Hmm, that's what I get for bookmarking the old SDA topic and not looking at the forum. =P
The V1.0 is just the version of the game that was initially released. Later on different versions fixed some bugs, and changed Ganondorf's blood into green goo, but the first version is as official as any other version, in my opinion.
*tries to lift the corner of the rom*
I know. I meant to ask if it was decided that the TAS would be done with the V1.0 rom.
About the bomb glitch: Was Kazooie somehow dropping the bomb before he/she jumped? I'm trying to test it out as Adult Link. As far as I can tell, though, the blast propels me forward, not up.
EDIT:
It works! Here's a movie file recreating the trick. I got it to work based on Kazooie's description of what he did on the SDA forum. I wasn't exactly sure what "hammering" the B button meant, so I just pressed it on alternating frames several times.
I'm sorry for the lack of smoothness during the seam walking, but I've never done that before and it was horribly easy to fall off. I guess I also should have gotten the Din's Fire magic before attempting this.

So what this mean is, you have to be extremely lucky (in a speedrun) to pull this trick, knowing you did it through pressing the buttons at a certain frame..
I think it means that the trick is also possible without a CC.
The only problem I'm having is the fact that there is no snapshot included, so I can't watch the movie.
Well, it could just be that my timing is horrible. I kept on dropping the bomb either too early or too late a lot, as far as I could tell. With adequate practice, it is definitely possible in real time.
That's what I was testing, I hope.
Oops. I thought it was included as part of the movie file. Would it be a file with the extension .st? If so, I've updated the link with a zip file containing both the movie and the snapshot. It doesn't look like the snapshot compressed too well, though (it's 1.6 MB now).
Whoa, that's pretty crazy. But will it really help in the long run? It seems like it would take a lot of time to run that seam (even on a finished version), so are you sure that you can save at least that much time (over the alternative) by getting to the temple early?
Do not try to bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
What Truth?
There is nospoon. Then you will see it is not the spoon that changes, it is only yourself
i get an error from mupen saying it could not find or load the snapshot. i also got a warning about the country code for the movie being 69 and i am 581.
You're using the v1.2 rom, but the movie is recorded with v1.0. I get the exact same error if I try playing it with the v1.2.
BTW, v1.1 has country code 325, if anyone is having a similar problem and it gives that number.
EDIT:
Here's a save state after getting the Hover Boots using the early Shadow Temple trick, for anyone who wants to do any further testing.
Here's another save state, this one with bombchus in the Shadow Temple right after getting the boots. There's been talk of using bombchu boosts similar to bomb boosts, so you guys can test those.
Movie files showing what? I have two or three of the early Shadow Temple trick and one showing how to make the pillar at the end of the temple fall with bombchus. The thread at the SDA forum has several videos of tricks.
sorry i was vague. I meant to ask if there were any other m64 movies files for other tricks. Its much more impressive watching it in the emu with hires textures than some poor avi. thanks
I could probably reproduce most of them and make movies if no one else does or has done so, but you might be in for relatively long wait (one week+) as I'm pretty busy right now.
