Hi. I recently made a TAS of Night Slashers using Mame RR, which doesn't appear to be on either the accepted or rejected emulator lists. The game does not work in FBA so that wasn't an option. I'm assuming it can't be submitted. Anyway I have it encoded on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npfs5yUTqms Here is the input file (emu must be paused before opening the file or it desynchs, mame RR is very buggy) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7PYdmtUJ1fia1BPbVZhRmY5MUU/view?usp=sharing

Thank you for this! It's exciting to see a MAME-RR TAS here. If MAME-RR movies are ever to be accepted at TASVideos, this example is an important step. Nice game choice also. :)

The only thing that's prevented us from accepting MAME-rr TASes was the fact that nobody was making/finishing them, so if this one is high quality (and if it syncs for other people) then we can definitely start taking steps to implement MAME-rr into the submission parser.

well like I said, the emu must be paused before loading the movie or else it definitely will desynch. Is there any other step I need to take as of right now?

It there even a difference between FBA-rr and MAMA-rr aside from file format?
Enter the Matrix is a piece of garbage but I'm gonna finish it if it kills me.

This TAS will sync in both MAME-RR v0.144 and v0.139 (the input file indicates v0.139 as its source).
