Glitchy TAS of 2013 Gameboy TAS of 2013 PSX TASer of 2010
Thanks for the comments. I understand that this movie is very different from the published run. In my movie, I can arbitrarily set the trade money to whatever I like, and the CPU makes some poor money decisions, even though it is extremely unlucky. The published run is more definitive, gets to the point, and doesn't need to trade. The published run actually has more luck-manipulation, although it does not manipulate three rolls at once after end of input. I wonder how many Monopoly movies we really need. I am thinking of trying to make a movie that bankrupts multiple CPU players.

I am stuck on MM2. I am on the third Wily stage where the boss is a series of hemicircle guns seperated by barriers that only crashman rockets can get through. But nothing seems to work on the guns themselves. The guns slowly charge and all fire on you super fast bullets making it almost impossible to dodge! How do I beat this?
1. Use "crashman rockets" on all the barriers. 2. Kill Megaman off. 3. Regain "crashman rockets" energy. 4. Shoot the guns with "crashman rockets". The barriers do not respawn unless you game over. If you have trouble with the super fast bullets the guns shoot, mash start and the bullets will go through Megaman without hurting him.

Dash in Down+B would be horrible. Mostly because it's nothing like slide. When you let go, the dashing stops (except in Rockman & Forte). And there is always the double tap option.
In addition, you can't dash-jump with Down+B. Double-tap is awkward. The single-button press is simply the best way.

Whoops, I meant 20 seconds. But I'm confident the time saved will reach 30 seconds.

If you are doing Rockman X2 and you are serious about making a movie worth publishing, I recommend you check the existing Megaman X2 run and the Megaman X Tricks page . If you wish to help us (Graveworm and me) beat the current record, be warned that the current record is 32:23, and it is improvable by at least 30 seconds, and we have done part of it already. That said, I would like to see your run.

Perhaps this would be a better place to post: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4 About your signature, I'm not sure. Some people might have something against graphical signatures.

Stick a space after each !, and the headings will show up properly. By the way, what is wrong with having "mike89" as the author's name? It's your username.

Try reinstalling Windows. There is a thing in Control Panel called Regional and Language Settings (or similar, but I use XP). I don't think it helps.

There isn't even a decent Game Cube emulator yet. Check Zophar's domain: http://www.zophar.net/gc.html

It does, actually. It's a pretty important ROM hack. It has gained media attention, and this warrants encyclopedic inclusion.
It has gained media attention? I did not know that. But how big is the media attention? I hope not too big. Edit: So I checked again and it's not that big. But why does Mario Adventure deserve a page for itself? If Mario Adventure, why not Super Demo World TLC?

Personally, I'm surprised anyone would make a Wikipedia page for Mario Adventure. It doesn't really belong there.

The run is done up to CIA completed (13.5 minutes in): http://www.savefile.com/files/9379380 (The movie goes a bit into Caspian Oil Refinery) ROM: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (U) (M3) [f1].gba I reproduced the bug Acmlm described in his post. There is a point where entering the elevator (not the ones which go from floor to floor) when it times out freezes the alarm timer, but results in loss of control. Instead, entering it one frame later does the trick. It freezes the alarm timer, and allows the player to move around without fear of mission failure by alarm. It is necessary to turn it off later, because certain events require the alarm to be off. The night-vision goggles glitch that prevents camera detection saved a lot of time in two of these levels here. Unfortunately, the NVGs can only be used when the game gives it to you. Near the beginning of CIA, it is possible to break the first long fall. Grabbing the ledge (or anything) breaks lethal fall damage. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the second because there was nothing to grab. Finally, I planned out CIA carefully, trying to get guards to shoot each other (since you don't get a gun for this level) and the cameras to look in their blind spots when I run past. There are very few places where you can afford to set off alarms in this level. Edit: I will post AVIs later. Edit Again: Here are the AVIs by level: T'Bilisi: http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=2526428 Police Station: http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7416498 Defense Ministry: http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=3543480 CIA: http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=1444294

Just a quick question. Have you seen this submission? http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2985 It might help.

The VBA emulator will temporarily patch ROMs if you let it. Have the patch and the ROM in the same directory. After loading the ROM, make sure Emulator -> Automatic IPS patching is on. I'm not sure why it (the patch) makes the game work. If you want to permanently patch anything (or create patches), you can use SnesTool.

Acmlm, nitsuja said that we are using different ROMs. You use "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (U) (M3) [f2].gba" and I use "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (U) (M3) [f1].gba"
nitsuja by PM wrote:
VBA's CRCs aren't as discriminating as they should be, possibly because it's trusting a good one to be stored in the ROM.
Hopefully that solves the problem.

Before you begin making movies, you should read the Rules and Guidelines first. Making movies is not easy. It's not just playing through the game. It's about planning, abusing glitches, and doing things no one would think about doing.

Pokemon Blue/Red and Pokemon Gold/Silver have movies that are published already. You can try to beat them if you have the patience and determination, but please watch them before you try!

Here's the intro patch: http://rapidshare.de/files/27008573/trm-pmeu.ips.html Use this link instead: http://files.filefront.com/trm_pmeuips/;6431881;;/fileinfo.html Put it in the folder with the Pokemon game and set the save to 128K, and it should work. Even though the makers of this patch implied that this patch will only affect trm-pmeu.gba, I found that it will affect all GBA ROMs in the directory.

My settings are set to the following: WinXP, VBA v19.2, 44Hz sound, Automatic save, 64K save, Sync emulation speed, no Real Time Clock, Lag Reduction By the way, I found another glitch where activating the night vision goggles in bright light will prevent the cameras from detecting you. Thus, using the computer to turn off the lights can be skipped, saving a half a minute in Police Station. Thanks for the reply. Edit: Here's a savestate near the beginning. Hope it works for you then: Edit 2: Never mind.

Is it OK if you use Flash 128K before recording? For me, the run doesn't work in Flash 64K. I'm also wondering which intro hack you used, and if it is the same as the one I used for Pokémon Emerald (someone named it "trm-pmeu.ips").

Don't worry about it. Just remember that this is a message board and not a chat room. Some people here insist on using proper English. Anyway, welcome to the forum! Don't listen to the posters who like to make sarcastic (and pointless) posts.
