If you're going to TAS an Arcade game that has a very long time to load thanks to it being done on the PS1 version. Why bother? TAS the NES version or some other Cartridge based version. If the only version is on the PS1 then TAS the PS1 version. If there's a harder difficulty on the PS1 version that doesn't exist in the Arcade's dip switches. TAS the PS1 version. You're losing a crap time of time when comparing off to the NES version. As for loops. If I'm not mistaken, and anyone's free to correct me on it. A Game Loop for Dig Dug is at the end of 12 or 15. Arbitrary branch and using the wrong system. No Vote. Also, you used the slowest possible method of killing, and ontop of all that your Round 9 is the shitshow of your entire TAS. Edit: Also don't take Nécroyeur's advice, else you'll pull out a worse TAS since MAME-RR is a pile of garbage for using the outdated TASing methods and really needs to be ported to Hawk or overhauled entirely. Unless you want to get away with making a half-ass no effort TASes, falsify your objectives and avoid all controversy behind it by hiding from it and still somehow getting accepted for putting out garbage then do that. Also Arcade takes a longer time to boot for the same god damn game. So Arcade can shove off.

Mesen gets some TAS tools.
Mesen just needs a TASeditor as it does have movie creation, debugging and dumping. Haven't played around with Mesen's recording myself in a while so I don't know to what extent it works or doesn't. The other issue Mesen currently the input file (.mmo) can't be edited in a simple text editor similar to FCEUX's .fm2 format or be basically a zip file like BizHawk/lsnes in order to access the input.

What does this even mean? What do you mean by "intended method"? Does it mean using R.O.B.?

DJ Incendration: Shucks, I couldn't replace submission file in time. Also, why is it that the Tyson only runs were published, yet this isn't?
Nope. Don't even go down that route. Especially when the last 7 movies obsolete the 3 Mike Tyson only TASes that were made, and this is the important bit 2004. 2004 TASVideos isn't the best representation of TASVideos is now. It's basically more of a what not to do and those mistakes are later obsoleted by a full completion of the game. There's a few games with this example on what I just stated btw. It's not a single game case.

Aside from the questionable opening and ending input (Heavy-Spiking needed). This TAS is done well (enough) and improves on the previous publication. My vote is Meh for entertainment.

Alright let's go through this list. >Some of these aren't TASVideosChannel. >One's a dupe Uhha... Yeah, if you're going to make this list, make sure you're on the right channel. We have nothing to do with non-TVC stuff. Side Note: TVC used to automatically do [obsolete] on publications when that was finally placed as a thing for the YouTube encodes... only to be struck down by the automation dying and requiring to do manual editing. (Until 'TAS originally published on' came a thing and actually got rid of the major backlog) The list isn't necessary. (nor this thread) The need to revive the automation that actually did this in the first place is.

Something up with this input, on how the "A" input is spread out in the start and end. I hope that's game and not you. Light Spiking: User movie #42863514396910327

More like master of small screens encodes for ants. Jesus. I'll vote when I grab a magnifying glass (or just watching it out on emu).

>Post Subject: Cause reviewing published movies is quite sad honestly. You're single handily, deliberately might I add, picking out the Vault TASes because you feel bad that they're underrated. Your voting style especially after publication holds no weight and it honestly means absolutely nothing. Especially with the "reviews" you come up with which mainly apply to Vault movies. Again to repeat myself from IRC. It's annoying to see posts from you in the Published movies section cause most of the time we publishes/encoders think "Oh no, what did we do wrong?" This is also an unnecessary year old bump you committed. Catch the movies when they're submissions, not when they're publications. Vote then, not later. Oh and about my movies specifically. I usually don't give two craps about my Vault TASes, especially if they are fighters. If you want me to give crap about my Vault TASes it's simple, it's the ones I put effort into (Tekken 3). Mappy and Suzuki Bakuhatsu. But I suggest not digging those up, it'll mean nothing from someone whose goal is to go through each Vault movie and give a late "review". Actually, if you want to do reviews how's about you get another page for your section or alternatively. Use the comment section on YouTube. Since the encodes gather more attention over there, than on the site.

I actually found this to be extremely entertaining. Well done! I especially liked the one-hit knockout move used in the run. Man, that explosion is so awesome. I voted yes.
Oh so you comment on the one with the lack of sound effects and not the more complete one in both music, effects and characters. Jesus. Voting Yes after publication is a waste of time. If you're going to vote, rate the movie instead.

Game: Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul Category: "all endings" System: Playstation Completed: 3/13 Userfile Link to video Link to video Link to video Don't worry. After the first ending of the 3 storylines it does get a bit faster. But you'll won't know this until it is submitted as I'm only showing the first time round through each story publicly.

Low rerecord count. Ok... Mashing input at the start. Oh lordy. Blank input at the end. Alright then. Now before I actually touch this game myself is majority of this input RTA input? Also isn't for this game in particular Genesis > SNES?

I tried disabling Controller 2 and Memory Card 2 in the PSX tab, not sure whether it was applied though
checks Nah, you didn't. It's fine tho. If the game has next to no RNG this should be an easy fix to make. You need to make sure you've disabled these before you start TASing the game. And iirc you were halfway through before attempting to do this.

sonicpacker did it in video,might wanna link it somewhere on the main page
Nah. The top link that's here under miscellaneous is better (and is well organized and timestamped) and also comes in French. So if we're going to link something that explains more to the front page of all places, when we actually already link to the welcome page for people have never signed in it'd be that. But since we actually link to the welcome page froom the index;

I'm not a fan of long drawn out score TASes so I voted No. However. I'm concerned by your King Hippo fight, as it ended in Round 2 and you weren't able to drag it out to the 3rd Round.

Improvements on every fight from the old TAS.
Link to Old TAS that you're referring to thanks. Also, you wrote King Hippo's score looks wrong. Might want to fix that. Nevermind it is 1550 points. And there goes 5136 frames of blank input: User movie #42644174955803311 So Judge replace it... I guess?

No means no. If your current encoding methods with that temp encode is using Pixel Pro it is wrong, and it should never be used.

Going through my stuff and I stumbled on this: Link to video This was made on the eve of Octoshock being in its first ever build if I remember correctly. (The reason why I'm sure is because before this is a video titled "-AN" which had an Octoshock audio glitch) I'm pretty sure this is also posted somewhere in the BizHawk area too.

The game is called Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul it's on the PS1. Exclusive to Japan I might add and I'm curious on what is being said during the FMV sequences of the game. https://www.mediafire.com/?dr2ibe3tbwcdq Provided in the mediafire link (shock horror, I'm not using MEGA) are all the FMVs appropriately named as well as a zipped bundle of all of them together. There is no Japanese subtitles during these FMV sequences to help out. It's only audio.

A TAS should aim for the fastest possible time for overall completion IMO, and not to try to satisfy (supposedly) incorrect in-game timers.
Your post holds no weight to it when the author actually mentions going for "max score" but doesn't do it. But he does a record. And now it's accepted so that's that. --- Actually. While I'm here making another post. I'm going to bring up something no one has brought up in this submission. Which kinda sucks, cause I wished someone else would've spotted it and made a comment on it.
Abuses programming errors for entertainment
This was only brought up once during the submission's game objectives, but wasn't expanded on what these errors were. What exactly are these errors? The game just looks like normal mashing with nothing else. Where is the entertainment that you said you provide when using these so called errors but not mentioning at all in detail on what they are? Seriously. What are these programming errors?
