Update: I tested running this game on Octoshock (PSXHawk). It went through the Merlin/first clock cutscene as well as the end-of-stage scenes with Merlin with no problems, so I'm assuming it will work for the rest of the game as well. Looks like TASing this game will finally be possible.

Thank you for the answer. Here's the next question:
Our team members have produced multiple awesome submissions that are not Metal Force. How many extra points do we get?
For the scope of the contest, it depends on the quality of the submissions. If they're not good enough, then you get 0 points. If they are of good quality, then depending on quality your extra points may vary anywhere between "nope" and "zero".
I hope this is a satisfactory answer.

feos: Thus hack's run could potentially be obsoleted by a run of some other NES Aladdin bootleg, if the latter is liked more.
Uh, what? This is not a hack. I don't see how it makes sense to obsolete a run of this game with (hypothetical) runs of other games.
Are you applying hack rules to unlicensed game rules again? Those still are two completely different things. You can't just take a rule that applies to one and apply it to the other. I thought you learned this last time.
(Note: I do agree with the overall decision of this judgment (accept to Moons). But it's the rationale behind the judgment that is iffy, again.)
EDIT: I suppose it's up to debate how to handle multiple similar bootleg games for publication, but it's still wrong to class it as a hack in the judgment notes when it is not a hack.

I ordered it (along with Effective C++) a few minutes ago. Sounds like these books will be good to have. Good resources to learn better C++ programming from are always nice (if you're a C++ programmer, obviously).

Model a (the minigame) is a minigame separate from the main game. Model a (the transformation) is obtained only by starting a new game with all medals already obtained (this run neither starts from SRAM nor collects the medals, so model a is not obtained or unlocked).

What makes you think the first mission needs to be completed to finish the game?
How about the fact that even if it wasn't, there still is a competition to clear all missions, which means you would have to complete the first mission anyway to compete in that?

Let me try to get straight what the deals are with this run (please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere):
This run is really a showcase of a bot that clears the game from any RAM and SRAM state, although the run itself is of the game being run from cleared RAM state (matching FCEUX' default "cleared RAM" state) and erased SRAM state (so that the run would sync on emulator, as well as on console after clearing/erasing RAM and SRAM)
This run avoids using resets for console verification purposes. If I am to understand this correctly, it's because the emulator rewrites RAM to its cleared state when resetting, and to console verify, one would have to put in the erase cart to clear RAM every time the game is reset, which takes time. (If there are other reasons resets are avoided, please let me know.)
This raises a few questions for me:
This bot relies on holding A during the first battle, so that it figures out the RNG using the outcomes of that battle. A neat concept, sure, but is it optimal? It seems to me like it would be slower than a (manual) TAS that uses simple RAM watching and/or disassembly to figure out the RNG, without needing to do the first battle like this.
Assuming I'm correct on point 2 above, let's say the emulator is fixed so that it does not reset RAM on power cycle when recording. Would console verification without using the clear cart mid-run for power cycles then possibly work? If not, what else could an emulator do to make reset recording work for console verification (without erase carts or other time-consuming processed)?

The contest has now been underway for 10 days (out of 68 days total).
Teams who would want to work at a consistent pace for the contest should be done with the first mission now.
That said, I'd like to know of each team whether or not they are done with the first mission yet. If not, I'd like to know how far they are at least.
(Teams can talk to me on IRC or send a PM about their progress)
List of teams (strike-through teams I have received word from):
Team 1 - "AAA"Team 2 - "GAS"Team 3 - "MMM"Team 4 - "The Sophisticated League of Nordic Gentlemen"Team 5 (Exonym, Zeupar, TASeditor)Team 6 (fsvgm777, lapogne36, jaysmad)Team 7 - "TNT"Team 8 - "Solar's Random Spike"Team 9 - "Judge, Jury and Executioner"Team 10 (ars4326, dekutony, Samsara)Team 11 (Bobo the King, Personman, Eszik)
EDIT: Every team has contacted me now; it's good to see that I got timely responses from every team, and that the teams are overall making good progress so far. The competition is shaping up nicely so far.

Notability is a subjective matter, so you should never blindly rely on anything any single person says, including me.
I would say you definitely should take what I wrote into consideration though, as well as the reasoning behind it. (This applies to other people's statements as well, of course)

lol,can u use different characters in the run since none cost time?
Yeah. I can just change which character is selected at the start by changing one frame of input, costing no time at all, and all three characters are so completely identical that the run still syncs fine with any one of them.
It's actually pretty funny, as it makes me wonder which character to use for the submission. It really could go either way for any of the three. It would just boil down to personal preference pretty much.
