console verified
When a TAS proves it runs on real console hardware, not just an emulator.
Definitions
A TAS that's been played back on genuine original hardware through the controller ports and completed without desyncing. It's the gold-standard proof the run isn't just emulator magic.
Used to separate legit runs from emulator-only oddities, since some glitches and exploits behave differently on real silicon than they do in emulation.
console verified In A Sentence
Origin & Usage
Speedrunning / TAS scene. Most tool-assisted speedruns are built on emulators, so 'console verification' means playing the recorded inputs back through real hardware via a replay device and watching it finish without desyncing.
