Memory's quite hazy on the details. 2000-2005 (Age: 4-9) I was at a mate's place and they had a PS1 game (black disk, racer (most likely colin mcrae)) and loaded it into the PC. Played a bit of that. Don't recall what emulator I used. Heck, I never knew I touched an emulator back then until actually having to think about that time. It could've been the legacy Virtual Game Station for Windows. And then that was clouded by playing Age of Empires 2 and man was I was having fun trying to figure out "how do you turn this on". Fast forward to 2009 (13) and the emulator that stuck with me for ~6 years was PSXfin. 2009 was roughly the time I first took my own dive into emulation on my own... and well first started ghosting TASVideos too.

Only comment I have about it is the publication screenshot has the incorrect aspect ratio, which should be 277x208. I guess you could just copy frame 686 from the final encode and it'd be fine?
Nope. Game when the ratio is corrected is that, however we have to use 1:1 (see: atrai publications) for screenshots. Also you read the AR numbers. Special no to second half as using the encode as the screenshot is worse.

They fixed their shit. The end: Link to video You have to reupload your video that you uploaded during that time frame as the video remains bugged out (see the other video).

Secret Team technically goes against the rules having a team of 5 not a team of 4. So... No. Side Note: Corrected the errors FatRatKnight listed. I've stated (before his post, on irc) there may be mistakes so if there is just tell me.

Creating a table using this. I'll make another post later when it's done. Edit: Not much activity which means I can just edit and go. HERE'S THE TABLE

Should I try to set something up for the PSP instead? Also if I went that route, would it be acceptable to load a cfw so i could connect a controller to it and run psx ISOs on it?
Yes to all that.

What could I get away with without verified runs being rejected by the community?
In my opinion you should start with what was available in the store then go to the route of games that never came to the store.

I'm just gonna rehash my point from here about using the PSN/PSTV/PSP instead of a PS1/PS2.
Spikestuff wrote:
Just bit more on the PSN side of things. The PlayStation allows users to purchase the Classics on the store and the loading times are consistent enough to warrant a run. The PSTV is considered the fastest with fast disk speed enabled out of the bunch with the PSP behind in a close second. So if you look into either one of the two (Both have games the other doesn't have... Oh yeah... PSP store is dead. Homebrew away~!) you'll have a more consistent result compared to the likes of an actual console.

I was going to do it until the whole desync thing which put me off and then Shima wrote that he'd do it:

I'll upload a temporary encode until we get the glitch fixed - expect that sometime tomorrow.
And there's nothing on his account (besides a v1) so... Shima where's the encode? I ain't doing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeup, that sync's on my end too! Anyone else having issues, or has Spike's version sorted it?
Do note that this is still your input that you provided through mediafire only that I corrected your large blank in input at the end like I wrote.

Suboptimal input right out the gate. Also: [[url=http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources.html#4]4[/url]] Movies using Snes9x v1.43 are not accepted unless a continuance is granted. Movies using Snes9x v1.51 or newer are accepted but the emulator is deprecated.

Playback your movie on a fresh Hawk and don't load a state. (And preferably on another computer)

clicks WAIT THE PLAYSTATION/PC VERSION!? OH SHIT! ENCODING COMING! ENCODING COMING! OUTTA MAI WAY! Actually, let me check one thing first. Then encode coming. Can you quickly remind me (since it's not mentioned) why saving is used, is it due to death abuse? Desync at Forest.

Oh boy, oh great. Somewhere between the period of our last 50fps encode (Giana Sisters) and now. YouTube has updated their stuff for watching it back at the lower res which means half framerate... right? Wrong. YouTube has made a mistake in their code where everything is doubled up when watching back at the should be halved framerate (25fps) compared to that of 30fps (halved 60) which in comparison is not doubling up. They cut the in-between crap but added in the doubling up and skipping the other frame (1,2,3,4,5 becomes 1,1,5,5,9,9 instead of 1,3,5,7,9). What do? Nothing... Absolutely nothing. Yell at YouTube... idk. Game that runs at half framerate to begin with are fine. Link to video

Hi small text viewers, this is when it was titled as: #5469: Valentin_Svet's SNES The Chessmaster, Variant Standart "Checkmate ,Variant" in 02:36.08 sees branch Nah, what else would you do in chess? Also, no such thing on that second part. Don't make it up. sees "game" So is this a hack now? sees refined annotations And now that's incorrect for annotating Chess moves. (Unless you're that guy) Edit: Let me update my post sees branch Nah, what else would you do in chess? No such thing on that second part. Don't make it up. Holy molly third one now. You're definitely making it up as you go along. sees refined annotations And now that's incorrect for annotating Chess moves. (Unless you're that guy)

Doesn't manipulate for Fool's Mate / Two-Move Checkmate (As Black) nor Scholar's mate / Four-Move Checkmate (As White). Also as a heads-up the NES version has a high reject rate.
