It will be significantly different, and almost entirely redone, so delaying it won't make sense. I don't care whether it's canceled or rejected either. Just note that you also need to line up with Abobo vertically, because he takes extra time to align with you otherwise. And I'm not even sure my strat is fully optimal. So take your time and always think of other approaches. You can cancel it now.

Yeah it takes taking everything and verifying. Not any simpler than encoding yourself, just minus the time it takes to encode. And considering the fact that some publishers take days to publish their encodes that are all done, yeah...

Would the 2p run be slower?

If Highest Score somehow changes the ending, it might be considered a designed goal. If it changes nothing in the ending, it's just an optional goal that can be ignored.
So far I don't see how this game requires hi score to be actually beaten. And you don't need to make it more entertaining, because it's not entertaining at all already, so it won't go to Moons if you add speed trade-offs. Usually it's the opposite way - a run already has Moons content, and then the author decides to add speed trade-offs to make it even better. Not sensible here.
So I'm not convinced that this is a vaultable thing as is.

Yes, it worked then, but it was a few releases back. Dunno if it matters.

For me it failed to load when I had the firmware in a cyrillic path.

I always only check stuff when it's almost too late. Does aiming for max score cost any time for this game? Or fastest time automatically gives you max score?

In battletoads the method used is arbitrary data manipulation, not arbitrary code execution. There's some period where battletoads executes open bus, which can theoretically be manipulated to look like it's executing sensible commands, but it's very hard and no one feels like doing it.

Pretty sure it needs to be moved to General.

We need to switch to a c# lua ASAP
If I had the money, I'd create a bounty for that.
This has been needed for a while, since elaborate lua calculations also get slowed down very much by Lua/C# cross calls. The general idea is that full C# implementation of lua is slower by some margin, but it doesn't have the performance drop the Lua/C# cross calls create.

Try making the window frame thin. Maybe it won't require disabling the status bar.

In the end, it's a philosophical question. You see, I'm a total nerd for statistics and would love to have the vault as a place where pretty much any non-arbitrary category can be dumped into for the sole purpose of keeping track of those records. In my preferred definition of "non-arbitrary", I would include NG+, highscores and genres like sport. Such a definition of the vault would indeed lead to more work for the judges, but in my opinion, that's a price worth paying just so we don't have technically well made TASes that fall outside of our tier system.
To the philosophical questions, we as a site can't give equally philosophical answers. The site needs to function in some way, and the direction of it should encourage people to come up with movies that are enjoyable. It has been so for all the years of TASVideos existence, you can't change that on a whim, especially when contributers share a similar view. Having an archive that provides nothing but statistics is pointless, as it doesn't make the site and/or its content better.
It took almost a decade to switch from "we only want enjoyable runs" to "we prefer enjoyable runs, but we like records too" approach, because the measure of unenjoyable records reached some critical mass, and the tiers were introduced. I can't see any sight of a future milestone that would satisfy the constant demand of "more unenjoyable movies for statistic nerds". Mostly because there's no such demand.
And also because that would quickly make the site unmanageable. Look at the the current queue. It's been like that for months. The current team is working non-stop, and we still can't judge/publish fast enough to compensate for the arriving submissions. Because both judging and publishing take time and effort. And experience. You don't have an unlimited amount of skilled dedicated judges/publishers available, even if there was a "statistic nerd" demand on the scale of the whole site.
And it is right that once you move out of clearly defined and solid categories, your judges will lose their minds handling the endless ambiguity of borderline cases.

What's the actual point of having NG+ in Vault exactly?

M64P core in bizhawk surely needs an update, it's 4 years old at least. There's just not many people around who can update it, and those who are, are busy. Probably things like this will help to raise the priority of updating it.

What do you mean by "this"? bsnes performance being buggy or my statement?
The situation. Performance profile gets dropped due to being useless for casual play when snes9x is here, and after all the drama about byuu's decisions and moving away from them in terms of savestates, they hit us from the back, from snes9x itself, where they were reused. And they are exactly what causes bugs there. And 1.54 has already been integrated. Fucking LOL.
