That's awesome! Do you not TAS? I see you have no submissions yet have been here since I was in first grade. Cool to see you so dedicated to the community nonetheless.

Club Drive (Jaguar) crashes as well at the start of the first race. Froze the emulator so wasn't able to preserve the BK2. :-(

In addition to a number of other factors which determine the Distance of a jump or throw, there exists another unseen factor. It is a particular series of Frames during which beginning a jump or throw will result in a greater Distance than otherwise possible--a "sweet spot". The Sweet Spot is only active during 2nd Try and 3rd Try. Note that if the Distance of 2nd Try was greater than the normal maximum Distance, the Sweet Spot will not be active for 3rd Try. During 1st Try, the Sweet Spot is a "Sour Spot", which actually decreases the Distance of a jump or throw! Additionally, Player Speed must meet a minimum requirement in order to enable the Sweet Spot. The minimum Speed requirement for a Try is determined by the result of any previous Tries. The Sweet Spot operates on a cycle of 256 Frames, after which the cycle repeats. During Long Jump and Hammer Throw, the Sweet Spot cycle is divided into 85 subcycles of 3 Frames each, with Frame 1 being excluded from the subcycle routine. The cycle begins on the Frame on which input unlocks for a Try. These 3-Frame subcycles are used in order to coordinate with the 3-Frame RNG cycle, thus allowing any given subcycle the chance for 3 different results via the 3 possible RNG results. The duration of the Sweet Spot window ranges from just 1 subcycle up to 85 subcycles (i.e. 255 Frames, the entirety of the Sweet Spot cycle). The duration of the Sweet Spot window is determined by Player's Speed when a jump or throw begins, the result of any previous Tries, the Frame on which a jump or throw begins, and the RNG. Note that any Speed bonus (e.g. jump timing in Long Jump) is applied prior to the check for Player's Speed. Each 10 cm/sec that the Player's Speed exceeds the current Try's minimum Speed requirement extends the duration of the Sweet Spot by 1 subcycle. Any Sweet Spot subcycles which have been allotted are applied reverse sequentially, starting with the last subcycle in a cycle (i.e. subcycle 85, or Frame 253 of the Sweet Spot cycle). Thus, provided even a minimal Sweet Spot window has been allotted, the ideal result for a jump or throw can be achieved by coordinating the jump or throw to begin on the same Frame that the last subcycle in a cycle begins. The Sweet Spot is of particular significance to Long Jump and Hammer Throw, owing to the limited possibilities for RNG manipulation in those Events relative to other Events (e.g. Javelin Throw). In order for a jump or throw to achieve maximum Distance, the jump or throw must begin during the Sweet Spot window. In this TAS, where applicable, the Sweet Spot is exploited to provide maximum Distance.
RNG Manipulation:
The RNG determines various aspects of the game, but most significantly, it determines the Distance of a jump or throw to some degree. The initial RNG for a jump or throw is determined by the Frame on which the Event or Try began and the Frame on which the Jump/Throw button is first pressed to adjust the Angle. Note that in the case of Javelin Throw and High Jump, RNG can be further manipulated during the jump or throw, after the initial RNG has been set. Thus, the RNG can be manipulated by beginning input on a different Frame during a Try, or by entering different input for the Try (such that Jump/Throw is pressed on a different Frame). During Long Jump and Hammer Throw, the RNG operates on a cycle of 3 Frames. Of the 3 Frames in a cycle, 1 Frame of the cycle is the positive Frame, 1 Frame of the cycle is the neutral Frame, and 1 Frame of the cycle is the negative Frame. Note that under certain conditions, a negative Frame, a neutral Frame, and a positive Frame can all produce the same result. In order for a jump or throw to achieve maximum Distance, the RNG must be set on a positive Frame. Throughout this TAS, the RNG is manipulated to provide maximum Distance, or to provide a specific Distance.

Would love to see this implemented, but in the meantime does anybody know how to do it?
I believe it's a .maf extension (I would have to check; edit: it's .mar)
Also not sure how unlikely it is to desync, hopefully should be pretty close I'd imagine.

Was just thinking today, man it'd be great do to some arcade TASes on BizHawk 2.9 but it's not released yet.
I own roughly 130 arcade games so it's my forte. Glad to see it released.

it's a bit misleading as I feel like people would assume anything that gets the 10 gold medals would qualify for "maximum score"
From this description?
OtakuTAS for this run decides to get the maximum score possible in each event. For sports like the long jump or the javelin, it means the greatest distance. For ones like archery, it means getting perfect shots 100% of the time.
I did like that, I just mean if people don't read it.

Proper rerecord count is 12,705. I was having issues saving/exporting the file so I ported it to a new one.

Pub looks good. I've been thinking over the category change and I think it's a bit misleading as I feel like people would assume anything that gets the 10 gold medals would qualify for "maximum score". Either way, just throwing it out.

I was going to recommending adding speeds above 400% but I guess unchecking the throttle creates the same result.

Is there enough of a difference between other versions to warrant "(USA)" in the title? Genuinely curious.

Fixed the desync.
The file I downloaded from the site (last touched by Spikestuff I believe) to fix had new, longer inputs to skip to the credits rather than the normal progression.
Editing this to update with a file that is trimmed properly so it shows correctly on the submission & publication. Encoder can re-add the credits cosmetic skipping that Spikestuff did if he or she wishes.
When feos updated to this file it also pushed the timer to an incorrect amount as such, looks like I'm at 09:59.10 (35900 frames).
Not sure if the blank frame BizHawk adds counts or not. That is with it. Otherwise it's 35,899.
Thanks both!

That movie ends up slow prior to High Jump due to a desync, give me a sec...

Fixed and resynced
[link removed]
That wasn't described in the manual nor any guides I read - probably too quick to notice RTA. What a strange mechanic as it only amounts of about a quarter of a second of holding extra. Anyways, fixed and resynced.

Pressing it later gives 9.58 and disqualification.
Yeah, I made sure it was the last frame before going over the line. Just didn't expecting the holding mechanic.

looks good, but is the minigame choice routed for ending input as soon as possible? ;P
Yes, each minigame picked is the fastest choice next in line to the previous
(Or do you mean the category? That has nothing to do with it and is much different than a story mode run)

Did some research on this shitty bootleg.
Turns out you are using a level select cheat code to activate the level select which allows you to reach the final level.
In a lucky turn of events for TASing, a newer version of the game was released on a 45-in-1 multicart that features various completions and improvements, which has the level select permanently enabled.
Not sure if that would be permissible or not, but this probably isn't.
The ROM name that contains the new version (not a mod, it's from the manufacturer just a different release version): 45-in-1 (JY-120A) (Unl) [b1].nes
There are a few fixed versions too but that is not what I am referring to.

Looks like you had some good info on TASing the game in your submission text before. You should restore it so it can help the next person who decides to TAS this.

Difficulty is included in title as the difficulty alters the core gameplay of the minigames. (i.e. smaller grids on grid based games)
