Also, it'll be very good if for mame-rr submissions you explain the completion requirement.
Agreed. This is something I have neglected recently. I will give the completion requirement a prominent line in the submission text.

How did you enable the colored layout?
For the encode, I used Mr. Do's DRAGRACE.ZIP Artwork file with a custom DEFAULT.LAY. Because this is an older version of MAME, recording AVI for a game that has an Artwork file causes all elements of the Artwork file to be included in the AVI, even if these elements are disabled in MAME's Video Options. As such, I modified DEFAULT.LAY to disable the Outer Bezel and the Inner Bezel. This leaves only those elements which would be seen within the bounds of the monitor: the color overlay, and the overlay for the text and Christmas Tree circles. I felt this was most closely in line with TASVideos standards, but I am not partial either way, so I leave the decision to the Publisher. It's a shame that this older version of MAME does not support all of the elements of the Artwork file. Shifter display? Working tachometers? Too cool! Or just encode in monochrome. "WAIT FOR GREEN LIGHT", indeed. :)

C'est ton choix. Vous ne serez pas pénalisé pour la saisie supplémentaire à la fin. Certains TASers choisissent même de saisir leur nom pour High Score après la fin d'un jeu.

A Stage consists of 2 Matches. For Stage 1 through Stage 10, the current Stage is reflected by the displayed Rank. For Stage 11 and beyond, the Rank is displayed as CMP (Champ).
For Stage 9 and Stage 10, the Opponent's posture delay is reduced by 1 Frame per posture. For Stage 11 and beyond, the Opponent's posture delay is reduced by 2 Frames per posture. This is the maximum speed (i.e. highest level of difficulty) that the Opponent attains. This TAS completes one Stage (Stage 11) at the highest level of difficulty.
The post that mentions a change in background refers to Karate Champ: Player vs. Player, not Karate Champ. In Karate Champ, the background changes for Stage 2, and it does not change again.

Would a judge please replace the current input file with this one?
(The associated file has been deleted.)
A Stage consists of 2 Matches. The current input file only completes 1 Match of the final Stage. The updated input file completes both Matches of the final Stage.

This should have heavy luck manipulation tag, as manipulating the RNG is the heart of the TAS, and what causes every customer to back up into the door with one mug.
I had been wondering about this. Should I indicate these tags specifically in the submission text?
