20 seems to blink faster, but the frame rate seems too low otherwise. Without an advanced method as presented by moozooh, 24 seems like a happy medium for games with 30Hz-blinking graphics. Thanks for the demo, Mister Epic.

Yes, that's a great idea, moozooh. I consider that the optimal workaround for YouTube's failure to provide 60fps video, especially with the opacity fluctuation. Can you produce a sample script?

To prevent further time-wasting like Flygon went through,

09:32:54 <LexSfX> Flygon: weird. the one i said ran at 34 fps (a number i got from fraps' overlay before) reports only 30 fps in its video info[ (right-click the video on YouTube -> Show Video Info)], debunking my claim completely
So, ignore my previous post in this thread.

Why not use ~34 fps oslt? YouTube seems to run higher than 30 fps for the 50 fps video(s) I've uploaded. Edit: This has been found to be false. It's just flash player being crazy.

Even with Blaze and STAB, Ember would not be as powerful as Rock Smash on Roark's Pokémon (Geodude, Onix, and Cranidos; all rock types). Edit: Oh, unless their super-low SpD stats affect things that much. Onix has 160 base D but only 45 base SpD. Geodude's in the same situation. Cranidos is a weakling defense-wise either way, though.

In my opinion, since command line arguments are technically input, they should be included in the input movie format and have a separate box in the GUI so they remain even if you browse for another exe file.

Agreed with Mothrayas.

I'm sure Sonikkustar knows the game. He was clearly just trolling/joking.

Do it. I'd love to see an unassisted run. The later levels look quite tricky.

You can get Rock Smash for free in the cave before Roark. Is getting Hidden Power necessary? Sure, you might not OHKO all of Roark's Pokémon, but if you avoid getting Hidden Power, you skip 2 trainers. I think GoddessMaria might be trying this. Chimchar's ability is Blaze. That could be made use of throughout the game.

I disagree with DarkKobold's ruling. "any% small only" is a far clearer goal than the "max% small only". "As many exits as possible without powerups" isn't 100% in this game, making it more questionable than the directly-to-the-end run. Also, ruling based on the number of current published categories is nonsensical to me.

Although I also sit in Kuwaga's biased (possibly-minority) group of people who've played this game extensively in their youth, I agree with him.

Ah, nicely explained. Thanks for the clarification, Dacicus.

According to Wikipedia, "Oh No! More Lemmings" isn't a Windows game.
Wikipedia wrote:
The Amiga version was ported to DOS, Atari ST, SAM Coupé, Apple Macintosh and Acorn Archimedes either as data disk or standalone game. The levels were also made available for Windows, Game Boy Color and Sony PlayStation, included with their versions of Lemmings."
So, according to Wikipedia, the levels are in the Windows Lemmings already.

Ohhhhh, I misinterpreted your previous post. I thought you thought I was talking about the Team Rocket member he escapes from. Now I understand what you're saying. My mistake.

No, the LASS with the level 11 Oddish and Bellsprout. She was skipped on the first pass, then fought on the second pass. Skipping her without fighting her takes several extra steps. If she was fought on the first pass, she could be passed with much fewer steps on the second pass.

Although the entire run is amazing, I noticed you could have fought the trainer you skipped in Mt. Moon on your first pass to save time walking on your second pass. This is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just wanted to point it out.

Funnyhair, you just need the latest version of ffdshow, ffmpeg, coreavc, or vlc player (one of the former 3 in combination with a video player like media player classic - home cinema or windows media player).

LOL. This is hilarious. That guy is the most epic video game character I've EVER SEEN. Better not fuck with him or he'll run at you at full speed. He'll obliterate your door. Spears are too weak to even tickle. He's immune to spikes. Fuck drowning. He just teleports instead. He doesn't relent. He doesn't tire. He's like a Nazi eskimo. "Nazi eskimo fires his own spawn in an attempt to dislodge the penguins from Nazi Eskimo's igloo home!" "All nazi eskimos are stone faced badasses that do not feel fear, pain, or compassion."

I'm currently working on the official encodes. I'll do anything to make sure it has sound in it. Sorry, but I give up.
If you get me the soundless encode, I can provide for the audio... if it's important enough to bother.
I already did it. See a few posts above.

I'll try and record a video if the problem persists (fraps any good?)
If you enable "Monitor Aero desktop (DWM)" and you have Aero enabled, Fraps can record anything on your screen. If your hard drive is fast enough, you can record at 60 fps and the video will show exactly what you saw during the recording. As long as both you and the viewer don't think that's overkill (performance/encode/upload/download-time-wise), it's the clearest way to explain what's going on. To avoid overkill, disabling "Monitor Aero desktop (DWM)" will cause Fraps to record just VBA, assuming it uses DirectX or OpenGL.

By "recording", do you mean recording an input file or recording an avi? If you're recording an input file, the frame rate changing doesn't make sense, since you're likely in frame advance mode, where the rate of frame advancement is completely manual. If you're recording an avi, then it's likely due to a combination of encoder processing and hard drive write speed, which are both not always constant due to various external factors.

The site owner(s) should read the bill itself (as handily linked by Toothache) to determine whether it's actually a threat to the site or not. To me, it seems like things will be the same as they are now, with what we're doing technically being illegal but nobody complaining because they actually like the free advertising and entertainment. Edit: Toothache: Ha, didn't see your post before I finished writing mine.
