"Image Format: ISO+MP3" in zidanax's version might have something to do with it. As the version I have is .bin+.cue as well, I'll check it tomorrow and see if it syncs.

Well, if you know of an improvement to a published movie, make a new one and submit it. If somebody else knows about an improvement and do it first, basically, all you can do is look for further improvement — you can't invalidate the competition. If you improve this movie by another frame, by all means, submit! Otherwise, please drop this pointless discussion (and that's aimed not directly at you, but to everyone participating in it). It just happens so that debating whose name needs to be written in subtitles and who needs to be credited for a trick never once lead to anything productive, let alone non-obnoxious. This forum has quite a history on the subject, you're free to revisit it at any time.

That's not going to be useful for games with continuous screen because: 1) part of the actual screen will most likely be covered by lower window's title bar; 2) I'm very sure no-one's actually going to adjust the screens manually each time they open the file. That's beside the fact that very few players have that function. I haven't made any tests yet, but so far I only know of VLC.

so, unless there's a colourful thingy circling towards your character, I wouldn't count the soul as "aquired".
Would you count it "acquired" then? ;) Anyway, while I do agree with most of your examples, it seems there are certain deviations from that kind of mindset, like with, for instance, Metroid Zero Mission, where Varia is never literally acquired, but the game still "teleports" it to you alongside Gravity Suit. I'm sure there are more exceptions. This, of course, calls for certain disambiguation, which will most likely not be sorted out preemptively. (At least I don't remember any rulings that were carried out during my active membership time without a problematic precedent to them.)

As I understand, glitched all-souls would be virtually identical to this run with more length/iterations of farming RAM for variables, so I see no sense in that, either. Glitchless (or at least no-out-of-bounds) run, however, would be quite fun.

I don't see why not, it's for all purposes a better version (except where it's completely identical).

Absolutely seconded. I didn'e see this topic being active due to my own inactivity, but I've always been a proponent of the Sega CD version if only for a massive increase in soundtrack quality (to the point that some of the tracks ended up in my "favorites" playlist).

This is some FinalFighter stuff right here. One of these days you should just go and ask your mother if she knew a Japanese exchange student who visited your country some time before you were born. In other news, this might be useful.

Sorry that I had to forfeit my participation. I didn't count on this starting so soon, so when the circumstances came around I wasn't prepared. I'm still glad to know that our team has won (even if I had nothing to do with that).

Well, I suppose you can invoke the "TAS mode" every time during movie recording (but not when the input is not logged in any way), but sacrificing precision in this mode would probably defeat the purpose of making a TAS emulator out of bsnes in the first place, wouldn't it? What are the disadvantages of your first idea?

Doesn't seem so. You'll have to unsubscribe each time you receive a new notification.

Soulseek? Isn't it basically useless now? Ever since people have started using Bittorrent all good people seem to have left. :/
It's not useless per se, but you're right: all the good people are now on What.CD, Waffles, and other closed trackers.

This is a good list. Some of these skills, like life budgeting, are indeed close to extinct nowadays, which made some of the awesome genres once immensely popular (shmups, run'n'guns) wither and only carry on thanks to the comparatively small amount of loyal and devoted fans. Games where you die in a single hit are now referred to as stupid and too hard, while back in the day it was the norm everyone happily agreed upon.

Some general recommendations for game choice.
  • Good genres are platformers, adventures, and bomberman-style action/puzzle games.
  • It must not contain excessive luck manipulation.
  • It must not be "hold right to win" simple.
  • It must not be too complex.
  • It must be relatively short (definitely below 15 minutes for estimated completion time), but not too short.
  • It must not contain emulation errors or require using a feature-incomplete or notoriously problematic emulator (PCSX, Mupen, FBA).

A much faster run was rejected for bad game choice. [EDIT] I stand corrected, that run completed only three stages or four.

Has anyone ever been prosecuted for publishing a game video as a case of copyright infringement?

If you're neither smart nor hard-working, there are only two ways for you to get quick cash: good connections that can offer you an opportunity many others never get, and criminal deeds. Incidentally, these two ways have been prevalent in Russia and many other places since who knows when.

There is a grey area in regards to DMCA and similar laws of digital copyright management that is shifted between infringement and fair use by the intent of the "author". Naturally it allows paradoxical situations when content is coped via illegitimate means yet, of the acquirement of said means goes unnoticed, further usage cannot be claimed illegal unless/until it breaks other laws. It doesn't pertain to digital media. For instance, distribution and storage of illegal drugs is prohibited and is a criminal offense — being under their influence, per se, is not. Same with certain weaponry. In regards to TASing, the companies have no real ways to establish the ways the players are using to get access to ROMs, and thus cannot prosecute them for that (a situation similar to hypothetical SDA player using a pirated game to make a speedrun, something that cannot be traced). But creating TASes using the ROMs, by itself, is not illegal and cannot be prosecuted or claimed as copyright infringement since the act of TASing or releasing a video of a TAS is not an infringement in any way I know, and, largely because of that, the companies just don't bother with the likes of us: there are no solid legal reasons to close such a site, and even if one site is closed, another two will pop up in its stead. Getting ad revenue falls into this grey area as well, but there is no doubt it does shift the author's intent away from fair use. It shouldn't still be a solid ground for C&D'ing the site, but it can drag the administration into a legal debate that will ultimately cost more than what might be covered with well-placed ads.

Yeah, I don't really know what I am doing when it comes to tags. Probably stems from the fact that I am terrible at coming up with key words when searching for things myself.
Let's start with "mario, castlevania, zelda, metroid, megaman, sonic". You can also add something like "game video" just to generate more contextual hits.
