Whenever there are news, I will just make a post.

I actually meant Jabo. From your posts about SM74, it seems to be the only plugin to use for dumping, since you need to restart mupen, which will probably make it desync again with Glide.
Also, use this trick for such huge images:

Am I the only one who thinks that once SGDQ feels problematic to afford for dwangoAC, there's no hard need to travel? I, for one, don't have a right to require AC to spend his efforts (and money) on a less meaningful event, if those efforts (and money) will anyway be spend on a more meaningful one later too. SGDQ feels more like a way to spend "spare" resources on, and I'm not sure there are on dwango's side (not to disparage your abilities, Alan, I'm just caring about SGDQ not becoming a trouble).

It's a habit over here to use the best anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering options possible. And yes, emulators that allow dumping at high resolutions should be dumped at them for HD encodes whenever possible, like that 1536p, then it needs no upscaling and looks the best. For SD encodes though, you'd need to test what looks the best: dumping at native res with multisampling, or at hires with downscaling.

As for Mupen, I think Glide doesn't allow multisampling, while, for example, Rise does. Is it correct?

Nah. I can understand random people wanting it to be published and voting Yes on that ground, but was it entertaining? Was it even an actual playaround? Not anything that's not speed-oriented is necessarily a playaround. You know, playaround is in fact one of the hardest branches ever to do right. Because it involves deep knowledge and great execution, but also it needs a game that is complex enough. Bonus points for using 2 players.
Here... we have some obscure (due to being Japanese-only and anime-based, even though this anime was popular) game, with 1 character beating enemies with a narrow moveset for half an hour. Probably I am missing something, but I see zero room for a playaround that this game could offer. Even with 2 characters (dunno if it's possible) it won't attract me at all. I watched 5 minutes of it, FF'd for quite a bit, looked at it, and saw nothing worth keeping watching.
It's a great game for Vault, but speed/entertainment trade-offs (let alone playarounds) simply don't belong here. Voted No.

The game says it only supports up to 6, but honestly I've not tried 8, so it may work. Try it out and let us know!
It is what I've been using with no complaint from the game.
Also, WHO CAN EDIT THE FREAKING MOVIE?!

Archanfel: it's really nothing bad to post a separate reply, and it's easier to find.

So can someone edit the movie to include the entire ending song loop? PM'd the author, no response yet.

Hi everyone, I am thinking of encoding my TASes in 1440p. Is there a way to fool my mupen (which I have just got to work in my VM) to display at 1440P without breaking it. my computers screen is displayed as 1280 x 800.
In other words. I want to make mupen record at 1440p while inside of the VM.
Hope this helps, sorry for bad description in advance ;)

I think it's impossible to record offscreen stuff, maybe a VideoForWindows thing. For me the end picture is what I set, but the image gets cut beyond my screen resolution.
Ah, but you forget, this is inside a VM. Set the VM Desktop resolution to be bigger than your capture resolution and you can capture in 1440p. The VM software would either rescale or add scroll bars.
What VM software are you using?
Ediy: Sorry feos, I knew of this solution a long time ago, but I didn't think you would want to go through the trouble of setting a VM just to capture, lol.
I tested today going crazy with resolutions higher than my screen and .kkapture, and it works perfectly on win7 x64 with no VMs. Mupen64, pcsx, doom... I bet it will work with BizHawk's N64 video too.

I think we must judge that by how wide is Doom speedrunning, and how many movies are going to be in that section if we choose a separate platform. Otherwise we should prefer consistency and just go with DOS.

As it's accepted, I'm already looking into publishing it. But I have a question: does the ending music loop? Is the entire 1 loop included in the movie? If not, how can I extend it to do so? Or maybe I'd ask the author to do it (if only there's more music after this movie's end).

Music needs to carry some sort of "new meaning" to be considered fair use. And while for standalone music it's not hard to tell if it gets new meaning by becoming a part of a new installation, game music was supposed to play while you're playing, and TASes add literally nothing to this. But my "personal sense" tells me that only posting game OSTs (standalone) really violates copyright. And it may very well be completely false.

Okay, to whoever is going to publish it. Please PM me before doing so, I think we need to figure out all about resolutions on IRC all together.

Didn't think of level order. And no, I wasn't going to harm enemies at all.

As was obvious after the submission, it needs a single use of arrow to allow the more important category to stay solid. "Pacifist" is first, "no subweapons" is second, and that second will be bended.

Re: SMB inside SMW.
Fair use allows using the entire copyrighted piece of work as long as your resulting work is still transformative enough, and if it additionally is a non-profit one, and finally, if it's in no way trying to compete for the same market as the original.

Moved to SourceForge, saved 2 more frames in level 1.
https://sourceforge.net/p/feos-tas/code/860/tree/trunk/TAS%20WIPs/DarkwingDuckPacifist-compact.fm3?format=raw
Subpixel manipulation doesn't do much aside from some tricks, but the lag picture I was getting at that climbing up part killed any speedups, so it was left untouched. Improved dodging the green tossers, saved improvements through the boss fight, which was simplified unexpectedly.

For the sake of discussion, isn't it technically legal though to own a ROM image, provided you also own a copy of the actual game?
Could this be an argument to retain rights in keeping a TAS or playthrough video uploaded?
Yes. Emulation itself has always been an area of "undefined behavior", I haven't seen a single official statement about rights (and lefts) of those who emulate games. It's believed that emulation is okay as long as you own the original. But in no way was that questioned by people who decided to kill TAS encodes. They just said so, period. "I died because the game said I died." They are certain emulation has no rights. Which is as stupid as it can be honestly. Because indeed the laws ruling copyright problems are simply outdated.
Warp: that was my opinion, and I don't care how legally correct it is.
