I can't get into BitFS without getting the sub star though. Remember, this run doesn't use the "step" BLJing used to bypass DDD in the 0 star runs.

Some of these new routes just blew my mind, especially BitS. I can't say anything else than that you did a great job.

SL, could you please post the m64?

Blast away the wall was one hell of a surprise. Great work!

Thanks to SL for posting the run! Few stars' route in BitS looks nice (and faster than published runs). The route to get the 15th star is simply amazing. Can't wait for the 120 Stars run. EDIT: forgot to mention about the "blast thru the wall" star, that was awesome.

That owned! A 120 star run with an average quality like that would totally blow my mind. o_O

Very awesome blast through the wall star or whatever and the 15th star route was genious. Also very interesting.

Actually, if you want, any editor could add a link to that .m64 in the description of a 0-star run. It would only be fair to do that.

Good work with the 16 stars TAS there. A shame we didn't finish our 0 star run before then, but I suppose it doesn't matter too much; it was still optimized for what was known.

but... but... there's a youtube link BEFORE the m64? Anyway, I'm attempting to encode this to a high quality video since youtube takes care of low-quality, though past mario64 efforts on my part have ended terribly. (If this turns out well, it will be ready for tomorrow EDIT: Actually I am currently away from home for a while and can't really get it done right away, gimme a few days, sorry)

I do hope that level of precision could be applied to a 70 star run. Its a category that has been discussed before, but it seems more relevant now that there is such a huge divide between 0 and 120 star runs. Either way, well done. fun to watch, and seeing the new methods was really cool.

Well, I encoded this remotely so I have no idea if it ended up the way I wanted or if it's in sync or what and I don't have the bandwidth to check, where I am... high quality video of SL's run, with HR texture pack: enjoy! (not recommended for slow PCs)

Hold the phone! Since when can you load HR packs with Mupen? I used to be heavily involved with the early HR packs. I designed a new character for MK64 and such.... how do you do run a movie while using them?

great quality, and the textures look amazing! sound desyncs, though. this is the first time i've seen the audio get ahead ofthe video, though.

I must say I prefer the original textures. Those hi-res ones can be a bit distracting at times.

That might indicate that your CPU can't cope with the high bitrate and takes more time to decode the video than what is needed to decode audio. If the decoding filter isn't configured to skip frames that couldn't be decoded in time, you get audio ahead of the video.

Re high res being distracting: While I mostly don't agree, it's very jarring when an original low-res one is left in and it doesn't fit with the rest, like say, WF's painting. Also i figured I'd do something different. youtube already has a version of the movie. Re HR possiblility while running a movie: Well, SM64 syncs with EVERYTHING, so I just used the glide napalm plugin telling it to use some HR textures I got like 2 years ago.. I'd love to do the same for OoT or at least use napalm for PD for the special lighting effects present on the console, but unfortunately, sync is a problem. Re sound getting ahead: moozooh is right. I probably should have made it 30fps instead of 60 since nothing in the game runs at more than 30. That and video bitrate is higher than usual at 1300kbps.

Rice's Video plugin can also dump hi-rez textures and then load them back up. My OoT encodes use these, and I think they work pretty well

I like bkDJ's Hi-Res version. Any chance of redoing it so that audio/video sync together ?
