It's possible to take on Masked Satan twice. The first time is if your exp is <30>180,00 and using no continues.

A 1-player TAS requires you to wait for the on-screen computer racer to finish. We'll probably gonna have to deny the on-screen computer racer from entering the pits so that he'll run out of fuel.

A T-Spin Tetris with the topmost row is impossible. Lilla Oshisaure did a behind-the-scenes demonstration of a T-Spin Triple with the topmost row. I experimented with Game Genie codes and I tweaked the DAS code for the PAL version of Tetris.

I kinda like it, but is it entertaining as much as going fast. I'm gonna give it a yes vote by a very small margin.

Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand This game is fully playable on NO$GBA. I hope we implement light sensor capabilities in the next release of VBANext or mGBA or if somebody would work on GBAHawk.

Cheats with very low compare (1 byte, 0-9) aren't affected and work properly. For cheats with compare integers I use FCEUX for NES cheats, SNES9X for SNES cheats, Project64 for N64 cheats, VBA for GB/GBC/GBA Cheats, Fusion for Master System, Game Gear, and Genesis cheats, and EPSXE for PS1 cheats. NES/GG Game Genie codes without compare, NES/SMS/GG Pro Action Replay codes, and N64/GB/GBC GameShark codes (non-conditional) with compare works. Sometimes I remove the compare values, but if removing compare values causes unintended effects, I remove the cheat causing it. This is mainly for Game Genie codes. As the codes where compares load incorrectly I forgo conditional codes used by GameShark and Codebreaker.

I input NES Game Genie codes, saved them. When it came to loading it, the compare is different somehow. I entered a code as Hex, saved it, loaded it, the compare changed to an unsigned number without displaying it as such. (i.e. B3 displays as 79, not 179) I then entered a code as an unsigned number, saved it, loaded it, the value changed to hex while displaying it as such, but the compare didn't change to hex before displaying as such. I entered 71 as an unsigned value and 83 as an unsigned compare, saved it, loaded it, Value becomes 47 in hex, but compare became hex 83 instead of hex 53 (a value of 131 instead of 83) This is not normal. It needs to be fixed.

Texture filtering apparently crashes N64 games. Never had this problem in the 32-bit compatible version of BizHawk. This needs to be addressed for the new version.

Most optimal route: Level 1 - Go for a triple. Level 2 - Double and Tetris. Level 3 - Back-to-Back Tetris. Level 4 - Back-to-Back Tetris. Level 5 - Triple and Back-to-Back Tetris. Level 6 - 3 Tetrises in a row. Level 7 - Double and 3 Tetrises in a row. Level 8 - 4 Tetrises in a row. Level 9 - Single or T-Spin, then 4 Tetrises in a row. Level 10 - 5 Tetrises in a row. Level 11 - 5 Tetrises in a row. Level 12 - Triple and 5 Tetrises in a row. Level 13 - 6 Tetrises in a row. Level 14 - Double and 6 Tetrises in a row. Level 15 - 7 Tetrises in a row. The European version adds the windows for the next and hold pieces, also it shows a point value for each clear and tells you how much time left in Ultra mode. The in-game font for the HUD is different in the European version. Even St. Basil's Cathedral can be seen in the background in Classic mode and Link mode in that version. Speaking of Link mode, it can only be played with 2 players in the North American version but can be played with up to 4 players in the European version. Apparently Europe has the better version of GBA Tetris Worlds. Version differences and Link mode have nothing to do with speedrunning and the European version adds a few extra frames of input (i.e. the language select as the game starts up)

The 3-part finale is today. Even if it's the end of the show doesn't necessarily mean the fandom would end. The fandom will still keep on going even after the show ended.

You ca'n get any better than this. It's humanely possible for anyone to do it under 16 seconds. Meh.

The Game Boy Color can't accept the first player cable of the 4-player adapter unless you mod it or have a special cable 'cause the first player cable in the 4-player adapter is hardwired into it. Playing 4-player Game Boy games on the Game Boy Advance is simple by using Game Boy Advance link cables. Anyways, emulating 4 GBC systems at once, you always connect in groups of 2 for Pokemon games. Also, don't forget the IR component for things like the Mystery Gift in Pokemon GSC. 4-way connection is for 4-player Game Boy games. The 4-player adapter has been around for nearly 30 years. Having 3 running at the same time with only one link cable is a start, and soon we'll be able to connect all 4 at once.

This is the first step in having more than 2 GB systems running at once. For 3 GB systems, there are 3 link controls: L, C, and R. L links systems 1 and 2, C links systems 2 and 3, and R links systems 1 and 3 For 4 GB systems, there would be four link controls: H, V, D, and A. H links systems horizontally (TL<=>TR | BL<=>BR) V links systems vertically (TL<=>BL | TR<=>BR) D links systems diagonally (TL<=>BR | TR<=>BR ) A links all systems together (4 players) Having 4 GB systems for Pokemon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, we can connect systems in groups of 2 at a time, but not all at once. We can connect all 4 systems at once for games like F-1 Race, Super R.C. Pro-Am, and Yoshi's Cookie. 4 player SGB games uses SNES hardware and the SGB for games like Bomberman GB. 2 player SGB games can be played on SGB or linking 2 GB systems together including Puyo Puyo and Killer Instinct. 2 player GB games with link support and SGB enhancements like Mole Mania and Kirby's Star Stacker requires linking systems for 2 players. This will take time for 4 player connectivity on emulators, and we may be on the way to making it happen.

We could make an "All Possible Items in the First 3-day Cycle" TAS Demo. The possible items include the Lens of Truth, Song of Soaring, and Sonata of Awakening. Can we do the "Ocarina Items" as Deku Link? Obviously we can't play the Song of Soaring without activating an owl statue. We have to explore to open up areas for index warping as usual.

Control stick values are hexadecimal 00 for -128, hexadecimal FF for 127, and hexadecimal 80 for center. The control stick values would probably have to be hexadecimal 1F or -97 for both axes. Link to video

It's impossible to do this on GameCube and Wii Virtual Console 'cause the L Button is mapped to the +Control Pad. Getting to console verify on an actual N64 is a joke. You have to do a frame perfect A press while holding the Control Stick in a precise position. Link to video

There is consideration that we could accept the PAL version as a separate category. An example would be Rygar and Blaster Master in which both have published runs of NTSC and PAL versions. Shadow of the Ninja (or Blue Shadow in Europe) used the PAL version on Famtasia (an NTSC only emulator) until the NTSC version is used on FCEU-RR.

GBHawk has a sound issue in linked mode. Setting the audio selection to left and right works, but setting it to both has no sound. It's supposed to play audio from both Game Boys, but it doesn't. It needs to be fixed. Hopefully by the next nightly build.

We should do a TAS getting 100 on the score. Don't suck up Eddie. Rescue Beat and Rush. Use the Toad spell and spare Toad Man. Get all items except for the Energy Splitter. Reach Chimerabot 3's chamber without dying to fight Super Shadow Man. Clear the escape sequence without dying three times. Visit each robot master stage only once. Avoid getting a game over. Beat the game in under 100 minutes. The ?Dagger is optional as Super Shadow Man is an optional boss. Do it perfectly and you'll unlock the Mechanical Arena.

This glitch exists in the DS version too, and it's that version where you can collect stars even if you're dead. Also, getting a star then landing on the death barrier skips the 100-coin star dialog in the DS version. This isn't viable for speedrunning in general.
