I would say that the use of continues was the main reason, however.
a = # Put source here
b = a.crop(0, 0, -0, 192) # Top screen
c = a.crop(0, 192, -0, -0) # Bottom screen
last = StackHorizontal(b, c)
return last
Note: For Vista and Win7, it should be EVR custom instead of VMR9.I'm not, and was not, considering continues as a way to beat anything, period. Fast, good, doesn't matter. I've got a game over, that doesn't change, the fact that I buy myself a way to continue playing doesn't change the fact that I've got a game over.
Why do you think that's new or clever or whatnot is beyond me. I thought it was common sense not to use them because it cheapens the whole experience completely and invalidates achievements, which is accepted in arcade communities worldwide. That's because everybody can get through any game with unlimited continues, no matter how hard it is, because the challenge in any non-puzzle game consists in the fact of having (extremely) limited resources that require skill to put to good use. If you can't see how making them unlimited in this way is equaled to cheating, I don't know how to explain it anymore.
Some of his points also fail to take into account that, while speedruns in general (and TASes in particular) are ideologically allowed to warp the rules imposed by developers by being unexpectedly precise and arranging circumstances in a way to have additional leverage, they can't warp the definitions and principles of beating the game fairly, such as not using passwords, not using cheats, not using officially documented level skips (unless for a specific reason), and generally not making things easier for the sake of making them easier. His status as a game designer doesn't change that. (In fact, it bears no relation to the subject at hand whatsoever.)
But there have not this glitch. That using method is different way. It cannot be regarded as this one.
I will try to at least do the SD encode (since I got this movie to sync well with Glide64).
I tried reinstalling with no results. And according to every online source i could find VLC does not nor has never supported Lagarith playback?
btw, when i feed the dumped video to x264 i get the message "resize [error]: input colorspace Unknown format is not supported". Any ideas how to fix this?
Does the visual quality really degrade that much in a high-resolution N64 game (which is quite different from games using pixel graphics)? (And even if some color shade gets changed just so slightly, is it really that catastrophic? We are not visual arts purists...)
Nope i didn't realize it might actually be a correct result after all, i'm gonna test this now. Used VLC for playback btw.
I have no idea how to "correctly" dump this video but using the modified .kkapture guide i was able to dump without problems(it seems). However i used the lagarith lossless codec and x264 didn't seem to like that plus i can't playback the movie in any program, i.e i have no idea if it actually produced anything good. But at least it didn't crash. (I was able to dump a perfect quality video using FFV1 but it was too slow framerate and totally out of synch with sound)
I'd like to try, but the only problem is, even with 580 GB of free hard drive space, I'm not sure it's enough space.
I have problems watching the cel-shaded video. I think the video freezes in about 1 minute while the audio still plays.
I'll leave this to you Aktan, and you can just modify the Archive collection I made since I put it in the Speed Runs archive.
You were meaning that, weren't you, Aktan? XD
