If this was improved by 1 frame, it'd be 3:14.15 for the digits of pi meme. Worthwhile?
A reminder: ACE is when you either deliberately or accidentally construct assembler instructions, that did not exist in the game originally, somewhere in the memory, which are then executed by the processor. If your movie results in the processor executing instructions that were not part of the game program or which could not be generated by the game at runtime without explicit design by the player, then it counts as ACE.
There are games which compose instructions in RAM at runtime, and those instructions then get executed, but only if those instructions are composed from joypad inputs somehow without restriction to what those instructions might be, then that is ACE.
Since the primary techniques are still the same, the only distinction is what you do with them, which is when it becomes a matter of technique optimality. Which is when it also becomes a matter of audience support.
Does it still corrupt RAM?
I don't actually disagree with the sentiment, but I would note that with two movies that are identical bar a one-frame improvement, and yet having almost two full points of entertainment rating difference between them, I don't think entertainment rating can be considered a very reliable indicator here. (Same goes for the other movie, which has similarly skewed ratings compared to its predecessor)
Thank you for the responses. But, how do I enable GBA mode for GB/GBC games? Also, what is the difference between BSNES and BSNESv115+? Sorry if these questions have been answered before, but I'm new to the scene.
By my understanding, the only thing required for 100% is that all items are gained through in game means. If you use ACE to set up those legitimate means, it still counts.
unless there is a way to archive it somewhere, let's just cancel/reject this submission
How major is the improvement?
I apologize for the late post... I'm wondering if this movie shouldn't obsolete the existing branch. For Gen II games, it isn't considered beaten after just beating the league, even though that DOES trigger the credits rolls. So why should FireRed/LeafGreen be allowed to beat just the first round of the league? And even in the case that it wouldn't be considered an issue, doesn't the existing published movie have too many redundant content with this submission? Even then, I think that it should be obsoleted by Round 2. Not sure if the label should stay there or be cleared.
Have you already tried the jingle skip applied on the Elixier in Route 25? Even though it would require to be spotted by the hiker, it may still save some frames.
Also, the description of this movie says that Charmander may be better. Is that incorrect?
