Where a game has multiple difficulty levels, it is preferred to play on the hardest difficulty level (for more interesting gameplay) unless the only difference between difficulty levels is enemy/boss hit points, in which case the easiest difficulty levels are preferred in the interest of speed.

Well, there is obviously a problem with the formatting of the log. There should be an indication of what register you are looking at.
My guess is that the 17 values are R0, R1, R2... R14, R15 and the last one is maybe CPSR (Current Program Status Register).
However, the problem with the formatting still remains and should be fixed.
The PC should be at the start (looking at R15 for that isn't good) and the registers should be indicated, even if that makes lines really long.

You are probably seeing different processor registers, such as the accumulator (usually a simple A) or general-purpose registers.
Without a register like an accumulator, it would be necessary to write the result of each calculation (addition, multiplication, shift, etc.) to main memory, perhaps only to be read right back again for use in the next operation.

Let's see here...
This is the TASVideos forum, and you are were in the General part of it.
When I read the post it seemed like it was pretty game-specific, but since this is was the General forum, I thought maybe it's more of a question about debug features in general and if they are allowed in TASes.
Though, I didn't really understand the quote, as there is no mention about the actual game being talked about.
Then I saw the strawpoll link, thus making a discussion thread about this pointless.
(If you decide by poll, why discuss. If you decide by discussion, why post the link?)
PS: It's SPEEDRUN WISE! (non TAS!)
This is not something you add as a postscript!

How would you go about making this script work with touchscreen inputs in DeSmuME?
Considering the touchscreen of DeSmuME is 256 x 193 pixels (yes 193, it ranges from 0 to 192, don't ask me why), which means 49408 possible input combinations, it's a bit worse than having 15 additional buttons to check for the script.

Hurray for being an annoying plot device \o/
However, I really like the idea of Nach being the final boss :D
oh wait this is not a game, this is an anime... well then... the final... uuh... the final super villain, yeah...

Please stop joking around without any obvious indication of the joke. It might be actually taken seriously.

I’m sorry if they’re upset but it’s a fact.
No.
While it might be true that you are able to prove that you TAS intelligently, you are not going to prove that everyone else on this website is not TASing intelligently!

Don't you think that collaboration is intelligent TASing?
Btw, you still let your ego get in your way.

I suggest that you try to be less hostile towards literally everyone else on this website.
I don’t think that was that bad of a message. I didn’t even swear or insult anyone directly. Also, you’re one of the few TASers I respect, don’t be mad.
Then, how about I use that respect to give you some helpful tips?
You claim yourself to be the only person TASing intelligently on this website, which I hope is simply an exaggeration you used to get the point of bad optimization across. I call it an exaggeration because it seems like this claim is plain wrong, as you did nothing to prove it.
Be careful with exaggerations, as they might hurt other people if done wrong.

Don’t make me lose faith in other TASers more than I already have.
Now, instead of losing faith in other TASers, how about you think about the one way of TASing that is even better than competition: collaboration.
Instead of letting other people figure something out, try working together, sharing ideas and pointing out mistakes in a direct manner, without letting your ego get in the way.

See, you should change your attitude towards everyone else on this website.
You should try to see things from another perspective, from another point of view. It would have made you realize that everyone else on this website might be upset about being told that they don't TAS intelligently.

Isn't using the glitch similar to simply drawing a picture, then pressing Erase and then drawing an invisible answer? (And I mean similar in the game's point of view)

You can't use Cheat Engine to check the game code. Cheat Engine will disassemble the Emulator code, which doesn't help you really.
A Debug version of Dolphin could help figuring out stuff (I used it for RNG and so on).

Spoiler tags are not for hiding huge pictures, they are for hiding spoilers.
Just don't embed the images, simply post the link!
