I want to make a thread that gathers currently published TASes of games that are slower compared to RTA world records. This could be useful for those who want to update outdated tases and the such. Also, if a specific reason can be provided as to why these movies are slower, it would be helpful to know. NOTE: this thread will not count movies that don't use faster strats if they are still faster than the world record, only for movies that are slower than the RTA world record. Here's list so far: [318] SNES Kirby Super Star by nitsuja in 41:56.17 7 minutes slower than RTA WR https://www.speedrun.com/kss#Any [1851] N64 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask by MrGrunz in 1:29:32.02 due to outdated tricks and routes. RTA WR. (NOTE: WR was done on WiiVC, so timing or some tricks may not work on original N64) [2076] GB The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening by Bobmario511 in 03:48.55 can be improve with ACE, WR [2180] NES Who Framed Roger Rabbit by tool23 in 05:08.28 due to a slower route. RTA WR [419] SNES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time "1 player" by nitsuja in 18:55.00 a wrong warp using a 2nd player can skip stage 4 and go directly to shredder. [2373] NES The California Raisins: The Grape Escape by MESHUGGAH in 04:51.50 faster route in the first level. WR [2717] NES Silent Assault by MESHUGGAH in 05:26.91 a death warp in the 3rd stage will skip the entirety of the level. WR

Are you also against ppsspp being ported to bizhawk? It wouldn’t make much difference using libtas. Think of libtas like bizhawk in a way.
No I'm not against that. And it makes much more sense to put it into bizhawk rather than libTAS.

I would much rather have ppsspp have it's own stable TASing tools and avi dumping than to basically force it into linux and use an external device.

Bonk's Revenge is the sequel to the first game in the series. I've been noticing some mistakes in the published run so I tried to see if I could improve on it, so far I managed to save 4 seconds in the first world. there might be more time I can save in the first world and I will try to find as much as I can. Here's what I have so far: Link to video

After testing mednafen's saturn core, I noticed somthing strange. when loading clockwork knight 2 into mednafen, I get this start screen: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/280808167993245707/500795386630504458/unknown.png?width=806&height=664 however, when I load the game into bizhawk, I get this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/280808167993245707/500795648170393620/unknown.png it seems that the screens change depending on what time of the year you boot up the game, so bizhawk must have it default to Jan 1st (or maybe a value of 0 which equals to the start of the year.) even though I haven't found any real difference in timing, could something like determine the fate of a submission for this game? and what would be the best screen to use in a situation like this?

So I have been trying to help some lsnes users get accustomed to working with BizHawk, and they have issues with how TAStudio works compared to lsnes's movie editor. So I'm wondering if there's ways to make TAStudio run as similar to lsnes as possible, so lsnes users will have an easier time using BizHawk?

I found a bunch of the minigames fun to watch. unfortunately there's still a bit of games that just are boring to watch, but personally they didnt hinder the overall enjoyment for me. yes vote.

HappyLee, there are specific threads for each game on any system, a place that you can post interesting experiments or projects you want to share involving the game. That is where somthing like this should go. It does not deserve a submission as submissions are ment to potentially end up published by the site. If you want to share your not-for-publication projects, post them in the specific threads, not in submission que.

A way to acknowledge it would be to post it in the SMB game thread, not to make a submission out of it.

I thought that's for "Newest WIPs" as the title says. This experiment is not an WIP but already a full speedrun. It won't bring anyone any pressure to reject this, anyway.
It is for WIPs as well as Lua scripts, and experimental tases like this one.
