Have any of you actually read the side by side comparisons and done you're own tests?

Sleepz: Just alternate and don't put two clips from the same game near each other, when you ran through all the games, show the second clips from the games.

Looks like your adding / before the filename. Before adding a /, check to see if the last char is already a /

Another possibility, of course, is to use DivX directly for encoding.
Since the latest DivX takes 5 times as long to encode as the latest XviD, I don't really see why anypne would want to use DivX when the quality is pretty much neck and neck.

No need for anyone to go wild about hosting a special Snes9x. We plan on releasing an Snes9x shortly, with whatever stuff Blip and Bisqwit whip up. Of course in addition to other stuff we're working on ;)

Beethoven's 3rd? Edit: Totally forgot O_O We need something from Blue Shadow. Maybe the boss fight from 1-1? And maybe that part towards the end where Exim is running right faster than the screen can scroll right.

A short two min commercial for the site would be cool as suggested here http://tasvideos.org/forum/p/3972 So can people start listing a few short things which they thought rocked? Genisto smacking Birdo with a key. Sleepz beating tri with toad. Genisto blasting the plants in 8-2 before they were even on screen. Sleepz grabbing dale. Any big fist from battletoads.

A site ad, not a bad idea. Just a 2 min vid with some snips of the best scenes would rock. Don't forget to have awesome music in the background. Should start a thread about this.

For the record, 'the Clone' is named Copy Robot.
Is it mentioned in one of the games he appears? He goes by a few different names in the various games. I know for a fact he went by the name Dark Moon in MMV.

While working on C4 support, I played MMX2 tons of times, but for some reason I'm drawing a few blanks :P Make sure you get the shoryuken, since you can kill the 3rd X Hunter in one hit, and both versions of Sigma in one or two hits each. I have videos of me doing that somewhere...

I think having the regulars being able to log in and get personalized stuff would rock. Show me which movies I haven't downloaded yet (unless I chose to ignore some). Ability to monitor certain games which I like would be cool too.

Possibly just allow players and certain trusted individuals to work on the content?

Well when the hand come on the screen in this hack, it always drew the same thing in each area.

Someone went ahead and took the movie recording code from VBA, modified it a bit and sent it to _Demo_. _Demo_ sent it to pagefault who modified it a bit, and now has ZMV->AVI. Read more about it on the ZSNES Board.

Maybe I'll pick up my SMB hack project then if I ever find the time. I originally started my SMB hack project trying to recreate a pirated version of SMB I saw as a kid - wasn't succesful, but I tried :P I would still like to find that hack. A friend of mine had one of those a bazillion in one NES pirate carts. It had SMB1, Donkey Kong and several other classics, but the pinacle was the hacked SMB they bundled in there. From what I remember, level 1-1 starts out looking normal, but half way through the level, you see a hand come onto the screen and starts drawing a new level where you were just about to walk. It was really cool. 2-2 was totally different, think lost levels difficulty * 5. Was really neat to decide how to make a certain jump, when while you're jumping you end up in a completely different level.

Hmm...actually, I just remembered those falling blocks in Spark Man's level in MM3 don't seem to be able to kill you outright, just damage you...though that may just be because they're sprites, dunno if they get changed to background tiles once they finish falling...
I don't remember the NES one, but in the game boy one, if you're directly under one, it'll kill you, and if you get hit by the edge of it when it's falling, you just take damage.

When did this come out? I haven't done SMB hacking in ~5 years, and didn't have all this cool stuff back then.

YY's tool? I found it had some limitations. A lot of stuff I wanted to do required me to sit down with a hex editor, but at least it took the pain out of the general level design.

Being that I hacked the game a while back, I've seen a lot of messed up stuff. Level 4-4 underwater was interesting. Anyone who has spent time fooling with the games engine I'm sure has seen all this crazy stuff and more.

Getting Zero's Arm Cannon before he dies requires getting the helmet upgrade.

It's the 9th game that follows the original style. Well, if you want to count the game boy ones, then no. Don't know any of the Japanese ones sorry. I also mentioned Power Battle and Power FIghters already. Calling it 8.5, I know, I tried hacking the game once. You really missed the direction of my original post. ANGERFIST was asking about MM 7, 8, I figured he'd ask about what many people call 9. Ask you can see I put MM9 in () for a reason.

Yes there is no Megaman 9, you missed my point. Megaman & Bass is the 9th game in the original Megaman series and follows 8. Well, unless you count the two arcade games.
