Author kinda overshot the input a bit, found their encode and placed it on the submission text. Light Spike to remove the 10 thousand blank frames. Don't worry about resubmitting, the Judge can replace the file around. --- Unfortunately the biggest issue to this TAS besides the admission that this is more of a theory TAS, which I'll congratulate you on... is the BIOS that was used. Unfortunately (SHA-1) 3AF7B66248D34EB26DA40C92BF2FA4C73A46A051 is a built in BIOS for Alex Kidd in Miracle World and not the actual SMS bios (also a Korean BIOS). BizHawk would specifically like the (SHA-1) C315672807D8DDB8D91443729405C766DD95CAE7 BIOS, v1.3 (SMS, US/EU). The other two bioses that EU/US would like are both Prototype bioses, and doesn't change which main bios you need to have. I look forward to an updated run that takes a little more time in manipulation and work.
Sorry, I'm new to this. What is the light spike to remove blank frames? What do you mean by overshot the input? I wrote too much on the submission? As for the BIOS, sorry about that. I thought I did build it against an EU bios but must have made some configuration mistake. I find this part of bizhawk to be confusing. I understand if this is too much of an RTA-viability theory TAS. I wasn't sure if those are acceptable publications for tasvideos. Unfortunately, until I learn some new way to use tasstudio I'm unlikely to work on this more. There is some weirdness in the game where moving a menu input, which is most of the inputs in this hour+ tas, changes the minimum delay between inputs. So shifting a menu forward or backward by just a few frames can cause multiple button presses to not be recognized. This cascades to every menu that happens after it in the tas. Finding a new minimum delays between these is very time consuming. This definitely feels like the sort of thing that could hypothetically be automated a bit with scripting specific to this game, but I can't figure out how to do that in tasstudio. Thank you for taking the time to review it. If you have any other feedback please let me know.
