Bisqwit upgraded the Hardware in the system today :)
Was a jump from a Dual P3 450 512 MB RAM setup to an X2 3600+ 2GB RAM.
That's why there was down time. The site should be more responsive now (until site popularity grows enough to negate the noticable benefits of this upgrade).

Truncated, you're right.
Bisqwit will award the Ninja rank to nitsuja at his discretion.
nitsuja: keep up the good work on movies, I can't wait to see what you do next :)

I'll think I'll start by yelling at _Demo_ (ZSNES and ePSXe), at least I know him...

According to DeHackEd, DMG is 60 FPS, but AGB is 59.67, at least in VBA Rerecording 17.

There's a code to get her? O_o!
In that case use the code, since we frown upon using SRAM generally.

The site rules explicitly state to play games on the hardest difficulty.
However for Metal Combat, we can have two runs, one with Standing Tank Tornado, and the other Standing Tank which I forgot it's name.
Edit:
Since Tornado requires an SRAM, you'll have to start from that, and I guess we'll lable such a run as "Second Quest", although someone like Bisqwit will have to elaborate on the rules in this instance.

Well we have one issue which we're having a hard time tracking down, but once that's done, I shouldn't have a problem with getting the rest fixed up.
BTW, it's not just Super Scope games, Mouse games too ;)

The other thing is that Snes9x doesn't record the placement of the shots, or even that the shots were fired. However, the AVI recorder records everything on the screen...
Yes, however ZSNES records Super Scope input, although there are a few issues in ZSNES that need to be fixed up before ZSNES can really be used to make movies.

I was made moderator when Bisqwit first made moderators.
(although I don't post much, I am one of the oldest members of the site)

Amazing.
nitsuja, you should be arrested for speeding.
I never saw anyone else move as fast as you did in Egg Utopia 2.

I went to encode this run, and watching it, I have to question it's quality.
In several places, I notice you start attacking before you can hit the enemy, and the first attack misses. Is this luck manipulation or just not enough precision?
I also noticed in one place you take a big jump to a platform, see that you can't make it, and land on a lower platform then jump higher. My guess would be if you would have taken a small jump to that platform then a big jump, you would have made it faster.

Note that, while they apparently did not fix any bugs at all from SMB3 (and just added one more), they did fix bugs from the earlier games, for instance up+down no longer works on SMB2 ladders, and maybe I'm wrong about this but it seems the physics or collision detection of SMB1/SMB2j were changed a bit.
I found quite a few bugs left in SMB1. For instance the standing on a wall when screen scrolls glitch.

Excellent movie. Finally, first published non warp SMB3 run that is good. Shows how to really play the game. I really enjoyed watching this.
Also when watching this movie, I now realized a few places where SMB3 pays homage to The Lost Levels.
Notice the fortress of World 4:

I wrote such a program, and it's ZSNES specific, and part of ZSNES, fancy that.

Ah, I loved this games when I was younger. I even made ~30 awesome levels for it. Just wish I was able to do more.
I spoke to the author about adding certain features, but he refused. Although he did concede to my request to give away GOT for free :)

There's a phpBB mod that allows staff to see who voted on each poll, but it does not list what their choices were.

I would love to have this completed though...
How did you get to the conclusion that a lot of people didn't care? I think the whole site was excited and many voted, meaning a lot of people did care.
Most threads have less than a dozen replies. Some people also didn't even bother to nominate with specific info, generating more work for me, despite numerous requests to be specific.
However if you want to help finish up the last few threads which weren't completed, then great, I'd gladly wrap this years up. But I don't plan on doing it again next year unless we can get another 1 or 2 people to help things moving that are serious about it.
