Script that shows various info about enemies: attack, HP left, item drop. It does display an exclamative mark when the drop can happen. Also works in 2 players mode.

updating with better code.

Fixed a bug that sometimes made the speed value slightly incorrect.

Also, the script now distinguishes between maximum jumping speed and maximum falling speed.

Script that calculates the average speed amount, starting from the moment it's launched. Every time you want to do a new measurement, you must restart script execution.

Now the script distinguishes between maximum jumping speed and maximum falling speed. Hurray!

Shoutouts to Spikestuff for the video that shows how to clip the floor by taking damage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyfo6xXXlns

Little script that makes easy and fast to change the vertical position of Harry, for the purpose of exploring the maps.

Keep "O" key to make Harry rise, and keep "L" to make him descend. To stop the floating, just turn off the script.

You can change key buttons and vertical speed by editing the lua file.

First, you need to spawn a money drop. Then, without picking it or making it going out screen, you destroy and keep hitting brick blocks. At some point you will get pietrified. Congratulations, you just hardlocked the game!

This script displays on screen:

• Player absolute X position
• Player absolute X lagged frames (counter resets at 9999)
• Player money
• Player experience points
• Experience points left for next attack level
• Current attack level
• Player HP
• Enemy HP
• Drops content
• Hitboxes of everything except D1 boss and final boss body

Also note that the watches will disappear while the pause menu is open!

This is probably going to be the final version. Enjoy!

same progress, but much time saved!

quick movie demonstrating how to make a round spiky enemy to go into a wall.

2 frames saved in Stage 16 thanks to door frame rule... I guess? All I've done was delaying the stair descending by 1 frame, then the boss skip resulted 2 frames faster.

Stage 16 doesn't need Fire ammo at all.

Pasted the latest s14, s15, and s16 by FatRatKnight.

The only differences are the amusing s14 boss door break and the removing of the Ammo Tank usage at beginning of s15.

We're almost there.

Everything has been squeezed out until Stage 13.

We're short on Laser ammo again and we need to improve the last three stages.

Refined test based on the first draft by FatRatKnight... Though it got 14 frames slower than the current main WIP. There is small room for improvement btw...

Edit: After some quick tests, I've noted that the first hit to the miniboss 6 would be dealt 6 frames later in the best case possible, making it unable to save any frame.

Based on FatRatKnight's ExternalRadar script.

It's a light script that enlarges screen in order to show, outside of game screen:

• spawning borders
• enemy spawns
• hitboxes
• enemy HP and invincibility time

Useful for fighting enemies when they are still outside of screen, and thus also managing Minibosses and Bosses skips.

Scripts that displays on screen the allocation of sprite memory allocation. Ultra-light version by ThunderAxe31, based on the basic script by FatRatKnight.

Colors:
Black - Free
Cyan - Player bullet
Green - Item
Yellow - Enemy (w/ 0+ HP reported)
Magenta - Enemy (w/ negative HP reported)
Red - No detected object -- Memory leak likely

1 Lag frame saved, the only one present in the stage.

Stage 1 resynced after the 8 frames improvement by keylie.

Desyncs again in Stage 4.

desyncs during boss fight

I had 7 frames saved until segment 5, but the level ended only 3 frames earlier. I guess I did something wrong in segment 6. Need someone to double check for possible improvements there.

Simple scripts that shows on screen all next item drops

Quick movie demonstrating that triggering the Shot Counter Glitch is impossible with Wind weapon.

17 frames saved in stage 3, segment 2. the movie desyncs after the miniboss due to animation frame rule. Also note that the rest of the movie remained unchanged.

In order to achieve this, I simply used the bubble barrier again, just before segment 1 ends. This saved 10 frames.

Also, I discovered a new glitch. At 44842, you may notice that Zook does dash on ground right after the Flame Dash is ended, without having to mash the R button, but just keeping it. The game is actually continuing the ground dash started before the Flame Dash. Thanks to a different Y value, Zook managed to stay on ground after the flame dash ended, so he didn't need to jump and the ground dash didn't get broken. This saved 6 more frames.

Lastly, 1 frame was saved, probably for the different Y value, near the save platform.

Script showing on screen speed values

This is my attempt to resync the movie after having killed the first boss 5 frames faster. Due to bad RNG got after using the first Smart Bomb in level 2, it loses time with the locusts in level 3, and ends killing the first mid-boss 3 frames slower. Then the movie desyncs.

getting to talk to the major as fast as possible

Script I made that shows on game screen direction and speed values of last and priors frames. This will make micro optimizations much easier.

Test in which I catch two monkeys in the first level.

About the route: I'm not sure about the first monkey, but the second one I catched should probably be left last.

About optimization: I got the first monkey very fast thanks to the easy set up, and thus getting that earlier may be impossible. About the second one, it is very likely to be possible to catch it earlier with some precise analog inputs, but I need to know the address of the protagonist direction in order to know how to optimize it, otherwise it would be a blind struggle.

Desyncs during the boss battle due to damage and animation frame rules.

level 3 complete

"quick" test showing the luck manipulation strategy. not even a level was grinded before the boss, so this is very likely to be suboptimal.

I've manipulated luck in order to get as fewer random encounters as possible, and making the boss fight as fast as possible without having a single Digimon going ko.

Quick movie showing how to unlock controls after having used MurderBarrier

I managed to save a landing lag frame, just to be foreced to have another right after. Maybe there is something that can be done about it.

Resynced movie after 1 frame improvement by Tompa, but the final stage completion time resulted unchanged due to a frame rule.

Quick and unrefined movie from savestate demonstrating the midboss skip in stage 0.

Note that this movie uses a flying enemy that takes too much time to get near the midboss segment in order to get an actual time save.

Movie featuring the wrong warp glitch discovered by Dooty. Also shows off a game crash by hitting a breakable wall from point blank distance.

Movie file crafted by secret team "The Undecideds" during DTC6 by ThunderAxe31, BoboTheKing, DrD2k9, Dooty & Dacicus.

Floor entry point in level 16.

The idea was to continue moving to the right and then to the down through the walls, but for some reason I'm unable to continue at the end of the slope.

Note: this movie also features neat box tech, which will get useful for the 101% run.

Quick test for comparing to not using the level 1 cutscene skip.

Quick test that demonstrates the level 1 cutscene skip by opening the pause screen twice.

level 1 complete

Level 1 complete, 2 frames saved (again)

improvement of the current file submission, based of using a different opcode from the trainer name bytes.

Level 3 complete.
