AWESOME. Even if you did get it to go past the start screen, the audio would cut out somewhere. The game is awesome and needs to be TASed (IMO), so it's good that it works. :) Hopefully the sound is much better too. I hate playing Legend of Mana on the current choice, since the audio (mainly for SFX) is crap.
WOW THIS IS AMAZING! I WONDER WHO THE DEVS ARE?!?!
I've looked into the memory addresses of this game with the VBA 23.4, and found x- and y-coordinate addresses, x- and y- subpixels (if I'm correct) and health and magic regen counters. Now, the address for critical hits... this might suck. I haven't progressed with this run much, but might continue it now with the other runs out of the way. EDIT: At the start of the game, at int. 18, one rejuvenation cycle takes 273 frames. +1 rejuv shortened it to 264 frames, and that is where I am at now. Intelligence affects rejuvenation, but apparently not very dramatically. The one level-up int. point I put on my character earlier in the run had no effect... If you start the game with 15 int., your rejuv cycle takes 283 frames instead. If you start the game with 8 int, it's 293 frames. The effect might increase at higher int. levels, or there may be some breakpoints to int. affecting rejuvenation.
I use N-RAGE to do analog joysticks.
