Thanks. Can you roughly estimate time that could be saved if this run was done today on the same game version it used originally, but using all the new tricks available for that version?

It might usually make sense if a faster TAS is made during judgement to reject the slower one, but I'm not convinced it makes sense to judge a 2019 TAS by comparing it to 2024 speedruns, especially when a large portion of the time save comes from newer versions of the game.

How large is it?

If you only find one quark and lose all the shots, it won't tell you you solved it but will show the quarks you missed and ask if you want to play again. Doesn't look like an ending, let alone a quicker one.

What would be different when aiming for fastest completion?

TaoTao, do you have a preference on which file should be used for publication - with or without sound? If they are so similar than it's impossible to notice the difference in gameplay (real-time duration is the same too), it sounds like the one with audio would be more beneficial. We can technically publish both movies in the same publication, but I don't know if the silent version is so helpful to have primarily featured like that.

The issue with the Dandanator Mini is that it's a homebrew peripheral, and as such can be made to do pretty much anything. If it's just about loading times, we have SD card readers that just dump a snapshot of the game straight into memory - why bother with the cartridge emulation? If converting from tape to cartridge via a homebrew peripheral is allowed, can I just edit a tape file to remove the loading screen? There's less changes to code in doing that, and plenty of people did that back in the day. Personally I'd rather stick to "official" releases hardware-wise, and as close as we can get to that software-wise as well. As much as it's annoying seeing every microcomputer encode flooded with comments about the loading, I'd rather that than what's effectively starting with a savestate.

While I see the value in allowing 3rd party tools to convert games into a different format to avoid loading, there's indeed a question of how legitimate and authentic the result is, and how do we restrict it to something that makes sense to the community as a whole. Interestingly, if a big part of the community prefers the current strict standard of no unofficial converters, that's a valid stance to take and we can't ignore it. And personally I can't come up with arguments that would be able to push the consensus towards allowing unofficial converters under some clever conditions that make sense to everybody involved...

Thanks! BTW you can edit rerecord count in the movie by opening bk2 in 7zip and putting the right number into Header.txt.

You can beat it without getting them, and the game will tell you that at the end.

This functionality exists in the base game's "debug mode" in the form of the following code, which is executed every time F10 is pressed:
if (global.debug == true)
{
    global.interact = 0
    if (global.phasing == 0)
        global.phasing = 1
    else
        global.phasing = 0
}
The patch removes the global.debug check, so that pressing F10 toggles global.phasing (noclip) even if debug mode is disabled.

Is it possible to recreate that patch from something that can publicly shared in a text form?

This patch modifies the game to allow pressing F10 to toggle noclip. This functionality is only used for a single frame of the TAS.

Does it exist in the game in any way and the patch just binds it to a hotkey, or is the entire noclip functionality added by the patch?

To start with the correct save file, copy all the files from the "start_save_files" folder from the archive into /home/<Your Username>/.config/UNDERTALE.

What do those save files represent, and how were they created? Is it possible to recreate them in a way that the movie keeps syncing?

If you've run this movie past the first few hundred frames, you'll have to copy the files into /home/<Your Username>/.config/UNDERTALE again, every time.

Why? And how many frames in is enough? Also can you provide a movie with correct duration? It can be done by running the movie until the last frame where libTAS pauses, then advancing one frame and saving the movie.

While I wait for my TAS to finish being judged, I have made this other TAS of a SMW Creepypasta Hack. I would like to send it as a submission, but because of its gore I have doubts whether it will be admitted or directly canceled for this same reason. Is this Hack admissible? Link to video

We couldn't reach a complete agreement among staff, but at the very least publishing such a movie would require a content warning system, which we plan to add but don't have yet.

Please describe how many you needed in the end and why, and how they are obtained in the game.

You only described the "why". Also would pre-completion and koins help with any other fighter that's available from the start?

I'll send it to RHDN since I have a workflow already.

To keep with the tradition of SMB3 TASes published so far, the PRG0 ROM is used. I remember using a PRG1 ROM in my previous runs (same as Acmlm), but I can't seem to find the exact ROM now...

And the movie doesn't sync on the fixed patch.
