@GhostSonic: If you're capable of coming to Summer Games Done Quick 2013 or Awesome Games Done Quick 2014 and taking your SNES bot with you, you should look into doing it. Not only would you be able to show a SNES TAS live to thousands of viewers (if you schedule it with Mike Uyama and he approves), there'd be plenty of SNES carts around that you could console verify TASes on for experimentation. I remember that an SGDQ ago a NESBot was brought in by DarkKobold to do a Wizards and Warriors 3 TAS live so there's a precedent for it. https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/board/marathon_discussion.html

Wow, all I can say is - this is really cool! I was half expecting it to turn into a full-blown SMB-samples-only looping soundtrack about half way through, but what we got instead was great. You should try this with SMB3 or Super Mario World :)

Make slotnumber a local starting at 0 initialized outside of the for loop, and add 1 to it every pass through the for loop.

And you posted a 2 year old video here because....?
Maybe because it was relevant to the discussion of 'How do we define 100% for OoT?' - as in 'If you can get more than 20 hearts using glitches, and we allow duping/rba/etc in 100%, does that mean it's not 100% to stop at 20?'

Concrete example of something that loads part of the ending onto screen without actually calling the ending routine http://tasvideos.org/1865M.html
In the case of A Boy And His Blob, though, the game was still going - you could still lose the game and you hadn't lost player control.

I don't think it's a crime to use speedrun tools for other purposes. Our goal not to "speed run it like mad", but make entertaining video to watch. I think TASing is about being like movie producer. We want to show that's some what seems to be impossible is actually doable)
Pretty much this. TASing has a lot of applications, not just going as fast as absolutely possible but playarounds, showing off glitches, showing off idealized real time routes, etc

You can witness this timer corruption in realtime using the Succubus warp glitch (activate Succubus, wait a couple of ticks, activate the special effect of a teleporting dagger into offscreen, zip like mad). The one thing I would really love to see in one of these TASes (and I know it can happen because it has happened to me) is for the game to start off in Soma mode and end in Julius mode. However, I have no information as to where that particular flag is, so I can only dream.
This makes me think that a Dawn of Sorrow playaround has the potential to be ridiculously cool :D

On the topic of the movie ending early: There's a precedent for games ending input as early as possible and still reaching the end, especially when it makes the ending amusing (donkey kong country 1 where your partner lands the final hit for you, super mario world, symphony of the night where the medusa shield does the killing for you, etc). Whether to go for earliest input end or earliest point where the game is finished is a stylistic choice.

If worst comes to worst, there's always 'all souls' for seeing the whole game in play.

Does showing the "The End" picture on screen constitute completing the game?
You may as well ask if talking to Professor Oak without first beating your rival counts as completing the game.

lol @ 03:39.17. I want to know how the in-game timer got corrupted so bad...
The basis of the glitch is, when you reach a room for the first time you write 'visited' into an array that is as large as the map. But if you reach a room that is out of bounds the game writes 'visited' into arbitrary locations in memory, overwriting things like what souls you have, whether Menace has been beaten or not and so on. In game time must be one of them.

You can lose the shield permanently to a Like-Like, unlike other items he collects.

Didn't there use to be a way you could watch nico videos without an account?
Nico video has ALWAYS required an account. You're likely thinking of nicozon, which is a 'proxy' for nicovideo that doesn't require an account.

If you're encoding a video of a bsnes run and it syncs fine on bsnes compatibility core, could you encode on that instead?

Yes, I'm aiming at any%. As the time attack mode is only available when you finish the game once, I'm doing the normal game. One problem is about the puzzle parts. The fastest way do solve them would be to use the mouse, but it is not supported in hourglass.
Since there's no timing elements to the puzzle, could you make a macro of mouse input that solves the puzzle and play it as quickly as the game will read it?

Presumably any%. 100% exists in Braid but there's a point where you have to wait for over two hours, and it'd be hard to make that long a wait entertaining.
Ultra-ultra fast forward mandatory in the encode? ;)

I'd try searching myself, but I don't know where to start looking since Mupen64 doesn't have RAM watch/search built in. I am guessing you know more about that than I do, Cronikeys.
Typically you use Memory Hacking Software ( http://www.memoryhacking.com/index.php ) on the program. The problem is that the memory addresses will change every time you re-open the emulator (because it will dynamically initialize it in a different place), but after finding one easy to find address again (HP is a common one) you can align everything. Then do RachelB's idea of finding addresses that show speed/angle, then searching for memory addresses that stay static holding a value within 1kb of that address.

It's unlikely that it's an emulation issue to move memory addresses around. Perhaps the addresses you're looking for are inconsistent because, now that you can control many different characters (banjo alone, kazooie alone, clockwork kazooies, etc) it now stores information about them dynamically?

Have you considered that speed/direction might be stored as a (normalized?) vector instead of as angle/magnitude?
