Game Introduce
"Adventures of Bayou Billy" is one nes game created by Konami.There are much style in this game.You can fight to enemy with you fist、foot、stick and other tool.In the stage 2 and 7,you can take aim with sight.This is a new style in NES.Not only that,you can also drive in highway.The highest speed of car can be 180km/h,so fast.and it can fire and bomb ^_^.So interesting.In china,we call "Adventures of Bayou Billy" "鳄鱼先生".The story is show heroism.The leading role-Billy loves Annabelle,and Annabelle also love Billy.They originally may make life happy,but ons day a group of unprincipled person kidnap Annabelle.So Billy fight for love.Yes you are Billy.By the way,if you finish the game,there are three different result you can see.It is decided to which you select.I think it is wonderful if you select love Annabelle,it is so romantic.
Tactics
I have remake this speedrun on basic of Phil's work.So thanks Phil's speedrun first.I have improved this game 56 seconds.I try bset to make speedrun look fluent and cool.I want to do more exactly,so I debug enemy's address.Manipulates luck and taking damage to save time are veyr important skill.There is a small bug Phil pprobable neglects.In stage 7,we can miss some enemy from roof by turn left to right return left.Then programme will let some enemy ignore you.I miss 6 men then Phil in stage 6.
Enemy address
There will not be more than three enemy appear in the same time. The first man 0511.The second man 0512.The third man 0513.This three address contains BOSS's address.

Nice improvement. There is only one thing that I don't like. I think there is too many excessive shooting in auto-scrolling shooting level. Other than that it's really good and nice discovery for enemies that don't fall. I didn't know that one.

I always had a hunch that the current published run could be improved a bit. Glad to see I was right. Excellent work. Easy yes vote. Keep them coming Xipo :)

Am I the only one who can't get the AVI of this run to play beyond a blank screen? Or do I just have an outdated codec?

Nope...movie is seemingly busted. At best I can get it to start, but there's no sound.

Which players are you using? This and Bucky O'Hare suffer from the same symptoms on different players.

EDIT: I found the problem. The audio was encoded with joint stereo instead of mono (why I didn't catch this before, I don't know). Pending approval from the appropriate person/people, I can upload the fixed version.

EDIT 2: It turns out you just have to change ONE BYTE in the file to fix it: change the byte at offset 0x12A from 01 to 02.

Yeah, change it from 02 to 01.

Winamp and Windows Media Player both suffered from the same problem on my machine: the video played way too fast.

broken on vlc (nightly build) and quicktime (with perian) - both on os x - too. vlc just dies, quicktime gives me normal video, speedy sounds and then lags and dies.

edit: and yes - the above fix does the trick here too

Worked fine for me, without changing anything. Though the video lagged when fullscreen, so I had to watch it in a large window.

Mine works, but it doesn't have any sound. Maybe they can update the file used and reset the download count?
