I voted yes initially, but it is slower than a console run on some levels, so I don't think it should be accepted.

Yes yes yes. One of the most entertaining speedruns I have watched in quite a while Didn't understand all of it, but that added to the "WTF" factor.

I was trying to play this in gens for like 10 minutes until I realised it's a SNES run >.> Good run. There were several times when I thought "That's not possible, he should have died!" Nice improvement, yes vote. Ulillillia would be proud.

You know what sucks? Editing a video, encoding 80% done when your PC gets a stop error and restarts. So that's why you didn't see this encode yesterday. Anyway, I edited out elevators, "you got item" parts, doors and the cutscene before crateria. I suggest muting this video because it "jumps" after every door, and start desyncing about 4 minutes in. Sorry :( http://www.mediafire.com/?mfmdde5yndm Oh, amazing TAS by the way.

Great, fast run. I admit I got a little bored toward the end, but not enough to change my vote from a yes.

I'm still waiting for Cardboard (or anyone else, I suppose) to finish a run of Boktai. I even made a complete walkthrough video for it so that people could use it as a "do this, but optimise it" reference. Alas, no go...
If it's not too much trouble, could you link me to the video?

I watch them. Great job. I liked the wobbling. Keep up the good work.

IIRC holding the button (can't remember if it was A or B, I feel stupid now) as if you were continuing should bring you to 1-1. There's also a thing that "fixes" the ROMs, somewhere.

Most of you don't know me, which is probably a good thing. Anyway... http://youtube.com/user/blackdevil4321 I upload video game music, and sometimes glitches and TAS.

Right click on your desktop, and click "properties". in the 'settings' tab, what is the number of bits in the "color quality" menu bar?
It was at "High (24 bit)". I changed it to 16 bit and it works fine now. Probelm solved.

I had Gens on my brother's computer and it worked fine. I got it on my computer and this happens. The screenshot isn't exactly the same as when I'm using the emulator. The game is "moved" to the right and there is a black area on the left. I can't see some of the right side of the screen.

I own Sonic 1 and 2 twice thanks to Sonic Mega Collection. I have Golden Axe for Genesis and Virtual Console. I own LttP twice if you count the GBA version. I have two copies of Metroid Prime because one was free. I may have more Sonic games twice or maybe thrice if you count unlocking them in Sonic Adventure.

I wish I could watch it. The laptop's not here =(. I tried TASing this but I couldn't get the jump in the techno bar or whatever it's called.

I tried downloading the megaupload file and it said I need a codec. I dowload the codec, then download the run again. It turns out I only downloaded the thing to install the codec. I needed to be on an admin account but I was lazy so I watched it on youtube. The BLJ into BitDW was a big WTF moment, wasn't expecting that. The camera in BitDW was better (not that it was bad before). Little things like the hop off the sign made it that mmuch more entertaining. The BLJ out of Bowser 1 was also enexpected. "Why's he stopping? What?" "YYYYYYYYYAHOOOO". Then skipping DDD. I knew it was coming, but I was still surprised. I prefer the diving. "Hoohoo" is a little less annoying than "Yahoo!". Exiting the level was pretty cool, how it made the "enter a level" sound when Mario passes the blue thing. The end wasn't so shocking, but still entertaining. I like the yyyyyyyyyyyahoos (not BLJ, cuz it isn't backwards) at Bowser 2 And 3. Amazing run, easy yes (if I can).

TimeSplitters. More specifically, TimeSplitters 3. The only Doom-like game I've played was Hexen for N64. I just remembered that game a few days ago. Metroid Prime 3.

There is a game I'm sure some of you have heard of (probably from "worst games ever" lists). Big Rigs. When going in reverse, there is no top speed. I know, no glitches to allow infinite speed, but is this a glitch? Certainly a programming error, but so is everything in that game. Thing is, it's 3D.
