Hey, as long as it's about Uniracers, I don't care! :)
So no more talking about Unirally? :-(

I uploaded images - viewable online or downloadable as a .zip. http://www.aciddica.com/this_will_be_deleted_at_some_point_in_the_future/unirallymanual.html http://www.aciddica.com/this_will_be_deleted_at_some_point_in_the_future/unirallymanual.zip If you could look through and tell (or, preferably, show) me any differences, I'd appreciate it. Halamantariel, sorry for the slightly off-topic subject.

*whips out instruction manual*
That first quote, letter for letter, is in the UK version. But the only handwriting in the UK manual is on the last page ('theory of uniraces'). Hmmm... seems odd. I might have to buy the US version and compare. Or... if I were to show you mine, would you compare them and show me the pages that are different? My favourite part is the colours section, where it mentions 'pink & orange, tartan, polka dot', then 'red & orange & yellow & green & blue'. Puyo Puyo 2's also a great manual, with detailed character art and lovely design (Super Famicom manuals seem nicer in general - colour being the norm rather than exception), but Unirally's the only manual I've read that's made me laugh.

Great job on the new vid.

I like how the instruction booklet says there's 4 hidden stunts. Did they never make the last 2?
It doesn't say that in the local (UK) version. I assume you mean the Uniracers manual? What exactly does it say?

Ahhhhh... hahaha. I was a silly bunny. I got the unirally rom rather than the uniracers one. Firstly - I gotta say - WOW! Seeing all those tricks being fitted in on dragster and disappearing off the screen on zoom zoo... seeing this game being performed TAS-style is really something. Secondly, thanks for the program recommendation, which indeed let me watch the .avi and realise I was missing something. When I first saw the .smv, you didn't even complete dragster - having started moving to the left (thanks to your pressing that direction in mid-air, I suppose, as well as PAL/NTSC timing?). Ah well. Now I can have a chuckle over my mistake and learn that the version matters. I suppose I should expect all .smvs to be for the US version? I'd like to take a moment to note that the typography for 'uniracers' and 'unirally' is totally different. The US name is big, blocky and 'macho' whilst the European name is lowercase and 'friendlier' and has a cute decorative i. Anyways, sorry for going off-topic. Thanks for showing the WIP and I'm now more eager than ever to see the full thing, having had a taste. I'll be patient though. As a side-note, I notice you didn't seem to be able to make any stunts on the upwards green track. I never did that when playing, but I always felt there must be some undocumented trick to being able to jump despite going upwards. Maybe not. Keep up the awesome standard!

:( DON'T run obscure gameboy games. I recommend you run a well-known game. I made a huge mistake running Tom and Jerry for my first video.
Why was it a mistake? Lack of positive reception?

Try? like starting a run? or just to know it?
Oh no!!! Just to play it and try to complete it. From what I hear, completing it alone's something to be proud of - certainly would be for me. I started the first Kaizo last night and was flabbergasted! I've not delved into the whole frame-incrementing aspects of emulators.

At 1:28 I love the way you throw one P to pick it up later and stomp on the other, rather than just picking up the former straight away. Also, nice showboating with the fish-jumping. Didn't watch beyond the first level as I think I'd like to give this a try myself first, but I'm looking forward to watching this afterwards.

You're in for a treat! I've TASed the game a little in the past, and came up with a 23.56 time for the first track.
It seems I can't get the .avi working. Quicktime says it uses an h264 codec and I can't find a suitable thing or work out what else I could use to play it. Any chance of you uploading this 1-track preview onto a .smv? I watched the 2 smvs you do have and they seemed like some sort of trial run. Anyway, I've gone years without seeing an inhuman feat at Unirally, so I'm happy to wait a little longer. Looking forward to learning of your the project's completion, whenever that may be. As you say, it seems incredible to know how close that weight-lifting youtuber was to perfection. I remember hearing about him at another site and it blew my mind! Everyone commented that the flip-twist trick didn't have much benefit outside of Dragster, but I expect you'll find a few uses for it on other tracks with the tools at your disposal. Ganbatte, Halamantariel!

I actually came into the forums, to see if there was any info on a Unirally/Uniracers speedrun being done. There must be an insane amount that could be done - from the boost-saving trick, to skipping loops and bits of track you weren't meant to. When playing normally, I was overjoyed the first time I got the 'out of bounds' bit of track - it'd be wild watching a TAS really taking the game to its limits. I just want to offer my support, even though I can't really do much. I understand that TASs take a silly amount of time and effort so I just want to say you'll have an avid watcher in myself when you do finally complete it, whenever that may be.
