Are you getting annoyed at all my attempts? I can test out other things to replace the side hop if you want.

Did you watch the .m64 was that the correct angle though? I really appreciate the help comicalflop.

Is this what you mean by walk in a straight line through the rupees? When I do this I am not in an angle that I can back flip onto the ledge. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1337245872/OoT%20v2.m64

Ok understand I am still not a very good TASer but I am trying to get better and that is why I am posting my first WIP for this game. I am sorry it took longer than I said it would but I am TASing three games currently and this being the hardest to do I kind of slacked but I promise I will try to work more. Please tell me anything I can do to make this more optimized. Thanks for helping me. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1730214943/OoT%20v2.m64

Every Gameboy TAS I try to watch in the emulator desychs. I have the most resent version of the emulator and I didn't change any of the settings. I checked the Desych help FAQ on the homepage but it didn't have any answers. If you guys know how I can fix this I would appreciate it. Thanks. PS: It seems like the inputs happen before they should because if I turn on input display I see it hitting start or what ever before the press start screen comes up.

Because we don't know zelda's lullaby. We learn it using reverse bottle adventure.

GuanoBowl probably thinks I am a total noob and would consider it a dishonor to work with me. The reason I am hesitant to start is why work on a run that someone else is already working on.

Would it be a waste of my time to try Ocarina of Time again? I have been practicing all TAS tricks on multiple games. I am not sure how well I would do. I would make sure to post a WIP everytime I get something new done so that I get get feedback and fix the things that you guys tell me need fixing.

I know how to copy the frames but it won't let me save the file afterward.

Is it possible with TAS movie editor to copy some frames from one of my .m64's and pasting in another? It let me do it but it wouldn't let me save it said "file possibly locked" What does the read-only toggle do?

A lot of you are telling me to redo OoT? What is the point? By the time I finished wouldn't GuanoBowl's be complete? He has a head start now. And he is a pro mine would not be able to stand up.

I love SMB2 and I speed run it unassisted a lot I know all the tricks. Another problem I have is finding working or the correct version rom (I am not asking for help finding them I know it is against rules). I am just saying like I can't find a lot of games I would be into doing. Also on Mupen (before I deleted it) I had TAS input plugin. I would be patient if the product that came out was good. When I try to make it 100% optimized it takes way to long like I am doing something wrong long. And when I do it in a way that I make reasonable (still long) progress it get HIGHLY criticized (as it should). This might just be something I can't do (it wouldn't be the first) Also is it possible with TAS movie editor to copy some frames from one of my .m64's and pasting in another? It let me do it but it wouldn't let me save it said "file possibly locked"

I am thinking about giving up TASing. Last night I was messing around with the emulators trying stuff and I just suck so bad. I got mad and deleted everything on my computer related to TASing. It takes so long and I still don't really understand how to do it. And when I got SOOOOO much hate for my OoT run that really depressed me. I know you guys were being honest I don't want you to lie and tell me it is good when it sucks but I just like TASes so much but I can't make them to save my life.

Hello! Some of you know me already. I am the guy who submitted a run of Ocarina of Time that got highly criticized for being only sub-optimized. I really want to get some respect on this site because I love Tool Assisted Speed runs and everything this site does. I would like some help. What game should I do? Also I have some questions. 1. Frame Advance. I understand how to use it but barely. I know how to hit a certain thing on a certain frame but I don't know how you guys always know what frame what needs to be hit. 2. It seems like everyone here always knows what to do. Like if I chose a game I wasn't already used to speed running where I knew a good amount of stuff (like I did with Oot) I wouldn't know what to do. I think someone on here said something like "you don't need to be good or familiar with a game to TAS it." How can that be. If I had some guidlines to follow or a route I might be able to produce something nice but I want to be like the other people here. I have a LOT!!! of free time. I will work hard. I want to be like the big name people here but as of know I am looked at as a noob. When I was looking at the submission so many people had like 100% yes votes and I have like 60 something THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE. So please all you pro TASers help me... help me PWN!!!!!

3 things 1. Is it possible to correct something in a movie without starting over? 2. The avi doesn't play properly what codec do I need? 3. How do you skip the first owl with a deku stick?

The bottled letter is for RBA. It is used to get arrows when you don't have a quiver (or bow).
