Don't think I've seen this game mentioned. It's a Japan-only RPG similar to the Mario and Luigi series. Attacks involve timing based minigames which can be easily rigged, though I haven't found out how to make enemies miss. Virtually all random battles can be skipped. Battle example: https://youtu.be/PuG14v3FmDM?t=145 You get free weapons after each boss. Collecting "Pacifiers" around the world earns you weapons as well, though I don't think they're worth the time. From my experience so far, the Volcano weapon seems to be the best in terms of damage per time. List of weapons: https://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/565819-tomato-adventure/faqs/18650 (ctrl-f "-demiru") For now I'll play through the game once to get a feel for it. It's very linear game so minimal route planning is required.
I can't watch that, can you share some movie file? I did a casual test run long time ago, which is very improvable. I don't know what type of that run, 2 player run is a better choice for TAS, it makes the run more entertrainment to watch.
Are you going to be working on it zoboner? Or doing research?
@zoboner thanks for the LUA work . I see this is accepted now and I probably won’t be trying to improve it right away, but I would encourage you to try yourself. Since you seemed to work out RNG pretty easily I’m sure you’ll find improving this pretty easy. EDIT: Actually, nevermind, I found a better manipulation on the first opponenet, so I'll just cancel this one and submit a clean, improved version when it's ready.
@zoboner: When are you going to finish the lua script? If you're going to need much time, then could you please upload to userfiles an improvement of the first fight?
Do I continue to show you my WIPs or I don't spoil you?
I agree with £e Nécroyeur and Patashu. Also, this run is very surprising (because how much speedy) and entertaining (for a SMS/GG game), although I find the bosses repetitive. Once again you did a great work. Yes vote. And thanks for the "magical (or lua)" encode.
This game was an excellent choice, zoboner. Yes vote!
Mon francais n'est pas bien, je utilise l'anglais. If I misunderstood the question, please disregard this post.
Je ne connais pas les autres émulateurs non plus, mais effectivement sur Bizhawk il faut cocher la ligne Capture OSD dans File > AVI/WAV De plus si tu veux enregistrer du texte en lua, il me semble qu'il faut utiliser la commande gui.drawText() dans ton script, car gui.text() n'est pas capturé.
