As one of the authors of this movie, I'd like to know what looks so suboptimal that it warrants a tech rating less than 8.
Do you still take given ratings seriously? Actually this is the first time I give untrue rating at all. And it's untrue only for Technical value. Zero entertainment is perfectly reasonable: after I watched an atari game I felt disgusting (I played atari at the age of 8 and nothing had changed). Then I wished to see how people rate it. "10/10". Okay. Fuck seriousness after that. People seem to rate for fun (I never did).
EDIT: Originally I put 1 for tech quality for being an undistinguishable mess, not a run of a game. Even reversed and optimized, some "games" still provide just NO room for a serious TAS, just for messing around. Also, entertaimnent here is that bad it affects tech value hard.

Allowing arbitrary ratings seems off.

Perfect! Having a complete map it would be trivial to TAS, comparing to keeping all in mind.

Hey guys. I accidentally yt:stretch tag for an Arcade video. What should I do? Is this dangerous?

The question is: Does it depend at all? I'd spend them on entertainment obviously.

BTW, in Battletoads & Double Dragon there's a cheat that gives 10 lives. It would be useful for a Playaround. Is that not acceptable too?

Is there any kind of debug mode or something that prevents rotation and allows to fly through the map? If so, I can do something myself.

This needs investigation! I could call this exact kind of game over pretty fast, but it never resulted in game end.

Bump. This game requires a map to be TASed well, I'm reminding PJ we had some plans on mapping it.

It means don't take some kids too seriously. Anyway, post WIPs here, we love that.

I'd say it's good enough game choise, since the notion on that thing has been softened (see Garfield). It's pretty fast-paced and differs enough from the Genesis version. The colors may be brightened back by patching the ROM.
The routes are rather complicated and therefore interesting to see. I'd like the improvement to be applied here and resubmitted.
EDIT: according to DK, Metroid and CV should have never been TASed. As I can't see anything making this game look worse.

An animated action movie in vein of old console games. Inspired by and partially borrowed from games like Mortal Kombat, BattleToads, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, and Street of Rage. Chinese movies of 80s-90s starring Jackie Chan and other actors as well as the famous cartoon called xiao xiao.

Turn off rewind and all features that can take additional powers. I got nes and snes running at 60.

Try 2.1.6 (where it was done). Works perfectly for me.

Odongdong:
Music moves were in NES warped toads. I'd wish that feature to become a TAS visiting card, a trend.

Okay, I built it myself, and have 2 nitpicks:
Some DLLs are still outside dll folder, also backdrop checkbox and user color aren't remembered on debugger exit.

Are you going to improve the movie?
EDIT: Watched now. I was pretty disappopinted that you didn't redo level 2 and the tunnel. But though the former still looks okay, the tunnel race looks just empty. Also you didn't do any "music moves". Entertainment: 6.5.

Last message to me from Zlomus was from 1.10.2012. Also, he isn't working on bug submitted here, once he gave that link, he started investigating the Reset bug (which was very unlikely to reproduce really, due to code specifics). I'll write him on YT, but I guess he was meaning the movie I linked, as it was fixed by me to contain 1 more frame. And I keep suggesting adding MESHUGGAH. I'll ask him about that too.
