In stage 1 (and perhaps in subsequent stages), wouldn't it be better to place the second set of cannons along the shore for cannon balls to have a shorter flight time?
Is there any specific advantages to using the joystick version over the trackball one? (Or is it just because MAMEHawk doesn't seem to have proper trackball support right now?)
Is there any hope for mankind? What if you played with frame advance but no savestates/rewind, could you ever get a deathless run? Or is it too overtuned?
EDIT: I hadn't looked until now, but this problem is mentioned earlier in the thread, with a slight solution.
I'm having troubles syncing this. I played back the verification movie, then the submission movie, but it desyncs at the beginning. What am I doing wrong?
Was that necessary to make spiderman wait for a few seconds at 53:07 (youtube encode) in your TAS?
Is there any public documentation of this by any chance? I couldn't find any mention of it on TCRF. Does the AR code in question hack in the unobtainable item or do something else?
Additionally, in the game's filesystem is a list of all the playable skins, where "PLRROSSG" is Alex Ross Green Goblin (the skin used in the TAS). It's the only one in the list not capable of being unlocked by either beating the game or using an in-game cheat code. There's a value for each skin that says if you have it enabled or not; the AR code simply sets the Ross Goblin skin to always be enabled.
The modding/hacking scene of New Super Mario Bros Wii. similar to that of SMB and SMW, is active or was active at some point from what I saw, just for example. While it's most likely true that games on consoles released from ~2005 onward generally have less hacks/mods than the ones on consoles that came before, this ROM hacking vs RAM hacking thing doesn't correlate with older vs newer consoles that much imo since older consoles probably have more variations of external cheat codes in general as well.
At face value, bowling with a lot of screwing around. So playaround sort of deal going on here, and not true speed. But at curiosity value in terms of what your fastest frame was, it was frame 4 (ignoring 13, frame 8 is your slowest). This makes me ask three questions. 1. Where would this one end up, if a "vanilla" style bowling was submitted which would use theoretically the same "bowling" movement? 2. Would a "vanilla" styled bowling actually be acceptable on the site? It's not like the other rejected titles related to bowling as this is its own thing in a sense. 3. How consistent is the web-slinging that you could copy + paste input forward into other frames (terms of speed)?
Standard bowling would be too boring. Eh, it is just anoter perfect game. This mode is not unlocked from a clean save and accomplished by a cheat. It would be hard to make astandalone bowling that goes for speed that abides the movie rules. This kind of innovation is what TASvideos should have.
I enjoyed this playaround even if it didn't accomplish a ton. The direction changes towards the end were a real highlight. Any additional thoughts?
