For encoder If this submission is accepted, adds subtitles into the encode please. And mine is here. Editing will be easier with it.
Never have I ever had to actually mad rush skim through the subtitles that look worse than the default subs that BizHawk itself provides. (It's modified slightly... worse) For the actual Publisher/Encoder if you are going to use file provided by Soig and not extracting the subs from the bk2 use this file instead. This is in the .ass format I might give a overhauled srt file too. (Most likely not.) Note: I didn't have game footage dumped. So it's a bit blind with the positioning being fixed. You'll have to go over some incorrect grammatical errors and the sentence structures as I didn't bother fixing that. I did fix the spelling mistakes however, so there's that. Also in my opinion. An hour runtime with only 86 lines of subtitles shouldn't really be published with subtitles integrated. Especially when the subtitles only pop up here... and there. (And then hogging most of the screenspace)

1) Who are you? 2) No. 3) dwangoAC or link_7777 (or both) are fully suitable on their own to actually make the decisions with what we already provided by themselves.

But then I tried on 2.1.0 and it synced just fine with only the standard BIOS in the folder.
The weird part is that I desynced with the world bios on 2.1.0 and just now it has synced all the way through. So this game is being a joke to me or something. >.>

Since I helped resync the movie to the correct BIOS (it was originally made entirely on the debug BIOS), I can try and fix this over the weekend.
Don't worry.

Right this needs to be pointed out for future reference on what not to do. The TAS uses 2 GBA bioses at once. The correct "World" bios and the "Debug" bios. In order for this to sync you must have both in the Firmware folder, and it automatically selecting the "World" bios. With "World" alone you desync at around 275k frames in. With "Debug" alone you desync at the very beginning at the game. With both however, you're able to get from Halfway and Absolutely Nowhere to a Complete TAS. From my guess the bios switches around 275k in to the Debug Bios and completes the rest of the game from there. Also one of the factors you wrote which was "Bios Skip: False" is actually set to true. This is a factor that doesn't matter since you're TASing on the mGBA core which ignores this field outright. Now we've had one TAS that actually just used the Debug cause it was the first time TASing GBAHawk but this one uses both and again as a first time to GBAHawk. Now we've had Arcade TASes predominately requiring backwards ass methods to sync compared to "just 2 GBA bioses are needed". So, do we have a problem on our hands with how either hardware changes or are we fine with crossing two different Bioses which the only known difference is the bootup sound being different? Something else to bring up the Header. The header file brings up this for the Bios being used: sha1:AA98A2AD32B86106340665D1222D7D973A1361C7 Now this is the Debug version, but remember Debug on its own can't even get out the gate, but we're being told it's this Bios even though it isn't it's both GBA bioses and that the World bios made us jump that gate.

TAS has very questionable mashing throughout as well as the mashing at the end where it's evident that the ending input passed a while back. I'll give it a watch through maybe when I can, but a flag I know that MUGG is quite serious about is that this was done on VBA which is very questionable at best for this game in particular.

Same mashing input. Different Submission. Please, take your time on these. Don't just spam them out. Abstaining the vote. Please use: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/ Instead of submitting if you're going to do the same thing again. Also please use the mGBA core for Donkey Kong Country 3 and not VBA-Next.

As it was brought up (and brought up again on irc), hows about Battletoads 2 player if it synced that is.

Author mentioned that his file went overboard on the ending input. I queried (well failed to) him about it and wondering if it was where he pressed everything, he stated it was. I booted up the run and TAS just to be sure. It was during a credits sequence that automatically ends on its own when you don't provide input. So cutting further back here is corrected ending input. User movie #41376071946261982 Only thing I can say is the damage abuse is questionable at best, and I can't really bother actually looking into it.

For Super Mario Bros. the TASes end at landing on the axe iirc.

To be fair I'm very lazy at the moment to create my own gif to be dead on the money. But I did provide the link to the ~11 seconds by referencing the -3 TAS that is an FDS TAS. I'll probably switch the gif later in which it'll be more accurate.

explain why they don't also support the FDS port obsoleting both runs?
Ok, this is the most stupidest point to make out of everything so far. TASes start from Power On. You know what a Famicom has from power on? This: From the gate you have already lost ~11 seconds that you can never recover. Unless you meant the -3 Ending that's already obsoletes the well... negative loop and is a different topic entirely.

The AGDQ 2018 games submission committee has asked us to submit TAS content. They have specifically asked us to focus on highly entertaining (and reasonably short or otherwise varied) content, and they have specifically asked us to avoid focusing on technical shenanigans for this event. Console verification is preferred where possible but not required meaning running TAS's in an emulator is acceptable for this event (although playing back videos is not acceptable). Good, practiced commentary is a must and having the authors of the run present is considered a bonus.

[1546] NES Gimmick! "100%" by Aglar & Hotarubi in 07:44.45 I need to point out one major thing that I have against this TAS. It needs to be updated before we actually consider it due to the glitches and newer tech that was found for it last year (or was it a year before). [2317] SNES Kaizo Mario World 3 by ISM, Mister in 17:11.23 Human > Bot Basically for the whole "Hold on to your butts," deal. [2966] GB Trip World by MUGG in 05:10.91 What beeping? [2994] GC Super Monkey Ball "Expert through Master" by byrz, CyclopsDragon in 12:55.18 Yes, second the craziness known as Monkeys in Balls going Super Sonic all over the place. [3350] Arcade Osman by xy2_ in 06:36.77 How dare you not bias properly! The correct way to bias is to grab the most ridiculous TAS that you've ever made and request it. Like s-- Oh... half my TASes are because the game itself is ridiculous... Carry on.

Seeing as TASVideos will be 15 years old next year (December) take this as more of a pitch for SGDQ18 than AGDQ18. The legacy TAS re-synced from Famtasia to Console: [668] NES Super Mario Bros. 3 "warps" by Morimoto in 11:03.95

I'm going to be reiterating my point again (and extending it cause fsvgm and Warepire aren't online). This is only one circuit out of all the circuits so again... This feels like a bum-rush when we have other racers that completes everything milking it dry. My vote will most likely be Meh once again... as once again this only completes a single circuit. Scratch that. My vote is No. You're aiming for second place again. I'd rather watch the Mario Kart TASes than watch this cause they actually get first.

As long as you make sure to upload it to your userfiles and not create a submission.

Please review the movie rules (particularly "The movie must be good") and Guidelines to see what kind of optimization level we expect from a submission for site publication.
And like the one I'm quoting this also has inappropriate timing for input ending... for a SMB TAS... late. So time can be shaved on input ending too besides the large amount dedicated to starting input. One of these games we don't recommend TASing for a newcomer is Mario Bros. it's a highly technical game... which shows as it has been TASed to death. It's also recommended to get a ROM that doesn't have two other games behind it.

I like the idea of TASVideos collecting single-level records for games like this where you CAN pick one level to play at a time.
How's about. Make a page dedicated to storing the information instead. Like I don't know. MUGG did. And you upload your stuff I don't know here: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/my#uploadfile

Besides the ~1100 frames of blank input, which drops this to a 05:43.37. (Give and take as SMB TASes end at Axe Grab) Your time is absolutely destroyed by another submission that's in the workbench currently which also uses the PAL version: #5617: HappyLee's NES Super Mario Bros. "PAL" in 04:55.16 This TAS won't get far to begin with. Abstaining.

And here's where I would provide single screen alt encodes with the red as second video choice... But I made a major mistake that I noticed after deleting the encodes (before you merge it). So whoops... and coming soon™.
