Yah, the ending is a non-event because its a 2-player race and the 2nd player hasn't finished yet.
Can I finish the 2nd player and splice in whatever ending happens then?
Ending (or better, next map) happens after more than 5 minutes after race was started (of course, if 2nd Player never moved his controller). Then we have points for race screen, total points score screen and next race "loading" screen.

The video must start at the beginning of the input file (normally console start-up) and
The .smv starts from a save state.
Is that part ok, or does the missing input need to be added?
It's a movie from 2004, so don't bother, because at the time it can just start from snapshot, where examples were on EVERY Famtasia movies. That was a problem, so later it was changed to do it only from power-up (no SRAM, but there are examples, like [1607] GB Super Mario Land "hard mode" by MUGG in 12:14.77).

Instead of writing it myself, let me copy from IRC chat:
<Patryk1023> now I know that Arkanoid - Doh It Again has 99 rounds, not 100!
<Patryk1023> it ends with Doh
<Patryk1023> I managed myself to use pass to skip whole game to round 99 and fight the boss, results are here: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1948941482/ARKANOIDSNESPASS.smv

Somewhat in 2007 or 2008 looked at random YouTube videos. I found TASes from games SM64 or SMB on webnations' channel. In 2009 looked up here 1st time, but only in 2011 I joined up this community.

Today I found (with help via IRC) some usefull values to the game.
That values are:
7E044F (1-byte) and 7E044E (2-bytes): both are the paddle position from 16 to -113 (starting position is always 32)
7E0457 (1-byte) and 7E0456 (2-bytes): both are the paddle speed, which contains 2, 4 and 8 (both plus and minus, 1-byte) or 512, 1024 and 2048 (both plus and minus, 2-bytes).
If I'll get more usefull values, I'll do the edit of this post. :)
Thanks to Ilari, natt and Lil_Gecko for help.

Hello poptart1234.
I think your TAS is not needed here.
Even I (not a good TASer, but still) improved your run for ALMOST 1k frames (23.8 seconds) using must less work in this (made just in 10 minutes using only 59 rerecords).
Watching your run is much... umm... worse, because it doesn't use (JU) version, only (J), which I've currently don't have. You can actually read the file you were using to made TAS. Watch my run in (JU) version (Japan and USA). Voting NO for such a big diffrence and not good ROM (for me) used.

this is as of nitrogenesis' rating.
As of Nach's...? Damn it, I have no guns, so IDK that.

My new TAS chip'n'dale 2. Overtaken goofydylan8'a. Basically, the idea of passing was to take a smaller number of icons (points), which at the end of each level slowed (if counting) So they had to run some non-standard ways, such as the level of 1-1. Also used the system "of injury" in order to speed up again. For example in the second level of an injury to the fish, not to take the badges. At level 6 was damaged on the nail (took the idea from goofydylan8'a), not to wait for the lift. And further, do not zhdav next lift was able to jump on him from a distance. (Even a little chip out of the screen).
At this time, manipulation of the bosses was more successful, such as level 4 (Boss ghost) was obtained almost every turn to pick 2 balls. At the 7th level before the boss cat-bit gambler stopped and lost a number of personnel to better smanipulirovat of the boss.
Possible improvements: a boss level, level 4 can go for about 0.4 seconds faster.
Many thanks for RUS>ENG translation. :D
