Rom name: Zuma's Revenge (USA)
Emulator used: DeSmuME-VS2019-x64-Release
The goal is complete the game in "Adventure" as fast as possible!
This mode has 60 stages plus 5 boss fights!
The first level has 2 instructions so that one must wait!
How to play the movie file: First you must load the game until the menu to creat a .dsv file, then play the movie!
feos: Claiming for judging.
feos: This run only syncs on interim/dev build of desmume. I asked zeromus to make a new release so this could be seamlessly accepted without hacking the rules against interim builds. He's busy right now, but hopefully he finds time on it within a month. Until then, setting this submission to Delayed. Meanwhile I may try resyncing on a stable release.
feos: New desmume is there, judging...
feos: Nice run, much faster than what humans do (especially on DS). Accepting.
despoa: Processing... Passing this along to Spikestuff, who has the Publisher role once again.
Spikestuff: Publishing.

Is there a reason why this TAS begins from a savestate?

The site almost surely inspected your upload and gave that warning based on the contents of the movie file itself; also, this line from the end of your submission says as much:

DeSmuME-VS2019-x64-Release is indicating you got a dev build of DeSmuMe. This itself doesn't actually provide useful information on the version used, the exact revision would likely be needed to have a chance at syncing this movie. Although luckily it seems that this movie happens to sync fine on the current latest revision (3ba38212281096f8417a0cce24396200923a2810). (Also this dev build usage is why the movie parser is claiming this movie starts from a savestate, due to movie format changes after the latest stable build; which on a sidenote I don't know what you are talking about a .dsv file as the movie seems to expecting no save data) Still, this movie does not seem to sync old stable builds... and dev builds are not really acceptable for submission barring some certain cases. Don't know if said cases apply here. The movie itself is well done and quite entertaining, good job on that!

There's no way to backport this input to a previous stable release of DeSmuME due to the changes from the past 7ish years between the current build and 0.9.11 and also due to the game's RNG. The only solution to this is getting a stable release of DeSmuME from zeromus to come out practically now as the builds solve the biggest issues that are in 0.9.10 and 0.9.11. Sidebar the savestate flag on the site is a false flag, since you can remove that line in the input and it'll still sync.

I'll just quote one of the bosses with regards to this TAS... "No! You are much too powerful! Even my doomy chicken legs were useless. I yield to your amphibian agility!"
