Luck manipulation

I did disassembly analysis, and I made item prediction Lua Script to optimize collection Bolts and Weapon energy. In this game, item drop pattern is divided into 6 types. But, first type's all of probability is zero. So I call this "Type 0" as a matter of convenience. Here is item drop table.
TypeLife smallLife bigWeapon smallWeapon bigBolt smallBolt big1up
000000000000000
120182018000001
230300808303001
308083030303001
418101810383003
510081008504002
These values are stored in 0xC0BA8D ~ 0xC0BABC. The numerical value which broke these values by 0x100 becomes actual probability. For example, big Bolt in type 4:
0x30 / 0x100 = 18.75%
Therefore, it comes out by the probability of 18.75%. Here is the script source code.

All that graphical corruption going on... So distracting! Is that done intentionally, or is that a side effect of being as fast as possible?
Some of the graphical corruption is on purpose,some is side effect. Intentionally: Re-pirate fight. King1. Turn the background into black in red crystal room. And many occasions. Side effect: Usage W.Burner light the powder box in astro. Usage graphic glitch force character into the corner when you got the fourth CD in ground. In intro,zip through drill area and then zip-down by L.Bolt,background change. And many occasions.

I like how there's a very clear progression in this run: It starts out as standard Mega Man, and you do frame-perfect jumps and super rapid-fire to kill the boss, like any other TAS. Then you get Ice Wall. Most physics disappear. Then you get Lightnig Bolt. All physics disappear. Then, when everything seems to have settled down, you show Tengu Man who's boss. Some graphics start messing up, but nothing major. And then you reach the flying tank in King 2. At that point the game gives up and Mega Man just dances around for the rest of the stage, but everything dies anyway because he's Mega Man.

Press numpad 1~5 changes drop pattern. When you press zero, script disappears. Green: Life energy, Blue: Weapon energy, Red: Bolt, Yellow: 1up, Gray: nothing A bar which overflows under the frame means a big one.

I think you should publish this now and I will add the encodes to the archive later.

Listen, I know the game is glitched all to heck and back... But can we please put up a more cohesive screenshot? I tire of seeing screenshots that look like they were scribbled into Paint by a five year old.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

I like this screenshot. Archive.org streaming is out of synchronization in my environment.

I second this. I think it should be obvious what the game is by the screenshot.

I made a point of picking a frame where Mega Man was not distorted at all. I'm not too attached to this screenshot honestly, but I think sparky or the other authors would be best to determine if it should be replaced or not.

It's Rush, Megaman's sidekick, here he's digging for CDs hidden in some terrain. Since this run collects all CDs, player has to wait fixed amount of time before the CD appears.
