Understood. I just wanted to make sure I got it right, and not jumping to conclusions like I did the other day in the IRC channel.
Speaking of which, I still cannot access this site from home. :/
See if you have entries to this site in your hosts file. I had the same problem.

You should start with Nintendo 64 runs, but that requires coding a compatible emulator, so you should do that first instead. Then do Mario Kart or something...
Ugh... I hate downloading movies from there. Why cant they just have a torrent setup so you dont have to download every segment individually? Geez
ftp://ia108035.us.archive.org/3/items/PokemonRed_240
Every run on archive.org has a ftp link, just put that url into your favorite client and download 'em all that way.

I hear you can use it to skip right to the wind fish's egg. Try searching around David Wonn's site or something.
EDIT: Ah, here we go.

Complete the game in FIVE MINUTES
sent in by glitcher
I originally sent in a walkthrough on how to finish the game in fifteen minutes. But now I’ve found a way to beat the game in a third of that time. This method is theoretically ‘safer’, but technically less reliable. Here’s what to do:
- Start a new game and speak to Tarin to collect your shield.
- Exit Marin’s house and go to collect your sword on the beach. It’s faster if you warp directly south from where you start. Also, you can avoid the owl’s speech by warping the sword onto another screen and collecting it there.
- Go a screen left and up, then warp south twice. You will appear in the mountains where you find the Turtle Rock warp hole.
- Save and quit to restart at Marin’s house.
- Now go north-east and warp to the prairie warp hole. It should deposit you back in the mountains.
- Enter Turtle Rock, then save and quit to restart at the beginning of the dungeon.
- Go up one screen, then warp south three times to appear in the final nightmare’s room.
- Instead of fighting it just yet, warp south then back north again to reappear at the top of the final nightmare’s room.
- Warp north once (the final nightmare will follow you) and wait until the gel appears and starts to attack you.
- When it is on screen, warp south back into the final nightmare’s room (for the third time). Now you are facing TWO final nightmare’s. This will cause the battle to get all screwed up.
- The gel battle won’t occur (if it does, you have to start again) and you will be facing two Aghanims. Once you’ve defeated one (the other is invincible), it will explode and transform into Ganon (the Moldorm battle won’t occur either). If all goes well, the second nightmare will turn into a bo staff and spin aimlessly around the room. If this doesn’t happen, you have to start again.
- Wait until Ganon throws his staff; it will follow the other one and never return to him. Spin attack Ganon twelve times, then spin attack the Lamnola WHEN THE TWO BO STAFFS ARE OFF THE SCREEN! (this will make the final battle much easier)
- When the Lamnola transforms into the Shadow Dethl, the two bo staffs should transform too, but one of them will mysteriously self-destruct. This will cause the stairs to appear.
- Lure the on-screen Shadow Dethl away from the stairs, then make a dash for them when you think you have the time. The hardest part is getting Link to walk up the stairs without him being killed by the Shadow Dethl’s flailing arms.
- That’s it! If you’ve followed the walkthrough above, you should have finished the game with only your sword and shield in hand and ZERO INSTRUMENTS, all within five minutes! Give yourself a pat on the back if you manage to accomplish this feat!

in your mind, maybe
I do believe that myself and others have established the fact that a 'time attack' does not necessarily mean the same thing as a 'tool-assisted speed run.' If anything, they should be referred to as 'tool-assisted time attacks' as well...
