"Most users" comes from my unfixed post which comes from my 4-year-old memory. There has been discussion about how could existing problems with the Vault tier be fixed, and this name was a part of the most supported idea. Renaming doesn't magically fix a lot of things, it only fixes some. Not fixing anything was the most supported option of the poll, but polls don't reflect a lot of aspects either. While during actual discussion opinions may evolve and people can come up with improvements to others' ideas.

Off topic, but I like this idea. Keeps in line with using Mario 'power-ups' as the tier labels.
I personally find the Vault tier to be just fine as it is. The point of the tier was to accept any (or most) games on the site for record purposes. Naming it "Vault" makes sense because it acts as a archive for records on fastest completion and fastest 100% completion. I dont see how "Coins" would fit that description, and it might just cause confusion for a lot of people.

VirtualBox has settings as to whether you want to use the host hardware or not. Obviously anything tightly coupled to the host shouldn't be used. That's where Hourglass has also had issues, where games acted slightly differently depending on the video card used.
Well I can't check this particular case anymore, but the main question is, was VB even designed with determinism in mind? I think it takes a dedicated guru to dig into the code and do the checks, as well as through usage. But even though this environment would allow games more modern that PCem probably, I really doubt games that require modern hardware are going to work at tolerable speeds if at all.
By the time there appears someone to start this work, PCem might be already way ahead by what it supports. Also linux TASing is already a reality, and if Wine is possible to get to work, quite some Windows games also become available for TASing without speed decrease (unless you're on a VM of course).
Bottomline: there are several directions to explore, it just takes code maniacs.

It won't be widespread, because when you know how to do such runs, at some point the concept gets old and you aren't interested in making more and more submissions of it.

You can not argue with a general statement. There can be specific combinations in games that spawn new characters that you can not select before entering such combinations.
You can not have entered such a combination before starting the game. Because such a combination is only ever read after the game has already started. Which means if you don't enter this combination, you don't get this special character, and it won't be available from the start.

For numbers 6 and 7, I don't see these as reasonable or enforceable limitations. Plenty of games have content that is not explicitly detailed in-game or in user documentation, including special moves, secrets, and otherwise. Are all such content also not vault eligible? Or looked from the other perspective, if a developer explicitly lists a cheat code in a game manual, can using it be vaultable?
11 is not a clear concept. What is the functional difference between a set of inputs to generate content and a set of inputs to select pre-formed content? For MR2 specifically, it is not required to obtain a monster from the Market (pre-formed) to complete the game. It is optional to visit it at all, as you can obtain similar outcomes from the Shrine (generated). The only difference is that one method requires nonstandard input, while the other can be accessed with only controller data. If the nonstandard input is already regarded as part of the input set, the cases are identical.
Nonstandard input by itself I consider a normal input method for this game. But the key point is, what do you send as input data? Usually games tell which control does what in the game, it teaches you how to use controls. It may also teach you what codes you can send, and what they do. CD data here is a black box, and I don't think this can be contested. You do not know from the game instructions which CD bit does what in the game. This is used as a random seed, and it's supposed to look random when trying a new CD.
And using CDs is optional simply because you can complete the game without them. Both Shrine and Market are optional. In SMB, the A button is required, but the B button is optional. The Reset button is optional there as well. And the Start button is too
I don't think we need to draw any legitimacy lines between generated content and pre-formed content. We do not care which exact procedure is used to define your character. We only care how you enable this character in the game. By sending a specific input combination or by playing the game gradually and/or with glitches.

<feos> the thing is
<feos> this game Masterjun writes to fuck with our rules lets you collect icons of Nach, there are 20. and lets you kill an adelikat boss at level 5 that makes the game show the ending. you can avoid collecting the icons, and you have to kill adelikat to see the ending. then the game sets a timer and enemies just spawn and fly around killing you like in reallyjoel's mom difficulty. you dodge for 10 hours, you get some sort of full completion reward. what do?
<feos> it could be said that for such a game, we have both "100% completion" and "best ending" classes, and only the latter is vaultable? or only both?
<feos> any of these options being vaultable would be a community definition anyway
<feos> "both" being considered FULLER full completion would make sense for vault indeed, and be clear. but still loose, since it's compound
<feos> community decision is absolutely unavoidable
<feos> so in case of any possible competition for the vaultable 100% branch, we'd have to make a decision anyway
Bottom line: Arbitration Community Decision of Appeal is already described in the rules, it's called a clear consensus. So we don't even have to change anything.
22:56:34 <Masterjun> feos: I kind of want a text size 9 disclaimer at the bottom that I'm not actually making a game
PS: Difference between arbitrary and arbitration.

