Voting no on grounds of not beating the existing Super Mario Bros. 1 warpless run, playing on an inferior port, using the (E) PAL version when there is an (U) NTSC version available, using a version with pointless translation that is not even English, and lack of informative submission information.

Nope, there's no way to control whether the number of rerecords is edited in movie files. Not that it matters much anyway, since it's just a side number with no real importance.

Are you using an European (E) ROM? If so, turn on "PAL emulation" under config.

Romhacks still have copyrighted content on them, so distributing romhack ROMs is equally illegal as distributing regular, unmodified ROMs.

The .cue file is supposed to come with it. But yeah, you'll have to look for another ROM. I can't help you find one as per the forum rules.

I can't figure out the exact problem, but maybe this is one of the causes:
You lack libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, however, PCSX would show a warning with "can't find libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll", rather than giving the standard "stopped working" warning.
Your ROM lacks a .cue file. Shouldn't be that important, though.
Your ROM itself is faulty. Try another ROM, like the game's (U) version.
EDIT: It's probably the ROM. Your Mega Man X6 (E).bin is 124 MB big, while my Mega Man X6 (U).img is 586 MB big, and all my ROMS are around that size.
Did your download get interrupted? It would explain the missing .cue file.

Possibly, but I don't know if it's possible to do it consecutively from the same wall. (jumping from a wall, in ZXA at least, "un-syncs" the player's pixel position from being able to jump from it)
It may be possible using Model HX and changing around your speed using hovering and/or air dashing.
Edit: ALAKTORN: watch this to see it done in ZXA. Basically it requires perfect pixel positioning giving you a one frame gap to jump from a spike wall.

To me it looks more like you're just a bit too far away from the door. Is it possible to release the ice platform a frame or two later and still land on it?

It restarts the game and, well, plays it. The movie file has SRAM on it with a completed game.
And yes, you need the same rom+emulator to not desynch. Use DeSMuME 0.9.6 with Advanced Bus Timing off to not desync.

I think you'd have more chance if you placed the ice platform on the exact same height as where the regular platform would end up.
Nice Protectos boss battle, by the way.

In Mega Man 6, when you die, the level tileset is not reset and the Blizzardman and Mr. X 1 stages have different tilesets. Ergo, it's not possible to die in one level and then end up in another level without significant graphical glitches.
I'm pretty sure your memory is just playing tricks on you, or you're remembering a dream or something.

If you skip the zipping glitches, Mega Man 2 will already be much closer timewise to the later 4 Mega Man games. Other than that, you can stretch out the times by, for example, getting a game over at the end of a stage. Probably looks messy, but then again, so does 15 minutes of nothingness.
And I still think Rockman 2 with a different route than Mega Man 2 would be a fun idea. :P

Nice, I added some of these to the Mega Man ZX game resources page. If you're going to make another run, try finding X, Y, X speed and Y speed RAM addresses. They'd help with optimizing your run.

It's not rejected yet due to the new ruling that disallows accepting or rejecting movies until three days have passed.

There are only 5 unique enemies that can be destroyed with Mega Man's pea shooter. So yeah, you'll just have to be sure to destroy all hittable enemies at least once.

I do believe for a hard run to obsolete a normal run the hard difficulty needs to be available right from the start.
And the only case where a normal run has been obsoleted by a slower hard run is, as far as I know, Rockman no Constancy normal obsoleted by Rockman no Constancy hard.
