I tested this with Rockman I typed in random shit to corrupt memory and beat it by pausing every few secs I was successful but the movie didn't record the memory corruption ending part it only had my Input. I want to know how to save the Memory Corruption part also tested this with something in FCEUX called Scanline/Trace ? I think that's what its called to mess up layouts for memory corruption too

You'd need a lua script for that, emulator actions obviously don't record to a gameplay movie.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Manual changes of RAM values are not recorded in a movie file. You'll need to write a LUA script that does the same thing you did with the RAM (or a savestate of the result) and send that with the movie to someone wanting to reproduce what you did. Edit: Also note, that you must not submit any movie that relies on such treatment. It will be rejected. Refer to the movie rules at http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html
All syllogisms have three parts, therefore this is not a syllogism.
