Dyshonest: what exactly are you trying to say? That each minority's opinion must be forced in the face of the majority?

How about having a thread to put such requests in? I need a fix for #4162: Ubercapitalist's GC Resident Evil 4 "The Mercenaries: Castle" in 13:44.33, the framecount is 49460.

I explained it several times. One can be done on a stock controller. The other can not. That's the difference.
If a movie has L+R presses every other frame, say on the second pad, to manipulate the RNG, it will just break the controller, if done on a stock one the mechanical way. Moreover, no one is going to build such a replay device. And when we abstract from that "mechanical" replay device, and use just wires, everything clicks. That is the only stable way to do console verifications.

Your only support is "we've been doing it all this time, so why should we change"?
It's not "support", neither it is "only". It's a question: why does something need to be changed? Especially when it's a common and traditional practice. Can you list the benefits? Mothrayas: so you think that non-existent buttons don't apply to "The device can't do something, but the console accepts it => it's legit"? Or that L+R doesn't apply there? Or that it's not the TASVideos approach for 10 years? What makes these completely different universes in your eyes? Why the same approach can't be used on both issues?

Ah, okay. My point is, we can't apply some new approach that would contradict our traditional one, right? L+R was considered virtually legit for all those years, as was resetting during saving, and all such stuff. It also syncs on the console as we feed it directly. Then what's the point in banning it suddenly when doing the real verification? Why suddenly limit ourselves with stock controllers? That post tells why not.

How do you fix such stuff? Can you edit movie lengths?

The point was that the runs use extra buttons that don't even exist on a stock contoller.
Then it doesn't matter for me. The device can't do something, but the console accepts it => it's legit. That is the approach we were using for 10 years. Disagree?

But you can't do that on a normal controller by design. Hence, since many of our tases use it, it won't be legal on your "ideal verification machine".

We use that technique no matter what for 10 years now, which should make it a borderline for the guy who wants stock controllers for verification. Either he considers the site's approach illegal, or agrees to stretch his views. xnamkcor: read the post I linked there, the one that JXQ (does he need an introduction?) called "very well-written".

Specify the range please. AFAIK NES or SNES regular ones don't allow that.

The 10-year practice of pressing opposite directions during TASing kind of disagrees with you.

That's the definition of healthy attitude in my opinion. One can "like a lot", "love", "be fond of", and it all can be healthy. Once it becomes "too much", it's kind of idolatry. Some people like sports too much, others make money on that. If all of them knew when to stop, sports wouldn't be idolatry.

I'm updating the submission with this file, right? I only don't know how we could set the proper time in the database then.
