Hey guys, I just thought I'd make a comment or two here since this is a game I'm addicted to as well.
1) I don't know if everyone knows but there's another way you can speedrun the game that isn't just a different route. It's somewhat commonly known that there's some weird time-out thing that takes you to level 28. But there's a 5 minute game mode which sort of does the same thing. At the title screen press select 100 times and then up to start game.
2) I'm CERTAIN that there's a faster way to beat the first level... if I ever get around to attempting it myself I will show y'all.
3) I'm in the middle of writing a walkthrough for the game since I don't know of one, but I'm not really as into it anymore. If anyone would love to take it over or give me a hand or something please get in contact with me.
Peace.
BTW LAOS, good to see another OCRemix guy on here. :) (I also have the same name on both boards.) You'll like making videos; I finally decided to do one myself and almost finished but am getting nasty desyncs.
It's a beautiful thing when it happens mate. There's a fella on the OCR boards who shows up on my bro's forum too. Very cool.
Yeah; for all who helped. I appreciate it, I think I've got everything covered now. Now it's just a matter of counting frames and trying... and re-trying... and re-trying to do thing efficiently.
Ok,
I knew the best way to learn was to actually do it. I understand far more now than I did before. Okay; just two more questions:
1) When I try to map the diagonals to certain keys, the down-left and down-right get mapped to the same button even if that's not what I map. Any tips?
2) The frame advance thing is bizarre for recording... anyone have any tips for using it effectively?
Thanks, well, I'm off!

EDIT: Cross off number 2 from that list. "Showing input" and "Not being retarded" helped to fix that. ^^;
EDIT # 2;
Sigh, I'm still not great at this. How do I stop resume a movie correctly? Every time I try it just says the snapshot isn't from the movie and wipes my progress...
Am I supposed to use the 'record from now' feature? Can I resume recording while paused/frame-advancing?
EDIT to-the-moon;
not record from now... record from now = useless for bisqwit's tool-assisted videos.
HELP!>!? :D
EDIT x 1000;
Hey lookie what I found in a locked thread about movie resuming below!
1) Play the movie in NOT read-only mode. Otherwise, load-state just seeks to the save-state position and keeps playing the movie.
OMG! I lose! Look at my embarassing mistakes all over the internet! That must be the problem.
This page was especially helpful. Thank you. I will try to look harder/read up more in the future.
Oh, and as for my n00bishness; I'll make up for it with at least one SNES speedrun video. You'll see.
K, so... so sue me if this is a flame-worthy topic, but new topics tend to be the fastest way to get answers to your questions around any specific forum.
-I'm having a similar psx adapter controller error as was addressed in another thread but it's more complicated than that. The controller I'm using isn't even plugged into to said adapter. I'll try using it with the adapter not plugged in but I expect it won't make a difference.
-Is there an auto-fire/turbo feature in snes9x? Cause if so, I'm not seeing it.
-Should I even use the controller? I mean I could understand it making more sense to try and play tricky sections with your fingers right near the save-state keys, but I find it also harder to play on the keyboard. Should I just adapt?
Have patience with me please. ^^;
EDIT: Okay... I've looked around a little more at what's in the new and enhanced snes9x and I think I've got a few more pressing questions to answer. What will and what will not interrupt a movie recording?
-movie frame advancing?
-slowing down?
-savestate overlapping/switching?
-can I pause or slowdown my gameplay and still have that be recorded normally?
I just KNOW this post reaks of n00bishness and I'm about to get linked to some sort of guide. -_-;
