Beat the most games as fast as you can using the Tool Assisted Speedrun features within the RGR Plugin. For information on TAS and how to use TAS features with the RGR Plugin, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=88264

In order for a game to qualify, it must have at least 1000 plays with a rating of at least 6 OR have at least 100 plays with a rating of at least 8. Also the game must be for a Mednafen emulated system since those are the only systems which currently have TAS features.

Your recording must start within a few seconds of the game starting and the recording must end shortly after you beat the game. You must also take a screenshot of the game before you end the recording as proof that you did the TAS with the RGR Plugin. When you're done with each of your submissions, be sure to post a link to the video and the screenshot to this thread.

I hosted this same competition last summer which you can see the results of here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=89082



Rules and info
-If more than 1 user do videos for the same game, the submission with the quickest game completion will be the one that counts (this also includes submissions from last year so you'll want to check this thread as well). In case of a tie, the video which was submitted first gets the credit.

-The average length of all your submitted videos must be at least 15 minutes. This is to prevent someone from doing a ton of submissions for really short games. So for example, if you submitted a 15 minute speed run and then a 45 minute speed run, your average would be 30 minutes which means you'd be fine. However, if for example you submitted a 5 minute run, a 10 minute run and a 15 minute run, your average would be 10 minutes and you wouldn't qualify (but you could simply submit some longer videos to bring up your average).

-When providing a screenshot with your submission, be sure you take the screenshot with the RGR Plugin (by pressing F6) and then submit the screenshot to the game's page and provide a direct URL to the screenshot from your post (do not download the picture and then upload it somewhere).

-You cannot cheats or use glitches of any sort. As for warping, you can only use warps that were intended to be used as part of the game's experience.

-Do not use Freemake Video Converter on Sega Genesis game videos otherwise the video will become distorted and will not count.

-Your videos must be uploaded to the Vizzed YouTube account (you can do this from the game's page).

-You can record your videos with the RGR Plugin or with an external recording device.

-You cannot die in the video (that'd defeat the purpose if it being a TAS).

-Each submission needs to be 1 video, it cannot be broken into parts.

-You can not edit your video in any way, it needs to be raw footage.

-Only videos submitted after 8/1/2016 count.

-You can do games that are exclusive to http://play.rom.online/

Competition Ends
September 1st



Tips
-Try to beat the game as fast as you can to prevent others from voiding your submission.
-It is recommended that you use the RGR Plugin when recording since it outputs the video at the highest possible quality and it wont render any slow down, skipping, lagging, etc.
-If your video ends up being very large and too large for you to upload, use video compression software to compress it. I recommend Freemake Video Converter.



FAQ
Q = How do I upload videos?
A = Scroll about half way down the page where you see the video area and then click the 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed YouTube'. Here's a screenshot of it:




Competition Begins Now

Davideo7 : Are we allowed to use games from play.rom.online since it uses the RGR plugin as well as Mednafen?

18mlivingston : Yeap you can.

So I would like to say Mednafen is broken with this game...just look at that...I can save like 10 seconds in Bowser's Castle but since on console it's not a possible thing, I intentionally wasted time. Sorry but I'm not a cheater. Good emulator
I'm talking about this part: https://youtu.be/mrJ9SLyr6sw?t=9m8s

Don't have screenshot, it's located in the game Tetsuwan no Atom I think, I copied the game ID and replaced the mednafen link in a random snes game, seems screenshotting didn't work... rip
The reason I did the above was because I was unable to load the game on the page itself (specifically I mean the playromonline page), so I had to do it this way. Hope that's okay.

Current Av. Time: 33:11.5

I'll do 2 more games then I'm done with this. Maybe 3. Depends if that awful Dora game is qualified enough for this...I mean I know the game almost perfectly that I could probably get a speed run WR after multiple tries lol
Edit- 5.5, after rating game with honesty (rated 7.4, I sort of like this game) 5.7... Alright, no Dora TAS. RIP lol. Looks at Astro Boy...

I'ma have to make a new reply for you to respond won't I...Eh was going to make a new one sooner or later anyways.

Here is my first submission, of course it was going to be Metroid Zero Mission. The great thing is that I got faster, and even better is that I saw ways I could get even faster so yay!

@David
Basically, in the first 40% of the game, you get to do stages 1-1 to 7-5. Then you die, and the sad, FAKE ending happens. You get revived and gain the ability to Time Travel, and you're put back in Stage 1-1. You have to replay the game all the way to stage 7-5 again in order to activate Sharaku's puzzle, and here you just do a bunch of backtracking and then unlock stage 8 after solving the puzzle. Stage 8 is a boring stage which is just a flying autoscroller, 4 repeat bosses, one new boss, and then the final section is impossible to die in no matter how hard you try. At least last I tried. And then you get the real ending which is a happy one.

It takes ~29 minutes to get the fake ending, known as Birth Any%. It takes ~32 minutes to finish the Rebirth section excluding the puzzle. Known as Rebirth Any%. Then it takes another 25 minutes to finish the puzzle and Stage 8. You get to rewatch ~29 minutes, which just 3-5 minutes being a new stage.
Oh, also, about the Stage 3-5. You get to play it 4 times. It's just an easy boss (pretty hard to optimize as a frame-by-frame TAS though) Birth 3-5, Rebirth 3-5, in the puzzle after finding out about Drake's daughter you play 3-5, and after going to the moon after defeating the most powerful enemy (he'd probably OHKO you in Hard Mode looking at how he does 70K HP in Easy) you again play 3-5...well, with a new twist; someone is doing an operation.

So yes the Rebirth section is boring. So I was wondering if I have to do both Birth & Rebirth to get the real ending or just do Birth to get the fake ending? I really don't know what I have to do now ._.
Sorry for unnecessary explanation if I did, just wanted to try and explain the problem as well as possible.

I went ahead and played through a few a couple days ago and spent yesterday uploading the videos. Here they are.
