There is no way to verify how a given input file was created, so there is no point in reducing the emulator features. Somebody could still use another emulator and claim that she used the special emulator that has no support for those tools. Sorry, I have no solution for this case.

No, ill use a ResourceHack and change some Texts and Icons of the emulator.. and we will only accept THIS modified emulator. It will work if i can get save/load/cheats off !

But how will you tell that the gmv files were created with your modified emulator? And what happens if someone else uses a resourcehack to put them back in?

And how will you know that someone didn't use Gens 10, hex out rerecords then claim they made the gmv in your Gens?

What happens if somebody uses an external cheating program or a modified RAM viewer? Your request is unreasonable. If it is just for your own playing, just playing without cheats and savestates will do.

I've been involved in prolonged discussion about this at TheSonicCenter. It is not impossible to make an emulator that would allow you to verify that the movies were produced with it. However, it could not be open source, or people could copy the code and the movies would become unverifiable again. And Gens' license requires that anything created from its source code must be open source as well, so I could not legally use Gens as a base. Additionally, I would have to come up with an encryption scheme for the movie files, in order to make them verifiable, and that is NOT easy. As for "Don't worry about the 'IF's", well, if nobody should worry about the "IF"s, then why worry in the first place about what happens "IF" someone wants to cheat?

Actually, you don't have to worry about the IFs until someone cheat :P Then you'll have to invalidate the results :P
