To be more precise with the Firmware Window it's actually this: Been talking with the author another thing that was changed was the Sound Settings: If 100 Volume doesn't work, I suggest trying 4 as that's what the author has provided as screenshots to me. I'm about to find out myself if that last bit of information is irrelevant, I will edit my post accordingly. Edit: And we have sync.

You know, I asked that back in June 2018. It is part of a milestone update but even that's just a "we'll do it... eventually." That and PlayStation honestly need the updates. Saturnus is a Waterbox core which from what I was told way back was only one person can maintain it. Compared to PlayStation (for example sake) basically as long as you can do a pull request anyone can do it.

This comment applies to the Samurai Showdown Submission as well. Seeing as Ninja-kun wasn't responding to the comments on the forums for some reason I decided to make a comment on their YouTube informing them to have a look at what we're writing. Well to be exact I wrote:

Hi, thank you for the fruitful feedback, let me revisit basic principles of TAS movies, will practice by myself more to make audience satisfied and come back.

On the terms of IGT vs TAStime I personally lean more towards the IGT TAS over the TAStime since well... being a valid goal and all. I personally enjoy going for pushing the game's time to as low as possible. It doesn't really change from a Yes Vote to a Yes Vote. But the extra shimmy that goes through the IGT version definitely does edge it more for me.

Simple. We're in a parallel universe where TASeditor didn't actually do any of these things and is just being damned on them on the spot for no legitimate reasons that we're seeing this top quality string pulling going on.

This movie just reminds me of actual logic that fighting speedrunners would do by doing the backups as it's a pain to execute the fastest method, something we do.
If this is not a playaround this movie is then slower than the current publication. Don't really have to write this, but Abstaining from voting this time around.

This "conversation" ended a few posts ago and we've reached nitpicking to hell. I like to point out, that even though you didn't respond to my post (which was fine as I did mention you can skip it) you have indirectly answered it with the following posts after my comment. This thread has pretty much run it's course as you've dragged it into the ground.

xipo just a dumb question. You can choose to answer it or not. Is the reason why you created the false damning narrative and evidence is because you were trying to make an improvement on this movie but couldn't, and then decided to bump a 3 year old thread with this claim?

For the need to be informed. The improvement in the death abuse to make the ship turn over faster. However, what stands out to me in the input... besides the fact that it's snes9x (which is allowed) is the fact that the input itself contains RTA input in it. Link to video I did attempt at making it to BizHawk but gave up and truncated input back to where I think it's best for whoever to pick up from. That usefile can be found here: 59899626961255060

Slower than an actual run we already have published: [3408] SNES SOS by ruadath & DwainiumB in 04:42.09 Abstaining from Voting. Providing an encode in a bit. Link to video

Just as a matter of curiosity, do you happen to have an NTSC version of this TAS?

This movie just reminds me of actual logic that fighting speedrunners would do by doing the backups as it's a pain to execute the fastest method, something we do. This movie is getting a Meh vote from me, speed fighters aren't entertaining most of the time. However I don't think your run should be published because of decisions that were chosen.

What current publication? There is a WIP that doesn't complete the game.
You love selective reading. Here's the full quote, emphasis mine cause apparently you failed to read a word in that quote.

Current Publication: [4060] SNES Top Gear 2 "all tracks" by Technickle in 2:23:40.99 The same publication that has been referenced. The same publication that has been as a comparator because the author has done decisions that haven't been explained yet. As for the two other comments you made, it just falls under the same point that I've already written, so it's not worth repeating myself.

