tricks when you do write 'em.
As well as:

There are TAS exclusive glitches to the title that either doesn't have proper documentation or has none. You really owe us an explanation on these glitches cause I got the bare minimum but that's not good enough for something this dense. For example the Spatula Animation that's being performed is different to that of Skip, but is similar to Overlap when you were going through the Graveyard portion.
But hey, they don't care about the game at all, their attitude and actions over the past few weeks now:

What a demonstrably baseless and meaningless assertion.
Then prove it wrong by writing the information of what tricks I'm missing out then.
Cause right now, you're still proving me right after all these weeks as you work on Metroid Prime I should note. You are still making excuses to not do a write up. All you're doing here, by arguing in here in the submission forums is that you have the necessary time to actually write a valid submission text. So write the submission text. All you're doing here, by actually working on Metroid Prime is that you actually have quite an amount of time to be actually able to write a valid submission text. Let's say that's about 6.5 hrs on routing, and stuff and showcasing work on Twitch and Twitter... and I'm being generous, cause obviously you know that number would be higher since you work offline as well and post work on Twitter once in a while instead of streaming the content. You have the time. Quit circling about. Oh right, something I should've brought up previously but didn't cause you were just making excuses. You failed on all fronts explaining the Dolphin set of instructions that you were completely able to do last time.
Please include the following in your submission additionally to the ones stated above: • If your version is patched in any way, provide a link to the patches or entire source code. Ask the one who provided you with the binaries, if you don't know how to do that. • A checksum of your ISO (SHA1 recommended). • Newer Dolphin versions come with free dsp_*.bin files required for DSP LLE emulation; did you use these or the console ones (i.e. did you have to download the two dsp_*.bin files yourself from a non-Dolphin site)?
Now if you're going to post in the forums and make more excuses again let me cherry pick what I wrote in this comment I made today.

If you have time here to complain, and not update submission text with the necessary information. Do us a favor and don't waste our time by writing nonsensical comments.

When comparing the two console versions of Wipeout XL/2097 the Saturn version performs worse to that of the PlayStation version and it has worse loads. It might be a different story in the emulation world but that's the facts, not even an explination here to why you're using the Saturn version. You're also using the Europe release of the Saturn version and not the Japanese release and not explaining why you're taking that hit either.

The TAS does this already: Bramble Scramble & Slime Climb. Tem's even explaining in that clip that she learnt this speedtech from speedrunners and wanted to try it herself.

Good run, long loads. Ignoring the loads my vote would be Meh regardless. Glad that the first title is done now. Claiming for Publications.

Yeah that's an emulator hack like how the extra resolutions to DOOM is not accurate to real DOS version. So it would not be used. Ever. You can use it for your temp encodes. But no it's very experimental, and not worth it with visual glitches to do temp encodes when the site is dedicated to gotta go fast.

Light Spike of 57 frames of extra input left behind by the author. There is some menuing issues present in the input, but not like other Rookies where they mash through the stuff, this one takes it time. Just for future reference, cycle through using the 1 and 2 buttons after every menu. Not providing a patch up cause it desyncs at Foot Bag and there was actual time spent behind the input by planning stuff ahead and deliberately.

Right forgot to explain a thing here when I provided my input. How did I save 4 frames? Well I avoided collecting a star and decided to kill the enemy sooner. This is the issue of directly copying input without adjusting anything instead the last 29 seconds of the movie is just new input. What's the star for? Well if you watch the Publication the stars are used for Tutorial progression. Collecting all the stars will open the door and end the section. Now does the star do anything in this situation? No, killing sooner is still important that killing later. Now I mentioned this already, but to reiterate my input is not the be all end all and was also rushed basically the same day this submission came through to inform Meerkov of a "hey, check input that you copied" and provided what I did in private. This is why I don't want my input used because it much like the submission was rushed out to give an more can be done, even if not much since this TAS was made the same week as the RTA community found this oob and geg glitch. Edit: And I mean it when I mentioned my input was still not good enough. Still not good enough regardless, rather scrap the input made and just deal out a more acceptable enemy pattern but this is still better than not preventing Harry to grab that Star.

Oh the thing I've been waiting for so long to finally end the available game series. A nice, simple... visual glitches and alternative script game. Claiming for Publication. I'll get back to you on entertainment later.

Okay but did you really need to vote 0 on this TAS for both technical and entertainment??
I mean after being bullied and harassed by one of the authors (which can be found easily) I think there's a fair justification for actually lowering it (cause it used to be slightly higher).

Here's my input it save 4 frames the author is already aware of this input. (made in 2.6) Calling for the delay/cancellation of the submission if my input is used even if mirrored. The author is dealing with IRL stuff atm which is why they didn't do anything, they've had my input since the day it was submitted to work on further. For a 3 minute movie that copies input from a movie that's from 2015 stuff can be milked further down. I don't have the time or effort to care about this no matter what someone says to me in DMs. Edit: Also here's another set of input that avoids using DaJaWi's input outright (which again the author Meerkov is well aware about) and has a different enemy layout (which can be manipulated) that can also be looked into milking down the time.

Yes, I know it's another hack. I'm (and DaSmileKat for that matter) just letting you know what it has to beat.

On the type of hack it is it would have to beat: [2627] NES Hard Relay Mario by HappyLee in 08:14.95 (The TAS that DaSmileKat is referring to in their post)

Light Spike to correct the 13100 frames of blank input (without changing the rerecord count). Oh and claiming for publication if it's acceptable.

Unfortunately for me I'm one of the people who got it to sync. Unfortunately for me that means I'm going to be publishing this when it gets accepted. Sync Requirements: intel 7k to 11k iGPUs that are using UHD. Resolution must be set to 320x240 in order to sync.
