This is a thread for keeping our publications up-to-date with console verification flags and videos. Please post here with any of the following:
    * New verifications, as this ensures that there's a central location for them that can easily be referenced * Publications that already have console verifications but haven't been updated with them yet, so we can add the flag and the video * Publications with the flag that no longer have (or have never had) a verification video so we can remove the flag until a video is provided * Anything else publication-related that needs to be updated or fixed

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/983395076?t=02h52m10s [3348] FDS Super Mario Bros. 2 "warps, Mario" by HappyLee in 08:04.83 Kosmic verification???? Also verification starts at 2h52m10s because it was done after the smb1 minimum a presses tas premiere (the link provided goes straight to that timestamp) This was already verified by the people running the chinese tasbot, but that was on a copy-cart on a stand-alone famicom. This was one was verified on a real Famicom Disk System with a real floppy disk and it synced. Because the FDS loads are inconsistent, it is somewhat surprising that it managed to sync, so I believe this has its own merit to be linked instead.
I like to comment on submissions and look around the site. You have probably seen me before (if you have been around for a while) either on the site, Discord, or any other social media. I recently took up making temporary encodes for new submissions. Also, I never forget to greet Tompa wherever I find him!

Why does it require a different movie file than the publication?

Watching the publication encode would show no bootrom sequence, which would be explanation enough on why the published movie would not work.

[3662] A2600 Dragster by MrWint & Omnigamer in 00:08.39 This movie seems to wrongly claim to be console verified: the console verification link appears to verify the obsoleted TAS, not the current one (and the video description even links the obsoleted TAS, also the verification happened before the current TAS was even made so I don't know how the heck someone messed that up lmao).

Youtube recently announced that all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 will automatically be switched to private on July 23 this year. I've gone ahead and looked through all verified publications (including obsoleted) for any unlisted videos. A few publications will be affected by this change: [1962] NES Super Mario Bros. "warpless" by HappyLee in 18:38.23 [2827] SNES Super Mario World "warps" by bahamete, Masterjun & PangaeaPanga in 09:59.85 [3243] N64 Mario Kart 64 by Weatherton in 20:33.32 I've already reached out to micro500 for the MK64 verification, and he said he'll make it public. As for the other two, either we'll have to figure out how to contact them, or they'll need to be re-recorded (which I can do if it comes to that). While the following publications also use unlisted verification videos, they should not be affected by Youtube's change. However, I thought it good to make note of them anyways: [2966] GB Trip World by MUGG in 05:10.91 [3687] GB Pokémon: Blue Version "Gotta Catch 'Em All!" by luckytyphlosion in 37:55.33 [3679] NES Lizard by juef in 20:53.85 [3728] NES Super Mario Bros. "warpless" by HappyLee & Mars608 in 18:36.78 [4208] GB Mickey's Dangerous Chase by EZGames69 & Memory in 11:41.78 Additionally, I noticed that a few of these verification videos do not give credit to the TAS authors, either directly or via a link back to the publication/submission they came from (2827 and 2966).

Good job everyone! I'm very happy that so many TASes got console verified as well as having a video footage. Will definitely watch them at some point.
