So, wait, are you doing a "one hundred percent" run first just because the planning's easier than for an all-out speed run? Well, maybe the end result will help you plan for that, so I won't object.

Thanks to our admin, it is possible to slowly hex-edit up to Wily 3 where we are at the moment. But here is the problem, due to really bad randomness, we've (through hex-editing) lost around 25-30 frames in Bright Man. Now imagine hex-editing Ring, Dust, Skull, Dive, Drill, Toad, Cossack 1, 2, 3, 4, Wily 1 and 2 and losing a few frames during that process. How many frames do you honestly think we would lose? 76 frames is what we would gain for the trick in Pharaoh Man. Around 26 of them are lost due to tremendously bad luck in lag and other stuff. I dont want this to appear as a lame excuse if we would go ahead and finish the "un-hexed" run. But I hope everyone understand my point.
Just keep rerecording those levels until you lose the rest of the 76 frames, and then you'll have a good excuse for not including the trick. Yeah.

It'll be fine, I could listen to my gameboy like a tape player if I wanted to, KD2's music is really good.
Okay, I was just noticing that VisualBoyAdvance makes the sound in some games like Kirby and Lolo a little scratchier than it should be. (Does HAL program their sound funny?)

Well, when I watched the latest movie with an old save state I had made where Link had just reached the Desert Colossus area or any save state afterwards, he always rolled the wrong way. So I took the time to let it run from the very beginning, and that made it work, including from when I made a new save state. It turned out the owl took off in a different direction after the conversation, causing the camera to be somewhere else after that, causing Link to roll to a different place. However, after the cutscene where Nabooru got taken away, Link sidejumped off the building, but he didn't die, merely slipping down safely, swinging his sword, inspecting a patch of soil, and playing around on the menu, so that didn't get me much further.

That just proves you can't light the left eye during the cutscene for the right eye. Given that, it does seem a bit unlikely you can light both eyes at once, but we still don't know what would happen if you hit both eyes with an explosion at the same time. (If it's possible to do so.)
Ooh, could you hack the game to make the explosion bigger to make sure?
