My avatar started when I suggested glitching a Snorlax for the Pokemon Red run. As Primo used a picture of Gyarados in his sig, I used a picture of Snorlax. Now, it looks like the pokemon of choice will be Nidoking or Gengar, but I still like the Snorlax. It's sort of an expression of my personality - laid back and happy usually, but when I'm mad, get out of the way!

A far more worthy game to TAS would be Pokemon Red, with the newly discovered save glitch.
Can you convince us that you can actually beat the game? You can say all you want about 6 L100 Charizards having Move 0 with 0 PP with the game going crazy after the first battle. All of that is worthless unless you beat the game.
I haven't thought too much about Pokemon Emerald, considering that I'm trying to work on an improvement for Pokemon Sapphire. I hope that by using a new strategy, the run can go under 1:35:11.
That's a rather specific number. How'd you get there?
I'll try to use the save glitch to my advantage and produce a test run.

I think in Impossible Creatures, you can make a cross between a Praying Mantiss and a Lobster.
The result? Praying Mobster.
Hours of fun, that game is.
Komodo drunk, komodo drug, snapping turtfish, raving cobra... Good times. Good times.

No kidding, Rridgway. I'm not obsessed with any video game characters. Well, not any of the ones you would see around. My greatest video game character obsession is with the Chamale, hence my name. It's a creature you can create in the game Impossible Creatures. I'll get up a picture soon.

With what, ending at certificate or ending at credits?
I think that, because Pokemon are like items in an RPG, it should be a "100% run" in that it gets all Pokemon, but not necessarily all items.

Are you sure? I'm looking for a guide that says what % of the intel for Aces each card gives you.
I think this run should be near-pacifist. There should be no killing for fun. However, there can be frivolous deaths if they are a result of what I call "Straight-line fighting". That's where you get in the fastest vehicle as fast as possible, and go in a straight line to your objective. Don't go out of your way to kill enemies, but don't avoid them either. If you run them over, too bad!

Dune II apparently "formed the RTS genre". I know nothing about it, but if it's an RTS... I think an RTS TAS for DOS would be fun to make (and funner to say).

See, the game actually does record hard resets. It shows up on instant display as an exclamation point (!). If you hard reset during a save, and while watching a movie, it keeps the frame counter the same (doesn't set it to 0) but it corrupts the save file. It's an easily abused glitch in a TAS.

I've often wondered what it would look like if you kept quoting posts that were quoting posts. So, simply hit "quote" on the most recent post and add which post it is.

If he has a fairly recent version of MacOS X it should be possible to compile basically any unix program, so in theory it should be possible.
(I don't know if Snes9x has been ported natively to OS X. If that's the case, then it's better to use that binary, of course.)
I'm not a nerd. I mean, I'm a nerd, but not programming-wise. Could you tell me how to do that?

The purpose of the original walk-a-thon was to beat the game without using the B button to run. If you have to use raccoon tail to float over gaps, that doesn't violate the principle.
Exactly. In fact, it will make the Bowser fight a lot harder. Can Raccoon Mario kill Bowser with insane spinning?
