Actually I have been waiting a long time for someone to make this TAS or showoff or what ever you wanna call it. :D This is going to be soooo interesting when it's done. On a side note: Wasn't Biker Mice from March pretty much the same thing as RRR? Could be mice (<-haha. Bad typo/bad joke) to see a TAS of that game as well.

If that deviator trick works in genesis I suspect ordos will have one of the upperhands when it comes to TAS:ing this game. Imagine destroying the command center first thing without being killed off. Then all you would have to do is blitzkreig the enemy base. *drool*

If I remember right the battles are quite random from time to time. This game doesn't need to be frame perfect like such. But it would be nice to see a flawless run of the game without loosing a fight etc. Also alot of time could be saved when it comes to training and espionage etc. Perhaps find Charni, or was it Hera that was kidnapped, at first possible sitch. Also time could be saved when it comes to spice harvesting and sending spice to the emperor so that you time it very perfect in order to win more time until next shipment. One question is how many shipments that needs to be sent in order to complete the game. The spice is good if you wanna buy weapons etc at smugglers, and also to survive the game so that the emperor doesn't kill you off.

Found some cool glitches or "cheats" while browsing around som pages. Allthough these are for PC, perhaps some might work for Sega. About what you said Truncated, this is still unverified. Making a unit move quicker This one is fairly easy - units that you can see on the viewing screen move faster than the ones that you can not. The difference is significant enough to shake a trike out of a quad's tail. Making an enemy harvester stand still For this one you will have to sacrifice one soldier or trooper. Find the whereabouts of the enemy harvester, take one soldier and tell it to attack it. Once the harvester takes one shot, it will try to take the poor soldier out by squashing him. When this harvester starts to chase him around just keep moving. Eventually it will crush him and a very weird thing happens - it stops still, and never moves again; unless he gets hit by another soldier. Note - don't destroy it - the free replacement for this harvester will function normally. Tricks with game speed On the slowest game speed rocket launchers have the best accuracy and can shoot a target next to them. On the highest game speed Sonic tanks have medium firing rate and the longest range. If you are playing Ordos and are using a Deviator tank, set the game speed on highest and then just before the shot occurs set it on slowest. The Deviator should shoot about three to five rockets at once. Also if you're using Ordos - a deviated unit stays under your control for a longer peroid of time if game speed is set on highest. Spice machinations To get some free spice fill a harvester with spice to full capacity. It must be one hundred percent. Move it over the clear area of sand and destroy it. A huge spot of spice will be formed in its place. Wait for a replacement or buy a new harvester and send it over to collect spice on that spot. The amount of money collected on that spot will be worth around one thousand eight hundred credits - six hundred (the cost of a new harvester) - seven hundred (the spice that was inside the harvester) = five hundred credits without losing any spice. This is especially useful on a level with small spice amounts. House weapons tips Harkonen Devastator - this one is better as a tank than a remote mine. Each of his shots has 85% of the power of a missile and is more accurate. It does much more carnage when detonated, then when it is killed. Harkonen Death Hand This weapon is super destructive and super inaccurate. Before you shoot this one save the game. Then shoot the missile and if it wasn't a nice hit, reload and shoot again. Ordos Deviator It can brainwash any unit and place it under your control. However, once this unit gets shot once or a certain amount of time passes it goes back to normal. There is a way around it. Once a unit gets deviated, send it to a place where it is likely to get shot by its own units. While it's going click on the task you want it to perform (usually attack) but don't assign it to it yet. Wait for the unit to get back to normal and then assign it. The ideal task is to send it to attack its own base. It is going to obey that last command you gave him and shoot at the building you assigned but it is no longer your color and no defensive systems will shoot at it. Ordos Sabouteur Try using this guy for taking out rocket launchers and turrets. Atredies Sonic Tank A sonic pulse passes right through its target so it can be used against a series of targets. If you are able to capture the enemy Heavy Factory and build your own Sonic Tank, it will not be able to inflict any damage on another Sonic Tank. Fremen They can do some damage to an enemy base but don't rely on them - they are stupid.

Actually this has been a TAS object for me since I played it the first time on PC. But back then I didn't know it was possible to TAS it since I didn't know about the Sega CD clone of the game until a couple of days back or so. To bad that Sega CD isn't very well developed in the emus yet. Allthough it's playable probably.

I was wondering if any of you guys lurking around this forum (active and passive) would like to see a run of this great adventure game? If so I might concider it in the future. Sega CD is a forgotten thing that needs to be promoted once again if you ask me. There are a couple of good titles for it. I also have slight thoughts about Monkey Island. But for now it's dune that comes to mind..

I never tried to properly install the ASPI. But with most other programs I have used it would be enough to just place the wnasp32.dll file in the same dir as the exe file to get it working. Those bioses BTW do have the same name as the ones gens searches for.

I was fiddling around with Sega CD during the weekend but coulden't get it to work. I tried both the official gens version and gens movie test 9f. I have downloaded the proper bioses from Zophar (atleast I think they are proper), and added them in gens under options -> bios/misc or what ever it's called. Then I try to open rom and load a sega cd iso. Then a popup appears telling me that I need to configure my bios. How do I do that? I find no options besides the dir change thingie. Also.. My machine can't find a sega cd. It said "No cd-rom drive located" or something like that. I tried this on a windows machine BTW! Has anyone tried getting this thing running, and did it work well? What did I do wrong? I tried to read the gens help file, but I didn't get much wizer from that either.
