4. Use an emulator that isn't abandoned and actually functions correctly.
You're a coder right? Maybe provide Bizhawk with all the tools that are available only on Gens, an emulator that is not preferred but still perfectly acceptable here, for Sonic runners and I am sure they would be thrilled to do so. You can't really TAS Sonic at the level that these guys are doing these days without these tools.
Part of what's stalling the conversion of the Sonic TAS tools from Gens to BizHawk is, to my understanding at least, that some of their tools are specially built into the fork of Gens that they use. It's definitely not as simple as porting lua scripts between emulators (itself not trivial because pickles)
You know I'm surprised that the lag from the large group of rings in act 1 didn't cause any desyncs.
I don't think you'd be able to do it anyways. Since HHS said entering a special stage prevents you from doing the glitch. I'm pretty sure entering a bonus stage prevents you from doing it as well.
Also Evil Im kinda stuck on HCZ1 on the ring attack with Knuckles again sorry :(
Here is what needs to be done: - You must be playing with Sonic as your main character. - You must start the game from the beginning. - You must not die or enter a special stage during Angel Island Zone. If you're playing as Sonic and Tails, perform these steps: - When you are around X position $41B0, have Tails running behind you and brake with Tails for 5 frames before he falls. - When Robotnik is leaving the screen and you reach position $4680, brake for 2 frames with Tails and start running again. - When you reach position $4700, brake with Tails again for 5 frames. If you're playing as Sonic alone, do this instead: - When you reach position $41E8, brake for 5 frames. - When you reach position $4700, brake for 2 frames. If everything went right, the switch will now mistake itself for Knuckles, and hit itself as soon as it loads. It's also possible to make the bridge explode before the capsule is hit, but this is useless. To proceed to Hydrocity, the score tally must have ended before the switch loads. The main thing you want to accomplish with all this is to make sure that the switch is loaded in slot 6 ($FFB1BC). This is where Knuckles was loaded at the beginning of Act 1. If Tails is with you, slot 5 must also be free, because of an additional object that is created that keeps you from controlling Tails. Check list: - Before you begin, $FFFAA4 should contain the value $B1BC. - When the bomb plane is flying above you, $FFB1BC should contain the value $00050390. - When entering the boss area, $FFB1BC should contain the value $00000000. If playing as Sonic and Tails, $FFB172 should also contain the value $00000000. I'd be interested in knowing what happened earlier in the stage, because you've somehow managed it without doing anything special at position $4680 and $4700.
EDIT: Is there a reason I shouldn't be using there C button?
Edit: I will be a little busy this week until friday, maybe you want to try a testrun in AIZ 2? To save time, so I can see if you testrun need small improvements or directly paste your input into the movie
Try to do your best ;)
Edit 2: Sorry I forgot the gmv and savestate, here is.
GMV file
Ring-attack savestate
I recommend you start AIZ2 at frame 9300, don't worry if you can't perform the transition glitch at the end, I can do it.
And... put this sound setting as seen in the image below to avoid desyncs and distorted sounds
I'll be busy this week, I think that from Friday I can be able to redo AIZ
Well here's my Sandopolis 1 route in the form of a tas.
Route Sandopolis? I assume you mean both acts..
What are the chances that ICZ2 will end up being the most broken level in the whole run?
just a question: no tricks are banned in this?
