Thank you for making me fall over laughing. Honestly, that's the best screenshot ever.

Oftentimes I will use "half the size" for arbitrary amounts very roughly equal to 1/2 (e.g. 3/4). I have a tendancy to exaggerate. Besides, I was interested in an actual measurement, not just an imprecise one. (Mostly because it's interesting to see how low it goes from various optimizations) Although now I'm curious, what was it you did to chop down the filesize?

Why was "gruefood" changed to "failed"?
That was my fault, sorry. (I used "Failed" instead of "Gruefood" in a copypaste into IRC. Shrug.)

I always vote on my own submissions (All two of them! Yay!*) just to stop having to hit "View results" on every page. Besides, I only use the vote count to get the basics. The posts are more important (hence, I read them). I'm sure others do the same. Usually one vote in any direction won't matter a whole lot, especially when you weigh in the posts. Yes, I'm aware I have 4 submissions. But only two are anything near recent.

But I can see runs in the workbench getting plenty of yes votes. But they aren't being published. I guess I am not up on the rules like how many votes are needed. But I saw some films I want to see.
It's more of an arbitrary "I feel like accepting this" / "publishing this" than a "This movie has x votes, time to publish/accept it" Honestly, the publication method here's a little wacky, but... (Also, you're wrong. The last movie was published Apr 01, 6 days ago as of right now. Although perhaps you're a time-traveller?) Disregard, I'm an idiot

I think it was that the SGB itself had the palette, not Metroid 2. Hell, Metroid 2 was released before the SGB, wasn't it?

I just made my own (albeit similar) version of it. BG 096 072 216 016 024 192 000 000 104 000 000 000 Sprite 240 192 048 216 032 032 096 032 032 Worked for me. Less of a huge brightness drop than the other one.

The solution is to obviously give him the Pirate title in place of ninja. ... But yes, JXQ is quite, uh... different. Although his runs are usually quite entertaining because of it..

... It only changes the name of the external ZIPs? Damn. And my recommendation: GoodSetROMName - (M###/S###) GameType in 00.00.00.00 by Username.* e.g., Mega Man (U) [!] - (M123) in 13.59.99 by Bisqwit.fcm (S if it isn' tpublished yet?) Gametype would be "100pct", for example. I use "." for the time sperator because :, ', and " won't work.

I'm just curious as to what the original size was, since I missed it...

No. His are all of the movie files (*.gmv, vbm, fcm, etc), nothing else, as far as I can tell. Oh, and they actually follow a rational naming format instead of "name-bob-meggerman5-v3bilion.fcm" or "v4-ohno-test-rockmega7.smv", making it ten billion times less annoying. I say go for it. Please. I can't stand the Nesvideos movie naming format, mostly because it's completely arbitrary and meaningless. (But perhaps: "GoodSet ROM name - M### (or S####) - 00:00:00:00 by NICKNAME" might work better, as that way individual movies/submissions can be easily gone to.)

You could try loading SPO and checking if tohse times are even valid; if the clock skips over that particular digit, either (a) the timer is random (unlikely) or (b) it's fake! It could work..

I still have this game, and never managed to beat it. But you did. Just one question; why did you always fire when jumping? ... But past that, very good movie and entertaining (minus the horribly repitive "Cast" music...), voting yes.

More hopeless flying through levels! I swear at a part in Ice Cap, the rapidly-flying-past-the-screen level was rather broken and glitchy. I fast-forwarded through everything else but the improvements... but congratulations on your improvements :)

Ristar is still one of the most beautiful, but insane, games I've ever seen. It's really fun to watch, especially since it has water levels that aren't slow or boring! Voting no since it killed my lappy's battery, though.

It'd be easier to just run another emulator in the background, like dual running, but set that movie to read only (so that it still responds to load-states). You'd have to spend a bit of time configuring them first, so that your states were on the right frames; but after that... Making an emulator run 2 games at once for this seems silly :P

Dirving onto a tangent here, I'm actually somewhat curious that there's no "Show top rated movies" on the homepage in addition to the "Show recommended movies". In order to view them, you have to remove the "RecY" (or whatever) from the URL, and even then it shows every single movie.

I did not say it didn't; but the 96-star run is higher. Although there are other things that should be taken into account... *145339> <Xkeeper> There are other factors to take into account, such as oldbie "jading" ("I've already seen this trick executed before many times; I am bored of it now in long runs") versus newbie amazement ("Wow, how did he do that/how can he go so fast") *145352> <Xkeeper> obviously, one of these will be a lot less likely to watch a longer movie The 96-star runs has more time to demonstrate all of the various tricks usable, much like the 120-star SM64 run. But, I did demonstrate another method:
Movie text However, if you prefer shorter runs, there is a 11-exit version available.
This would work fine as ar as I can tell. It'd give both runs the benefit of being "recommended", since it's directly linked into the starting text.

9.4 vs. 9.1, just wow. The difference is… staggering… :—O
When you cnosider they have 40-50 votes each, the difference is quite high. Although the difference between the Super Mario 64 runs exibits the same properties (8.5 (16) v. 9.1 (120)). But, in the end, I am not one who places stars on movies. i.e., shutting up now.

Would you give it the 11-exit's SMW star? That run is better optimized that the 96 exit run, so I wouldn't do this.
* Xkeeper ascends onto his soap box Although lately -- and in my opinion, unfortunately -- this site's focus has shifted to pure speed over making an entertaining movie, please remember, that to a newbie, being five frames slower makes little difference. See also: SM64 120 vs. 16 exit. The 120 run showcases much more interesting tricks and routes than the faster 16 star run, while providing much more entertainment as well from the wait times. Please keep in mind that, while optimization is important, newbies aren't going to look at it and say "Oh, he missed a frame here." Optimization does not equate to entertainment, and as the numbers indicate, the 96-exit run is far superior.
