Get the newest version of bizhawk, set interlacing method to bob offset and dump all over again.

movie_3 is interlaced. Post a (link to the) picture of your PSX settings.

16:31	Masterjun	I'm currently learning how Stacks work
16:31	Mothrayas	stacks, how do they work ?!
16:31	feos  		they stack
16:31	Mothrayas	then you get stacks of stacks
16:32	feos  		then you get stuck
16:32	Mothrayas	but that doesn't stick
16:32	feos  		hence you grab a stick
16:33	Mothrayas	what are the stock prices on stick these days?
16:33	feos  		they suck
16:33	fsvgm777 	Now I put that in the encoding script? Guess what? WORKS.
16:34	Masterjun	fsvgm777: you don't get stuck?
16:34	feos  		fsvgm777: you dump properly. some people don't
16:34	feos  		whatever that means
16:34	fsvgm777 	That could be a double entendre...
16:35	Mothrayas	life must be hard if you can't properly make a dump
16:44	Samsara	  if you stack your dumps, please re-evaluate your life choices

Open each file in MediaPlayerClassic, go to File - Properties - Mediainfo, and pastebin the contents.

It's basically how you run PSX in bizhawk, yes. But ROM format wouldn't matter as long as it's the original image.

Just figured out. If tortoisegit shows wrong icons for files, like exclamation marks that get stuck for clean files, go to tortoisegit settings, change Icon Overlays - Status cache option, save, and then restore it.

For the very recent commit, this code finally does it for me (as long as "frame advance skips lag" is checked):

Language: lua
function skip()
	if emu.framecount()%2>0 then
		emu.setislagged()
	end
end
event.onframeend(skip)

How about this: Download even-frames.lua

Language: lua
function skip()
	if emu.framecount()%2 > 0 then
		emu.frameadvance()
	end
end
while true do
	skip()
	emu.frameadvance()
end

Change the condition to "emu.framecount()%2 == 0" if you want only odd frames.

Why is it so important for you to keep your encode published? Monetized views? I doubt, as I already stated earlier. I don't want to go through that hell again and teach you do things properly, because encoding bizhawk's psx is not as simple as you think. If you want something linked from the publication on your channel, make an encode with lua drawings probably, stuff like that., to at least be able to offer something new to the viewer.

The point is not to advance the frame, as it's done anyway, but to skip the usual delay that's added to simulate the target framerate of the console, as in, one needs to emulate the lag frame on turbo speed. This must be very possible in lua. EDIT: Wait, that's right! You need turbo speed for that frame, but you also need emu.frameadvance() when your address is lagged to actually skip it!

Fceux has an option to manually set lag flag when you feel like it (judging by whatever address the game uses as a lag flag). In bizhawk you only can get lag flag, and get/set lag count. It's not hard to implement, but adelikat refused the idea for some reason. Maybe because the possibility to skip such frames on demand wasn't considered. However, in TAStudio you can hide every other frame's row, though I don't know if it actually skips the frame.

I'm pretty sure the overall approach can be widely applied depending on available tools.

Starred THUG2 and (as is already known) Spider-Man all items. THUG2 is insane! As for Muramasa, uhm, seriously? Running left and right for 1 hour (with occasional fights, huge props to their very existence) is a star? I'd refer to Wiki: StarmanGuidelines again to show how "well" this one fits.

What about finally replaying Gradius? Bonus points if the controller is plugged out after the movie ends to make it clear that the rest of the run is planned out to have no input. And I still think multi-game tas is a nice thing. Since consoles might have different timing, it can be done by plugging a separate bot to each console, so it comes to having more than one replay device.

I don't see how the site becomes better rejecting runs like this one. The same happened to FF "console verification". It is obvious, that we can no longer limit our approach to "fast" and "entertaining", because technical work that is being done for the last few years has its own merit, and it's irreplaceable for the community. See what's going on regarding TAS blocks. They are a huge trend now, thanks to those efforts. So if the question is "were you entertained?", I give it a Meh, it's not particularly entertaining to watch. But "should this be published?" ABSOLUTELY. By flushing such runs in the gruefood delight, we do not give proper credits to what was done for the community by such runs, and totally ignore the effects of them. The site is not getting better then. And this is exactly the reason to add a Demo ~~tier~~ category, where such runs of superb technical level and priceless historical meaning would feel best. But to make the global acceptance terms sane, we should not base Demo on some isolated type of efforts, like we tried earlier. I described the approach in-depths here.
