we need more bruteforcing :D i think i should learn that lua stuff :(
Mweah, with snes9x.speedmode('maximum') my 2 year old notebook can do around 1200 frames/sec. When you've got something of say 20 frames, and you want to use 4 buttons (say right/up/jump/speed), you got . So Saturn is right, that was probably the most useful bruteforcing we will ever have for this game

EDIT2: Ok, so it turns out he didn't take frames where nothing but B was held, and he's now going to test for that as well. It'll be interesting to see if my pattern holds up :)
Your pattern is the fastest! I didn't try any weird input things, so there is a small chance that there is a faster one... but I'm pretty convinced. Pretty ingenious :-)

Wow, damn good job! You've won another 1/3 of a pixel. :) Can you do the same for the PAL version, just in case?
For PAL it's: >>>.>>>>.>>>.>>.>>>.(B>)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(B>)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(B>)>>>>>>>>>(B>) 157.66796875px :) Here's the rest of the list of "fast" combinations that actually obtained a charge. Doesn't seem to be a distinct pattern, weird game :P.

[edit] Turns out, cpadolf's pattern is still the fastest. I've never considerd frames where you only press the run button. I'll get back on this (and sorry moozooh!)

I've created a lua script where you can 'brute-force' the subx en suby position when flying to the gate. lua script just edit the
for magicXvalue = 18350, 18400 do
  for magicYvalue = 8191, 8191 do
and load the lua script. Then it asks for the movie, load this movie, and hope the gate opens ;) -- added the check if the gate is open by taking a screenshot. You need to download lua-gd and extract to your snes9x folder.

This run was worth the waiting. It's just incredible! Some parts really made me laught. \o/ --- For people who aren't able to view it with snes9x, i've encoded the run. You can stream and/or download it here: http://gromba.nl/cpadolf100p (325MB, h264/aac)

I don't know if anyone still uses my plugin, but i'm out of town until 15 july. You can upload movies yourself at http://metroid.gromba.nl, or you need to wait until I get back :)

Video demonstration for those who can't playback smv files:.
Things like this always bother me; about 30 seconds of work for playing a smv file of 3 seconds. For this, I created a plugin that automatically embeds the movie. (sorry, only firefox) For installing and more information; http://metroid.gromba.nl. [edit] I've only added the movies from the previous page as a proof of concept. You're free to add the movies before that page :P
