I do have to admit, I was probably the last person sticking to the strict DK recording rules, I have backed off from them lately and going back to a normal arcade recording process. I've heard promises and claims to get the rules updated, but it's been put to the side. There really isn't an official set of recording rules anymore, even on the new TG site it still goes to a dead link.
I stopped doing the unnecessary pre-recording steps. I introduce myself, give the date, show the machine and start, and let the continuous recording speak for itself, and will show all the "goodies" at the end close to the standard recording process. I no longer wait for all the screens to cycle after every restart, once it is already shown once, and will be shown again at the end, I don't feel it is necessary.
If anyone in the community thinks I'm under recording, let me know. But, I would like a TG rep to chime in and possibly talk about the recording rules update.
