Please try reproducing all of these in the latest standalone nightly. 0.5 is coming out soon and as much testing with a nightly as possible is great.
I can't easily reproduce it, but it appears on this movie file: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/33467226742199528 It happened during the battle. Here's a savestate for BizHawk 1.11.7 before the battle https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-2O13fpsnI4UVNkZURlenlrazQ Youtube: Link to video The bug is at 13 seconds in; The audio is supposed to sound like this. Sorry about that. It also appears every now and then, but often went I'm not recording a movie.

On BizHawk 1.11.7, every now and then transitioning to a different background music for "Keitai Denjuu Telefang 2 - Speed (Japan).gba" causes the audio to glitch up and some of the instruments to not play. I'm not sure if it's part of the game or not, but a search gave me this: http://s15.zetaboards.com/Tulunk_Village/topic/515554/1
Telefang 2 sounds different in every emulator... ...that I use. It's rather annoying, without having the game, it's hard to tell which emulator is most accurate, and I'm picky about that type of thing. I tried VisualBoyAdvance, plus a version with different sound (this one is really meant for GB/GBC), as well as VisualBoyAdvance-M, a beta version with some bug fixes but also has some new bugs, NO$GBA, and Boycott Advance. With the exception of the first two emulators, Telefang 2's music sounded completely glitched, and sounded different on each one as well. But even if you compare the former two, they sound different. So which one is most accurate? I'm guessing it's the very first one, since it's the best sounding. The second one sounds too much like a Game Boy Color. Can anybody who has a copy of Telefang 2 tell which emulator is the most accurate? It would help me a lot and I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Which seems to imply it's likely an emulation error.

It becomes a lot more difficult however, since the last 5 bosses all have over 100 HP. I might have to check if it's worth recruit the level 28 due to this.

Edit: So...apparently the ID addresses are correct, but it uses a different number than the one shown on the phone. Bleh. Edit2: Added map names; works for all 171 maps. Also supports power version now. Edit3: Added Denjuu + Attack names, and allowed multiple ways to display data Edit4: Added Overworld object/npc display + check if in battle using music

That was a nice run. Also to anyone who wonders how does the lag affect the game, it's mentioned on this post: Post #439412

Here is a comparison between the current TAS and if the bug was used. All time stamps are from VBA v19-23, so there might be 1 or 2 frames difference to bizhawk. (VBA input is delayed) Timing is from first frame of a room where input is accepted, until first frame of the next room where input is accepted. That way, score calculation is taken into consideration.

LCD lag is not considered since this testing was done on old VBA. I tested on newer VBA and the LCD lag is 35 frames there. In other words, the transition lag that took 1 frame on old VBA takes 35 frames on new VBA. Doing the bug causes LCD lag to happen one additional time, so 34 frames have to be added to the TimeSaved potential. When the bug doesn't save at least 35 frames, there is no use doing it.

Room      Time(OldTAS)         Time(withBug)		TimeSaved

03        631  (1688-2319)	  594  (1688-2282)	1

00:07.70 sec saved (when switching from VBA19~23 to Bizhawk → added LCD lag) Finally, we take into consideration the life management: 
Room           Lives

Start of game  Have 5 lives
03 (Bug)       Have 4 lives       
04 (Bug)       Have 3 lives
06 (+1up)      Have 4 lives
07 (Bug)       Have 3 lives      
08 (Bug)       Have 2 lives
09 (Bug)       Have 1 life
12 (+1up)      Have 2 lives
13 (Bug)       Have 1 life
21 (+1up)      Have 2 lives
24 (+1up)      Have 3 lives
25 (Bug)       Have 2 lives
33 (Bug)	    Have 1 life
So it should be all good. No continues are needed. One continue would have taken 33 frames in old VBA, and probably 107 or so on Bizhawk. A new TAS should be 04:33.37 or better. EDIT: Actually, I forgot that LCD lag is added in places that aren't improved, too. So the new time will probably be much higher than the current time...

How should I format memory addresses for GBA games for the site's list? For things like NES, GBC, etc,. there's the ability to change the domain to IWRAM, ROM, etc. However, for the GBA (and maybe other consoles, not sure), for some reason, it does not allow such feature. Should I add addresses as (for example) 3002870, or 2870 and assume I would remember the domain later when I come back to it?

So I finally made a playthrough using cheats so that even if I lose I would still "win" in order to see how long the game would at least be without battles. It took over 1 hour and 30 minutes. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/33467226742199528 Used BizHawk 1.11.7 I predict with battles, it would probably add an hour. Edit: Bot script for 1.11.7 
memory.usememorydomain("IWRAM")

local frame_start = emu.framecount()

function waitframe(frame)
	while (frame >= 0) do
		emu.frameadvance()
		frame = frame-1
	end
end

3. Press "A"
4. Advance 100 frames
5. Check to see if attack hit/missed. If missed, skip to step 7. If hit proceed to next step
6. Check if it had critical hit. If so stop. If not, continue. Don't check if move is ID 0xC2
7. Load the state
8. Advance 1 frame
9. Repeat from step 2
]]--
while true do
	local frame_now = emu.framecount()
	local frame_dif = 0	--difference between this frame and start frame
	if (frame_dif ~= (frame_now - frame_start)) then
		savestate.saveslot(1)
	end
	joypad.set({A = 1})
	emu.frameadvance()
	waitframe(100)
	console.log("Reached 1")
	if memory.readbyte(0x2C14) == 61 then
		break 
	else
		frame_dif = frame_dif + 1
		savestate.loadslot(1)
		console.log("Dif"..(frame_now - frame_start))
		console.log("Frame now: "..frame_now)
		--console.log("Reached 2")
	end
	emu.frameadvance()
end
Will expand on it.

