Let me contribute... $10 for finding a way to obsolete the Ocarina of Time any% route with a credits warp. Another $10 if it also eliminates nuts RNG.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

$20 to the creation of a wiki page for outstanding bounties, to be paid as a donation to tasvideos.org (or to a reasonably acceptable substitute as defined by the fulfilling users) within 48 hours implementation.

Too bad I don't have any free money to give, else I'd be willing to pay to improve N64, PS2+, and Xbox+ emulation.

I'd give my kidney for j2me rerecording.

I'd give $25 to anyone responsible for a TAS of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary.

I'm a little confused by Pokota's original comment. Is this page for organizing all of the "outstanding bounties" in this thread, or only those where the money will be donated to the site? Perhaps a "reasonably acceptable substitute" would be our console verifiers, for covering the cost of machine parts or games to verify published TASes.

I'm okay with that interpretation, but as Aqfaq filled the bounty it's her decision as to how the money gets applied. As for how the page is used, that's up to the editors. I just wanted the page to finally be a reality after five years of disorganized and lost-in-the-thread bounties that still need to be sifted through.

Thanks Pokota, maybe the first bounty should be given to somebody who actually keeps the bounty list updated? (Not me.)

Who all has edit rights for that page, and which one of them wants to sift through and monitor this thread for bounties?

Any editor can edit the page. Maybe you could become an editor yourself? Just ask an admin to grant you the power.

Hey everyone, does TASVideos have an active link or account where you can send donations to? In particular, I'd like to contribute an amount to emulator development (as a big "thank you" for releasing PSXHawk!).

It was pretty much all zeromus work, you should donate the money to him.

I fixed VIII's, and also removed VII's "published run" link, as none exists and I couldn't find a suitable replacement in the game's thread. EDIT: Also, thank you for reporting that!

So MUGG has declined to direct payment of the bounty for the page, where do I go to donate money directly to the site?

Have you tried contacting adelikat or Nach, i.e. people who run the site? :)

The bounties page could become a "Games Ideas" list, and I am literally quoting the to-do article. Could a $0 bounty serve as a way to convert the bounty list into a bounty-plus-suggestion list? Edit: I realized after making the comment that the games ideas list exists, but the 'to-do list' had not been updated. However, linking the two lists is a good idea where the games that have a bounty on them appear in the idea list (I do not know if this has been done or not).

We actually have an existing list of game suggestions, as well as a second list of SDA speedruns without a published TAS. Between the two, there are hundreds of games you can choose from, have at it!

10 USD (paying to player over paypal) Super Hydlide Genesis Any% (I'm ok if the run uses free exp trick by using coin on water) Run needed to be published on TASVideos to qualify Expected time is less than 45 minutes (if not, you're doing it wrong) 15 USD (paying to player over paypal) Rings of Power Genesis Any% Run needed to be published on TASVideos to qualify Expected time is less than 1 hour 30 minutes (if not, you're doing it wrong)

I guess I have a particular TASer in mind for both of these but: $10 for a Pokemon HG/SS TAS, with another $10 for a time below 1:50. $10 for a Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga TAS, another $10 for a time below 1:05.

I would argue that MLSS can be done in under an hour. But it's not confirmed. I added ventuz' and yours to the page.

10$ for a TAS of a java game called Snowball Fight. It looks like this . It was popular on old phones such as Samsung or Nokia. I don't even have any idea how to run this game on PC lol not to mention TASing which I never did in my life. Sorry I'm a n00b. Paying with paypal. any%, fastest time, no warping glitches if there is any. Has to be accepted I guess.
