The first thing I did was building a simulator, which turned out to be able to simulate ~500000 battle rounds per second.
So your playing at hardest level instead of playing at easy level?
Most enemies will run right towards you, no matter how much you are firing at them (although there are some exceptions to this).
The Peace Keepers is also kinda interesting due to the character variety and huge number of different routes.
The Effort-Acknowledgement Disproportionation Theorem - The more effort a poster feels he has put into a post, the less likely it is to be read by the people he wants it read by. Conversely, if the poster puts little effort into the post, this will be the time when people are most likely to read it.
The Rolling Bandwagon Effect (also known as Euphrates’ Cancer) - In a forum or website with favoritism voting, a person/item with negative points will continue going down even if there's nothing wrong with them/it, and a person/item with extremely high points will keep going up for the same non-existent reasons.
you should watch this, it's the best SNES game, you should try it! *edit : guess I should mention I usually play with a lot of savestates and I go power-level in the forest, get every item thats possible to get (even those near-impossible ones)
I'm getting un-rusty :) My entire first half of this (pre-100 lines) was horrible.
I am currently at the first boss. I am wondering what would be the fastest way to kill him. When he is on fire my bombs explode as soon as they touch him but i think hitting him while there is a counter over his head kills him faster. If anyone has an idea please tell. I will find out eventually but i like having other people's opinion.
I'm not sure if you understood what I meant, but the idea would be to recreate the enemy AI in your own program, so you wouldn't need to use the emulator at all. This custom AI would be faster for bruteforcing purposes since it doesn't calculate useless things like graphics, sound etc.
Not really sure if this is accurate, but SNES9x seems to indicate that I get about 59 FPS for NTSC games and around 49 for PAL. (Running a P4@3GHz w/2GB RAM & Radeon 9200SE@128MB)
I think your best bet would be to actually dissamble the rom and try to simulate the game. This would make programming much more easy and of course faster.
What sorts of framerates do you guys get? [in Snes9x]
enough babbling, here's Super Metroid 99% in 1:59. Now I wonder if anyone will watch 2h40 of mediocre playing..
