I agree with nitsuja. At least half the games released were insults to everyone's intelligence.

The NES version is boring. Maybe on Arcade but not NES one.

Is it possible to have a better nickname than 82-35-43?

As far as I know, only the "thumbs up" is affected. Ex. If I do 4 frames faster and still have the "thumbs up" appear at same frame, the screen still starts scrolling 4 frames faster. In fact, that's what happened with my 1st enemy group. But maybe there's some places where it can be useful. More testings is needed.

Don't use "thumbs up" as reference, there's a frame rule with them. Check the 1st frame when the screen starts to move.

title screen = 4 frames improvement (Yes, I am including the mission 1 screen) 1st enemy= 45 frames improvement 2nd enemy= 5 frames improvement overall= 54 frames faster I wonder how you manage to do 29 frames faster at 2nd enemy group!? I've tried new strategies and it's slower. Yes, I am working on this game now.

I don't think it is possible to do the title screen in 9 frames. In my famtasia movie, it lasts 28 frames. It could be to start from reset instead of power on. Double Dragon is like MTPO. When you use soft reset, it skips the intro. And even so, I've just tried it with soft reset and it doesn't give 20 frames faster. Only 11 (14 due to some frame rule like in SMB).

I would prefer 1944 on Arcade but there's no good Arcade emu with rerecord.

I my test run of mission 1, I was up 20 frames on the 1st enemy group and another 15 for the 2nd, so there is definately room for improvement overall.

Also 2nd enemy group I gained 29 frames next 2 groups I lost frames but it was just a test run.

The way I read it, ADelikat first saved 20 frames on the title screen, then 20 frames on the first group, then 29 more frames on the second group before starting to lose some. So 20+20+29=69.
Well, if that's the case, it isn't a test run since he did improve the 2nd enemy group by 14 frames and decided to keep his first enemy group like it is now.

Well, what do you mean? 29 frames overall or 20+29=49 frames faster overall?

After the 1st enemy group, I am 40 frames faster and it's just a test. Using FCEU really makes the difference.

I don't see why I have to update stuff all the time. Can't a program be good for something for more than a month?
I'd suggest you to sell your PC because all needs to be updated. Especially Windows OS.

The problem with people, they always forget to upgrade their player and codecs.

1st place: in the cave of mission 3 where the BLUE stalagtites fall. By jumping off the ledge before it starts scolling you will die, but appear at the bottom next to where the abobo appears. My rough calculations showed that this was about 300 frames faster.
I already thought about this one ...
