Adding new post for the judge:
1. I believe you don't need fast CPU to go through walls judging from the linked video, which starts a windows 95 in safe mode (no other information known. all I can guess is the uploader probably used VirtualBox or something similar to record it):
Link to video
To make sure, someone should actually try to go through (edit) the walls in the zig-zag rooms (probably easier to go through walls on slope (non 0-90-180-270) angle walls.
VirtualBox is not an emulator, so it's not indicative of that glitch being independent from CPU speed. A good test could be trying this in PCem (or 86Box) with different CPU speeds. It didn't go OOB when I hit the wall in the submitted setup.

2. The gameplay is very short, I don't understand why is it accepted if I already wrote down possible improvements....
You mentioned OOB as one, which is not confirmed in the submitted setup, and it's worth making it a separate category if indeed it depends on CPU being too fast.

3. Community vetted: 6 players with 15 runs and 23 followers.... I hope this trend of "accept what speedrun.com says" is not used that much, because I saw horrors on that site regarding this.
We never accept something automatically just because they do. The only questionable aspect here was the exact endpoint, and it's by design allowed to be community vetted, because in some cases it's unclear what is an endpoint objectvely. I reviewed it and I can't come up with a better endpoint definition that'd look better to more people than this does.

4. I've forgot the name of the TAS that was probably GC Spiderman inputting a password that erronously plays the credit instead of activating the cheat. It has more gameplay than this TAS.
The community agreed to retire the triviality ban, which is why we added a (community vetted too) videogame definition.

I tried adding the credits glitch in and it's a fucking nightmare!!!
Hourglass is completely unusable and crashes all the fucking time even if you disable the things it tells you to disable. That glitch is completely impossible to test because if you hit S at the wrong times the credits will drag for too long in the glitched form, and if you die from that apple and return to gameplay loading a state will freeze everything completely.
I'll accept this movie and leave this bullshit for whoever is crazy enough to try adding this "potential improvement" in.

I would be interested in hearing how the PS1 handles it, as it's the console that immediately comes to mind when I think of disc swapping tricks.
I can't be sure it's safe to proceed without this technical insight. Does anyone know this detail, or maybe where to look for it?
I talked to people on PSX.Dev discord and they told me this:
It's possible for games to detect lid opening ("the mechacon sends an error interrupt if you open the shell; no, most games did not handle this"), which resets the "disc valid" flag.
It's impossible to detect disk removal.
If you open the lid, replace the disk, and close the lid, that disk will be checked for validity (by trying to read the wobble groove, which restores the "disc valid" flag if it succeeds) and then the TOC will be read. Then the game could "check for some expected file on the disc when the lid is closed again" to see if it's a disk it wants. Retail PSX games didn't do this tho.
It's impossible to detect disk swap altogether if the lid sensor was manually pressed and held in place. Lid opening won't be detected until you release the sensor. The old TOC persists and any new disk you insert is treated like the old disk is still there.
It's possible to periodically verify data on a given "current" disk, but it's completely impossible to bail out the instant it's wrong-swapped. Because no matter how often you check validity of the current data, the swap may happen between the checks and then there'd be completely different code running. Reading from the disc is not instant either.
Thanks to Stenzek, spicyjpeg, and smf!
So we can't say that "failing to detect an erroneous swap" is the developer's fault and a bug, if the disk was swapped without letting the lid sensor know that the lid was opened. If we close the lid normally, play the game, open it again and put in the wrong disk, or the right disk but at the wrong time, then it's up to the game to check its validity and refuse to proceed.
But it'd be weird to differentiate those 2 in emulation, because there we're not forced to close the lid in order to launch the game, and there's no way to emulate whether it was closed for real or whether we just fooled the sensor without closing it...

No, even with lua you can't extend the screen in fceux.

I can't help but feel these are cheat codes, and since they don't add gameplay they can't go to Standard. Fine for Alt tho, just with a branch label highlighting them.

That's not a trade-off then, but an entirely new goal, because gameplay is vastly different. Sounds like a great goal for the Alternative class, I just can't come up with a nice label for it that wouldn't be too long and still specify the 2 avoided tricks.

1. No Hyper speed side attacks (HSSA): by alternating the accelerator and side attack button every frame you can spam side attacks faster than the usual cap of one every 8 frames.
A run that uses this technique will typically spam it to gain height and pseudo-spacefly to the end of the lap.
Here is an example of HSSA in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRC4hYYRaz4
Is there a video of how it'd look without HSSA? Not necessarily that same track, but ideally 1 with HSSA and 1 without for the same track.

So long story short restricting these techniques still allow for insanely fast times, but they would traverse more of the track and showcase much more of the gameplay.
Please let me know if these restrictions would be allowed on a published run because that is my ultimate goal. I can also provide more information if needed.
How much longer would a movie avoiding them both be compared to absolute fastest with them, approximately?

Homebrews are judged like normal games, there's no database for them like there are for hacks.
Prerelease versions are fine if there's no release ones, and they may be obsoleted by the movie of the latter.

In the IWBTG thread there's mention of a way to glitch the credits to get the final input sooner. Is that done in the submission?
It isn't, and I feel it's a weird edge case. It's arguably post-completion territory, where additional input required after the ending can be moved to a separate movie meant for encoding, tho it's preferred to keep it in the main one. The game is completed, the rest is mostly downtime, and actual completion is what matters when comparing records anyway.
On the other hand, you can't see the full ending if you die there by doing nothing: it's not an annoying dialog that you just have to skip, it's a projectile that you have to actively avoid, so also arguably part of gameplay. Arguably too, seeing maximum glitching is cooler, and if we're already allowing them all why not also this one? Yet another point is knowing absolute minimal record time needed overall.
All things considered, I'm in favor of optimizing the ending sequence as well.

That list is obsolete. It was created when game entity was first added and it was all manual. Now we have Wiki: Movies and Wiki: Games/List that solve all of the navigation problems automatically. I'd just remove Wiki: MoviesList as well as Wiki: Games (and move Games/List to Games instead).

I have no clue how to make a .net winforms program produce audio, other than playing pre-recorded audio files. Also the emulator just runs at top speed, and I don't really know the best way to force a winforms program to run at a specific speed, so if it did currently produce audio, it would likely be sped up and incorrect. I honestly haven't done much research into those two problems, but that's the current state of the emulator. Someone else mentioned that this emulator also doesn't have an AVI encoder... perhaps if I get something like that working, as long as the encode sounds correct then the lack of real-time audio wouldn't be as big of an issue? I'd have to look into that though, and I have no idea how long that would take.
I'm sure bizhawk devs on our discord can give you some advice on this. Meanwhile if someone writes a parser for those movies we can send this movie to Wiki: Playground.

I'm seeing an ending in 6130 but not in this submission. Is it still accessible after getting 107%? Turns out the movie plays past that ending.

Can you talk about character choice? There's only 1 mention in the submission notes but what about the rest of the game overall?
