My friend has the real thing, a turbografx 16 and the original CD. Its very rare and i played it :) Its possible to play it on emulators but the musics are wrongly placed.

it says 31-3 here even on his "edit" quote thing which i dont understand how he did if it is an image then you guys should be seeing the same. there should be an international time to be used world-wide and on the internet

nitsuja, i proposed something similar on the Pinball thread. here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1490 your idea is doable too, i can see how to do it. open 2 emulators at same time each with each rom, and play both using frame advance, taking care that each move will be usefull on both movies or at least not result in death / stuck.

do final fantasy tacitcs on the gba instead, because re-recording on psx is very unlikely. Try searching the forum, it has been discussed before

I'm using Cocoron (J).nes and it opens normally on blip's fceu Wow i had no idea this game existed, i'm impressed by the graphics, very good About the run, i had no idea of much that was going on either, but i dont think 2 3 minutes improvement is possible. I saw some errors on jumping, sometimes you could have landed earlier to be able to jump without stopping so much, and sometimes you could have killed enemies and try to avoid some slowdown. But what bugs me is why do you always choose the same character, in some boss battles you clearly have the choice to pick other characters, you dont need the fastest one, why is that? I vote yes because it looks good, and for such a low re-record count, gj

genisto, i dont know what is causing it...i know that if you hold the good firection, you have to wait 1 second i think and then it will never stop for any frames, no matter how long is the path, but you have to hold for 1 second on the start... so... that would save time only in a 60 curves path. i didnt even know it was possible to not stop on some points, and you are saying you could do it once. i dont know :P

Arcade games will get a forum as soon as an acceptable re-recording emulator is available. So far final burn alpha lacks some important features.

Aawesome. I'm still struggling with my new pc, so... if you can do the rest it would be great because you are one hell of a better timeattacker than i am. But if you are getting those desyncing and stability problems i can do the rest no problem, just tell me what you think is better.

i disagree with that, that text is part of the ending, you are skipping an ending sequence

you could do it after killing the dark queen, but you want to end recording as soon as possible. i think this goes into the same cathegory as super mario 1. i think its ok to kill dark queen and continue recording a bit to kill the toad. the measuring to compare movies is the exact frame you last hit dark queen, which you can inform on the submission text.

genisto's level 1 worked fine on the U version after removing 55 frames, but level 2 desyncs at the very beggining

An unlicensed alteration of a game or an unlicensed new game. That is non-official and is usually made by people without the legal rights for those games.

The cannon ball fire at exact same rate at both "U PRG0" and "J" versions, that is every 135 frames. didnt test the bob-ombs but they must be the same too. and the US version of mario 3 saves 55 frames for each transition. counting levels 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, fortress, tank, ship, pipe, flying ship, pipe, 8-1, 8-2, fortress, pipe, tank, castle that will give a 16 x 55 = 880 frames of difference because of transitions, which seems to be the only difference. add 880 to the final frame count to know the total improvement. (880 frames ~= 14,666 seconds)

"password" is how you select levels on the pirate game of smb1 and smb2j. press A to increase world from 1 to 8 and B to increase area 1 to 4. it shows on the top part of screen. its a pirate game using a cheat code

on the J version there are 2 levels of power: power 1 = small mario power 2 = big, fire, leaf, lakitu, etc, marios on the US version there are 3 levels of power: power 1 = small mario power 2 = big mario power 3 = fire, leaf, lakitu, etc, marios taking damage goes down 1 power level. so, on the US version its possible to take damage and be transformed into big mario, allowing for another damage without getting killed. it also allows for you to find another power 3 type item, while on the J version you would have to find a mushroom first also, rumor says that the cannon balls fire at slower rate on the US version, i will test it

What exactly is harder about the US version?
And Genisto, i work on a games developing company, but that doesnt help any as i'm not a programmer, i make the graphics :) I am currently starting a project of a game where i will have to decide everything including the way the game works, so i will try and pay more attention as to how things are done in these games where making it simple was the key to performance. Oasiz: you cant play a movie recorded on a J or U version on an E version because they work at diferent speeds

Actually, the US version is easier, michael fried. I think we have been using the J version to compete in equal terms with morimoto, but i agree that the US version is better for the time attack. I will use it instead :S and try to match genisto's work lol..
