Very nice, and definitely a game that deserves a TAS on this site. If only it weren't so laggy.

Oh, this is exciting. I can't watch now, but I've been waiting for a Little Nemo improvement for a while. Gonna watch and vote as soon as I can. //Pretty nice. I liked the new movement in Stage 8. Yes vote.

There appears to have been an error in the youtube encode, the video glitches out at around 50 seconds in and it then cuts off. Can you reupload please???

I'm legitimately blown away by the music they pulled off on a NES. Suck it, Sunsoft.

I'd like to note this is going to set a precedent for other games with TAS Tools in developement which could potentially see submittable movies down the line, such as Half-Life or Quake. Personally, I'm in favor of keeping the category as DOOM, because the TAS Tools are made specifically for Doom Engine games. There are enough games to make this distinction viable. Next to the official Doom episodes and Doom 2, there's also a lot of mods (although they may fall under the same eligibility rules as hacks for other games), as well other games using the engine such as Hexen and Heretic. (Although it would be a bit strange to see DOOM HeXen listed on the site, might be a good argument for the opposite side.) You could however consolidate Doom and Windows (and maybe DOS as well) into a single movie page on the site, since it would be a bit strange to see it listed as its own category. Idunno.

Hey there! To play GBA games on BizHawk, you need the GameBoy Advance BIOS file. It's copyrighted, so I can't link it here, but a quick google search should turn up what you need. Once you have the file, you can put it in the /bizhawk/firmware directory, and the emulator should recognize it. http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/Firmwares.html does not contain the actual firmware files, by the way, but only information about the filename and the SHA-1, which is a code used to verify your file is correct. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi! I have a request for y'alls. I figured this is the most appropriate topic for it. Can someone recognize where the music in the first 20 seconds of this VOD from twitch is from? I swear for my life that I've heard it before, but I can't find it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is it with portable Rayman games including sounds and music from Rayman 2? Nevertheless, nice run. As others pointed out, the Globox segments did kill the pace somewhat, but it wasn't too bad overall. The Reflux fight was refreshingly straightforward in comparison to the main game too. Yes vote.

I keep sound on while frame advancing personally - it's too important to be able to hear what's going on. Certain things that might not immediately be visible on the screen can be heard by a sound cue instead.

WIP Beats Julius. We improved the way to reach Julius' room and the process is over 30s faster than any videos exist. Only 3 bosses, Balore, Legion and Graham, left.
This is really exciting. I can't wait to see the submission.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1FT61lBu4k http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/21140677526230610 WIP4 is here! It includes Death fight, walking off staircase, and blob boost. Not long, but sort of intensive. Hopefully Golden Knife will make the run more entertaining from now on.
Very good! Just one question, why do you need to go so far up the stairs to do the stair disalignment glitch? Wouldn't it be faster to do it lower on the stairs so you don't need to travel up and back down as far?

Speedrunning in general is bigger than ever before right now. While I would honestly be hoping it would've made for a greater boost to the popularity of tasvideos, there are plenty of new users, submissions and progress on games being made. I'd certainly call the community far from "dying" at this point.
