That works perfectly then in my opinion. Does snes9x allow different layers to be turned off like FCEUX? Or Gens as well? If so then that could solve the problem as you just demonstrated.
Nice movies, I like them. Will you try the same for SNES? I tested that...
That was pretty good! And yes I do plan on trying other systems like SNES, but wanted to get the background images as well. The parallax scrolling makes it a bit more difficult as you could tell. Sonic 3 would be really cool to try I think.
Have you considered symphony of the night? That might be nuts :)
SotN's map actually doesn't look very interesting when you can see more than one screen at a time. Most of the rooms are well-separated from each other, and when they do come close, there's often gapping that gets "fixed" by lengthening screen transitions.
Hmm...seems there isn't an Atlas map for Super Metroid. A pity, that.
Hey, I love your work and have an idea for the Super Mario Bros. movie.
Couldn't you merge the levels 1 to 3 of a world?
Here is an example of what I mean - I know it is not suitable for that yet!

Yes absolutely! I have actually been waiting to do this with a complete run after I get a few popular games atlas'd first. So I wouldn't just stop on world 1-3... I'd try and do it through 8-4 as one giant image. For the castle levels I would either do a zoom-in effect on the door or maybe a 180 degrees spin on z-axis. Something like that anyways.
Not exactly sure if I'll try this with Mario 1 first though... I'd also like to try this with the first Zelda too. Of course when it takes 4 hours for about 1 minute of footage... it gets pretty tedious.
Zelda II: Great Palace

I took extra effort to display environmental changes even after video scrolls past. Now all that is left are enemy animations off-screen *gulp*
Wow, it's cool that a site has written an article on this:
http://gamez.itmedia.co.jp/games/articles/1007/28/news075.html
It's in Japanese... The article's title is, "What's this?! Video of Famicom game played super zoomed out" and the next heading is something like "A video walkthrough? Or a new kind of art?"
Yeah I saw that! Got a good 20K+ views from there in a single day on the SMB1 video... I was also linked to from Kotaku.jp
I have used this TAS, mashed it up with Atlas Maps, and combined all levels onto a single 1080p video!
All levels have been synced to cross the finish line at the same time... Marble Madness indeed ;)
