Sinon y'a un Guide fait par STBM dans cette même section ;).
Sans compter les quelques personnes qui twitchent (voir le post ici); faut pas hésiter à passer des questions, c'est là pour ça^^
D'ailleurs, y'en a un qui ne se cite pas mais qui stream de temps en temps et justement sur GBA c'est grincevent (http://www.twitch.tv/grincevent).

I was wondering if this feature will come with the next version.
It can be very useful for 3D console, I think (in my opinion, seeing 27.32 is more obvious than 0x41da8f5c :p).
I don't know if the ieee754 standard was used or if it's more complicated than I guess (The ugly fixed point 20.12 from Nintendo DS for exemple).

That grab glitch is a well known emulator-only bug. It has been patched in the DK64 version of Mupen as one of the many fixes.
As the new core is based on mupen's, I hope it can be easy to fixed it.

The house warp I'm talking about can be done without the grab glitch though, you clip out of bounds after grabbing the coin.
By doing a long jump, yup that's what I thought too. Yeah, a monkey can do a long jump while in the air and breath under water!
(I've forgotten to check if the console reset is well recorded; feature absolutly required)

I agree with Patashu, RingRush told about House warp (You just have to Out Of Bound the last Barrel, if I'm right); I warp just by jumping and hit the tree at a specific frame; it is definitly impossible on console (and obviously, it is a source of mistakes).
It also occurs with Project 64 1.6.
DK64 is very specially coded. I don't why emulate it is so complicated but one thing is shure, it becomes better year after year. I just want to believe we could work on this soon !

Just another test with a most recent build (4758) :
Link to video
I've notice that the timer is dependent of the lag; in the orange barrel it speeds up when you throw too much orange.
I know it's a usefull tricks for entering factory (for instance) but I didn't know if it's normal for the timer.
I also try to change the graphic plugin (by editing the movie file) and I was surprised the show the movie desync o_O (I'll check it deeper later)
So I'm wondering if a graphic/sound/controller plugin matters (whatever game/emulator used)... and how to chose the right one.

Working on a "Minimalist+ Stealth" run. The idea is to avoid using items (Minimalist), avoid using grappling hook(Minimalist+: Because this item is special, you cannot unequipped it), avoid being spotted by guards (Stealth).
I show the score screen at the end of each level because the HUD in bottom left isn't reliable; if you're spot by an innocent or a beast, it doesn't count for "Ranking".
The main goal is just fun. Hope you enjoy this WIP.

Voici un petit script que j'ai créé et qui fait tout, en gros :p
A savoir que la vidéo d'origine est en 320x240 et que le logo est 1920x1080. Le script merge les avi, crée une vidéo avec le logo, upscale la vidéo d'origine et incruste les sous-titres tout en rncodant en h264, encode l'audio en ogg, on rassemble le tout dans un mkv en synchronisant l'audio et le tour est joué !
NB: Dans un souci de gains de place et de fluidité, je réduit la vidéo à 30fps au lui des 60.

Un excellent éditeur pour les sous-titres en *.ass (en plus, il est gratuit): Aegisub.
Voici ce que ça donne :
Link to videoEDIT 3 Bon j'ai fais un peu de nettoyage, ajouté des couleurs histoire de voir où en est quand le script s'exécute et surtout, regroupé quelques étapes !
En effet, l'upscale, l'encodage en h264 et l'incrustation des sous-titres se fait en même temps.
Mine de rien, ça fait gagner du temps (et de l'espace disque).
Bien évidemment, il y a de l'adaption à faire en fonction de vos besoin; si l'audio est incluse dans l'avi d'orginie par exemple ou encore si vous voulez gagner du temps, vous pourrez opter pour un encodage simple passe et preset ultrafast. Le résultat sera identique mais la video pèsera plus lourd.
Happy encoding

@RingRush: yes that's just some tests. It's obvious that it isn't optimized (and ugly rendering). I think it's possible to safe 2 or 3 seconds in the training zone. I just tried to made something between true tas and "let's play" :p.
I was sure key 6 (I don't know why... maybe Beaver Bother influence me...) open castle but not... I understand better the any% route now^^ !
@Patashu: I hope it can help in some in N64 core dev and to be honest mupen file doesn't exite me a lot... Even if I only make R&D. but i'll test Mupen special build.

