Yay! Nice work! Really interesting new glitches too, that wall glitch is super useful. Parrot skip is nice as well, always cool to be able to skip autoscroller sections, even though I don't really understand how it works. Would it not theoretically be possible on any level with vines?

It wastes time because at the end of that shortcut there's an unavoidable bonus stage bug and even instantly failing the bonus stage takes longer than just going the regular route

Hi! I've been casually speedrunning SNES Jungle Book on and off for a while, so it was really cool to see someone do a TAS of it :) There are actually some levels that can be improved, though: Kaa stage: At the start, you can use the monkey to boost yourself up, avoiding the part where you have to bounce on the branch for like three times (http://youtu.be/Y5L5_mmBv-0) Louie 1: Not sure whether this is actually faster, but I took an entirely different route (http://youtu.be/D-Cxp9y_thg) (Don't judge the route by the time I got here, these are just videos I did to document my routes and they are obviousy far from optimized) Level 5: If you keep spamming bananas while falling your fall speed wont slow down Level 6: This level can actually be done a lot faster (http://youtu.be/GWgwvdEoxhY) Shere Khan: Don't have a video of this but at the very end you can jump directly onto the boss platform from the tree (instead of jumping up to the little clouds)[/url]

Hi everyone, I'm new to BizHawk and trying to record a movie for The Jungle Book on SNES, but when I try to record a movie with the "Record from now" option, it gives me this error: System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Über das Ende des Streams hinaus kann nicht gelesen werden. bei System.IO.BinaryReader.FillBuffer(Int32 numBytes) bei System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadBoolean() bei BizHawk.Emulation.Consoles.Nintendo.SNES.LibsnesCore.LoadStateBinary(BinaryReader reader) bei BizHawk.Emulation.Consoles.Nintendo.SNES.LibsnesCore.LoadStateText(TextReader reader) bei BizHawk.MultiClient.MainForm.LoadStateFile(String path, String name, Boolean fromLua) bei BizHawk.MultiClient.MainForm.StartNewMovie(Movie m, Boolean record) bei BizHawk.MultiClient.RecordMovie.OK_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) bei System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) bei System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) bei System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) bei System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) bei System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) bei System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) It gives me the option to proceed, but when I do, nothing happens. Also, when I record a movie from power-on, it starts recording and I can stop and save the movie, but when I try to load a save state after that, BizHawk crashes with a similar error message. I'm not even sure whether this is a bug or I'm just doing something wrong, I couldn't find anything regarding an error like this though. I have the prereqs and .NET Framework 4.0 installed.

Noob question: After you visit the water palace for the first time, why can you use the cannon travel to Gaia's Navel? Usually it still only allows you to travel to the water palace at that point? OK, it's a version issue (it was fixed in 1.1, same for the item selling glitch apparently)
