Should sync on either DeSmuME 0.9.9/10/11. Decompiler and Bus Timing off.

Still a few things left to try and improve.

Backup.

To be used as reference in case I’ll remake the TAS using Aile.

Backup.

Helpful when you’re jumping over walls to make sure you don’t clip them.

Backup.

Shows XYZ and horizontal real speed, RAM speed, and prints horizontal velocity changes (if you have 100 speed and next frame 50, it will print −50). Added Y run timer and KtQ speeds display. Here’s what a slightly older version looks like: http://i.imgur.com/t5HKpN9.jpg

Works in both USA and JPN versions, draws XYZ position/spawn, horizontal speed, calculated speed which should be a bit more accurate than the RAM one, and prints RNG/speed changes depending on which function you comment-out in the code (defaults to RNG commented out).

Prints a bunch of information about the RNG, USA ROM only. Watch it at work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUQDQpDrmfs

Title. You can see it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzMIhO081Ik

Prints: RNGvalue (#ofsteps)

Saved 92f (would’ve been 95, but lag) by skipping the animation after selecting a character. Fixed lag bullshit from the emu’s stupid handling of save data.

What can I say, power of RNG manipulation.

Saved 4f on Katanal by buffering the input combo for the last hit. Saved 4f on Echigoya by changing the Up+Select dash+dashjump (roof exit) to manipulate the RNG (which saved 2f on the last Shuriken), and threw the second Shuriken 2f earlier than before (was thought to be impossible to hit without correcting our position, but better RNG to determine the Shuriken path was enough).

I think I’m done with the first stage now.

Echigoya dead at 8437. Few frames still improvable entering the fight. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=409096#409096

Improved last 2 hits. Not synced with the rest. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=408866#408866

DeSmuME version 9.06.00

Bug fixes.

“Added an experimental automated ROM version detection system. Compatible with USA, JPN, and EUR. Also added an input toggle for 3 different modes (as suggested by Flameberger), it defaults to key “D”, but you can change it to whatever you want, it’s the very first function in the script (writing “tab” makes it work with the Tab key). The current mode is written on the bottom screen. The modes are: Complete, Moderate, and Nothing. Complete writes all advances, Moderate only those bigger than 1 step, Nothing writes none. Feedback, error reports, feature requests and such all appreciated.”

AWDS Watch file for USA ROM.

AWDS TAS bot by me and STL. …Probably only works on USA ROM.

Saved 3 frames in the starting menus, lost 1 on purpose to Start stage 1 because loading times get shorter then.

Time Survival Map 1 IL in 1 second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Ka3pMw258

ROM: NTR-AWRE-USA Emu version: DeSmuME 0.9.6

Re-TAS’d going to Katanal and saved 38 frames also thanks to the Up+Select trick.

16f improved on Katanal, 2 going to Echigoya.

NK implemented my Up-Down-Square strategy for Katanal and saved 28 frames.

8 frames improvement to Katanal, improved some to Echigoya (badly), Shuriken strategy for Echigoya.

Tenchu USA v1.0 any% first stage mid-boss improved 32 frames. Echigoya desynched, should synch on frame 7812.

Tenchu USA v1.0 any% first stage clear (8864 Echigoya death cutscene).
