Encoding... (Will edit this post soon!) EDIT: Wow... It's a game for a profy encoder! I did everything like Video Dumping guide says, started the dumping without any compression... At the middle of the movie I got a massage that WaveFileWriter is not opened. Turned out that I got low space on local disk C :-) I interrupted the dumping. All the parts, which were recorded (9 parts, each was 30 secs long), had a quality like a TV with no signal (lots of colorful rays). I did the same again, but, instead of dumping frames and audio, captured the movie with Fraps! During the recording, my framerate wasn't below 40 FPS. As a result, I got a 14 min movie with very slow picture and sound (like I was recording with 20 FPS). I don't know why!! I have enough strong GPU for emulating games like that (HIS Radeon R9 270) and drivers are installed. Anyway, your TAS is perfect! I can upload my Fraps capture if you want :-)

I wish I hadn't cut out the loading tbh, as I seem to have confused quite a number of people wondering why the video length is 10 minutes shorter than the run length.
People are not so attentive to read a discription :-) In all rest you're right!

I think there will be some problems with the correct syncing. Is it logically just to cut the loading screens in publication movies like SoulCal did?

Hi, community! Recently, I have upgraded my PC and now I have a wish to TAS Assignment Ada and Separate Ways for Wii, but, after the release of Ultimate HD Edition for PC, a question arises: is there any sence to TAS these campigns? Ultimate HD Edition has so small loading times comparing to Wii, GC, PS2 etc and there are speedruns which are impossible to beat using Wii. As a result, TAS can't beat speedrun and all submissions (which lose to speedruns in final time) will be rejected. Am I right?

Finally! I looked forward to it for a year, since I watched your NES Metal Gear run. I was following your WIPs! Yes vote!

"I thought I did the best, but I was wrong...!" I think I should watch Spectre! Yes vote! BTW, everybody compared my run to maTO's unsubmitted TAS and no-one even tried to find any improvements in my submission before the publication (excepting Spyke's input-checking)! Anyway, this publication requires a tick!

@Dimon12321 Димон, не возражаешь если отожму у тебя Бонда? Тотыкал немного, там все уровни улучшаемы... думаю надо переделать его заново. Но, если очень хочешь улучшать этот мувик самостоятельно, то могу оставить его тебе; помогу советами, как можно сделать это качественно.
Та пожалуйста! У меня было желание сделать reTAS, даже импрув сделал на последнего босса, но отменить сабмишн не успел (уже опубликовали)! Могу посодействовать в прохождении. Сейчас времени на тасинг вообще нет! Учеба, завещанная самим Ленином, покоя не дает! В 2016 году уже поступать буду. Еще жду TAS на Rambo 3!

Due to expected high load on the weekend the frontpage has been made static and needs to be updated manually. It seems you also have a stale copy in your cache, refresh the frontpage with Shift + F5.
Is there any solution to Android?

Quite a challenge, I must admit. But it is findable.
Thanks. MOD EDIT: I need to reread the site rules!

And how often you will verify the TASed games?

What exactly does the circle button (draw weapon)? Just an animation? And what is game speed in options?

Agreed with CoolKirby. You'd better use TAS Input for optimization and your movement must look like geometry lines without extra strafing or "reangeling". By the way, knowing the movement mechanics of most 3D Shooters, it is faster to run and strafe at the same time? Jumping? Did you check this?

Great work! Unfortunately, TASing FPShooters is really difficult, so you've already done the big work. It's easier to TAS CoD4 using timescale command (needed to play each map as a developer). This time, you won't spend much time on making the TAS itself, but every map can be improved. A TAS using timescale looks like that (I guess you know about this video): https://youtu.be/sT3GwJnTssE By the way, you've beated him in training room.

Nice run, maybe we'll see the SegaCD version next with more animal beating.
Well, actuaĺly SegaCD run is done, but I know the giant improvement and will redo it again soon. https://youtu.be/8__altBSe-k https://youtu.be/UJBfSBxCujE It was done after watching AVGN's episode about Sega CD. I spent about 4 hours on making it. And as a result, I didn't plan the optimal walkthrough and didn't check the control.

Wow! Hard Relay Cat Mario! I'm sure that this world was tested in Hourglass before uploading the game to the internet. Yes vote! BTW, I'm confused with the paragraph "Addresses". You can run Windows games in Bizhawk?

I tried hard to access to metacafe.com but failed, so I uploaded a temporary encode to youku.com. Can you watch it?
I'll try. Give me a link!