First, please don't call community definitions arbitrary. Call them loose, because they are still very strictly limited. They are loose within those limitations, and arguably loose compared to in-game definitions. But in no way arbitrary.
Second, nice digging! You're describing 2 kinds of full completion definitions competing for a place in the lowest tier! We need clear definitions of everything in the Vault, so arguably, the most clear one should win. But we can't have 2 such definitions, one being vaultable. We only view something certain as actually full, otherwise the term is pointless.
If in cases of conflicts regarding vaultability we prefer in-game definitions, then community definitions would have to be entertaining enough for Moons. For me this makes sense.
If we prefer community definitions, then something that's arguably more objective and official won't have a chance at alll.
If we prefer whatever is more complete for Vault, then the shorter one has to be moonable. This makes even more sense to me.
But the question remains, which one do we mark as "100% completion" movie class? I feel I need Nach's advice here.

Check out these changes guys. Approved by Nach.
http://tasvideos.org/diff.exe?page=MovieRules&rev=339&prev=337
Also if anybody knows games where no input combination is explicitly suggested by the game, yet most to all combinations spawn new content not present from the start (characters, abilities, modes, etc), please name them!

Yes but what should we do for compound goals that the community agreed to define as full completion? This may happen to be neither best ending nor max points. Completionist won't work either, because it might not be "maximize EVERYTHING!!!", just several different things.

FWIW, [3257] GBC Shantae "100%" by arandomgameTASer in 1:19:15.18 is called 100%, despite the game not tracking a percentage counter, or giving you any reward for getting everything in the game.
I don't really see the problem with 100% tbh. As long as the criteria are well defined and it covers everything in the game world, what's the problem?
100% is defined as all transformations, all items, which includes every collectible in the game. This means GBA mode has to be enabled to get the Tinkerbat transformation.
I feel that if full completion consists of more than a single maximized unit in a movie, we should use "100%" rather than "all X", because otherwise it'd result in bloated branch labels. But if it can be deduced to just one unit, we must use that unit.
If the game shows percentage, and maximizing it is all we need for full completion, we can use N%. But if there are extra goals decided to belong to full completion, this becomes moot. Because we don't limit ourselves to the in-game goal, yet we use its name...

If that glitch setup is used in a new movie, but not here, this one can still be accepted, depending on the details of the difference between using the glitched setup and avoiding it.

If we complete this game even faster by using this glitch, it will stop being related to our fundamental speedrunning rules. So the current movie is fastest completion, and it is a valid publication for this game! And if a movie avoiding the glitch is faster, it will obsolete it for real.

Precisely this was discussed many times years ago. I'm glad it's finally been implemented.
The first suggestion for this flag was 4 years ago:
I can draw a movie flag for "fastest branch" in a few minutes, and all will be happy: all who want to know the fastest one would instantly know it, all who want to know the conditions would see it in the labels.
Recently, after this happened, and adelikat expressed that he honestly does not like how we dropped the blank label that used to equal any%, I felt that we have to give people who need this some helping hand.
Warp wrote:
Back when this was discussed, the question arose whether "fastest completion" means that absolutely anything goes, no matter what. In other words, even if the run just jumps from the main menu to the end credits in a fraction of a second (as has been demonstrated to be possible, even with console verification, at least in one case), literally showing no gameplay (or even the main menu itself) at all.
Has this question been resolved with a simple "yes", or are there some more complex criteria?
If you look at the RTA community, they have several "any%" branches, distinguished by some limitation or feature, for example "any%, no major skips". This happens because they explicitly use the very term "any%" in their branches, and we don't. So for them it has to be something descriptive (a string), and for us it's just a flag (a boolean). We use branch labels for brief indication of what to expect from a movie, and "any%" as "fastest completion" has been completely disregarded (no offense Nach, we all basically agreed with you there).
Ever since then I've been playing with this idea every so often, and my most fundamental solution was this:
We have an entire movie tier dedicated to exactly this: a clear and obvious definition of the "fastest completion" branch. It happens to have different labels and movie classes, because they are used for different purposes, but we still depend on being able to figure out what a vaultable any% branch for any given game is. Without knowing this, we won't be able to decide whether some boring movie has to be accepted to Vault or rejected. So TASVideos does use a certain definition of any%/fastest completion. Therefore we can document it. Therefore we can explicitly use it for the purpose people wanted the blank branch for: indication of a clear and obvious binary thing that speedrunning is all about.
The only definition for this flag that we can productively use is the one we're already using when judging movies: it should belong to every vaultable branch that is not "full completion" (which is another single vaultable branch.
And here we just note that if several branches are fundamentally allowed for Vault aside from "full completion", they all belong to any%. Good thing we have descriptive branch labels: when someone sees 2 branches for a given game have this flag, they also see what the difference is by simply looking at the labels. It was a very good idea to keep those labels in official movie names.
[3185] NES Inversion by MESHUGGAH & jhztfs in 05:18.91[3187] NES Inversion "Extra world" by MESHUGGAH & jhztfs in 01:16.44[3271] SNES Prince of Persia by Challenger & Odongdong in 33:31.20[3670] SNES Prince of Persia "Training mode" by Challenger in 03:31.10
Two vaulable movies distinguished by the region. God this is so neat!
[1302] NES EarthBound Beginnings (Prototype) by Nitrodon in 47:56.08[3714] NES EarthBound Beginnings (Japan) "warp glitch" by chatterbox in 23:07.85
To finally answer to your question, since avoiding things like a "game end glitch" for games where it's possible is not vaultable, we can't use such a flag for them. And that is our borderline that is inherent to our definition of any%, which is in turn inherent to our definition of the Vault tier (which I'd still love to be renamed to Coins).

