3. Your native language isn't English, and on occasion, you miss some fine details.
4. Whenever Nach is out of arguments and is proven to be "not so right", he runs for the "language barrier" salvation. Is it not obvious how weak it is, when the site is meant to have clear documentation for all the non-English contributers it has?

Judging by how much (bad) feedback it got, it was notable by how bad/unserious of a game it was.

I don't see why a guideline is needed to permit something.
Oh wow. The paragraph does say
Hacked games are allowed for submission
Can I remove it please?

Then add a guideline that would resolve all the issues about homebrews that are simply graphical remakes.
Also, the lack of a rule resulted in my case (after applying reading comprehension and thought) in how I interpreted it. Are you saying that it was obviously intended to be understood otherwise?
Also2, wasn't the goal of developers making an exact copy of the original engine, with changing only how it sounds and looks?

If you turn the difficulty way up, have enemies all over the screen, and require some real bashing and tricky maneuvering to complete, I could see it as a moon.
He'd also need to promote it heavily (or request releasing a new version with extra difficulty) so that it becomes famous and notable. Otherwise, I could make hundreds of such games in my spare time and demand for mooning them all once they get a submission. And that's alone, now add an army of Masterjuns...

Hacked and homebrew games
Hacked games are allowed for submission. However, they go through more scrutiny than other games. This is because the hack itself also becomes a subject to judgment, so it must be a high quality hack with a strong following. The TAS should be high quality on its own merit, and must also show something interesting compared to other game(s) made on the same game engine.
Do not use fan translations for your movies — see above for more on this. This rule is strict.
No cosmetic hacks
We don't allow hacks that only serve to change the looks of the original game. Hacks must provide unique gameplay.
No tampering with the files the game is composed of
Some systems, such as DOS, exposes the separate parts of the game to the user. You are not allowed to manipulate game files except as normally done during install, if the game needs to be installed.
That means no renaming/copying/deleting/replacing/editing files.
The common header is about hacks and homebrews. In the text (and in the whole page) only hacks are mentioned explicitly. If you want me to assume that the rules for homebrews are somehow different from the rules for hacks (while they are still in one section), mention it explicitly.

Please add a note in the description (under ruler) how user can access commentary.

Yes, if it happens (though I hope he tries it out with something more complex and telling in terms of TASability), the only thing left would be to add a parser. We must start somewhere after all!

Yeah, I'm not sure why tasvideos doesn't accept MAME-RR TASes...
Because right now, there's no proof it can be successfully TASed on. If someone finishes a high quality run, it's obviously such a proof, and as long as it can be used, there must appear a new movie parser.
The only question towards MAME is how complete its savestates are, and how deterministic they are. But actual testing automatically resolves that. Exact % of games with officially complete savestates is yet to be found out (not hard at all), but I'm damn sure it's high enough for us.
BTW, MAME-rr can be compiled with UI (in future).

Me too.
I've read the article. Gameplay-wise, zero difference is there, we're dealing with a plain copy of Rockman 1.

Ports for different platforms are accepted, unless they're 100% identical. Haven't seen this, but I'd say Wily Wars and this one are identical to NES, being copies of those.

I also can't agree with the difficulty chosen here, because it does not affect the gameplay, it only increases the player's damage. That means you can do much more damage boosts in an Easy run, not losing actual gameplay.

For homebrews/bootlegs, we determine the game's notability. And yeah, there's not rule for "copies" of existing games made by fans, but I'd rather say the original should be TASed.

The chart is for the original version, on the NES it's sightly different. Simply watching the above encode tells that wave 41 is when all weaker ostriches stop spawning (except for eggs), and it doesn't seem able to ever spawn more than 7 ostriches, even during the egg waves.

Are they? The only related thing I know of is having another mednafen core ported. But no rumors about PS yet.
