Ah, so the speed-runs are unedited regular plays? Ok, then I'm satisfied.

Deviance, yes, if direct perfection is the goal, then rerecording may be the answer. The reason I asked is I've always played the NES as a hobby and at some point also started timing my plays and then trying to beat the records I'd made. It's the idea of competing in movie-sampling instead of actual skill in game-play that seems a little weird to me. But I'm still new to this idea and, in any way, do not wish to belittle anyone. I consider some of these movies really entertaining, I just haven't bought the philosophy yet.

Hi everyone. I was wondering, how fast runs are you capable of without using re-recording or whatever it is with which these movies were made? On, say Mario 2, 3, Contra and such? Is there a site that publishes only "real" runs?

I don't know is it because of PAL/NTSC thing you wrote about but music is definately playing too fast in that movie. Also it's funny that this is European version but we had a bit (in Finland) different kind of European version :)

This is really cool stuff! Not only is the guy fast, he also uses bugs and glitches and rocket-jumps (!). Get the demo here: http://www.geocities.com/e6y/doom.html It's worth it. I swear. =) You'll need original Doom 2 v1.9 and a port that supports playing back old Doom demos - PRBoom is a sure bet. However, for those who don't have Doom 2 v1.9, I managed to make an avi of the demo with "ok" quality but I haven't got around to/figured out how to make a torrent out of it yet.

They have huge upload capability as we all know and i would love to use it when i'm on computer class to serve downloaders. however it always timeouts and i haven't got it to download or upload anything. I tried changin ports to bigger numbers like 65500 but no luck :(

Blaster Master is already being done by Lezard (with VirtuaNES for his own site).
I look forward to this. Excellent work guys. I'm downloading VirtuaNES now and hope to eventually try one.

First of all I just wanna say great work on smb2... closer to perfection with each try... One thing puzzles me though...How is it possible to doublejump with Luigi the way you do in version 6...some kind of bug or what? cheers!

yeah i kinda agree about tetris being boring, i tried to make one, as fast to max score as possible..i think you need to start at about level 17 or 18 (19 is just too damn hard) and get nothing but tetris's ..when you get to 120 lines, the level for some reason starts increasing (i'd assumed it would wait till i got to 180 lines, dunno why this is), and it gets tougher..so you cant do only tetris's .. i got to 800,000 that way, in less than 10 min i think...so max is probably just about 13-14 min or so...might still be boring, but might appeal to people who used to play tetris back in the day who wanted to see the score maxed asap

I managed to find 5.1 Final Beta: http://game.hdt.net.cn/monixz/fc/fam51fb.zip Is that equivalent to 5.11 that you mentioned? Yours, Rob

Actually, I just remembered, it's 5.1Beta4. The newest one before 6 I can find online is 5.1Beta5...and none of the link to it work that I can find. So is B5 the last version before 5.11? Yours, Rob

Hmmm, I am using 5.11 (or maybe it's 5.1b). I'll check and make sure, since I'm at work now. Also, I'll get the European rom just to be sure. I'll give it a shot! Thanks! Yours, Rob

Hi Folks, Im thoroughly enjoying these speedruns....very impressive stuff! I went to load the Solstice one on Famtasia 5.1 and it gave a mapper error...strange. So, I went to what I believe is the next version up, v6 Tester. However, v6 Tester doesn't have the movie file function for some reason. Was there ever a version after this? I search all over online and didn't see any later version or a working URL for the official website. It seems every fan site carries 6.0 Tester as a max. Was there ever a non-tester version of 6? Any ideas? Thanks! Yours, Rob Budrick

thanks for the replies. so assuming that famtasia shows only 30 fps that will explain each input counted as 2 frame hold...if it was 20 frames then 3 frame hold input. Thats a minus to make a near perfect time attack so I think ill stick with virtuaNES. but...Michael Fried and morimoto use Famtasia to record, how can you control your best accuracy if it doesnt allow you to input a 60 frames per second??? >DevianceI also got broken movie files with famtasia too when I was testing it out. recording over a recording precess screws up the file or something.

hey Bisqwit, have you thought about creating an IRC chat channel as another means of communication? real-time chat would be great