So to actually define full completion for a given game, we can't have strict rules, but we can have guidelines that would let us understand how to even handle this.
Here's what has been agreed on, on IRC:
Read the manual.
See what the game tracks, recognizes, awards for.
Check what existing speedrun community does.
Talk to the community and try to come up with an agreement.
Keep the definition clear and solid considering the above factors.
I added the last point to indicate that when people are brainstorming, we must encourage them to come up with clear and solid definitions, but we still rely on the community decision.
So if everyone agrees that this movie's goals should be considered full completion for this game, at least for tasvideos, we can consider it vaultable.

Since this goal is a fundamental one for speedrunning in general, and it tightly relates to our rules, and the audience likes to know this information, this flag is now a reality.
The icon for it will be this whenever Nach adds it to the site:
Suggest rules clarifications and movies to flag.

01:40:25 <feos> adelikat: what does your heart say about this CD based game?
01:40:43 <feos> (or guts, whatever you use for such things)
01:41:26 <adelikat> that it isn't worth worrying about :P
01:41:44 <MemoryTAS> wait until we have amiibo etc to deal with
01:41:51 <feos> so we keep it in the queue forever?
01:41:51 <MemoryTAS> that's gonna be fun
01:41:53 <adelikat> but honestly, it sounds like this feature is part of normal gameplay
01:42:34 <adelikat> that was the reasoning for zelda up+a, it's part of normal gameplay
I can interpret this: even though you don't know the bit combination you are supposed to send to unlock a certain character, and every combination is arguably secret (not known beforehand from anywhere), every combination is valid as well, so every combination is known, and is known to work!

So if everyone agrees that this movie's goals should be considered full completion for this game, at least for tasvideos, we can consider it vaultable.
Whether or not we should use the "100%" label, is still to be discussed. The guidelines make an exception for counting things other than percentage:
When counting some units instead of percents, apply similar logic.
Refer to collecting all items as "all X".
Using this approach has been agreed on by Nach as I said, but in cases when the full completion goal is a compound one in its nature, maybe using "100%" is just the neatest solution, rather than "all X, all Y, all Z, all [, all \, all ], all ↑, all ←".
As for MMX, the Mega Man series just weren't revised regarding branches and new labeling rules. Only SMB and Pokemon games were IIRC.

My take is that while this movie does collect all the permanent items and upgrades, which could lead to the 100% movie class, it aims for more stuff beyond this movie class. It also gets the best ending, which is a different movie class, and it also aims for full map, which we don't have a movie class for, and we haven't ever considered such a goal a part of full completion.
If we want "100% map" (or something along these lines) to be considered a part of the full completion goal for a game, we need it to originate from the game recognizing this goal as a part of full completion.
In Super Metroid, "100% map" is not a part of full completion. We limit full completion there to just "all items", and this is what the game cares about, awarding you with a 100% screen, which officially states that you've collected them all.
If for this game we can agree that everything this movie does can be clearly checked in-game as N out of N, then the game does recognize our completion in all these aspects. If some of them the game doesn't care about, we can't say they clearly and officially belong to full completion.
If a game explicitly encourages you to complete N out of N something, it's an easy case, the most obvious, official definition for such a game. If the game just recognizes fullness of something, it is also easy, like "all levels" in SMA4 (don't remember if the game encourages that). But in SMB3, the game doesn't recognize your "all levels" goal, so we decided not to call it full completion for SMB3.
In cases where nothing is encouraged or recognized by the game as possible to complete fully, there's no clear and obvious way to define full completion. If my information about this game is correct, this movie does some things beyond clear and obvious, vaultable full completion. If so, it's unvaultable.
Since the game does not have any percentage counter, we can't use N%, which is exactly what the publisher guidelines say (agreed by Nach). In such cases we use "all X". But yet again, this run aims for more than just "all X". It aims for "all X, all Y, all Z", and some of these were decided by me (with the information I had) as not parts of the vaultable full completion goal.
If we agree that it's not vaultable, we need to come up with a label that reflects the goals the most accurately, if possible. So we just have to agree on something. I'm open for discussion.

I'm only saying that it's still totally boring, even with this feature. It's bad from the general audience perspective. Novel idea, effort invested into making it all work within its genre, nothing really interesting to actually play.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
