With no tas-input/more-save-fixes?
It doesn't even include more-save-fixes? I must have been confused by your post in the Dolphin Development thread, because I thought everything was merged in the master branch. That's not the case?

It's like they're totally disrespecting our whole community and the opinion of the majority of the users here. How many people are going to want to use an emulator named BizHawk, and how many casual gamers want to make movie files with the extension ".tas"??

Why bother with such a topic? Your arguments are worthless, the developers picked a name and they're sticking with it.
Why does this have to be the case? They made the emulator for the community, for us. Shouldn't our opinion matter?! Do we as users who frequent the site not matter at all to them??

I haven't been able to work on it recently due to schoolwork (especially long English papers), but I left off at the frame I entered Kroop's house. I really want to work on it, though, and I know I will have time to do so in about half a week from now.
I finally have free time, as I am now on Spring Break. I will be re-syncing my movie on 3.0-493 (since 494 breaks the Bounding Box fixes), and then I will continue Chapter 1.
EDIT: Never mind, I'm using this version (64-bit) of the second-latest revision, 3.0-505, with the broken graphical fixes fixed.

Thanks for the encode, ThatGugaWhoPlay!
No offense to Spikestuff, but this looks a lot better. Some jumps are really good, and Kuzco moves faster throughout. The music definitely wasn't picked well for each level, but that's not your fault. Yes vote!
I don't know why they put an angry Yzma picture in the end screen. Especially when you expect your reward for finishing the game to be something...less scary.

This doesn't beat the published run, and uses the wrong ROM version. I have to vote No on this one. Keep trying, mat1er, and you will be able to make a publishable run!

Why don't you do it, and prove that it's possible?

no way, kid
You really shouldn't call everyone who is not as good at TASing as you a "kid". The author is just learning to TAS, so there's no reason for you to discourage him or her. Besides, you have no way of knowing whether the author is a kid or not. It's possible he or she just can't speak English well or is mentally handicapped, and it wouldn't be right to discourage him or her in those situations either.

How does what we're discussing relate to politics? Besides, we're not talking about "random...things". Warp asked a question, and we started a small discussion on the topic of his question.

Right. I guess I was rambling a little bit. I'm not sure why an 18 year old person is considered an adult either. Were you talking about the difference between pornographic pictures of a 17-year-old "child" and an 18-year-old "adult"? I don't see a difference either. Yet possession of pictures of only the former example is illegal. It's a difference of a year or less, so they should either both be illegal or both be legal.

I have always wondered why a person who's 17 years and 11 months old is considered a "child", but a month later he's suddenly an "adult". Is there a switch somewhere in people's brains that switches positions exactly at 18 years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds?
I think it's based on the law that says you're an adult at age 18. In the U.S. at least (and some other countries, I assume), someone who's 18 can legally do anything - vote, sell items to pawn shops, buy stock, etc. It gives a person a lot more freedom. So I guess that's why turning 18 is such a big deal. Of course there are adults that act like children, and probably always will. If there is a mental switch in people's minds, it might be the person making a resolution: "I'm 18 now, I should grow up and be more mature from now on." Not many people make that change right away, though, and usually you'll notice a person has grown up by his or her mid-20s.
Of course, I speak not from experience, but from observation.

The "model reader" of The Time Machine would be a contemporary of H.G. Wells, who would not have the benefit of the 115 years of scientific endeavor we've experienced since the book was written. We know that scientific consensus agrees time travel of a sort resembling that in The Time Machine is "fantasy," but H.G. Wells certainly didn't know that. In 1895, the fantastic conceit that H. G. Wells asked his readers to accept as the foundation of his novel (this is known as "suspension of disbelief") was plausible for his time. He established a conceivable premise, then followed the logical implications of that premise in a world that was otherwise indistinguishable from that of his model readers. Ergo, science fiction.
H.G. Wells did this when he wrote The War of the Worlds too, which I just read (and I recommend it). There was still a general belief that life on Mars could exist, due to what the public believed were "canals" on Mars. Wells wanted to use this belief to show that intelligent life could exist on Mars, possibly with intelligence and weaponry superior to that of the earth's inhabitants in 1898.

Unless it breaks something in your game, i'd definitely recommend it, yes. The more-save-fixes branch is just getting way too far behind.
...
But again, i'd highly recommend upgrading if you can easily do so. The newer revisions are not only much faster, but also less buggy.
All right, you've convinced me to change to this revision. Thank you in advance. Every time so far you've convinced me to start using a new revision, I find I really need the new features and accurate/fast emulation of the revision you suggest.

So this latest official build is the recommended revision now?
Well, with that and the encoding breakthroughs, it looks like I'll probably have to switch my movie to this revision anyway.

I really like the new glitch (though it makes this game look even more like Pokémon) and how much time it saves. This seems like a really short run now.
Nice job. Your hard work paid off. Yes vote!
So that build keeps the emulation speed of the pre-PokéPark fix revisions as well as the fix itself? And it still doesn't include the more-save-fixes or TAS-input changes, right?

This might be what you're looking for.

6999 wasn't a random number I was originaly going for either 7000/9001 or 6789 (that did pop up aswell 6789)
Was 6789 your actual rerecord number? Why would you load 210 more savestates just to get a different number?
Glad you finished this. I'll watch the run now.

As adult bushes drop 5 rupees. Slashing each one costs averagely 30 seconds. So getting 40 rupees would take around 4 seconds and it can be done even quicker, because you can slash more than one bush with one slash.
To clearify, he means 0.30 seconds.
Pretty sure he means 30 frames.
Doesn't this game run at 20 FPS? 40 rupees in 4 seconds would mean taking 10 frames to slash each of the 8 bushes. Or if it takes 0.3 second to slash each bush, it would take 2.4 seconds to get 40 rupees. And 30 frames would be 1.5 seconds, so if it takes that long to slash a bush, then it would take 12 seconds to get 40 rupees. So which is right then?
