But does getmarker() behave the way you want?

In such cases,it doesn't seem to do proper work with samples that are left from the previous frame and the buffer that's allocated for the frame after you load a state. Maybe it's a common problem for several games, but what I found out is that states crash the emu without the movie too, and in vanilla mame of that time. So you could test if it crashes without movie loaded, on both original mame 0.139 and latest one. And if you want to be really helpful, and find the exact mame release when that was fixed (if it was), I might adopt the fix before I start working on the fork of new mame (new year holidays), so in the end you could resume tasing on mame sooner.

If you run it from commandline, does it spawn a similar message when it closes as in the bug I linked?

The idea of having 2 versions published, one in Moons due to being short and entertaining to most people, and the other in Vault as an actual speed record and, supposedly, full completion, is interesting, but that way the latter will contain the entirety of the former in it, creating the obsoletion possibility, and we've had examples of Vault runs obsoleting Moons branches that were unvaultable. #3998: MESHUGGAH's NES Cross Fire in 05:52.50

Dunno about the kill screen being mandatory, but if the difficulty keeps increasing infinitely, it doesn't solve the problem either..

Are the levels in the American version any harder? If not, then it doesn't look like it's worth it to go the longer way just to see some screen, since the content would be exactly the same, just copypasted a few times.

Does anybody know if this version was intended to be just a demo/playable teaser for the actual flash version, or the latter was a separate idea? I can only find "play online" kinds of links on google instead of useful information.

Should I only judge it or only publish it? I can't do both.

To a layperson like me it looks like dedicated team chats should use Discord, while the general and random chat for the whole site is better as IRC. Sharing files, voice talks - all that stuff is handy when the team has a goal. General purpose occasional mumbling feels more comfortable on IRC.

This is thanks to Windows working so amazingly compatible between versions. Same story as with markers/branches/inputroll separator control.

Try abstracting from it being absurdly fast. What else does that run have that makes you want to watch it over and over? So far, my opinion on it is kinda close to what it was on Kiwi.

Which glitches does it skip exactly? And if there's a bunch of them, are they actually all possible glitches for this game? Because if it only skips some, it can't be glitchless. And if it skips some that are really common in this game, it can in the end become "no X glitch". http://tasvideos.org/JudgeGuidelines.html#Branches

mame-rr 0.139 v0.1-alpha released! Downloads

https://github.com/TASVideos/mame-rr/releases/tag/v0.1-alpha

Changes

https://github.com/TASVideos/mame-rr/commits/v0.1-alpha

Usage

You can replay/record movies by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+R and Control+N by default). There are also hotkeys for stopping a movie (Control+T by default) and for playing the active movie from the beginning (Shift+R by default).
You can toggle movie read-only/read+write mode (Control+Q by default).
You can use RAM Search and RAM Watch by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+F and Control+W by default).
You can open the Lua console by pressing the corresponding hotkeys (Control+L by default) or with the command line parameter "-lua" (example: mame.exe cninja -lua example.lua).
AVI (uncomressed) can be recorded from the movie using the command: mame-rr romname -pb moviename.mar -aviwrite aviname.avi. To stop recording, just close the emulator.
If movie recording was started while paused, the replay dialog should also be opened while paused.
If the state was saved while paused, it should also be loaded while paused.

What's new

read-only switch
movie header now stores framerate (as it should be parsed too for tasvideos submissions to provide proper movie time), the header changed a bit
movie replay dialog shows new contents (rom name, emulator version, framerate)
HUD shows more info relevant to tasing (recording/paused/fastforwarding, number of frames, total frames)
