Starting January 1st 2017, 00:00 UTC, movies submitted with Dega will no longer be accepted. Dega is notorious for being a poor emulator with many issues in things such as accuracy, playback and AVI capturing. It is vastly improved on these aspects by BizHawk and has been for years. It also has been dead as a submittable platform for years, as the last submission made with it dates back to 2011. Just in case anyone still somehow has a Dega run in progress that they may not finish before the given deadline, you can post in this thread to request a continuance. Continuances will be accepted until December 15th 2016, 23:59 UTC. EDIT: Continuances are closed now.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
