This is being done on the initial european version of the game, using a save file where the mission was downloaded way back in the day.

We use a save file since that's the only possible, legitimate way of accessing the mission without hacking the savefile with a save editor.

HOPEFULLY I CAN START TASING THE REST OF THE GAME NOW RIGHT GUYS

Did this merely for my entertainment, though a published run of this isn't all that trivial. Also, this was made also as I got my own "new" PC now, and to get the feel of TASing since I've been on a hiatus throughout the whole year... almost.

Possible improvements:

• Choosing King Prawn first in the level select is faster.
• The fruit sections and boss in Agent Piggy's level could be better with better RNG and chooosing the right fruit to throw.
• The boss in Dr. Nose's stage could have a better route, as well as less problematic chickens.
• You can crouch on the final boss fight, maybe faster than taking damage.

Aside from those oversights, it's pretty optimized imo.

Encode coming soon. It's good to be back.

BTW, for the confused out there, this is a Neo Geo Pocket Color TAS made in BizHawk. It was possible thanks to the Libretro core.

Doesn't feature any other TASing features, but savestates work and it syncs just fine.

BTW, settings to make this sync:

• DeSmuME 0.9.9 (32bit) used
• Enable bus timing unchecked
• Dynamic recomplier unchecked
• USA version was used

Settings:

• DeSmuME 0.9.9 (32-bit)
• Advance Bus Level Timing unchecked
• Dynamic recomplier unchecked
• USA version of the game was used

Settings:

• DeSmuME 0.9.9 (32-bit)
• Advance Bus Level Timing unchecked
• Dynamic recomplier unchecked
• USA version of the game was used

To sync:

• DesmuME 0.9.9 32-bit
• Advanced Bus Level Timing turned off
• Dynamic recomplier turned off.

Requires dirty SRAM I provided in the thread. :D

• noot submission noot*

P.S.: *noot noot*

Movie ends on wreeeeeench. (solar's 14 frame improvement applied on movie too)

Edit: I think not then. >_<

Verified: Yes

Emu used: BizHawk 1.6.1 with the Vivid color palette.

Played the American version. Used an already saved file. Used the latest desmume emulator and used the default settings.

I found out a useful glitch to avoid puffle switching in Mission 1 that improved the run a lot.

This run was hard to make because most of the time it uses the touch screen, so you have to use the mouse almost all the time. Also the only way to skip the cutscenes is by pressing Start. I hope you like it so far.
