I was planning some sort of Wizards & Warriors III FAQ/walkthrough when someone on an IRC channel that I no longer frequent linked me to the TAS on this site. After I finally got the FCM to work, I was very surprised, and I joined the site some time after, mostly with the intent of adding the tricks to the walkthrough. In the end, the "walkthrough" ended up being just a list of various pieces of information that could be useful for TASes.

Lol, I did the same thing before I bookmarked it. I thought of the name as a strange variant of biscuit, which made it somewhat easier to remember.

I've been using FCEU's memory viewer recently (NES -> Debugger -> Memory). After a while of having it open, the game starts to lag, and sometimes the main FCEU window loses the focus to the memory viewer window. This happens in both versions 0.98.13 and 0.98.15. I'm running WinXP Home, if that's relevant. If someone would be willing to look into this and see if it can be improved, it would be much appreciated.

Well, there's costless and unconstrained, but they just don't sound as cool as free, do they?

I found this movie very entertaining. While I don't like the fact that such a major glitch exists in the engine of one of my favorite games, it was put to great use in this movie. Yes vote.

Actually, it is possible to save some time (maybe a second or two) by improving the jump as Kuros enters the third wizard guild. He needs some leftward momentum as he's entering the door, and he'll make it to the top of the steps in one jump.

Harvey Denton: Very nice find. Looks like it's time to cancel another submission of this game. Hopefully that "third time's the charm" thing will apply.

This is an awesome movie. I could never figure out how to get past the first dungeon-type area myself, so most of it was stuff I had never seen. Very amazing boss fights, nonetheless, and playing around with the enemies in levels was entertaining, too. Yes vote.

I remember wandering around underground searching for the treasures when I was young, and you just skipped that entire part. Very amazing. Yes vote.

comicalflop once got Link to zip up the ladder in the room where you get the slingshot, but he hasn't been able to replicate it.

Considering that there are still issues with N64 TASes, I think it will be a while before Gamecube ones.

Do you mean that the AVI plays back too quickly for you?

So does this mean that we shouldn't bother working on DOS TASes?

A pretty funny thing happened when I beat this game for the first (and, so far, only) time. It was Thursday morning when I saw the link on IRC, and I started playing it. I had to go to a research lab for part of the day, so I just left the game on while I was away. When I finally beat it, my time was 7:45. Yes, that's 7 hours and 45 minutes.

I would vote, but I don't know who here is female. Well, other than Vidar, Boco, and WifeXQ. [off topic]

What about the opening music of Wizards & Warriors?

I don't know if this is the proper topic, but I'd like to make a request: Please allow the disabling of L+R/U+D. They can interfere with normal playing. Thank you very much.

In the Play and Record windows, the drop-down boxes are completely blank. Is it supposed to be like this? I recorded a short movie of Need for Speed II, but it desyncs upon playback. The behavior is weird: It seems as if Up is being held down or pressed repeatedly on the main menu, when I wasn't actually pressing anything. Also, the input during the race apparently happens too early, so that the car starts slamming against the wall. It's almost funny how badly the race goes during playback. EDIT: Here are the plug-ins I'm using: Graphics: Pete's D3D Driver 1.76 Controller: N-Rage Plugin 0.95 CD-ROM: Mooby2 cd disk image driver 2.8 Sound: P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver 1.9 BIOS: SCPH1001

I'm apparently not the only Romanian who came up with the idea of using Dacicus as a nick, but I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out which of the various results are me ;).

I've got Bisqwit's SC2 video and probably less than 20 ROMs. Definitely less than 30.

Just when you think the game's been utterly broken... So, when should we expect to have the Door of Time skip figured out? ;) Actually, would that even be helpful at this point?

I've never played the game, but I liked the movie. Most of the things that the different aliens said at the end were funny, so I might try this just to see if they act the same throughout the game. It reminds me of Solar Winds, but with a greater variety of aliens.
