TASVideos

I would really like the page to be customisable, I'm a rather light-content on dark-background kinda guy; I assume customisations can be kept in a cookie. Worrying about newcomers only would be our concern then. There's also what I discussed with adelikat on IRC once about adjusting the movie list into columns, here's what I thrown together in MSWord: original vs. this

Mario Lemmings! I bet that'd look good in Gradius

If you're not a big fan of SVNs though, it's only Cheat - RAM Search

Well, it was specifically Ridley and the Metroids. Ridley was good because of the awkward ways I had to get the pick-ups because of where I shot the fireballs, it just made the fight more intense. The Metroids were good because of how you're almost firing constantly, you have to shoot many Metroids at the same time, whilst firing at Rinkas; having to get those Rinkas in the right place at the right time; and in the final room where you have to use the Metroids as platforms to get back up the room. The flow of it all is just great, and I know if I do it again it'll be completely different, better perhaps, who knows

PJ Boy, do you think there's a chance that you'd want to team up with someone like cpadolf to finish a 9% run? That kind of run would be amazing, even on Normal mode.

Gee, I dunno. I think I would actually go along with something like that; that would most definitely keep the optimisation levels high, as well as keeping perseverance up. I don't think I'll ever be able to match the boss fights I managed to pull-off in the one I done 3 years ago though

May I suggest a 9% Hard run? I've always been wondering why that hasn't been done yet.

Well, it'd have to be done on the European version, with SRAM from a ready-completed. Also, the Zebetites are the most daunting task I can think of with only 2 missiles, even in TASes; it was there that I quit when making my 9% TAS on normal (with 5 missiles), and that was after Kraid, Ridley, the Metroids, Imago, the Rio Room, and trying to make it optimal and entertaining at the same time. However, looking back at the run, it's one of the most entertaining runs I've ever seen, so many highlights in it, namely those ones I said above, they're bad-ass man

Man, I've not seen not seen a GBA Metroid game TAS'd in a good while, which just made watching this just that much better. My highlights were every boss battle, but especially Imago when you get its Super Missile tank; just plain walking through those frozen pirates; and the clean-up after Kraid, every part of that seemed to get me off guard, I've not played this in too long. It's just a damned shame you missed sub-1-hour, as well as the 220000 frame barrier Couple of suggest screenshots: 1, 2 So are you gonna be working on another Metroid run?

I'd imagine the screen co-ordinates would be of the top-left point of the screen. So you'd wanna centre the current character by subtracting 128 pixels off of the X position of the screen, and 122 pixels off of the Y position of the screen. Also need to remember that the character's position and the camera's position may be in different units. 16-bit read is simply memory.readshort() EDIT: woops, wrote memory.writeshort()
