It's a known problem with win10 and we can't figure out how to solve it.

Soig, I google-translated your reply to English and I'm sorry that it happened this way.
Xipo, we always encourage open collaboration or open competition on this site. If you shared that WIP in the Contra Force thread, it would be a known record indeed, and any future TASer could easily incorporate your strategies or even work with you on finishing the run. I should agree that it's not helpful to anyone when an unknown unfinished movie is posted to compete with a complete run. It won't be open and fair competition, because incorporating such improvements may require redoing the whole run, and that can be highly demotivating when a faster WIP is only posted when it's too late. Please consider posting your abandoned projects, because then someone else can make then alive again! But posting them when it's too late, I should admit it's not entirely fair.

What matters is basic ending routines. Once you trigger them, and they mostly successfully run, it's been completed. We're not blindly relying on visuals, any doubt is resolved by checking game code.

Apparently, Contra III doesn't seem to have SRAM feature, and the game simply goes back to the intro sequence after the player presses START on the FINAL SCORE screen in question.
Does this mean the "game end glitch" category is still valid since the game behaves the same when beaten with that glitch?
Is there some context on why you're asking this?

Where can we consider that a track is complete ?
- When the In-Game Timer stops.
- When the character stops moving. (in private eye both were at the same time)
- An other ending point.
Go for the latest meaningful event, be it character, or IGT, or music stopping.

Also what about Smurfs Rescue in Gargamel's Castle? Do we keep it like this because all skills are loaded automatically by the game or do we have to redo it because we could chose next skills before the game loads them and if so what is the completion point of skills? when the character stops or when the music ends or an other thing?
You don't need to redo anything, it's already explained in the judgment.
ViGadeomes wrote:
**Second question : For the last track,what goal should be reached ?
- ending the tracks without avoiding obstacles (sure not)
- ending the track avoiding obstacles and privilege the IGT ( all tracks will be completed with the fastest IGT even when there is 2 random tracks)
- ending the track and privilege the TAS time ( all tracks will be complete as quickly as possible unless the last track)
Use the same goal as for the rest of the movie.

If different separate games are available in a game could we make the rules eazier by saying that all games have to be done within one movie ? Or if it's not mentioned which of the games has to be done ?
Maybe adding these points in the rules would be interresting.
Thanks in advance and sorry. If i don't have to redo one or all these TASes, let me know.

Bump. A lot of new TASers have arrived. How do you guys do it?

This determinism problem is just that TASes made on Windows won't sync on other operating systems, and vice versa. So while not using the versions that has that problem would be preferable, it is still possible to TAS on them. (Also, the problem technically existed before 5.0-10039 but wasn't as exposed back then.)
I'm not saying it's not working, I'm saying it shouldn't be used for movies meant for TASVideos, because not a lot of judges and publishers can run both OS's.

And the executable I needed to run was runner, not UNDERTALE.

It's a nice movie with complex gameplay, good execution, and high ratings, but it's also rather long and has those repeating sounds... hard to sit through the entire thing if you're just a layperson. I'd wait for any%.

Thank you for testing optimality. I intend to work on this TAS on the next week, basically doing those tasks what I wrote in my previous post in this thread.
How is it going?

Maximum points or score is allowed as a full-completion category under the following conditions:

The Tetris run didn't complete the game, and it was accepted only because it was immensely entertaining for a lot of people (even tho it's just the same pattern repeated over and over). It counts as max score, but not as a vaultable replacement for full completion.

I used this script to disaplay inputs:

Interestingly, it's rotated, because that's how mame displays vertical screens.
