moodrings
When you mentioned that, I thought the mood ring was some fictional thing, like from a Zelda game or something like that, but I was surprised when I saw what came up first in a Google search about moodrings.

However, I'm concerned about Truncated's finding. Does the author comment? Is there a new movie being made? If there is, or there is potential that a new movie will be made, it should not be accepted.

People are probably bypassing the confusing "classic console games being played extraordinarily, using an emulator as a tool to overcome human limitations such as skill and reflex." and understanding the video as if played normally.
Maybe you noticed not, but the description is actually a direct copy from the front page of Nesvideos.
And maybe you noticed it but it's too easily ignored in your opinion. To which I don't comment.

Bisqwit mentioned the unavoidable desyncs too. Seems like this game cannot be recorded in current snes emulators without desync happening?
I'm using a different snes9x version than most of the others, and I have never made movies with it before. I don't expect others to have the same problems I did.

Strafe-running works just fine... but you can't turn while strafing, and the game only accepts new input every 4 frames (or so), and the precision of turning is rather coarse.
Also, it requires a large number of buttons to pressed at the same time in many cases.

So I would really appreciate if some people or someone could put me in the right direction.
Well for starters, read adelikat's message in your previous Gradius submission.
After that... maybe there is nothing that needs to be said.
Edit: What avatar?
Edit 2: Topic merged to the existing topic. Next time, use the Search to see if there is already a topic about the game!

The SNES version has a low FPS (downsampled by ratio of 4, making it 15 fps), and a low resolution (around 192x160 or something), and it does not render floor and ceiling textures.

How is posting stuff like this not a bannable offense? I'm semi-serious.
Because it is an obligatory part of Internet culture for everyone to be introduced to screamers.
That way, you will develop a healthy paranoia that prevents you from enjoying anything that either relaxes you or demands your concentration on the fear that it's just another screamer.

They linked to your mario gif section, how lame.
No, that is how Internet works. I actually appreciated that.
The page is not a sole property of the Nesvideos website. It's a webpage in the Internet.
(The page in question being this: http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioBrosTricks.html)

Last Friday night, my site was featured on the frontpage of a popular internet news site, http://www.digg.com/ .
It caused an amount of traffic that made my site unavailable for some time.
I sent a query to my ISP asking why does that happen; there is nothing wrong in my bandwidth or the server's capabilities.
This is the reply I received (translated):

Hello
New connections cannot be formed if the RAM of the DTE is exhausted. Concurrent connections are really high in the port of your subscriber line; they are at least 2000 all the time with the last 24h maximum being over 2500. Not many DTEs can handle even half of that amount gracefully.
(DTE=data terminal equipment, aka. modem)
This explanation seems plausible. I bet the BitTorrent tracker is the major culprit behind the amount of connections.
Now thinking of ways to apply TNSe's idea of harnessing a Linux box as a DTE.

Before posting, please make sure that you have read these pages:
* The Forum Rules

Seen that somewhere? I leave an exercise to find the pages referred in that list.
