Hey, if anyone is starting in the future or working on this project for the wind waker, I'd love to help out and maybe help, work on a team and several glitches and stuff. :)
oh you guys have special emulators XD im stupid. no wonder i cant find stuff.
thanks for the help guys, i know sometimes helping noobs learn stuff is irritating, but you guys seem to be very friendly :D
Oh.. I dont know many of the features of emulators right now, or how to work them xD i just play normally. How do i slow the fps? mines normally at a solid 30-60.
I take it Minish didn't find the FAQs for this site and got the idea that TASers type in the raw input file from start to finish before watching the emulator run it.
How much experience do you have with emulators, Minish? If you have ever used a "save state" feature, and if you have ever made a movie of yourself playing with the emulator's own movie feature, then it's just those two things combined: A gameplay movie with unlimited do-overs. And with slow speed settings, you have as much time as you need to react to everything, so you can perform complicated maneuvers flawlessly.
Uhhh not that much experience with them really. So far i just play for like 10 minutes trying stuff out. Havent really saved anything, so i'll look into that. I was looking for the emulators movie feature, and i saw it somewhere, but then lost it again and cant find it.
Anyway, i got the idea in simple terms that people told a computer to go left, then right, then push A. Then the computer did it and TASer watched and see if it worked, if not he told it to wait a second and then push A or something.
Hmm. I think i understand. By program i think you mean the emulator. The person plays the game at one frame per second, and at any frame he can press a button?
Or are you saying theres something that records them pressing the buttons, and then reanacts it?
hope i spelled reanact right :P
reinact
reanact :/
I am new here because over the last few months I've been watching some amazing work here, so I thought why not forum it up.
I was curious about my own theories about how you all do these videos. The first one I watched was the Majora's Mask 2 hour run, which was amazing, kudos to everyone who helped that run be possible. OOT was amazing too.
Anyway, onto my point. I personally guessed, that during these runs, you had a computer playing for you, while you just put the input in beforehand into a program. I've tried many moves I have seen in the videos and I fail to do them, so I estimated that the people who make them have a program listing commands for the computer to do in the emulator.
So basically that is my question, Are people really playing when they do these? Did someone actually press buttons on their keyboard or is it a program executing lines of code?
I know people use emulators and recording things, I was curious about the moving and such. By Tool Assisted Speedrun, I assumed it was a.. program that you entered input and then it played it out. If this is true, What program is it?
