The only differences between Easy and Sick is the score needed for some goals and the amount of goals needed to complete a level. Everything else is the same
If I remember correctly, some goals are harder and the requirements for improving your stats are also higher.
You're right for the stats, but the only goals with harder requirements is the score related goals

You need a higher score in certain goals and you need more career points to unlock the next level.
Anyways, new WIP for Boston:

Saves about 2.5 seconds from the previous WIP for Boston. The second half from Ben onwards seems sloppy from a second look, so I'll probably be re-doing it but the route is going to be the same.

It's an issue with the way it's dumped on Windows.
VFW is horribly outdated and can't handle variable framerate content (like video games). We've gotten close with the AV Sync patch, but it's inherently impossible to make something fully workable with VFW.
Now, Linux does not have this issue because it uses FFMPEG as it's dumping backend. FFMPEG can support inserting frames when they appear, unlike VFW where we duplicate the frames.
I've got a work in progress project of making FFMPEG the default dumping backend for Windows as well, which will resolve the issue. There is a PR out there for it on Dolphin, but in it's current state will probably not get merged.

Progress update:
Re-doing the game, Boston was just way too unoptimized.
I've saved 8 frames so far in the menus up to loading Boston. Should be able to shave off at least a few seconds in Boston, and hopefully save some time in Barcelona.

I got the itch to TAS a THPS/THUG game and eventually went with THUG2. Started this morning on Story Mode Easy, as it was the category that the THPS community really wanted to see.
So far I've completed Boston and Barcelona, almost half-way through the game.
My WIP thus far:

Wait, I never actually looked at credits properl-
Oh, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You did that for entertainment you sly, cheeky, person.
FINAL INPUT on Master Hand: 18353 (05:05.88)
FINAL INPUT on Credits: 19452 (05:24.20)
FINAL INPUT to make everyone against each other: 19526 (05:25.43)
What's 19526?
Well, it's an "A" input and what's meant to be there is this but what we got was a "Challenger Approaches" instead for cheeky entertainment.

I hate to be the one that brings this up, but this isn't legit. GIM doesn't work on N64, it only works on emulator because of inaccurate emulation. So this unfortunately can't be accepted on this site.
It can probably be accepted played through Dolphin as the game was officially released as a Wii VC game.

Hey Fog,
Love the encode, but I noticed that the stereo seems to be reversed; listen to the pipe here (preferably with headphones):

Can somebody please can verify if this movie syncs on a recent build?
I'm a bit worried if when I submit the finished TAS, the movie won't sync in any a/v hack or even the latest build.
I'm using 4.0.2 32-bit, because it's the last Dolphin version that I can use.
If you can play it back in 4.0.2 you're fine for using 4.0.2 avsync

Is it how it's supposed to be done?
Language: avisynth
M = 486000000
F = 60
k = 1
N = 525
b = 1
numerator = M / ((k * N + b) * floor(floor( M / F) / N))
video = last.TimecodeFPS("timecodes.txt", fpsnum=numerator, fpsden=1)
audio = WavSource("dspdump0.wav")+WavSource("dspdump1.wav").ResampleAudio(32000)+WavSource("dspdump2.wav")
AudioDub(audio, last)
No matter how I change b, it all sounds totally wrong, it even starts several seconds too late right in the very beginning (so no split error, and even if there is, there's 17 extra frames, not a bunch of seconds).
why are you using that equation? set fpsnum = 60000 and fpsden = 1000 (or just 60 and 1)
