Bisqwit: With the text above, I don't think I need to explain the rejection.
xebra: Perhaps. It was still unkind that you rejected DrSMS emulation because you deemed it not robust enough, yet proffered your own (admittedly lacking and not robust) solution for DOS emulation, apparently in all seriousness. Anyway, all is forgiven.
Bisqwit: Well, not all because you're not. Because of accusations you made earlier while simultaneously closing yourself from criticism (ignoring private messages etc), and because of vandalism you resorted to, I don't think you deserve to be explained why your argument is wrong.

The problem with Dr. SMS isn't a matter of hacks or valid TAS techniques. It's a matter of emulation accuracy. Even if the core emulation is fundamentally accurate, Dr SMS has many graphical and audio glitches which run quite contrary to making AVI files of its output. We don't want a repeat of Famtasia. Furthermore, because Dr. SMS itself is being emulated, the issue of emulation accuracy is compounded such that any subtle inaccuracies in VBA's emulation could lead to great inaccuracies in Dr. SMS' with little rhyme or reason. Additionally, because Dr. SMS is not open source, there is no way to correct the sound errors, or any emulation errors which may pop up. None of these are issues which DOSBox suffers. I am working getting SMS emulation TASable on the PC, which should be acceptable to this site. A run of this caliber would surely be accepted under those circumstances.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

There are other, better SMS=>GBA emulators anyway, SMSAdvance emulates near-perfectly (to me it seems) and throws in some functions for the exchange of a couple hundred frames. Doesn't matter anymore, really, and that's not really the point to the run being rejected. Can't wait for a true and acceptable SMS rerecording emulator, though. Lots of good runs will instantly spring up for sure.

Hahah... yeah, great one... for it to be accepted, you'd need a not so raging hypocrite dude over there.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
