Upload started. File is about 600 MB for some reason and I've also made a low-quality streamable encode that weighs 200 MB. So don't expect my encode before some hours.
EDIT: I'm gonna publish this with the encode that just got uploaded.
Sorry to bother you about it but: Mister Epic, is your encode going to be done somewhat soon?
Oh yeah! Sorry about that delay. I have a lot of studying to do these days.
I'm gonna start the upload Friday morning.
EDIT: And why did you delete your post? I think it was appropriate.
Umm... the description is very wrong... [...] And I think it's MUGG, not mugg.
These mistakes can be corrected easily by any editor here. Thanks for pointing that out!
Apparently I suck at describing movies. :P

i found a couple of versions of mplayer for mac that seem pretty abandoned and unsupported. neither of them would even open the movie, though i didn't check any other movies with them, so maybe they're just broken entirely.
i think they were this one (updated in 2005!) and this one (updated in 2010 apparently, but oddly only mentioning OS X 10.5 (10.6 was released in 2009). anyway, i just tried opening it again and it died right away).
if there's a working mplayer for mac, i haven't found it
You can use VLC, since I've changed my way to encode. My encodes work now.

Thanks! Can any publisher remove obsoletions, or you could do it because you're the senior publisher?

I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done in this publication. Next time, I should pay a lot more attention to the submission text.
The encode will probably be live tonight tomorrow, until then, be patient, or get the ROM and the movie file.
I can't belive it took 8 hours to encode this one.

I have a special request for the one who's gonna publish this submission. Please include the link to the first part. Those annotations aren't there for nothing.
What do you think of the use of HQ4X+HQ2X? Does the movie look prettier since I use these filters?
I have an encode in progress already.
And good luck improving the screenshot. This game is codec poison at the best of times.
Yeah. The first time I've dumped the video, it was broken.
I see you're encoding, so I'll simply give you a screenshot.
EDIT: I see why the one you gave us was bad looking, it was automatically streched by Gens. A screenshot made from the AVI wouldn't be a bad idea, but it seems I can't dump an AVI from this game.
On a side note, this would be a nice TAS to see a 30fps blended HQx HD encode made for. Mister Epic, if you get the spare time, would you be able to generate one?
Be sure to apply the HQx filtering before the frame blending, if you do decide to do this. :3
That's what I did for my Magnetica TAS HD encode. The frame blending happens last.
And that's what I will do for this one as well. I will apply HQ3X and HQ2X this time.
I will do it after I've uploaded the SD encode.

The filtered HD encode will come up later.
On my side, I do the HD encodes like Flygon does, but since we found a way to use HQ<digit>X filters in AviSynth, I'm using them to make my encodes look better and less pixelated. But it makes bigger files.
I found out how to manipulate the incoming marbles to shoot, but I still don't know how to manipulate those who are coming from outside the screen. That would be another case to check.
Wouldn't the sequence be changed by introducing the next colour earlier or later?
Or by starting the game at a different frame/with different values in memory?
I found out that the sequence coming from out the screen can be manipulated in-game, by a simple rerecord and/or shooting a marble in different places.
But I will be more focusing on the cannon's load sequence, since I found a really easy way to manipulate the incoming marbles. But it's too hard to explain and does not involve hacking.