Sorry to bump, but in terms of BizHawk, what would be better? Having a script with tons of features all packed into one, or make them into separate lua files and run them simultaneously? Talking in terms of performance and manage-ability.

1. Start the game 2711 - Drake & Josh (U)(Rising Sun).gba 2. Open Ram Watch 3. Set to search "Not equal to" and "previous value" 4. Search once. Note the addresses and change count 5. Advance a frame or so; the addresses would have the same value yet the change count keeps rising. This happens on both 1.11.7 and 1.11.6, along with both GBA cores.

Does Game & Watch Gallery games for the gameboy count? Also I recall some such as a sonic one from a McDonalds kid's toy, but don't know their names.

So apparently there's actually a "Maximum kills" movie category. Can someone please add that to this movie?

We actually do have such a thing: http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C2005Y.html It's not the most popular category though, and also quite obscure, given how the Oddysee run wasn't even tagged such along with this thread.

1. Congrats on finally getting this accepted! 2. I haven't checked the 10 frames 1.11.7 version, but how spliceable was it?

Try and find out what does the difficulty actually do first; it's completely possible to have more differences than timer/hp.

There's a started port of ppsspp in bizhawk, dunno what would be the percentage of completion, but isn't it easier to base on something already started?
That port is quite old, and I feel it's better to implement tools within the emulator itself, like Dolphin.
But no TAStudio support then, unless it already exists there and I was unaware.

I found this old post: Post #394464 I'm not sure how applicable it is to DS games in general, but it seems common enough to place here for future reference.
With the help of Invariel, we managed to get 2 formulas: NPCs and your movement make the rng go like this rand = (rand * 1103515245 + 12345) % 4294967296; and simply reloading a stage does this: rand = (rand * 2603963141 + 1051550459) % 4294967296; This was found by using the trick mentioned from the post, then plugging in x,y, and a "z" that I assumed to be 2^32 onto a script and display the next 10 results. It ended up matching. where rand is at 0x2133DF4. This was found by first finding the addresses associated with the random event, in this case the safe password. Then assumed the value keeps changing, and searched for "not equal to previous value" for each time the password changed until the search result was narrowed to < 100 results. Then froze each one and manually checked if it had any effect on the password. The steps for the formula (stage reload): 1. Set 2133DF4 to 0 2. Reload the stage (advances rng once) 3. Record the value. It was 3EAD62FB (1051550459 in decimal) 4. Set 2133DF4 to 1 5. Reload the stage 6. Record the value. It was D9E2B600 (-639453696 in decimal signed) (3655513600 in decimal unsigned) 7. The formula for LRC is rand = ((rand * x) + y)%z step 3 gave y. subtract step 6 unsigned value with step 3s to get x. This gave x = 2603963141 8. z is usually the number of bits or some power of 2. Make a script in any programming language you want. Plug in the values for x, y, z and loop it a number of times. If it matches the game it's correct. Sample: 
file = io.open("test.txt", "a")
	io.output(file)
	x = 2603963141
	y = 1051550459
	z = 4294967296
	rng = 0
	for i = 0,10 do
		newrng = ((rng * x)+y)%z
		io.write(string.format('%.8x',newrng)..","..newrng.."\n")
		rng = newrng
	end
	io.close(file)
With that said, now the question is: given the RNG and the values that the RNG assigns, how does one find the formula for that? Here's a list of 10,000 values of the RNG and the password it gives https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-2O13fpsnI4bGdJZWo1MWdDZWs The left column is the RNG value and the right column is the password. How do they relate? Thanks for all the help so far btw! :)

Anyone know if its possible to write a LUA script that draws triangles frame by frame?
Yes. The basic approach would either be make 1 triangle then copy-paste the input multiple times, or make a loop in lua and specify 3 static points to make. Lua api is here: Post #425736 A quick example would be something like 
while(true) do
		stylus.set({x=127,y=95,touch=true})
		emu.frameadvance()
		stylus.set({x=127,y=0,touch=true})
		emu.frameadvance()
		stylus.set({x=0,y=95,touch=true})
		emu.frameadvance()
	end
A better method would be keeping track of the pokemon's positions and offsetting x/y based on that.

Rather than seeing the run 300 times, it's probably better to utilize RAM Watch + frame advance + savestates and concentrate on the parts you're stuck on. I mean using tools on HappyLee's movie, not just your own. http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/SuperMarioBros.html There's an entire page of tricks here, along with memory addresses at the very end.

2. Transfer memory addresses that you are interested in from RAM Search to RAM Watch. Search will continue to update itself when you reload a state, but I don't know why it clears itself when you load another file (assuming you mean input file and not ROM).
I just found out about this: This apparently allows just what you said. And it only took like 4 years for me to find out. Better late than never. :)

Legit question: Anyone ever seem to notice RAM usage for Chrome gradually go up despite overall low amount of tabs? Seems to go away if I completely close Chrome and reopen the same tabs, but what's causing the leak?

This has nothing to do with the TAS, but what's the best tool assisted way to grind points for the main game?

Can you please at least explain glitches used, since for those who are unfamiliar with speedrun tricks for this game will be completely lost.