Hey electricslide general question. Do you actually have any proper opinions on something or do you just enjoy turning every thread you enter into a large massive train-wreck or a burning building? Or in this case are you actually trying to use a current trend aka "Ok Boomer" to someone who is actually younger than the demographic it belongs to because you can't think of an actual retort and you want to, well let's keep it simple, be a person who strives for some attention no matter what you do? You still have posts that you need to get back to over at Top Gear 2 for instance where EZGames69, Memory and myself are waiting for an actually sane, non-asshole response from you. And I'm just going to remind you right now, if you choose not to look at the comments left at Top Gear 2, cause mine's particularly important as it brings up site rules in Post Content.
All posts and messages must remain civilized. Posts and messages that are or become uncivil are not allowed. The extent of civility (or lack thereof) is determined both by situation and by moderator opinion. Moderators may lock topics that become uncivil. Moderators may also edit or delete offensive posts. Disruptive posting is not allowed. This includes spamming, making multiple useless topics or posts, or repeatedly going off-topic in a topical thread. In extreme cases, disruptive members will be banned.
This is your 6th offense in the year, we haven't reached the point in December where the number would actually go down. (My post in Top Gear 2 summarizes all of the offenses.) No matter what your response is to me. You have absolutely no ground and I'm surprised you haven't been warned, or banned yet due to how insanely rude you are to other users. We literally had a user who was banned for being an intolerable bullying twat this year, and I'm sure there's going to be room for you there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To summarize multiple posts electricslide has done as a single quote. I couldn't come up with an argument so I'm just gonna personally insult you.

I will give this a Meh, it's a low Meh vote. However, I do advise you to either revise this movie and adjust it to speed up your competition and create a file replacement or to cancel this movie and work on the improvement and submit a new movie down the line.

Loadless version. During some loads, some FMVs(?) occur but they're just audio and inbetween 2 loads and they've been removed, in a real world scenario they'd usually be left in and the actual loads would be removed. (Also I'm a bit lazy to do a proper one.) Link to video

Celeste isn't about the constant struggles with one owns thoughts manifesting and telling you that you're unable to complete the challenging goal that you've set your sights on. No, it's about how Madeline doesn't wanting to eat those damn Berries. EAT YOUR DAMN FRUITS MADELINE THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU. Yes vote.

Citation Needed. Very, much needed. Know what you're talking about FilipeTales. Some movie created in LibRetro's MAME dll's in BizHawk cause it was made to compare to another user's work. MAME games are playable within a zip file, you need a zip file to run the Arcade titles. Alternatively, if there's somehow Arcade games that are bin games, load the cue.

Why is having 0 (or "fewest") rerecords a badge of honor now? Should I manually start changing all my TAS rerecord count to 1 before submitting? Is this a trend I should be expecting?
The fun fact is this isn't technically 0 rerecords. :^) The author just wants to make it sound like they actually accomplished something that other TASes have. Edited or not. This will end up not on the list as it doesn't contain a single rerecord count like movies before it.

What people are saying is you disregard any kind of criticism
I have agreed with this on plenty of other movies. You're just sour because I don't agree with you here. Sorry.
Nice meme when we look at recent time. Let's start from the top. Well we can start with here. - Where the author was told that they could've placed in a userfile in and pass it across at anytime and shows that we wasted our time on the other movie. There's also questionable selections the author has done which they don't address in the submission text nor here which makes it slower in early game. (You know, you'd actually know what we're talking about if you read it). On Contra III: The Alien Wars. - After the movie was compared to a canned movie. On TMNT III: The Manhattan Project. - When compared to an old WIP and the subsequent posts you made after. On EarthBound. - When the author had direct access to another run by two authors that provided it in their circle which they are also apart of, and the file existed before the author submitted. On EarthBound (again). - Where you've pressured the authors to rush their work. You can edit these posts at any point, but they've been archived. Also, I'd like to point out a rule in Post Content.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm quite sure that in 4 of those 5 mentioned in that list, you've gone against the rules by being uncivil and disruptive.

Nope, EZGames69 is calling you "stupid" if you are disregarding facts that have been provided. Which has been a common trait for you this year, disregarding the facts. (and that's a big IF by the way.) We have also lost track by not talking about this run anymore, much like previous threads that have gone down this path thanks to you.
