If you can get Bizhawk to work, the rom should work on any OS :/
As far as this page says, though, Bizhawk only works on Mac with the mono branch, and the mono branch does not support SNES.
If you can't get Bizhawk to work, I'd suggest trying lsnes. It has a TAS editor similar to Bizhawk's, too (Tools -> Edit movie...)
Ok so i found lsnes and all of the downloads say for windows and stuff. which one do i choose? So i downloaded them all and non of them work, it says it cant be opened because it is windows program.
Question to the SMW experts.
I want to summon Reznor in Yoshi Island 3.
I used the P-Switch to spawn a fish twice and kill the first one since it uses slot 7.
So now I have a fish in slot 6.
I use the double-tongue glitch and Yoshi has got the fish in his mouth.
However the stun timer of the fish (7E1546 if I'm not mistaken) hopelessly stays at 0, so no matter when I spit it out Reznor doesn't come.
If I poke 11 at 7E1546, and spit out the fish, I got Reznor and everything works.
So, how do I activate this stun timer ?
EDIT : Nevermind, found the answer. You have to put the Cheep Cheep OOB.
Is there a thread for SMW romhacks?

Also, the real time credits warp is now under 2 minutes thanks to substantial rerouting by p4 and nathanisbored (and maybe other people, I know a lot ahve worked on it now):

And there's a new silly category where you warp to bowser and kill him, for people who think warping to the credits doesn't count:

So....does the real time runs still use cloud to beat bowser? or do they just complete 3 stages and kill bowser now?
3-exit (with ACE) is a different category from 11-exit (without ACE) is a different category from credits warp (with ACE).
The only completed run of 3-exit (with ACE) I've seen is the one I linked.
One should be created, for hacks that won't don't have a movie in the site.

Getting the cloud isn't ACE. However, there's no way (AFAIK) to proceed without ACE. Running this script on lsnes will display "Open Bus executed!" in the same frame the cloud is gotten, even if Mario dies as quickly as possible.
So, the only reason to slip into 3 categories is due to continuity, but they all use ACE.
Language: lua
-- lsnes-rr2 script
local Bus_executed = false
function on_frame_emulated()
local addr = 0x14a13
memory2.BUS:registerexec(addr, function() Bus_executed = true end)
end
function on_paint()
if Bus_executed then gui.text(0, 0, "Open Bus executed!", 0xff0000, 0x80000080) end
end
gui.repaint()

We've discussed this a lot before. Getting the cloud in your inventory isn't ACE, no data gets executed as code.
If it wasn't, then why is no one submitting an SMW 11 exits run with the cloud to improve Bowser?
Simply, because every TASer who could submit a high enough quality run does not want to make a TAS of this category.
I doubt a cloud run would be accepted, since, as Amaraticando said, open bus does get executed to resume gameplay after Yoshi swallows a Chargin' chuck and Mario is small. This discussion has been repeated a lot: if you execute open bus to get a cloud, why don't you execute it to get the credits?
I guess the way to look at it is: getting a cloud is a glitch that would, in the absence of ACE, crash the game. You're using a minimal amount of ACE in order to prevent the glitch crashing the game, which is a pretty minor use of ACE, but there's still ACE there.
^So again, technically the 3-exit run and 11-exit run (both with cloud) are the same category for realtime speedrunners? (3-exit can be separated from 0-exit by the concrete fact that it defeats Bowser, not much concrete separates 3-exit from cloud 11-exit.)
Out of curiosity, I believe the minimal ACE command is simply holding R to scroll the screen right? What machine code does this correspond to?
I would like to make the argument that if ACE is banned for every category except the fastest (barring playarounds), then the stack overflow credits warp movie should be published alongside the current one. It's an entirely non-ACE way to glitch to the credits. Theoretically if it were submitted after the current one as a "no arbitrary code execution" branch, it would have merit.

MrPyt1001 suggested that I got more than 50 Star Points in YI4.
I'll probably do that if I can manage.
Any help, feedback are appreciated
Much preferred your second go. Felt faster paced, and more varied tricks at a faster frequency.
I personally did not like the need for the back track to a past level for a Yoshi though. Felt like poor planning I guess? Could you not do the same trick in a future level where you already have access to a Yoshi?
Cool to see a new Superplay getting done considering how broken this game has become since the last one.

Excellent. Great watch so far, I can't wait to see more.
What on earth is happening with that spinning platform in YI-3 anyway?

Good job! Looks a lot better than the previous. I don't like so much to see mario lose speed with such ease, as it might look as if it were not planned very well. It's just an opinion.

A few rooms after you grab a star in the goal cutscene, you'll get star invincibility (I don't remember the correct number; it can depend on how many stars you grab, if I remember correctly). So, I guess the backtrack is put there in order to manipulate the star timing, besides picking yoshi up.
Retired because of that deletion event.
