Previous Submission Judgement Notes:
GoddessMaria wrote:
Hello, Zekann, and welcome to TASVideos! Unfortunately, your submission does not meet site standards. It must be optimized and beat all known records. In addition to that, the co-creator of this ROM hack has made it known that he does not recommend TASing this game in this stage as it is still being actively worked on which will fix many of the bugs and glitches present in this current build. That being said, I am rejecting this submission.
You are running literally the exact same version as your previous submission that was rejected on top of all that. Light Spike input of 14350 frames. (I'll throw a submission encode since his YouTube and the Spiked time doesn't match and I can't bother checking it sidebyside for level and input comparisons.)

Ok thanks for the encode. Questions: Final Flash appears to be Vegeta's fastest move however you don't keep to it on all the fights and instead go for a combo move. Why is that? Also. Why is it when you're doing Final Flash that it fails to One Hit? Isn't it possible for it to to make it a One Hit move without issue, even with a bit of waiting? Entertainment is a No from me. And goodbye to those few souls that get a seizure from this.

It won't load .bin? Shoot, then I need to find another game file. I'll report back if anything changes.
bin/cue is the combo. Don't delete your bins! Redump has all the cue files (cue's are fine to distribute, since it contains no game data), all you have to do is go to that site, grab the list collection of PS1 games, find the games you want, open the cue files (with a text editor) and match it to your bin.

Did you load the cue? -- Make sure you have prereq installed, and the necessary updates to your laptop if it's very new. And then check the three bioses if that is the issue.

Wow - you beat Dooty's run by a few seconds
Dooty's deliberately forgoes the use of upgrades this run that uses upgrades (and it's more than a few seconds). -- Just a quick question since you are bringing him up. RallyFTW created a full USA% TAS as well which you've mentioned in your submission text. Now you have him beat on the later levels except the first one at Las Vegas. He pulls in a 1'51"06 while you come in behind with a 1'51"11. Do we have an explanation for this?

Didn't expect you to respond that quickly wasn't really done honestly so now I get to make a new reply. --- On the topic of passwords... You should type in your passwords better: (It's a gif at 30fps since 60fps causes issues unless I went straight video but the point goes across) The center represents your input but corrected to a point where you can input faster. A input isn't your only input you can use, you have X/Y/B as well at your disposal. The modified input is only 4 frames faster from original, whilst my own input is almost 60 frames faster.

(I stalked your YouTube account so I already watched it. Didn't expect a submission without refinement... especially with a TAS created so soon.) This is almost double to your other submission. 6353 frames (01:45.71) of blank input removed. You can slim off more if you want to get a lower TAS time but whatever author's choice. Oh and Challenger's point about a Soft Reset reapplies here too since you didn't do it... again. 100% means all tracks (64 tracks), however you didn't perform all the tracks. Also your math is off (64 - 9 = 55) not 54 as you have written, otherwise that's 10 tracks. So which is it? Main complaint is using a Cheat in order to get the highest spec. car in order to advance through this entire game. I personally prefer the actual upgrade as you go along route compared to A -> Z congrats you have a beast of a car. Terms of Branch needing to be rewritten as: "all tracks, super car, wall glitches" Then again in actual reality on how the branch would be it would be this: "54 tracks, passwords". In terms of votes, I want to vote No on entertainment for the deliberate use of passwords to get the high spec cause I lose the entertainment value in that. However instead I'm just going to abstain instead.

Since we're talking about the core Octoshock, which is based on the core provided by mednafen, it's best to use what mednafen recommends. https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/psx.html#Section_firmware_bios This is also what BizHawk recommends over everything else. As for SCPH-7003. It syncs on SCPH-5501.

Which is also the era of using PCSX-rr/psxjin. This is also the most common BIOS yes. However, it's also the BIOS/model that has issues such as FMV skipping. (Also in terms of BIOSes, it's the first and least up-to-date one in terms of the PS1 model lineup.) And in a bias opinion. We'd rather avoid encoding anything using the 1xxx series of bioses. (Yes, this is only the Japanese Bios where it occurs, but the overall picture should make sense)

Pro: People don't see old movies on the YouTube. Con: People don't see old movies on the YouTube. Con: People don't see the History of a movie on YouTube if they so desire to wanting to see it.

Con: Forces people to search on TASVideos Website. Con: SystemTVCControl isn't automatic for a long time. So manually making a Video Unlisted takes more time than just hitting Update and making it have [Obsoleted] next to its name. I'm obviously missing a lot more Cons, and some few more Pros. But that's what I have on the top of my head.

