Please elaborate. You can set the time when starting a movie, I guess that doesn't help? Also if you just have to wait for 2 hours no matter what, how is that even a speedrun? What game? What goal?

I don't think there's such a thing as "fceux frontend" at all, it's just a HUGE pile of all sorts of spaghettis of infinite length that were being intermixed by a ton of people for a ton of years. It's what bizhawk would look like if it was 60 years old.

Haha, yeah baby! It should have happened sooner or later. 10 years ago writing a core in C# maybe looked like a grownup approach, but over the years it's been getting more and more accurate, slower and slower, and at this point it's obvious that if we can't emulate 6502 or Z80 based systems at full speed, we're doing something wrong. It also means there's no way younger consoles will ever run at usable speeds if the same approach is taken.
Though I don't think anyone will be using it for further development, as opposed to just running movies on it. There are tons of NES emulators now, and it's kinda getting old. Even bizarre accuracy isn't that novel anymore. So I don't know if this is eventually adopted by hawk again, but this undertaking is obviously something worthy.

It's honestly as much as we can do. We don't offer the recognition you're requesting via publications. Publications (for speed oriented movies) mean "this movie is the fastest completed verified one at the time of publication". And there's no clean unabusable way to add more to this meaning.

What about "sniped"? This would showcase the dramatic effect. Overall I like this idea.

Okay so here's the workflow that should work:
http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20837
It's using FS-UAE and libTAS, so no need to worry about internal support for rerecording, since we can just force it from the outside!

TAS Encoding Package has been broken since 17 Jun 2018: 10-bit 4:4:4 encodes were just 4:4:4, and 8-bit. Please update.

As far as publishing an 'already obsoleted' run, the current record would be the faster run sitting on the workbench. If the faster run is published first, the true record is maintained in a published state and there's no weird discrepancy of having a known non-record holder as the current fastest publication. By publishing the slower run second, the 'obsoleted by' ID could be set to the appropriate movie page of the faster run, and there'd be no obsoleting in a vacuum.
I don't understand what you're saying at all.
I'll try to reply to the actual post when I see the relation between reality and your feelings about it.

If 'accepted' movies can still be rejected, then perhaps we should change the judgment of 'accepted' to 'provisionally accepted pending publication' as that's more accurate and less disrespectful toward authors to whom this situation has already occurred and to those whom it will happen to in the future.
Where are you even seeing disrespect?
DrD2k9 wrote:
Still, the proposal to publish 'as obsoleted' would add minimal stress/work to the site staff, maintain honor toward the author, and improve the accuracy of archival for the game's history on the site.
Publishing as obsoleted makes no sense, because what would the actual record be? Technically obsoletion works by setting the "obsoleted by" movie ID, it can't be "spherical obsoletion in vacuum" if there's nothing to obsolete it.
Overall, it's undeniable that this movie has been proven to be sub-optimal. Usually we publish improvable movies if the improvement is hard to implement, but it has been properly bested now, from start to finish, with the improvement that MESHUGGAH posted, and with lots of other timesaves.
This is a speed competition after all, one should always expect to be bested and work hard in order to win.

The safest way is just following the official instructions. If that's not available, going for the most common CPU speed of that era is also safe. I wish the table gave some insight about popularity.

First of all, I don't think "Media" is the right name if we want it to be official. That's way too broad. If we use "Mass Media" instead, it becomes clearer what we're trying to show. And even then, the text on the page should inform us that this page (or these pages) collect appearances of TASing and TASers in mass media.
Make use of wiki lists instead of forced linebreaks. Why do you put "GamesDoneQuick/" so many times? AGDQ/SGDQ is already there. Then, you have 2 bots, those would be 2 items in the list, and then all the GDQs would be a TASBot's sublist. Personally, I'd bold all mass media source names.

You seem to be showing Games there, not individual TASes.
MESHUGGAH wrote:
- Divide pages in to subpages? (Media/TASers, Media/Movies, Media...) and names?
Movies, Bots, TASers, and Games seem to need to be on subpages. Also I believe Interviews should be a subpage of MassMedia.

3. Should I make subpages to exclude non-TASVideos TASers and TASes?
- Especially that most of them refer to a youtube video, not uploaded by TASVideosChannel
- Also this way it should be easier to navigate
Having them as 2 groups on the same page should be handy enough.

It means the movie was started while unpaused. Remove the playback parameter, unpause the emulator, and load the movie using Ctrl+R.

Can't be proven without whoring the hell out of vp9 arguments. The main difference from intended vp9 use is that corporations have encoding farms and want to save on traffic. So I do believe they spend more cpu-power on crushing the filesize than we can afford. And they do save money through this, while we gain absolutely nothing either way.
This is several times more true for AV1, which saves 30% more filesize than vp9, but takes years to encode.

Brief testing shows that reducing the quality down to what we use for primary runs twice as fast as x264, but produces a file that's 1.5 times bigger. Lack of detailed docs didn't help. I mostly used this command on SMW "game end glitch":
