Yeah... this submission really brings back the old days when our community was small and nobody wanted to comment the submissions unless the game wasn't popular! In principle, there is nothing amazing. Finally, you can view the encode: Link to video My opinion will be close to yours! I found it boring, but it still funnier than Desert Bus =)

Well you would have had to restart anyway thanks to the new boulder skip in 1-1, or is that slower in newgame?
No, I'm making a verification movie to unlock Assignment Ada. I will be happy if it's not necessary! Is there any in-game cheats to unlock it?

Daaaaaamn! I have just finished the chapter 2-2 and was going to record my progress, but I got a desync in the 1-2. How that could be? After I completed the chapter 1-3 and rewatched the movie, everything was OK. I didn't change any settings! Can somebody view my file? ROM link is in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_kEcX47NxU Recorded with Dolphin 4.0-8311 http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-master-4.0-8311-x64.7z SD-card must be inserted. Ignore the fatal desync massage! Thanks!

Do you mean "message"? Massage is totally different.
It looks like a window when you get an error or something is missing. I can't provide the screenshot of it because I'm far away from my home now. Although it's unnecessary IMO.

Try to get the first enemy to propel backwards from a headshot so he drops something useful like a grenade or pesetas in your running path. If you switch to grenade, keep it out. You only gain 4% extra speed, and you pausing twice counters that with a lot more extra time. I will say though the wiimote aiming is OP. Being able to instantly shoot anything on screen will be entertaining to see. Rather odd though that syncing depends on the SD card and playing the movie twice.
I created the .dtm when a GC controller was plugged in. If you play my .dtm, a Fatal Desync massage appears. You have to ignore this massage and play input recording again. I think SD card is necessary for verification movie.

Here are my first attempts in RE4! All notes are in desription! Link to video I could do that much faster, but I have collected my new PC recently and spent half of the time on new games. DTM here: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/27834009263142250 To make it work, play input recording twice! SD-card must be inserted. MOD EDIT: removed ISO link. <3 samsara

Using Dolphin 4.0 x64 build 8311. I did a 5-min dump, like Video Dumping guide says, but, as a result, my dspdump was 2,27 seconds longer + the last video part had the same frame at the beginning and in the end. The situation is the same as thecoreyburton had. Seems like the video and audio are recorded at different speeds! Wouldn't it be easier to combine the video and audio recording into a single file? Can it solve any problem?

Encoding... (Will edit this post soon!) EDIT: Wow... It's a game for a profy encoder! I did everything like Video Dumping guide says, started the dumping without any compression... At the middle of the movie I got a massage that WaveFileWriter is not opened. Turned out that I got low space on local disk C :-) I interrupted the dumping. All the parts, which were recorded (9 parts, each was 30 secs long), had a quality like a TV with no signal (lots of colorful rays). I did the same again, but, instead of dumping frames and audio, captured the movie with Fraps! During the recording, my framerate wasn't below 40 FPS. As a result, I got a 14 min movie with very slow picture and sound (like I was recording with 20 FPS). I don't know why!! I have enough strong GPU for emulating games like that (HIS Radeon R9 270) and drivers are installed. Anyway, your TAS is perfect! I can upload my Fraps capture if you want :-)

I wish I hadn't cut out the loading tbh, as I seem to have confused quite a number of people wondering why the video length is 10 minutes shorter than the run length.
People are not so attentive to read a discription :-) In all rest you're right!

I think there will be some problems with the correct syncing. Is it logically just to cut the loading screens in publication movies like SoulCal did?

Hi, community! Recently, I have upgraded my PC and now I have a wish to TAS Assignment Ada and Separate Ways for Wii, but, after the release of Ultimate HD Edition for PC, a question arises: is there any sence to TAS these campigns? Ultimate HD Edition has so small loading times comparing to Wii, GC, PS2 etc and there are speedruns which are impossible to beat using Wii. As a result, TAS can't beat speedrun and all submissions (which lose to speedruns in final time) will be rejected. Am I right?

Finally! I looked forward to it for a year, since I watched your NES Metal Gear run. I was following your WIPs! Yes vote!

"I thought I did the best, but I was wrong...!" I think I should watch Spectre! Yes vote! BTW, everybody compared my run to maTO's unsubmitted TAS and no-one even tried to find any improvements in my submission before the publication (excepting Spyke's input-checking)! Anyway, this publication requires a tick!

@Dimon12321 Димон, не возражаешь если отожму у тебя Бонда? Тотыкал немного, там все уровни улучшаемы... думаю надо переделать его заново. Но, если очень хочешь улучшать этот мувик самостоятельно, то могу оставить его тебе; помогу советами, как можно сделать это качественно.
Та пожалуйста! У меня было желание сделать reTAS, даже импрув сделал на последнего босса, но отменить сабмишн не успел (уже опубликовали)! Могу посодействовать в прохождении. Сейчас времени на тасинг вообще нет! Учеба, завещанная самим Ленином, покоя не дает! В 2016 году уже поступать буду. Еще жду TAS на Rambo 3!

Is there any solution to Android?
