Dream Team Contest number 8 is here! I will be your host.
For people unfamiliar, Dream Team Contest is a competition between teams of TASers who try to create a TAS of a mystery game chosen by the host. You will have a certian amount of time to create a movie of the game, whoever has the fastest movie once the contest is finished will be the winner. The winning team will be engraved in Dream Team Contest history.
Game info
The game will be revealed when signups end but here are some details
The game platform is PCE/TG16
The game genre is Action/Platformer/Top Down. (Some levels are side scrollers and some are top down)
The estimated TAS length is about 10-15 minutes.
Has branching levels.
Will require getting 3 special items in order to defeat the final boss
game is not as difficult as Donald Land.
Rules
You sign up as a 3-4 person team or you can request to be put in a team. You cannot be placed in more than one team, and you cannot be placed multiple times in one team (I for one would not want to see a team of 4 Masterjuns). Each person in a team must post confirmation in the thread that they are participating. You may optionally also provide a team name and a logo; after the contest starts, teams can't be changed.
On October 30th 23:59 UTC sign ups will expire, game name will be revealed and the contest will start.
The teams must provide their movie file to dreamteamcontest8@gmail.com before Jan 17th 23:59 UTC; improvements of the run can still be submitted within the deadline; the deadline can be extended if all teams agree.
In the case an Arbitrary Code Execution/Memory Corruption/SRAM Glitch/Game End Glitch/Wrong Warp Glitch is discovered (looking at you Masterjun), competition will be held for movies both exploiting such a glitch as well as not using it.
The team that provides the movie file that completes the game from power-on to credits the fastest (input end) wins.
The movie should sync on BizHawk 2.3.1, though any Bizhawk 2.x version should work as far as is known. BizHawk 1.x versions have the 1 and 2 buttons swapped in the input log, which results in the movie desyncing if this is not correct, but otherwise movies made on those versions should also sync. In any case please ensure the submitted movie syncs on BizHawk 2.3.1.
The winning team will submit its movie to TASVideos, preferably with any improvements discovered by other teams, and anyone who will contribute will be added to the authors list.
All submissions must also abide by TASVideos rules.
Here are the current sign-ups. Note that individual player sign-ups have time until contest start (30th Oct 23:59 UTC) to decide or change their team; if they don't, they will be randomly shuffled into 4-people teams. If the player amount is not divisible by 4, they will be shuffled into 3 or 2 person teams. If there is only one individual signup, existing teams with 3 players will be asked if they'd be willing to accept the individual onto their team. Remember that team members cannot be changed after signups close, but name and logos can be changed.

Individual player sign-ups
Note please indicate if you are planning to sign up as an individual to be assigned at the start of the contest or are simply expressing interest in joining a planned team.
none at the moment
Looking for more players
Sign-ups are closedThe gameLink to video
Genpei Touma den is an arcade multi-genre game, that contains platforming, fighting, and top down playstyles. The story follows of a Samurai who is resurected and is sent to destroy the monarchy or something.
There is currently an unoptimized TAS that misses some obvious tricks, but should serve as a good refrence. (alternate Nico link for those who prefer it)
Checksums for the PCE ROM file
Important note
In order to defeat the final boss, you need to collect 3 sacred items, a Magmenta, a mirror, and a sword. According to the Walkthrough, there are two places you can get the Magmenta and Mirror, but only one place you can get the sword. Keep this in mind when doing the routing for this game.
Tips
Divide the tasks.
Everyone has own strengths and weaknesses. Make your team members work on different jobs in order to improve efficiency. This is crucial.
Keep in contact.
Use a private and secure chat group of your choice to talk with your teammates about your progress, discoveries, ideas, and share your files.
Play it a lot first.
Game mechanics are easier to understand by playing the game casually, with some code cheating if necessary. Start TASing when you feel that you know enough.
Take note of everything.
Any trick and glitch may come useful in a way or another, even if it does initially not seem. Also remember that your discoveries may come useful after the contest.
Try anything.
Even after you've finished TASing the game, use the remaining time to try and improve the run. A sudden discovery can turn the tide of the contest.
Don't procrastinate
You may make mistakes. However, you have the ability to fix these mistakes but only if you give yourself the time to be able to.
Don't give up.
there is still always the chance for motivation to plummet. Try to keep at it even if you hit a roadblock.
I would like to wish you all the best of luck, the best of fun, and declare the contest started!
The result
The contest is over. Here are the rankings:
#4: Team 1: "Frogs With Afros" in 10:08.262 - Youtube Encode - movie file
#3: Team 3: "Magic Staff" in 9:50.879 - YouTube encode - movie file
#2: Team 5: "Having Second Thoughts" in 9:40.816 - Youtube Encode - movie file

Thank you to everyone that participated and a special congratulations to Team 2 for winning!

If people think that it shouldn’t be placed in moons, the publication’s rating should reflect that. (Not the voting in this submission thread. The actual rating here: http://tasvideos.org/rating.exe/4051/details)

Ah I see. Yeah that sucks.
Unfortunately I dont think N64 emulation will get to that point of decent emulation for awhile.

Do you mean the lag in places like the first boss battle or the emulation being slow?

the glitch wouldnt have anything to do with the naming. as long as the game has a western release, the game will use the western name.
example: http://tasvideos.org/6270S.html
this game was only released in Japan on SNES but uses the english name because of the GBA release in the west.

It's a VBA-Next movie, of course it'd sync on the later versions of BizHawk... under VBA-Next's core.
As for VBA-Next to mGBA, yeah good luck with that, it unfortunately affects RNG heavily like you assumed.
What about adding the bios in VBA-Next?

I will do it in PAL, it’s just having the option to do it in NTSC would be better. But since it doesn’t seem possible right now yeah, PAL it is.

Make an issue on bizhawk tracker, that'd be the proper approach.

Nightmare Busters is a "homebrew" SNES run and gun game. with gameplay simmilar to Sunset Riders.
I really want to do a TAS for this game however I am having trouble trying to find an NTSC version of the game. it seems that when this game was released, it was made to be playable on both PAL and NTSC, but bizhawk only makes it play in PAL mode.
Until I can figure this out, the TAS will have to be in PAL.
here are some speedruns of the game: https://www.speedrun.com/Nightmare_Busters

The point I’m trying to make is lsnes turns alot of people away because of how complicated it can be. You can’t really expect everyone to easily switch to it just because there’s an issue in bizhawk.

Dream Team Contest number 8 is here! I will be your host.
For people unfamiliar, Dream Team Contest is a competition between teams of TASers who try to create a TAS of a mystery game chosen by the host. You will have a certian amount of time to create a movie of the game, whoever has the fastest movie once the contest is finished will be the winner. The winning team will be engraved in Dream Team Contest history.
Game info
The game will be revealed when signups end but here are some details

Genpei Touma den is an arcade multi-genre game, that contains platforming, fighting, and top down playstyles. The story follows of a Samurai who is resurected and is sent to destroy the monarchy or something.
There is currently an unoptimized TAS that misses some obvious tricks, but should serve as a good refrence. (alternate Nico link for those who prefer it)
