I remember playing this years ago and recently found the rom again. I did some test runs and it seems that it can turn out to be an interesting TAS. I'm aware there's already a run of the NES version of Blues Brothers, but the SNES version is very different. -39 Levels, starts out easy then gets really hard. (in single player, not sure about multiplayer) -You can now throw records (discs), used to kill enemies/open breakable walls. -Many more obstacles (including electicity which kills you in 1 hit) -Improved graphics, sounds, etc. (of course) -2 player games are cooperative, which could make a TAS even more interesting (haven't tried it, however) In addition, it's also fast-paced like the NES version. So what do you guys think?

I don't think it's too difficult for so many emulator players to figure out by themselves, but I am giving the link nonetheless: http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/Using.html#ResumingRecording
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

You don't even know how many levels are there? Ah, we are quite the same :P EDIT: So I've watched your unfinished test run. You seem to get stuck in that level, so you may want to check out some walkthroughs. However, this game may be focused on pure platforming too much and become repetitive. I didn't see many impressive things, if there's any, in your test run. It somehow reminded me of B.O.B. that was not a very successful TAS, due to poor game choice and low TAS tech. Since audience nowadays desires entertainment as well as perfection, a TAS of this game may have a hard time escaping from the TASVideos Grue, even though it's performed better than your test run was. So you may consider another game that is more interesting, or doing something really impressive (and be more precise, of course) in this TAS, if you really want to make it. EDIT 2: I know it might sound too pessimistic, but just keep in mind that it's merely my personal opinion, and I am not the judges who actually make decisions on submissions.

I liked your TAS. There published one NES version. So why not a SNES version from this nice game. Keep going man. But I think the 2 players version would be the coolest.

Indeed. 2 player are 25 stages, 1 player got 40 stages. 2 playes is one players mode allow one character trow each other, but i dont really know how to play two characters at same time

2-player might help.

Use frame advance then. If you find it difficult to hold so many button in the same time, use auto-hold to control one character frame by frame.

Good idea, Blues Brothers isn't a short game, and it's a bit difficult. Perhaps I'll make too a speedrun on it ;)