Hello here !
I made some tests with an interim build of bizhawk (r4559) this is what I get with the US version:
Link to video
Even if it's still in bêta, it seems to be working not so bad. I didn't get any major desync troubles.
The only point I've to pay attention is with states. Ex:
- I save state 1
- Some inputs
- I save state 2
- Some other inputs
- Back to state 1
- Yet other inputs
- Well, state 2 is better, back to it
This will desync, so you have to restart from state 1.
I've a question about route, I thought about following (No FunkyWeaponGlitch):
Escape training
Fairy (to be able to get rainbow coins)
Crystal Caves
Beat Boss to get key
Creepy Castle
Use the boss fight to deliver Kongs
Buy what is required:
Nothing for DK (to be checked)
Rocket Barrel for Diddy (I think weapon isn't required, to be checked)
Musical instrument for Lanky
Mini Monkey For Tiny (Same as Diddy, I guess weapon isn't required, to be checked)
All 3 skills and weapon for Chunky
Factory
Beat Mad Jack (With DK, for fun)
Hideout Helm early
Key 8
K. Lumpsy
Final Fight
What do you think about? In my opinion, it's faster than the one used currently by runners.
PS: If someone knows some RAM values, it'll be amazing :D

J'ai eu le souci aussi avec Tenchu mais uniquement quand je faisais un "record movie from current state", pas sur un savestate normal.
Du coup, j'entamais mon record avant le chargement du level, ce qui force le jeu à recharger tout.
Si tu as le souci avec un savestate normal, ça veut dire que psxjin merdouille... Il faudrait alors tester sur psx-rr, beaucoup moins "friendly"

I don't insist anymore... The discussion seems to be one way.
I've done my best, he do his best, Riskbreaker Y do his best. I let judges made their work.
I had lots of pleasure in woking on this TAS. That's the most important me.

I've upload the new pjm here.
I've check it. How can I replace the existing on submission?
About subtitle: 107559 frames and 7077 rerecords. Really sorry for the double work :s.

Ooooh OK I see.
Why... did I do that.... ? Well, you'right, it's useless and stupid. Movie can be stopped at frame 107559. I'll make a zip later.
It doesn't change anything crucial but it'll be cleaner.

It's intended, I found usefull to show highscore for in-game times.
Those times are used by speedrunners as the official time (by summing all of them) that's why I show this screen.
Now, if you find it useless, I can truncate the *.pjm file just after last hit against Mei-Oh.
Note that at the end of the staff roll, Level 10 score screen appears...

I don't think it's necessary to delayed. Execpt if I see less than 57 seconds on a real console.
As I already said, the world-record man does not down under 59 seconds. I didn't doubt about Alaktorn done, I doubt about the reliability of rom station's emulator (EPSX I guess)

There is something I found... weird.
I don't explain how he get a so shorter time as a casual player and speedrunner (Sephyross) gets 59 and I think one time 58 seconds (I'll check with him). Note: The speedrun is played on a real version, PS2 slim (fast disc mode).
I'm wondering if emulator used could change something...
Yes, I can admit I could have made something unperfect but definitely, I can't imagine he beats a record of speedrunner who's training for several month (He has just made his 350th try this evening).
This game will be strange for ever, I think... :p

Definitely, yes.
In the worst case (level 2), it equals the record I know all others are beaten.
EDIT: For the moment, the theorical time unassisted (single segment) would be between 11 and 12 minutes.

@Patashu:
In the firsts versions of the level, I take 59 seconds (in-game time) to beat this level. Alaktorn show me a more optimized route. I 've redone this first level later. In the movie I've submitted, the in-game time is 57 seconds.
I suspect it is possible to find some frames, enough to "play" with number round and let the game display 56. But due to the rigidity of this game, it's really something difficult.
