Submission

• Generally, the Platform and Framerate are left untouched. If they need to be changed, a proper movie needs to be made and used as a replacement, so the movie parser does things automatically.
• Emulator version that was used to successfully replay the movie needs to be documented in its respective field (list several if they are required, like libTAS+ruffle)
• If the Game already has an entry on the site, select it in the drop-down menu and click Update, if it hasn't been already selected. This will bring you back to the submission page. Click on Catalog again.
  • If it isn't known by the site, then it will need to be created by clicking the New button next to the Game field. Fill out the info about the game there, including the game genre, then hit Save. Afterwards, follow the previous step.
• Select the game Version used if it exists for that game, then click Update. If it doesn't exist yet, a new entry will need to be created. Click on New next to version dropdown, then fill out the information about the ROM as needed (the Version field usually isn't necessary to be filled in). Click on Save, then click on Update.
• Select the Goal of the TAS. If no goal has been created for the TAS so far, it will need to be created. Simply click on Manage, then put in the branch label without quotes, or baseline for a branchless movie, then click on Create. Afterwards, select the newly created branch, then click on Save.
• The Additional Sync notes field has a textual explanation of what they usually contain.
• After you've cataloged the game and the emulator, it's a perfect time to indicate that you've verified sync on this submission, because it helps judges a lot! Click the Sync verified checkbox and then the Save button.
  • If you're one of the authors of the submission, and you've cataloged it, please don't tick the Sync verified checkbox. It sure syncs for you if you've made it, but the purpose of sync verification is ensuring it syncs for other people who may have a different setup. Because figuring out what setup is required for sync is the goal here. However, if it's a very old submission of yours and your setup is different now, verifying sync from scratch by at least someone is still better than if nobody does it.
