This topic is for the purpose of discussing #2799: jlun2's GBA The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past "Palace of Four Swords" in 06:35.13

You might want to actually look at your movie file, you probably uploaded the wrong one. Not only does it not reach the ending, you get yourself killed by the final link. Ignoring the above, while this is probably a technically good run, I rather dislike the huge graphical discoloration/etc. that occurs due to it, and it significantly reduces the entertainment I'd get from it. I shall abstain from voting until a fixed movie is posted, however.

I just downloaded the run and it seems to work fine. Note: You shouldn't do anything at all after the movie ends as the last Link should walk towards to the Boomerang twice and die.

The first to raise the middle bar. Funny how Link warped to a rainbow dungeon as a result of that glitch. Nice! [Y]

This has to be the most corrupted run I have seen this week, and there was some serious competition this week. Oh and I don't think this would win if it competed in the "fastest in game time" category ;)

Voting yes, I found the run rather entertaining. The broken palette actually made it slightly more entertaining for me.

WTF moments but in a good way. Yes voting

... What the HELL was that? Yes vote. I love a good glitched run.

I knew about the up+down trick from the Link to the Past video, but this one goes far beyond that in craziness. Yes vote. It would be nice if I knew what was going on.

Voted Yes + HD encode incoming!

Some room in the game you aren't supposed to get to causes some catastrophic memory overwriting, that leads to a bunch of other really nasty problems.

Sorry, but I can't do the encode. I only get the Game Over screen at the end. I'm using the right ROM (with the same exact number) and VBA22.

brain a splode! HELL YES

It many colours im vote yes

I just re-downloaded VBA v22 and got a desync. I think I can fix it. Sorry for any inconvience caused. Edit: I placed an empty frame just before the last boomerang and it seems to work on a "new" VBA v22. You can download it here. If this doesn't work, then try deleting the vba configuration file before starting the emulator.

Thank you for sharing Link's LSD trip with us. This would also explain his money constantly decreasing.

This wins glitchy award for the year. I have never seen a glitch recolor the entire game pallet.

HD encode right below! Link to video

But only if you have enough rupees! Oh wait link has a shitload. Yes vote.

I'm going to have to go against the flow and give this one a no. A high-range no (just below a meh), but still a no. The "under the floor" glitch is already showcased plenty in the SNES run. Stretching out the game by going for a farther ending point doesn't really add any additional entertainment except in those few instances where there is interaction with the environment going on. While invoking the "Cursed Link" glitch is fairly interesting, the side effects of the glitch are incredibly annoying. Making the low health and rupee sounds go constantly negates the entertainment that should have been gained by breaking the game so thoroughly. I also didn't care for the corrupted color palette, but that was far less offensive to the senses than the sounds. I liked the final boss fight (although I have no idea what was going on), but I have a nagging feeling that the input is ended too soon. I've never been a fan of movies that force the watcher not to touch anything for a significant period of time just so they can end input sooner. If null frames are required to beat the game, my opinion is that they are part of the run even if they can theoretically be omitted from the input. I don't see a big enough difference between forcing the viewer to leave null input after the input ends and forcing them to hold a button after the input ends. I'm not sure how much of the desync problem is due to how early input is ended, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is a large cause of the problem. To clarify, the "no" vote has nothing to do with when the input is ended and is based on the fact that this run primarily consists of more of the same things seen in the SNES run and a glitch that makes the rest of the run incredibly annoying. jlun2, don't take this personally. I fully admit I'm a harsh critic, especially when it comes to branches that I don't think add enough new and exciting content. If the SNES glitched run wasn't already on site or if I wasn't so sensitive to auditory annoyances, I would have given this a more favorable vote.

I'm going to have to go against the flow and give this one a no. A high-range no (just below a meh), but still a no.

A high range no? I don't think that's very encouraging at all bro, in fact I'd probably take offense to that if I were the runner. (this is like saying its a piece of shit but not quite as bad as diarrhea) But that's just me... Just say no and say why and dispense with the attempts to make people feel better about your vote/reason. Glitched and broken run, I love it! Yes vote.

So if I say "strong no vote" like I did here. Does that suddenly make it more acceptable? I'm sorry but the corruption glitch, the sounds mainly. Made it largely unwatchable for me.

To me this is a cool run that might have a place in Gruefood Delight. It's hard to argue for publication, because ultimately this is a run of a rerelease of a game with a small amount of content added. The route is clever and it's interesting to watch, but we're ultimately still looking at a run of LttP + a minute or so of added content; in my mind, this just doesn't justify a new category. Nicely done... I did enjoy it. My vote is meh; I'm not entirely opposed to its publication, but I suspect it won't happen, based on past precedent. Good work and I look forward to future submissions from you.

This movie is bound to get an award. Yes, yes and yes.
