Hello Mosaic and welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately your TAS has already been bested by an existing publication of this title/version: [4471] NES Solitaire by Jigwally in 00:40.93 Best of luck in your future works.

This game can be completed faster with TAB+Space cheat.
Which version do you have? Cause TAB+Space isn't a thing with some flash games, including the version I used.

OK, wasn't sure because the game in this submission is titled "Myst: Masterpiece Edition" instead of just "Myst".
It was an update with images rendered in 24bit truecolor instead of 8bit/256 colors and the audio was remastered/enhanced.

Since this is the fastest version of all of them (also it seems this version is closest to the original).
Mainly cause it is the original.

Or can all versions' fastest TASes exist all together as currently published movies?
They can be published next to one another, after all H.E.R.O. is set like that and probably more unfairly Donkey Kong. I can also re-breakdown each version again if you want here:
  • PC - PC version.
  • DS - Zips (like the PC version, some missing zips but also a redundant one for a zip).
  • PSX - Broken Zips, you can zip from the start.
  • Saturn - No Zips.

Personally. I really, really, really, really, don't want to see the requirement of grabbing a LibRetro core for 2 reasons:
  1. LibRetro's history is complete and utter garbage when it comes to community, and other emulator developers as they harass, and gaslighting the shit out of them. Recent example is with what the did to the DuckStation emu dev stenzek, which thankfully people did see the bullshit LibRetro was trying to pull there. tl;dr private code that stenzek made was ripped out and mummified into whatever trash PlayStation core LibRetro was "keeping up to date" (it isn't) in this case SwanStation which is an extremely out of date DuckStation-- (where have I heard "out of date" and PlayStation core before? Oh mednafen core!-- and Dolphin, and PCSX2, and PPSSPP) was porting for the umpteenth time which cause stenzek to suspend working on DuckStation for several months.
  2. LibRetro does have a habit of updating their cores-- every 5 years so the fact that we would not to self host a specific version of the Pokemon Mini instead of doing probably the better option of porting the actual source code to Hawk than having a reliance on something "unstable".
On a TAS related note, the shaking makes it unwatchable for me. >.> Abstained vote.

A further 77 frames removed from Blue Chamber. Basically better order of operations. This means that White Chamber did have to get adjusted as it was hit by this as well, but no major change from White Chamber besides a code change.

My personal issue with this TAS is that I personally believe this should be an all answers TAS instead. As the GBC version only has 212 words it should be possible. You also play with quite a bit of RNG to avoid getting repeat words either by delaying the next round (which isn't entirely beneficial when you get 3 repeated words a gap) or delaying your input starting that round (or both). This to me is a concept to something more that could be done.

Fun fact: There used to be an srcom board behind this game, and it ended up becoming those who had touch screen monitors were able to go insanely fast. Unfortunately I don't remember what the lowest time for this game is anymore though.

You know, there is a perform option that if you set it as bot, TAS-san will play it for you!
Score doesn't save/retain and as CoolHandMike points out you can't get the maximum score if the bot doesn't do the best drum rolls.

But, are there actual gameplay improvements beside emulation differences?
Considering that you didn't even actually check that input yourself 2 years ago, as all you did was hold the Left button instead of actually checking for variances such as mashing Left, or mashing the screen, or both in which you still break a DS screen as the outcome. Yeah there's a difference compared to yours. This is including going into Options where you didn't disable voices, and then verify if there's a combo with disabling other audio elements and making sure. It's more than emulation differences, when you actually look at what's being done compared to just holding a single button and only have slight variations.

Unfortunately the other submission was canned (it was a double submission of the same time/game) and nothing happened to this one, besides a truncation. To copy and paste what I wrote over, and to keep everyone up to speed. Hello TrueSnokido and welcome to TASVideos. There's another submission which was submitted roughly a month ago that uses a harder difficulty (Time Challenge / Director's Cut) and I'll use what I wrote there and provide here my input file of Act 1 being completed at frame 5708 (on Director's Cut). This is in comparison to your Act 1 being completed at frame 5944 (on Normal). In comparison of each sequence here a breakdown (left is yours, right is mine):
Act 1-1 - 354 / 340
Act 1-2 - 933 / 888
Act 1-3 - 481 / 402
Act 1-4 - 1046 / 981
Act 1-5 - 1744 / 1780
Act 1-5 is a fight sequence to point out that difference in time where the damage dealt and strategies chosen are different depending on the Difficulty (or my input was actually trash fire. Just like my other works). I do wish for the best on your continued work on this project, it's a solid start but more can be looked into. Author's encode can be found here: Link to video And a Light Spike to author's input here.

Important question, will this get a 3D YouTube video? You know, like the Virtual Boy videos?
Considering that Citra isn't set up correctly for that-- probably a bad idea. Also 3DS main encodes are probably going to follow that of DS encodes.

Looks at previous yearly post. lmao Welcome back to 2022, where everything's made up and the Spikestuff was actually re-watching Anime this year but they didn't make a yearly thread so they forgot what they re-watched. :V AniChart shows the latest anime that's out this year or you can bring up something you watched in the past, you can use MyAnimeList to assist. Anything marked in red has been rated M (or higher). Anything marked in blue means I just picked it up late during the season, it will be purple if rated M. It will return to default when I catchup. Anime that have come out so far in 2022 (That I've watched & Completed): Chainsaw Man JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean) Winter '22: Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2 (Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2) My Dress-Up Darling (Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru) - It's honestly a simple SoL anime, and I think that joke page the scanlators made is probably accurate towards the people who are doing something with certain characters. Spring '22: Black★★Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall - THIS IS GOING TO BE TRASH, AND I'M GOING TO LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT. Date a Live IV - THIS IS GOING TO BE TRASH, AND I'M GOING TO RESENT EVERY SECOND OF IT. SPY X FAMILY Summer '22: The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2nd Season (Hataraku Maou-sama! 2nd Season) Fall '22: Kantai Collection: KanColle Zoku-hen - Nice boat warship. Other (Alphabetized): Ajin - Kid gets hit by truck, is an immortal being Ajin 2 - Kid that gets hit by a truck has a squad. #SquadGoals Death Note - Still didn't care for it. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean) - Part 1 of Lesbian Jailhouse Rock. Parasyte: The Maxim (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu)
