Yeah, putting up new versions if the project is dead (seems like you're the one giving it cpr) isn't a bad idea. Maybe ask if you can take over the SF project page, if the original coders are done with it anyways... (then again, you probably already tried such).
It's really funny how I have to get used to the new environment. I find myself too much micromanaging (btw, if you're up for suggestions, enable the frameskip key to be held ;)) since I can actually manipulate every frame, 60fps. With famtasia it's possible by file (which is obviously not feasible). The to avi movie including a bunch of compressed types is great. Makes it very easy to compare video's, see how fast and where you go off. But enough about fceu.
I've tried but am not able to match or improve baxter's wip for 1.1. I'm off by about 120 frames (obviously, without taking the random skills at start. I never realized it would slow you down so much). I'm not giving up just yet. The bar has been raised considerably though :)
Is there anything else I might want to know. Like is the hammer in fact more effective then the sword, or perhaps umbrella? Tricks like getting rid of your skill while in a high fall will cause you not to bump uncontrollably but to land 'flat' as if it were a low jump... Or like the stuff I posted in this thread before.

No. Followed a link at the faq section on this site, ended up downloading http://www.filespace.org/Phil._Cote/fceu.zip
I'll give yours a shot :)
My version 0.98.13, yours is the same. Date does differ though (nov 19, dec 4)...
Strange but it works. Thanks :)

That's what's so strange... the checksum for Kirby's Adventure (U) (PRG0) [!].nes matches with the one listed in the wip (so FCEU say they match). Still, it desyncs at the miniboss fight in 1.2 (actually, kirby jumps into the first of three enemies that fly up before that miniboss).

I see the emulator page 'recommends' fceu now, does that mean bisqwit allows and turns speedruns with this emu into vids as well? If I can use fceu with all the features famtasia is missing I'm certain I can be faster as well :p
Wow, you've been gone a while.
Kinda. Well over a year.

Btw, I accidentally discovered an easter egg today. In 1.2, at the warp star, if you move the star into the screen, then move a little back so the star is just outside of screen, and move right towards the star again, the star will vanish and you can move further to the right. The name "HAL" will be shown written in blocks. Useless but funny. (Ok, maybe old news, but I can't remember ever reading about this one).
Yeah, that's pretty well-known now.
Figures :)

I don't know, but you also have a choice of whether to skip the intro faster with the reset button since FCEU lets you record it. I think reset tricks are cool, but other people might think they're just cheap.
Well, for comparison I would take the first complete white screen or something, so that trick doesn't bother me much. But I don't want to cause the multi-rom issues, as I found 12 roms (including 3 U roms)myself and can still not play Baxters ...wip. Hence I asked which rom was most commonly used

I've seen nitsuja's run now, your run (Baxter) desyncs on any rom I've tried (12, to be precise).

No actually, I appreciate this. Like I said, I didn't have much to fight. I'm gonna have to look for a set of new kirby roms though. The two roms I have desync both you and nitsuja's run (now called wips?).
I see the emulator page 'recommends' fceu now, does that mean bisqwit allows and turns speedruns with this emu into vids as well? If I can use fceu with all the features famtasia is missing I'm certain I can be faster as well :p
On that note, why isn't either of your runs being posted on the website? It still has the first of Bisqwits..
I must admit your headon approach for 1.1 took me by surprise, your video desyncs at the miniboss fight in 1.2 so I can't really tell how it changes further up in the game.

So yeah, thanks for crushing my attempt, I'll be back ;)

What, thinking of studying it so you can work on a new run? :)
Gosh, I don't know if qFox would still be around.
I'm back! now. That ISP is indeed history. My current website (and for as long I'll live ;)) is qfox.nl (english) or kuvos.nl (dutch), whichever language you prefer. But I wasn't replying for spam.
I'm going to continue my Kirby run. I'm at 3.5 now and um, well nothing new to report I suppose.
Whats this whirl being faster then wheel all about? Doesn't the tornado have a timeout and doesn't that make it simply not even close to attractive?
Anyways, my current run can be found here. If anyone could please check whether this run doesn't desync for everybody else, that would be much appreciated :p
There are a few points I don't like (at some point I take a powerup that could be avoided, etc) but overall I think it's pretty good. Have hardly anything to compare it by though (well, it smashes Bisqwits vid on any level but he already knew that would happen).
Note that I've tried to use some other skills (like the sword to kill the bug semi boss in 3.2, it is nice) but overall its still wheel-fireball-hijump.
Also I seem to be stuck in a 30fps famtasia version again, which forces me to manually edit the level ending to reach the lowest part (right now, in game, i can only get to 5! simply unacceptable).
Also, I left myself with hijump on 3.5 finish, which is useless in 3.6 so I'm thinking of taking the laser, for fun and for usefullness (kinda).

oh yeah, now i rememeber
there was a big fuzz about it a while ago, although i havent really heard about it anymore recently.
so why would you want gmail? i mean really, what do you need 1 gig of space for?
yahoo indeed increased their box to 100 meg and 10mb attach (so thats why they did it, heh). but i use yahoo for my spam stuff (register here, register there, 700 spams weekly).
or is it just to be cool? :)

blip, are you a dev on vnes or are you hacking it? i believe the latter but not sure. i also thought vnes was actively developed, but could be wrong there as well...

3 hours of contra uncut. whats worse, having to do it in one run, or having to watch the whole vid over and over again because you lost a savegamepoint somewhere :p

granted i dont use many wiki's that have a login thing, but i've never seen it on the wiki's i've seen.
but thats ok, if it is a "default" thing, then whats the argument, just take it for granted. questionmark means link to unedited page

actually, its not really a wiki thing, but specific to this wiki, or the way bisqwit set it up. normally the usernames are simply linked and will end up in the edit-me-page (the one the question mark leads to now).
the questionmark simply indicates that the user has not set up his page yet... the questionmark allows easy editing, while giving the indication that the userpage does not yet exist.

very nice job!
one minor glitch though, when going to "my" page, my nick is suddenly QFox, instead of qFox.
it seems to create the new pages with the first char as a capital, and the next page seems to copy this behaviour...
i know, i know, this is bitching, but still... :)

well good luck with a run. i personally dont think it'll be very much worth it (partially because there are a gazillion different ways to "finish" the game), but hey, thats me.
