I may be the odd ball here, but I never thought I would see the day where all the sand was removed from the play field. I'm giving you a yes, only because I've had these kind of thoughts...wondering if it was possible. When I played Mr. Do!, in my youth, I used to think of the same thing with that game as well. Now that I've seen this...I'm curious if that would also be possible.

For your information, if you want to make a (temporary) encode in FCEUX, you may want to do the following steps to only capture the game portion of FCEUX: https://fceux.com/web/help/AVICapturing.html This TAS... I don't know... - Outdated FCEUX version. TAS uses 2.2.3. FCEUX latest is 2.6.4 - Goal "Playaround": the TAS plays the very first level of the game and deletes the screen. I got similar feelings like watching a NES SMB Mario TAS with "maximum time" where they just waste time instead of doing something hard/impossible/unexpected/anything other than simply playing the game - Route... you make too many backtracking (going through already deleted area), helping enemies to escape and be a hassle for yourself... definitely improvable a lot. The perfect strategy seems to be something along the lines: 1. 12 columns and 12 rows with a few already empty tiles and 4 enemies that able to go through walls sometimes and some powerups. You are supposed to clear the outer area first while going for the inside area or clearing sections in a circular fashion to empty the intersections. 2. The ending of the route should be touching the final tile while killing the enemy at the same time. I'm going for a strong no primarily because the goal does makes no sense for me.

The reason I didn't use the most recent version of FCEUX is because I couldn't get it to work on my computer

Tell me what's the problem, I might can help you

I assume you are using Windows x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit). The 2.2.3+ versions requires administrative access to the computer. Try to run it as administrator. edit: Right-click over fceux.exe and select the Run as administrator option.

Please show me your log from your event viewer: 1. Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools 2. Double-click Event Viewer edited, sorry for the stupid mistake :) 3. Go to Windows Logs > Application 4. Wait... this takes some time... 5. Press CTRL+F and type fceux.exe and click Find Next This will show information only fceux.exe related. Repeat step 5 find next until you can find an error and please copy paste it.

Your computer is probably has one of the following problems: - Virus infected computer. Run an anti-virus software. Here's a free one: https://www.clamav.net/ - Not enough system requirement. Please screenshot your Task Manager > Performance tab while FCEUX 2.2.3 running while you record it from FCEUX, not OBS. - Missing crucial registry entries or system files. Try running: sfc /scannow According to that 2 months old event, you might have memory problem. Try running Memory Diagnostic Tool in Windows. edit: I'm not sure which is exactly your problem, so start with you think to be the most likely to be the cause. Regarding the Event Viewer, you could also search it in Windows > System.

I will see what I can do I would love to TAS Mr. Do! but I don't know which version I will pick what is your favorite version?

To me this isn't a playaround but rather a "clear the screen" goal. A goal that is arbitrary, but leads to a lot of potentially interesting strategies for doing it quickly. But this movie doesn't do those things quickly. I don't know if it would be interesting to do so, but I think it would be far more interesting and entertaining than this playaround, if it a TAS aimed to clear the screen in as few frames as possible.
