Well, using your handy new client, you can click on a torrent you are leeching/seeding, then click on 'peers' in the bottom window, and it'll show you who you are conntected to, as well as several things about them, including their client. Most people use Azereus or Bit Tornado.

Not if he directly edited the database. But whatever. It doesn't matter.

Well, it's not like it matters. He has database access, so he can make it say or not say whatever he wants.

Or if you're an admin, you can do it whenever. Not sure about mods. Oh, and Truncated was right. Bisqwit messed up on his sentance.

I get what you are saying. But what are you asking? Which should obsolete what? Which is preferred the first time around? What?

Well, if they're not doing anything with the accounts, then I don't think they will mind. I haven't seen anybody complain about it yet.

Compare results does not equal compare players

There are no impossible key combinations.

That didn't seem so bad. Though Arc was certainly wrong in not explaining more, the reactions weren't so bad. Red Scarlet especially. It was certainly better than the flame wars over on gamefaqs.

I used to have problems with gens, but I got those fixed. It was a problem with the actual emulator, not the rerecording patch. I'm not sure if I like the rerecording in it. And also, Genesis is the least favorite of nes, snes and genesis. This does not mean that people should not make games for it. There are plently of great games for genesis.

Does FEAR actually work on bosses? I don't think that the game allows bosses to run.

That could work, but that's not what that forum is there for. It's there for discussion. If you want to look at what movies haven't been decided on yet, you should look in here

Though this might lead to the discovery of glitches that we would never have thought of, if it tries to do other things than run to the right.

Well, all the rpgs that are being done are much more popular than Shining Force. And like I said, Genesis recieves very little attention. Not sure if it would be more or less interesting than the other time attacks planned though.

Ah, that's good to hear. Perhaps I'll look at this later.

Hm..that seems like a good idea...Bisqwit and Phil.. >_> And moving topics is a messy thing to do. It's fine like it is. And the Workbench would be very small if only movies for which it was still undecided if they were going to get published were there.

How can you explain the topics with 20+ pages then? Perhaps it is not the busiest of forums, but it gets a fair amount of posting. And remember, great game to play does not equal great game to time attack. If I recall correctly, Shining Force 1 is a stratagy game, and I don't think that that would make a very entertaining movie. Also, admittingly, the Genesis forum has much less activity than ones for the other systems,

Well, I'm not going to discuss the golf analogy, since apparently every analogy that I've ever made about time attacks has been wrong :/ Ok, yes I am >_< I think it's a decent anaolgy (I'm not going to nitpick). The thing however that makes time attacking acceptable to me is what you mentioned before about both the ends and the means being important. I couldn't agree more. Everyone must admit that rerecorded runs look better if you compare them equally. However, which one is more impressive is a completly different matter. I think that speed runs are a lot more impressive. But do other people in the internet know (or care) about that? Perhaps not :/

You realize that nothing, and I mean nothing, perhaps except for real life, displays 500,000 frames per second? All current rerecording emulators used on this site are 60 fps. There is not a computer in existance that could refresh at such a speed.

That is not what he meant, though I'm sure he didn't mean trying every possibility either. What you are descibing, hex editing, is already a semi-common practice. He's talking about using a computer to find out the keypresses that beat the game the fastest (but not by doing a search tree of every possible combination). Probably what I was taking about before with analyzing the rom. But I know nothing of roms, so I don't know how practical this is.

Is 28 rerecords an accurate number, or is it messed up? Most runs on this site use thousands of rerecords to get everything down perfectly. Number of rerecords is not a factor at all when judging the movie. Use as many as you need to get it perfect. That being said, I have not watched your movie, so I am not passing judgement on it. It might be perfect, I don't know. However, there is usually a correlation between rerecord count and quality of the movie.

Yes, that's correct. If you are counting just the first three frames. 256^n Thus, brute forcing is obviously out of the question. The only way to do this would be to to mess around with the rom, figure out the randomization, look at the engine, a.i., etc..... It has been discussed before several times on the forums.
