Some people might say that we make TASing primarily for ourselves. While in some sense that might be true, I don't think it's the main impetus. We make TASes because they are awesome to watch. We make TASes to impress, and to enjoy. Not just ourselves, but everybody.
We make these movies because they are entertaining to watch
I mentioned replicability in RTA for a reason. ACE (formerly the most technical glitch that we've known) is very consistently pulled off in real time at least for 2 games. This is extremely technical and extremely entertaining (to a large extent due to being extremely technical). ACE has become a speedrun trend, we can't cut of off anymore.
DPCM/Controller glitch might become a trend only in the world of TASing (and console verification), it can not be done real time by a human. It won't become a universal speedrun technique. It is extremely technical. And it is absolutely not entertaining, because there's nothing to enjoy gameplay wise in it (at all).
And the latter sounds exactly like what the Demo tier was suggested for.

If no one grabs this before I finish doraemon, I'll publish.

That's a common bug for tools hotkeys... Fixed/updated.

Categorizing is fine, but we can't have multiple versions of any% runs as long as each of them technically satisfies the standard criteria. They must obsolete one another. And we seem to be at the point, when even the current meaning of the glitched category is "too slow", while still comprehensible and arguably entertaining. I don't want to see a hundred of runs that do feel like speedruns (even ACE can be done RTA so it still has traditional speedrun merits) be beaten by those 2-second movies just because the latter are technically faster. A 3 frame movie that makes the game actually complete itself due to luck is a different story though (too bad that one was the result of emulation inaccuracy).

That brings me an idea. What if we don't obsolete the standard game end glitch movies by such ones, and put the latter in the Demo tier? Because they exactly are no longer even speedruns, but demonstrations of technical prowess brought to absurd degree without any entertainment value at all.

I edited the section in WelcomeToTASVideos to reflect our policies better (and commented on youtube).

fm3 can be uploaded if you remove the overhead. Saving compact fm3s, I can upload them even without zipping.

As I said there, it's broken in all releases.

It's not related to interim builds at all.

Fantastic ending theme, absolutely amazing. The game itself - not so much. Meh.

Ok, tell me what you do up to the point when it crashes in bizhawk.

Interesting, bizhawk also uses m64p 2.0 core. What plugin did you run it against on m64py?

I don't think problems with doom and no interest in fixing them makes the entire site cancerous. Probably the greatest doom problem is having to rely on internal format instead of having a stable rerecording emulator that runs the game and records its own movies in a reliable fashion. Once that exists, serious efforts can be made to actually improve the existing internal demos, proving them suboptimal in a productive way, and if you wish, proving them unreliable (if they are), also in a productive way.

Lua is slow when you do tons of calculations with it and you have to connect C and C# for each of them. There are Lua implementations in C#, which, if adopted, will make it run faster.