The Case of Mappy. The game has 4 Bonuses, 12 Rounds before loops. Up in all that's 16 levels. I'm pointing this out so I can ignore the bonuses as all you have to do is just go and die quickly. So after doing the 12 Rounds it loops back round to the first round. All you have to do is lightly modify my input by trimming the input to adjust for Mappy's speed increase and interject for whenever the Bonus shows up. That's all. Heck you can straight avoid any RNG changes that the game would throw at you if you know what you're doing (This was found out thanks in part to dwangoAC and attempting to resync the game for console). There is nothing major for the game to actually consider a re-TAS or an update as it's already done what the purpose was done for. For all that matters for when the TAS was created it did the loop. There are videos on YouTube that do more than 16 levels that can back my claim of 12 Rounds and loop. If you want to point at actual cases. The TASes for MSX & SG1000 Galaga covers it for you by not actually hitting loop like I've pointed out on both of them post publication. Bonus: Mario Bros. (if it gets brought up) I did more Phases than I should've and realized the game was looping the same phases and was basically dependent on RNG for positioning. (which you can control location on where the enemies spawn) So it too did the loop.

Hello Rewstarr and welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately doing a single level is not accepted at TASVideos even though in speedrunning it is. This is an issue that certain speedrunning communities would do by having a random miscellaneous category as their main category for some time without fixing it. It seems the Road Rash community is looking at fixing that mistake by having "100%" as their main category of interest. The TAS has a low rerecord count for a movie that's about racing so either it's experience or some other reason you should look into your input further. The TAS also doesn't end on last frame of input, so light Spike is here: 48031197209110527

Nowhere close what I meant. I was asking you to point out which one on your YouTube account is the encode. Since the Spiked Input (nor your submitted file) doesn't match any of your encodes you have on your account. Actually, talking about that input. You can slim off more. Since you continue to hold the accelerator even after crossing the line. And then there's the issue of not using all your fuel. I did it for you anyways cause I checked alongside the movie and latest full video you have provided.

Cool you answered 2 of my points with a hitch as the second point was confirmed by Challenger that it is questionable since you can get to the menu faster. You have it quoted but you didn't answer it. So I'm just going to ask it again:
Spikestuff wrote:
Also per to the encode to your YouTube account. Which one is it? Cause looking at your account and the corrected input I can't match it.
Thanks. Also you wrote more information here in the forums than in your submission text which desperately needs it. You need a lot more information than just copying what we have as our Movie Publication text.

>Single Cup (or whatever it is) Oh boi. Issue with this is you should've been aiming to complete the entire game not a single cup? Good first attempt with maybe questionable menuing input. Light Spike of 3500 frames. Also per to the encode to your YouTube account. Which one is it? Cause looking at your account and the corrected input I can't match it.

So for the sake of giving an answer. The error that I was still yet to have with my main system and have been notified by others on them having the same issue as you is due to x264-64bit and the version I have. This isn't the first time (10bit & YouTube) an error like this has happened to me (this case was longer loads than expected and whatever 10bit was doing). Do I know the reason why? No. Since everything else I've published in the past is fine. Do you know the issue? No. 512kb has been switched with my Older system's encode. I'm waiting on feos or fsvgm to pass me a link to the latest version of 64bit (since I'm using the one provided in encoding package) and I'll re-verify it later.

same frame as our suggested screenshot (5-1) from our submission text
Would help to write "Suggested Screen" or "I suggest this screenshot" or "I wish for this screenshot for publication". I just assumed it was a random screenshot. Downloadables: I ain't correcting the 512kb (mp4) as there's an issue on your end not mine. 10bit444 was already corrected. I let a slip go by (fun fact there was 2 errors in the 10bit besides the one you ended up seeing which I corrected beforehand, so I actually do give a damn about downloadables).

There's a bit of information missing. - What core are you using (Basically what console)? - What version of Hawk are you using? - What game are you trying to run?

Oh that's the death I was looking for that I promised to claim 1/2 years ago... Shit. I claimed this. (Someone remind me to split by disks too.) Double shit 100% is coming. Will vote whenever I rewatch it. (Also requesting the subtitles please... oh God I made it worse.) And that's a Yes Vote.

Get the facts straight. It's based of The Great Giana Sisters which itself is a knockoff of Super Mario Bros.. You don't skip the game where where the clone is based on and jump what the original is knocking off. No Vote.

> Top Gear TAS Remake Bordeaux France > 1 player without any explanation as to why. Specifically one level? With your style it's probably best to refurbish over the entire game and actually make it optimal.

One's "Early" Input. The other is Early Ending Input and fastest possible In-Game Time (which TASVideos allows). I'm siding over the Movie that's Publish (and actually gets a time) and not this Submission. Abstained. Heck. Anyone could've trimmed either movie and created their own fastest early input.

I've mentioned it to mednafen forums, but I'll echo it here: PS1 Game: Grind Session (USA) Game fails to load after leaving a Tutorial/Level and the music fails to play when ingame.

Hi Trung. Welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately your TAS is slower than the currently published movie: [1715] NES Super Mario Bros. "warps" by HappyLee in 04:57.31 Please check the guide in order to improve on your TASing: http://tasvideos.org/TASingGuide.html
