Does it keep all the intermediate images too? I'm seeing Rust for the first time :D

Congrats on finishing it!!!
Please tell me which code snipped dumps the framebuffer currently. There are lots of ways to reduce the filesize without killing the quality.

If you record a movie, it should be theoretically possible to examine. MAME-RR must have trace logger functionality and memory viewer, for basic investigation, but also debugger with breakpoints for full analysis. Dunno who'd be able to participate in reverse-engineering your trick though.

Is there anything else that is planned to change while I'm redoing it?

Brilliant, now I'll have to wait for it to finish uploading (since it'd stuck in the uploader queue forever if it's unfinished)., and the reencode it again.

It's not disallowed, it's just non-existent in the forum codebase. And I don't see a reason to prevent pastebin.

This what? It launches the credits because they don't start automatically, and ends there.

Question: Since there have been years without an ideal TAS emulator for Arcade (all current ones have crashes and desync and other issues), how hard would it be for BizHawk to work with Arcade? Is it almost impossible, or just a matter of time? Thanks. :)

Can you upload the tasproj somewhere?

If those publications don't have verification movies, I don't know what is "approved" in them.

That being said, the title screen actually does fade into the highscore list every few seconds, if I recall correctly. There is music playing that the viewer otherwise can't listen to. It rounds up the run nicely and the previous runs did the same, so that's why I think it should be that way.
Bubble Ghost also got granted the title screen as a legitimate ending point.
I think 8~10 more seconds in the encode doesn't hurt, but if you see it differently, let me know and I will work on a version that has a faster ending point.
I can't remember any publications where returning to the title screen was considered a part of the ending, and therefore, a part of the encode. The music is indeed playing, but it's the regular title theme that is also available when you just launch the game, which means it's only a part of the game start, not its ending. Title screen isn't a part of the game ending, so including it into encodes may be confusing, for example one may think the encode wasn't properly trimmed.
Theoretically, there can be infinite amount of content that is only seen after you get back to the title screen, and we include neither of it into encodes, because where do you draw the line? This game has music and score display, but it also has gameplay demos which we don't include. Other games may have cool cutscenes or other features that only appear after returning to the title screen. They aren't a part of the ending though. The only extra content that we may include is things that may appear after some delay (like hidden messages, see the link to Encoder Guidelines) after the main ending. Yet those show up before returning to the title screen. And including them into encodes is still optional.

I found it very boring, I don't think this goal introduces any fundamentally unique gameplay compared to regular TAS.

Finally, this is a case when a game has nearly identical versions across platforms, so Linux and Windows versions of VVVVVV can obsolete one another if needed, and if there's general consensus about actual cases. As usual, if some version is so different that it features obviously unique tricks and glitches, it can be published just because the run showcases them. Or some branch can use a specific version to increase the diversity. But similar branches of different PC versions of VVVVVV will not be accepted [separately].

Shouldn't this movie end on the score display, showing the player name and actual score, instead of skipping to the title screen again? Sounds more appropriate to me.

I think it's called peripheral hotplugging, and if it's properly emulated, it should be allowed. Though there hasn't been a dedicated talk, I think it's only worth starting one when it becomes a thing in emulators (while being usable for time-saving).

In BizHawk you have TAStudio exactly for such cases. But even Gens has a multitrack mode where you can record for one player, then for another.
