I was doing a testrun of Roadblasters. I'm starting to work on Cobra Command, which is turning out to be a combination of frame-perfect optimization and periods where entertainment is the only goal.

The sheer amount of time required to make one of these runs is really discouraging me. I spent over half an hour working on one level of a game and ended up with approximately one minute of gameplay that wasn't anywhere close to optimized.

maybe he deliberately sabotaged those projects to make starcraft look better by comparison? ;)

We need a quantum computer that can test every possible controller input combination simultaneously. Bisqwit needs to get on the horn and get the ball rolling on this.

I really hope someone eventually does a 100% run, the one at SDA was so good you would swear it was tool-assisted, so it would be really damn cool to see how much room for improvement there would be.

hmmm... I have a Famtasia run of Fester's Quest that someone did, I don't recall how far it got or whether it finished the game, but unfortunately my Famtasia isn't working under Vista right now so I can't check it.

But it's true that the laser goes in the opposite diretion as expected (outside-in rather than inside-out) and the discs themselves have a special format. But shouldn't drivers be able to handle those differences?
You'd pretty much have to reprogram the firmware for the drive, and I don't know how many engineers are dying to take on that one. There's obviously a method for dumping games, anyway, as there are emulators & ROMs floating around.

huh... Flashback + PoP could actually be pretty cool, given the similarity of their gameplay... the only problem I see is the times. Out of this World (USA v1.0) in 15:25.57 Flashback (USA) in 23:54.57 Prince Of Persia (JPN) in 34:01.65 those times are on different systems, though... that might make a big difference.

GCN disks spin in the opposite direction of any other kind of disk. edit: just for the hell of it, I tried putting a GC disk into my DVD-ROM. It started making noises I've never heard before.

would it be totally necessary to take every warp? maybe we could find some combination of warps that makes the games end around the same time.

you are correct sir! I wonder if more than 1 Double Dragon game at a time would work.

I figured if anyone could have done it, it was him, seeing as how he actually played it as far as it would go.

If I ever get off my ass and work on it, my avatar will be from the game I'm trying to TAS, Cobra Command.

Who needs a TAS to get a perfect score? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell_(gamer) I have seen the actual machine referenced here.

Yeah, I could see that being a problem... I remember playing this on the NES when I was a kid, and having to pause the game and leave it on overnight so I could come back and finish it the next day.

Jungle/Desert Strike could make for an interesting speedrun, not sure if the SNES versions are better...

SRAM is the information that normally would have been saved on the cartridge, I believe.

I'm pretty sure that the only region lockout Nintendo used was that the PAL carts physically don't fit in an NTSC console.
