i had to use the recovery disk to repair my PC, why did this happen?
This happened because you don't know how to properly fix a Windows PC. You should have taken it somewhere or you should make friends with nerds and geeks.
As for why it broke, I couldn't tell you, I don't have enough information. If you need help in the future with this, turn off automatic restart on system failure, and find a place to upload the contents of your C:\Windows\Minidump directory so people in the know can repair your computer.

I'm doing a glitched playthrough on my GBA, so far i'm at vermillion with HM01 (cut), but which badge lets you use cut?
(by the way how do you do the EXP underflow glitch?)
Cerulean Gym (Misty) lets you use cut. Experience underflow isn't possible on GBA, to my knowledge, since it's able to handle larger numbers than Game Boy was.
That would simply mean that the underflow would be more severe. Which in either case would mean a lvl100 pokemon.

You're getting the no Hard Drive detected error because you're missing the drivers to your Hard Drive controller, and they're not built into XP. You need to get the drivers from your motherboard manufacturer and put them on a floppy, then in the part of the install where it asks you to hit F6 (or was it F2) to load additional drivers, do that.
If you don't have a floppy drive on your computer you can use an external floppy drive hooked up via USB.

moozooh: I am curious how you find the subpixel adress. Do you look on adresses near the whole pixel adress, or is it by the usual way of searching?
Perhaps this calls for a new topic...
It's right next to the address for X position. It normally is in most games.

There's a bug with super missiles that I need to fix for Insanity anyways, so I'll start disassembling that code and see if I can turn up anything useful there.
Another one besides the "when one super missle is destroyed they all are?" Do tell what this bug is.
And how is Insanity coming along anyway?

This game is far too broken to consider anything other than a glitched run. Three categories I had in mind are:
1) As fast as possible.
2) As fast as possible while killing Ganon.
3) 100%
Anything goes those are the goals.
The reason why I think a "glitchless" run is not doable in this game is because there isn't a good way to quantify a non-EG run, because the same glitches that can be used to start the EG also have other "legitimate" uses, and there's simply far too many ways to get into walls (voidwalking, stair omit, water warping, DMD.)

For example, go straight to smitty, get the master sword. Go to death mountain, and warp into the dark world as the bunny. Go fail against Gannon as super bunny. Bunny Link dies.
Get the silver arrows, fire rod, and final sword. Go get zelda from the first part of the game. Have her follow you into Gannon's final chamber. If she were there for the final fight, it would be ridiculously funny.
"Zelda, I'll save you!"
" I'm ... right... here."
Methinks you need to play this game (again?)

If one were to redo this game, which emulator should be used? Because using v20 makes me lose frames in the beginning of the game makes me lose 17 frames for some reason which I find not completely straight, and I do not want that to happen.
It emulates the game accurately. v19 doesn't.

2. Get. Rid. Of. The. Password. Strength. Meter. I saw a youtube video about this, but I forgot the URL, which sucks, but the jist of it was that the reason why people forget their passwords is because password strength meters encourage a so-called secure, i.e. impossible to remember password. It's good that you don't enforce having certain characters in a password like other annoying sites do, but it shouldn't exist at all. By the way, this topic was originally meant to be only the first suggestion, but I came here for the first time in months and had to change my password to my new one.
Just because a password is secure doesn't mean it's not memorable. I use the apg generator when I need a new password, they're pronouncable and generally easy to remember, but depending on the settings, secure.

The problem with starting out with Super Metroid is that because Samus moves so quickly you need to perform a large number of actions, which all depend upon eachother, in a short span of time. It's very difficult to break things up into segments that you can concentrate on optimizing individually.
moozooh, very impressive WIP. Keep it up.

The snail in the wallpaper on the VMWare session is accidentally hilarious. Because of all the disk thrashing Windows does (even when allocated 512 RAM) it slows my entire system down.
EDIT: Accidental because I have all my wallpapers on random rotation.

From what a pro told me getting a green boost while using a hover craft or plane is a bad idea, stick with the purple one, except when using the ground based zipper
This would be true except hes boosting alot in mid air, making his speed constant until he lands. once hes done so, he also does the snaking thing keeping a higher than usual speed.
That and the reason why the expert said that is because when you have a green boost in a hovercart or an airplane the game will straighten you out before it boosts you (which costs about 1/2 of a second), if you hit it perfectly in line with the boost though, it will immediately boost you. This is hard to do on a console, and trivial to do in a TAS. I haven't watched the movie so I don't know if the player did this.

Another casualty of this design is you can see artifacts in the first post in the Topic Review. Those artifacts are simply the background image shining through the cracks in the table.
