I mean that's to be expected but also. http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/Desmume.html
Note: Please use DeSmuME 0.9.9 for TASing.

Doesn't aim for furthest/highest possible score (aka WR) and instead just goes for qualifying scores. Yeah, this is a very heavy No Vote. What you did was this but the difference (besides one's NES and has more events) is that you actually decided to submit instead. Similar to this TAS that's already in Vault, and you want to know a difference? It had more events. This is a no-go of a TAS and you should go back and do it again, and aim for the records, and actually make it entertaining.
Aims for maximum score without sacrificing Frames
This point is bullcrap btw. Maximum score implies beating all records, with the highest possible score that can be achieved. You didn't even try, instead you just threw up another Arcade TAS that you can get away with since no one uses MAME-RR but you.

Right out of the back of the gate we have 3854 frames of blank input. Issued further by holding Y for a long time, and I don't want to bother figuring out the reality on how many frames should be cut at the end. Held input and mashing is out of the gate, suggesting that time wasn't placed into actually doing a proper start up. I actually didn't load the TAS up to figure out the category. But what I can say with ease that it is slower than this beast: [2307] SNES Super Mario World "all 96 exits" by bahamete, kaizoman666 & Masterjun in 1:14:37.63 Your TAS has very clear problems from just looking at the input and being able to compare to a full "96 exit" TAS. For future use if you're planning on creating something but not submitting. We actually recommend uploading to here instead: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/my#uploadfile

Start of the year Delaying NPC Purchasing is a thing. Link to video This is a very helpful thing as it can assist on getting out of areas such as Tomb Town and Tyrannosaurus Wrecks as you're far away from the exit. (Even though a simple pause and exit would work too from memory. Haven't played the game in awhile, and never used the pause function.) Another thing that popped up at the start of the year is NPC Spacewalking. Link to video Speaking of Space. Reckon we can go to Space sooner? Nevermind, invisible barrier goes to the heavens. Also here's the rough route on any% Tomb Town: Link to video Last but not least this is a thing: Link to video

Why is the temp encode not in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio?
Why are you caring about the temp encode that has also been published? It's a temp encode. Who cares what resolution it's in. As long as you can watch it you shouldn't have any issues with it. Especially when it's native SNES.

>Wait X amount of time for the payoff >Cheat with a code I'll pick waiting X amount of time thanks, for the obvious reasons, it's not doing anything dodgy. Especially since we've had long waits appear before for different reasons. [2816] NES Final Fantasy "stairs glitch" by TheAxeMan, Inzult & Gyre in 06:58.24 [3093] NES Dragon Warrior III "item glitch" by vaxherd in 41:09.52 (There are other TASes that exist that have this happen to, but I don't remember which TASes from the top of my head)

>Uses Orange Ky (aka not normal coloured Ky) What kind of catastrophe is this? Shotgunning Pubs. Encode will be up soon to for this. Spliced in. It's funny that the sounds don't work for the instant kill. And knowing the missing sound effects thanks to Petit 2 actually helps a bit. Being shorter than Petit 2 I'll still vote Meh. It's a fighter going for speed, and having comedically broken sound due to the game itself.

As a note. Star Fox 2 has come out in its entirety on the SNES Classic. AND. The game has already been dumped and is available online (not linking cause obvious reasons against site rules, Google it). So I guess this is the point to this is that we can say Final Game is out and it's time to switch to that version instead for the next TAS.

Go back and do it again. 4 times is not enough. Betcha the 5th time is more that enough. (Shotgun pubs.)

I just wish we could finally have a proper any% TAS of OoT, using all the most modern routes and glitches.
Second, and also include Majora's Mask in that. Since the TAS is allegedly/apparently/quite outdated and the other category isn't done.

Drop the "FF" at the end and you'll get the hex colours you want. You're providing an Alpha value in your RGB and it doesn't like that most times (then again I have forgotten lua over time so ech). For example what you want was #00B0FF which does display sky-blue. Same stuff for the forums.

#00B0FFFF displays as [color=#00a0a0]dark-cyan[/color] not [color=#00b0ff]sky-blue[/color] with FCEUX default palette.
Also I don't know why you changed the colours entirely on what you wanted when providing this post.

jlun you're an idiot. mednafen is one of the most accurate cores between it, Xebra and ePSXe. And as a fact. ePSXe has falsified their test by showing that they "passed" certain stuff which in reality they actually failed in the game that requires said thing. Now for you Samtastic I'm pretty sure we already provided you the IGT watch value for Oddysee. And considering that it was a poorly done pcsx-rr run, I reckon that if you actually bothered you'll be able to improve it by a bit.

Nice. Especially the alt. route for 18. During the death route in Cold Hard Crash wouldn't it be faster to slide off the edge of the map whilst going down or is there a death trigger? (I'm mainly asking cause I forgot)

but this is no WIP
It fails to beat preexisting TASes. It fails on a bootup basis as the PAL flag is turned OFF forcing NTSC on a PAL ROM. So stick to the userfiles until you can do it with confidence that you actually improved a preexisting TAS (or RTA for that matter).

PAL flag is off. Also a ton of Blank input which would drop this TAS down to a 16996 submission (05:39.87 with the right framerate). I'm not accounting the Axe Grab nor the actual placement of end input as input is still being held after the fact. This is marginally slower than HappyLee's rejected PAL TAS: #5617: HappyLee's NES Super Mario Bros. "PAL" in 04:55.16 Which actually makes sure it's running on PAL unlike what you just did. Please for the love of everything stop submitting TASes as submissions and upload them at the userfile area instead. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/my#uploadfile

It only becomes trivial when you don't read the words "WIP" feos. Also just to point out. For you AcolPavel. Normal run: [1352] NES Donkey Kong by Phil in 01:08.67 True "100%": [2802] NES Donkey Kong: Original Edition "all items" by adelikat in 01:33.83

Just to point out they still exist. Google did a good and archived everything to be easy to grab when they killed off Google Code. https://code.google.com/archive/p/runeaxetas/downloads I'll switch the submission links to the new area and make an onsite backup in a bit.
