Tried to open Debugger window. Shows that and closes the emulator (for any core).
I know it's unfinished, just saying what it does for me.

Carl Sagan: Don't worry, the moons tier allows as many unique categories published as we want. Just takes someone to make a run using all the tricks except jump to game end (and audience support). Exactly what happened to Rockman.
[1686] NES Mega Man by Shinryuu & finalfighter in 12:23.34[2601] NES Mega Man "game end glitch" by pirohiko & finalfighter in 00:32.11
That's how we divide between any% (with major skip glitch) and any% (no major skip glitch). Both are any%, and both are considered the true any% category!!!11 (c) by different people.

Tried out dumping with different options. For anything other than PixelPro, it dumps segmented by resolutions (what we want), but some of the segments look like this (what we don't want):
Otherwise, the general preference for dumping is going to be the Debug mode, since we need the exact picture dumped, that will then be resized to the gameplay resolution.

Tested with GPGX.
GDI+: 35 fps @ 3x, 45 fps @ 2x.
OGL: 40 fps @ 3x, 85 fps @ 2x.
And yes, the option didn't exist in the latest release.

Actually, it is activated when you kill the red enemy near where the 'F' path opens up. Although I can't yet determine why this one enemy triggers this bit or what effect it has.
You would need to find an exclusive room where that particular bit is read.

Alright, here are the videos. What you see?
Link to videoLink to video
I have no idea what YT does to the video, but what I see in Opera/Mozilla/Crome@60 is exactly what I see when I download it from YT: "deblinked" has zero changes whatsoever, "full fps" is 30 fps with some algorithm of dropping frames. To figure it out, I'm going to stack them horizontally and compare frames.
http://rghost.ru/private/59823398/bfd2d4e7d1c78a732b5917dfaae0a2e0
Comparison video shows the frame number. Preparing the listing...
Just as expected. We blend what we need and drop every other frame.
Bottom line: YT's super hyper wise algorithm for 60 fps footage is exactly what we would do 4 years ago. The only difference is that we went a different path: we used drop to 25 fps (ChangeFPS(25)), then instead of dropping 0, 1, 2 (SelectEvery(6,0,1,3)), we developed TASblend. Remember how it was hyped about? Then we developed deblink. It was perfect, except for backgrounds shaking at 30fps. Why was it perfect? Because developers used 30 fps blinking as a feature, it was displayed ideally translucent on TV. When they didn't want that, they simply did 15 fps blinking, and it looked as an ideal blinking.
Now if someone is going to say that we must jump 4 years back and return to dropping frames, because suddenly we start preferring something random to what developers were intending to do, and to what TV showed, sorry, but it's absurd.

If you compare 60fps and 30fps deblinked, 60 fps is superior.
I see no proof of that in my version of reality.

No need to test. YT likely will drop every other frame or so. Blending frames into one another wouldn't make sense for them, because there's no (in general) right way to do it.
There is need. It's people saying that deblink is obsolete/does worse than YT.

Wow, that drama. As I always take things, and as I said in another thread Flygon was super dramatic about, once there's a proof that something is actually better, we will agree that it's better. Now I only need to test once again what we see when 30 fps blinking is youtubed at 60 fps. Note: it must be not blinking stuff, it must look semi-transparent (the exact way it looked on TVs). Hold on.
EDIT: Oh god, it wasn't not deblinked properly, it was not deblinked at all! Spike, what happened?

You're going to keep making such encodes, right? Hint: Encoder rank.

I have not; I'm unsure what to do with them considering I can't upload to the speed runs collection :/
No problem, just make a Community Video (or whatever is default) collection. Refer to the Publication Manual for filenames.

When resizing EmuHawk window, maximum emulation speed dramatically changes, by 2x as well. Is it known/intended?
