I want to take a break from publishing, need to concentrate on an article I'm writing.
It's finished!

Interestingly, mvtools 2.5.11.3 crashes for me with Osman HD encode, when I use original aspect ratio. It doesn't when I pick 4:3, even though the source is 4:3 already, and sar options aren't used in HD command line!
2.5.11.20 doesn't crash.
I was just about to debug, but since I worked around it, nah.

Sorry, no Desert Bus will ever be published. Superplay requires some room for being super, losing quality standards doesn't make the site better overall.

Well I'm not really an IRC person, but I'm happy fixing bugs on the side, it's fun :)
Also it's a nice break from TASing.
You don't have to be there all the time. Just log in from time to time (like me). The result is just easier than constant PRs.

Updated the build. I guess I'll link it from the OP.

I was under impression those links are just so that Nach could upload them to tasvideos. But they could be mirrored anyway, because history.

LOL, I managed to build it.

The license of this thing is quite interesting. Are there any experts around, that could tell if it's theoretically possible to post the modified source to github? Otherwise, we can only distribute patches, like gnupoc does. Because there's no way to actually make sure the one who decides to obtain the sources is in fact a licensee.

I fixed one case leading to this back then, do you have the repro steps?

There's also this open source emulator from Sun:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javame-419430.html#MIDP-2.0-OTH-G-F
It works (after some real magic), but has little to no sound, and doesn't support some more complex midlets. But it's written in C. In theory, it could be turned into a rerecording thing. It's not for msvc though.
The easiest way to use it is:
midp -install URL-to-the-jar-file
midp -run the-resulting-storage-entry
The screen is fixed and small btw, so this also would need hacking.

Sinister said McHazard was tasing it. But that's from a year ago. The main thing is that it should be done 1 player, because then you can skip a shitload of enemies, while using 2 players lets you skip none. And to make that warp glitch work, the second turtle needs to be spawned, and then killed.

If the ports are different, both will be publishable.

Tried to recover branch 0. It wasn't fully saved, and had some files missing. I took laglog from an irrelevant branch, so you might want to regreenzone it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1c5nxqqre9i84c/GHv2-eh.tasproj?dl=0
In such cases remove the branches from the project file, and it will open. Or remove only those whose files aren't all there.

There's no question whether it is arbitrary in itself or not. The question is: Is it arbitrary enough to not publish it as yet another branch?
Yes, it is too arbitrary to be published as a separate branch. It wouldn't be so, probably, if there was only 1 published branch of SM at tasvideos. But we try to reduce the amount of branches to only have those that are meaningful to have as a TAS, which means they all represent unique features that can't be seen in other runs, and that the goals of those branches are solid enough.
So even if this was submitted before the first "all items" run, the latter would obsolete it, due to being more solid as a goal and having a lot of overlapping content.
Yes, this thread is where people can discuss the qualities of the run itself, and what they feel about it. But it won't help if it simply doesn't fit into the site by the rules we have. Everyone also liked the MM9 run which had that cheat to switch weapons. It was reasonable to some people for such a run to be made. But it didn't help, since it didn't fit into the site by the rules.
And no, the rules are not set in stone to be obeyed blindly. They simply express some basic principles we all consider the most important. Exceptions happen when the principles are challenged by some fantastic content that those rules wouldn't imagine, but they are extremely rare and obviously stand out in the first place. "GT code + arbitrary code execution" was exceptional. Right here though, it's not an exceptional case.

Yea, I think this may be a poorly implemented feature. I'm the one who started the thread you referenced, btw, and I don't want the 'bug' to stop happening, I just want to be able to control it. It is useful in some situations. Also, is there an easy repro setup for a project with lots of input already? That would be great if you knew of one.
Here's some hint as to how to control it: when you are appending the movie via drawing, the last frame's input gets stuck as autohold. Another example: https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/issues/534
