Anything i do, BizHawk closes. Please help
I do have the same problem and haven't seen any solution for it.
Has anyone who had this problem, figured this out ?
It crashes on Bizhawk 2.x but works fine with 1.11.9 though.

Bizhawk for the Playstation.
I see the Trace Logger but don't understand how it works.
EDIT : Should I go before the frame it changes. Press Logging and advance a frame ?
EDIT 2 : Ok, when I do that, the address I'm investigating appears in the log, so that seems to be the way to do it.
I found this part of the code that does include my relevant address (0x75E26)

I tried to use the debugger and set a breakpoint. The game paused when the value is written, but then what ? Can't seem to find any tutorial anywhere. But maybe I'm just not good at searching haha.

I'm playing on Bizhawk 2.3 PSX.
I have an address which update when I press a button.
Depending on the frame I pressed it, you're supposed to have 8 differents outcomes possible with a 1/8 chance for each.
However, no matter how many time I tried, I got all the 7 other outcomes except the one I want.
I know it's possible since I had it on my first testrun in less than 10 tries, but I went back to modify things earlier and now I can't get it anymore.
So I think there is another address at play that is different now and forbids me to get it.
How can I find which addresses influence this result ? Reverse engineering or something ? What tools can I use ?
Thanks.

I don't know anything about LTTP so I can't comment on how optimal things look and are but this is a really beautiful video. I watched it in its entirety which is a sign of high entertainment for someone like me.
Good luck with your second draft and will be really looking forward to it :)

Edit: Take a look how I play around. with X position before going for the right spot. Thing is I tried again from same spot after running around and it didn't work the same way.

Haven't found the subpixels addresses but you'll notice if you just press Up that after a few frames your X position changes. So this means Cloud doesn't exactly move along the Y line and there is indeed subpixels.
The correct starting point seems to be 172;179 with unknown subpixels.
From this point you can go to Y = 187-188
Then Up+Left until Y = 185 (going Up+Left then Down+Right might be needed to find the correct X)
Once you are in Y=185 with the correct X and subpixels, going Down+Right will clip.

I'll try to look but I think you'll have better luck with someone that knows assembler than me :p
From what I can tell to go to at least 187 vertically you need to start from 179, anything after it will not make you go far enough.
Once you've reached this point it's pretty easy though.
I'll see if I can optimize it.
EDIT : X 172 Y 179 seems like the spot to start indeed.

Wasn't home the last few days so I haven't look it up.
I used 0x114464 for X
and 0x114468 for Y
they are probably not the right addresses but they seem to move along with Cloud in this particular spot.
EDIT : Just managed to go through too.
I will try to record a movie from Savestate.
EDIT 2 :
Movie : http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/48712653946185093
Encode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXgubZ7lRAI
Everytime you clip a little bit vertically, you should go up and left to make your X position more to the left. The X position is actually the most important ! The more you are inside the guard horizontally, the further you clip vertically.
After a little bit you'll clip.
If optimized, should just take a few seconds.

Don't worry. I don't have time either to check tonight but you're indeed way further.
I couldn't get past Y=184 and you're at 189 on this savestate. I will investigate this tommorrow. Thanks.

Do you happen to have a movie recorded so we can analyze what to do ?
I just tried for quite some time again, and while I can slightly change my X position, the Y position on the image is as far as I managed to go.

Bizhawk has a built in avi dumping function, you don't need to use an external recording program like OBS unless you really want the frame count and inputs in the encode. I'm suggesting this because the temp encode here seems to be blurrier than watching it back in the actual emulator.
Even then, you can just check "Capture OSD" and you'll have frame count and inputs displayed on the AVI

Not sure.
I managed to clip pretty far into the guard to a place that seems close to the video made by Tsunamods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2OkvM6bmZo
but despite trying for quite some time and many inputs combinations, Cloud stays at the same place.
So I think it's possible but I missed something.

It is allowed as long as one is still loading an image for the same game, not a blank image, nor some other game. As I said, for games that require multiple disks, this is possible and allowed.

So, for example, in Final Fantasy VII we can swap Discs to load the wrong FMV and have a shorter one ? It would save a lot of time but I don't feel it would be correct.

Oh boy, what's the estimated total time?
I don't know. Between 25 and 30 hours I guess. Not sure I'll submit it to TASVideos though since past Disc 4 it's just hours of grinding which will be really boring.
I also updated the comments.lua file to address the couple things pointed out by luzbelheim on twitch.
Here it is : http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/47905649263676431

It is possible, but as soon as you unequip it, your inventory goes back to 99 and not 100.
So in theory you can have 99 Javelin and 99 Silver Gloves + 1 Save the Queen.
But there are other missable items were this couldn't work.
Like Zorlin Shape. You can get 99 of them, but then you need to use it on Sargatanas, Thief Gloves and Masamune. And as Zidane is the only one that can equip it, you can't have 99 of it if you synthesize everything, even just once.

Yeah, the problem is not the time it would take, but that it's impossible to have all at 99.
Let's take the 'Save the Queen' for example.
It's synthesize with 'Javelin' and 'Silver Gloves'.
But by the time you reach the location to synthesize them, 'Javelin' and 'Silver Gloves' are no longer obtainable.
You can buy 99 Javelins and 99 Silver Gloves early, but then you'd have to make a choice.
98 Javelins, 98 Silver Gloves and 1 Save the Queen ?
97 Save the Queen, 2 Silver Gloves and 2 Javelins ?
and so on.
The guide decided to settle for a "less arbitrary" amount, which is one equippable and one in inventory, so 2 Javelins, 3 Silver Gloves and 1 Save the Queen, which is what made the most sense to me so I followed it.
For the other items, I might go for 99, still unsure. It would require hours of Chocobo Hot N Cold for the Gil and Points necessary.

I was wondering recently how this project was coming along!
I eagerly look forward to the final result, whenever it's done :D
Before I took a long break, I was in the process of resyncing the Leftovers after adding a few improvments.
At the moment it's still in the middle of fighting Yans for levelling up.

Indeed.
By the way, the project is still alive, I just haven't worked on it in a while.
There is a lot of things I do before Excalibur II that a segmented run would do post.
Like Frog catching, Blue Magic, Ragtimer, picking up nearly every chest and so on.
In addition to not skipping cutscenes, there are also loading times in Bizhawk that are way longer than a PS2 with Fast Disc Speed.
If I had done only the necessary stuffs listed in gamefaqs, I would have got Excalibur II way before the 12 hours mark, but the total time in the end would be much longer.
So I think it's possible but I missed something.
