I went left to get onto the top platform so I can keep 100% uptime on him. Going right doesn't need invulnerability, because he will be out of reach no matter what if you jump from the slightly lower platform. This is what I used in the second fight. This is faster than going left, but only because it's the better pattern as seen in the second fight. Having invincibility doesn't help there. Taking a hit helps a lot when going left, only losing 10 frames for the knockback. If he then didn't do his additional high jump for 7th jump, it would be faster by 14 frames.
This wont be improved by taking a hit. But you're still welcome to look for an improvement. I think better positioning at the end could help, but going under him is way faster then letting him high jump.
As for the dolphin error, that usually has to do with your settings for the controllers. Make sure your gamecube ports and wiimote's 2, 3, and 4 are set to none, wiimotor and speaker data off, and that your wiimote 1 configuration is consistent. But you might still have to restart it.
Let me explain you how different they are.
And generally speaking, are there any concerns I should know about with trying to create a two-part TAS that involves loading from save?
Note that I probably could have selected the mode faster by using touch. Also note that this was made on an older version of the emulator, I don't know if it syncs on the current one. It was made on desmume_0.9.2-rr.
It could entirely be possible that the emulation differences in later versions of desmume mark this run as (near) optimal, but you can't really tell based just off of these 2 comparisons.armer has the durability of 5.
2) If the USA version is harder than the Jap version, shouldn't a "hardest difficulty" run use the US version instead? TASVideos doesn't seem to have any clear precedent concerning version choice in this way...
Or if we're lucky there will be a steam-less version in a Humble Bundle sometime. I saw some runs and kept wondering what a TAS would do in this game.
Question: Is it not possible to beat the green eye on Rangda Bangda the first time it appears? Or would it adversely affect the fight against the main body?
Here is my unfinished WIP of Trauma center 1 that gets up to Mission 24 (DeSmuME version 9.03.00). If I were ever to get back on the project I'd obviously have to restart using the most recent version of Desmume.
