So exactly what doesn't work? Programmer? Got any .m64 that i can watch so i see the problem myself? And it would be a shame if you'd give up Perfect Dark becouse it would be so awesome TAS'ed. If everything else fails i'd even suggest the no-glitch strat. Oh and could someone please tell me how to save a save state so that i don't have to watch through the my entire .m64 every time i continue recording? It's getting annoying.
1) what determines the starting location of the stars on the map and the order in which they appear? Frame number? 2) use all minigames or only the easy ones? That would get boring if they were repeated or simple. 3) which minigames would be fastest to complete? Don't know. 4) Is it faster to buy stars or steal them using Boo/chance time? I don't think the regular game is possible to do speedwise since it's a set turn limit, just the mini-games would be good. 5) which partner would be most useful during the duels? Don't know. 6) Is it beneficial to move 10 steps every turn? Depends where you are. 7) can you manipulate the items Toad/baby Bowser give you after you answer their question? Of course. 8) Would buying the magic lamp, getting 20 coins and then using the lamp be any faster than just getting 20 coins and reaching the star? Depends on the situation. 9) Where are the locations of the spots where, if you land on them, they give you an item, and can you manipulate them to give you a star every time? Does it matter? 10) Does the emulation encounter frequent desynchs? Desyncs aren't predictable.
the Wii console supports region locking technology. But it's up to each publisher/developer to decide if their game will be locked or not. Last i heard, all games made by nintendo are going to be region free.
Also, using one controller is simply easier for viewers, so that they don't have to noodle around with settings to get it to work. Basically, it requires everyone to both have N-Rage plugin AND an external controller just to watch, I think it'd be so much easier if second controller was removed, especially since I showed how with one controller you can get the same effect.
It really shouldn't, since you can use the same controller to navigate to select Fox, very hard, then stock, and you have 10+ frames to wait and press start with the same controller. Do use the keyboard or an external controller? and while I respect that you prefer it, it makes it difficult for myself and others to view it because you need both controllers present, which I can;t seem to initiate in the input settings.
