feos, I know how much you’ve wanted Axiom Verge to be starred. After watching the new movie for it, I definitely think it’s an improvement in entertainment since it uses the teleporter gun less often than the previous movie. So I’ll be suggesting it.

there are plenty of Steam versions of games that work just fine with libTAS, but some Steam games will not work at all. iirc it's almost guaranteed that all DRM-Free games will work more easily than Steam versions.

I unfortunately cant find any entertainment in the movie watching itself.
yes the amount of work required to achieve this is very intense, but the outcome just makes the actual viewing experience obsolete.

Figured it out.
so apparently the option is in the core settings, to do this you have to open the calendar in the initial time setting and click "today" twice.
Doing it for the first time will change the date to be the current real time date, doing it the 2nd time will add the actual time itself, which you can double click to edit the time to anything you want. so you should get this:
now if you need to change actual seconds, you can also edit that into the time by typing somthing like this:
however if you click out of that window, it will appear to have removed the added seconds to the time. however the seconds are still in the sync settings, you just cant see it
if you open the movie file and go into SyncSettings.json, you can see that the seconds are still saved in the movie file:

So I’m dealing with a game that relies on the internal clock of the Sega Saturn. You are able to change the date in the core settings but not the actual time.
I also tried to edit it in the movie’s sync settings but it wont allow me to overwrite that file. Does anyone know how I can change the time without having to do it in the BIOS menu?

I see very little reason as to why “no L+R” should be a separate category, as I cant tell the difference between a run that uses L+R and one that doesn’t.

then I'm going to ask the community again. I want people to actually give me their opinions on this:
Do you think this boss fight should be included in the all bosses tas?
Link to video
Right now this video shows the exact way to set it up, it would require me to change a few time settings to make it slightly shorter but otherwise it would require me to stand in the statue for a minute to get the clip.
other method would be to come back later in the game and do the boss but to enter it from above the statue, but there's no guarentee that it will have a smooth route change.

the inclusion was meant to be more of a "hey look at this silly thing that I can do" thing, but it's turned more into a "you HAVE to include it even if it detracts from entertainment", which is exactly what this setup does.
if people find that setup to be fine then I guess I cant argue against it, it's just boring for me personally.

So I am getting demotivated on working on the all bosses category for this game, and it all has to do with the glitched boss fight of Maria vs Maria.
so I already explained my concern with doing this boss in this post: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=485982#485982
I had hoped that there could be a way to eliminate the time it took to get the statue to move so I can get the clip faster. one method I thought of was to grab a stopwatch subweapon, because the way the other statue in that room opens up is if you activate the watch in that room. while that method does push maria out of bounds, it unfortunately does not act in the same way as the other statue clip does. Instead what happens is maria just falls on the ground instead of falling through the floor.
This leaves me with having to do the clip in the other statue, which I have 2 options for:
1. I do the clip as soon as I enter the clock room for the first time and wait a minute before it moves again
2. revisit the room at a later time but this time, entering the clock room from the top of the statue. because if you're in the way of the statue, it will open up just so you can get through then close back up again. I could time it so this would happen as soon as the statue is about to open again, which would eliminate the wait time to get the clip in. this will require a change in the RTA route as I have no reason to re-visit the area that the statue opens up.
I wanted to make a movie that would entertain not just myself, but others too. But I just cant see this boss fight being anything but entertaining due to the tedious and pace halting setup it requires. and especially now that I'm required to fight that boss, it makes this increasing difficult to want to continue working on this movie.

There’s an unsubmitted Richter all bosses tas by ForgoneMoose that’s 24:16: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S20NJKzNOM8
Even though Maria is slightly slower than Richter (either from actual movements or from extra saturn loading), my guess is it’s somewhere around the same time as Richter.
Also keep in mind Saturn has an extra boss fight that isn’t in the PSX version.

Fighting bosses as Richter/Maria offers absolutely nothing other than an HP Max Up after each fight and the game itself does not have a definition of “all” bosses whatsoever (unlike in [3126] GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance "Maxim, all bosses" by gstick in 05:47.68). In other words, the very idea of “all bosses” is subjective to a certain extent and the least subjective way to define the goal is to fight as many bosses as one can by setting their defeat flags.
If bosses are supposed to drop HP Max Ups after being defeated, but the Maria fight doesn’t drop one, then is she really considered a boss?

ok so I found a way to enter the boss, but there's a few issues I have with it.
to briefly explain the clock room, statues will move every minute, so one minute it will be open, but the next minute it will be closed.
so to clip into the boss's room, you have to let the door close on you and you can get into the hitbox of the statue: https://i.imgur.com/r6QNtFq.png (Maria is behind her health bar)
then once you're in there, you wait another minute for the door to open back up, and that will clip you out of bounds so you can fall into the area.
so already this takes at least a minute of waiting around.
another issue is when you enter the fight, the room will look glitchy if you enter it: https://i.imgur.com/IvfYSVt.png
you can remove this glitch however if you pause the game, load and unload the map, then unpause, but doing this will take about 5 seconds because pausing the game is extremely slow in this version.
the last issue is the cutscene between Maria and Alucard still plays, and it's unskippable unless you start from dirty sram (and iirc saturn sram isnt the best, but that's irrelevant to the point).
here's a video of the actual cutscene being played after the pause trick was used to eliminate the glitchy screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvrFNH3rYAY
the cutscene lasts for 30 seconds.
is it still worth it to do this boss? at this point I really dont see a benefit to fighting Maria other than to halt the run and show a glitch for 2 minutes.
Edit: here's an encode of the actual process of clipping into the Maria fight looks like:
Link to video
Edit2: my concern for including this boss is that it will lessen the entertainment value for the run. if there was a smoother way to enter the boss then I wouldnt be against including it. I think if unintended bosses are possible to fight in movies then it should be up to the author if they're included in the run, I do not think it should be a requirement unless the publication already includes such a fight without it hindering the entertainment value of the run, such as the Julius Vs Julius fight in Aria of Sorrow.
