and does so in barely more than half the time of the last run in the same category.
I realize you just copy/pasted from the prior run of this category, but that obviously no longer applies to this run, since it's only 1 minute faster rather than 2 hours faster.

Apparently Kiwi Farms, the site that apparently bullied Near to the point of suicide, has finally been blocked by Cloudflare. Per Cloudflare's Blog:
We have blocked Kiwifarms. Visitors to any of the Kiwifarms sites that use any of Cloudflare's services will see a Cloudflare block page and a link to this post. Kiwifarms may move their sites to other providers and, in doing so, come back online, but we have taken steps to block their content from being accessed through our infrastructure. This is an extraordinary decision for us to make and, given Cloudflare's role as an Internet infrastructure provider, a dangerous one that we are not comfortable with. However, the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site and specific, targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike we have previously seen from Kiwifarms or any other customer before.
Source: https://blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-blocked/ While it doesn't make up for their death, and it's even further from justice, it's definitely a small step in the right direction to make sure people like Near aren't hurt by groups like Kiwi Farms.

The movement in Stage 4 was absolutely sick. ...I still need to go finish Stage 4 Mirrored...

OK, through Act V, everything seems standard. *Watches Act VI* WTF? Yes vote, and a mop to clean up the splatter from my head exploding trying to understand how the Act VI stuff worked.

Looks like it happens to only GB/GBC/SGB and NES on their Standard and All categories. Stars and Moon on those two systems are fine. I checked all of the "All" categories on all systems on the page and the rest loaded fine. Edit: Now fixed. Tested all 4 and they all load now.

Tried out the demo site. If I try to pull up, say the NES Moons category, things load fine. If I try the NES All category, site breaks with an Internal Server Error message. (And as I type this, now I get a 503 error. I seemed to have pulled a PJ on the demo site.)

Voting yes for the run and allowing an exception for the use of a hack to allow starting the game as Zero.

Haven't been on the forum in a long time, but popped in when I saw this on my YouTube feed. Congrats on beating my old run. I was most impressed with the usage of the vertical screen wrap added in Stage 2, as well as the final room prior to Alucard in Stage 4. Oh, and skipping the entire mini boss fight in Stage 6. I had considered doing more usage of burning mode along with how to incorporate more death abuse into it, but never really had the time to deal with it. Glad to see somebody else looked into it and improved the run. Great job. Definitely a worthy submission to the site.

Question. Is it impossible to zip out of the boss refight rooms immediately? Do you have to fight them to load up the later rooms or something?

Watching the crazy movements to get through so quickly was fun. Nice job. YES vote.

Anybody know what causes this? Running Dolphin 5.0.
I'm not a user of dolphin, but maybe it's due to a bad configuration. Try the config' of author's submission texte. Maybe it's solution.
Yep, because Nunchuck wasn't set to be plugged in, that was the problem. Thanks. Now that I can watch the run, fantastic work. Loved the invincibility glitch. Voting yes.

Voting yes on the run, though I feel the category should just be "Cornell" and remove the secondary part as it's not necessary.

The save data isn't the problem for older games, but the battery that maintains them. Games that didn't use them (like Final Fantasy, for instance) the save will last forever, while ones like Pokemon (which did in 1st and 2nd Gen) die in ~12 years or so.

And this kids is why you always are careful about over/underflows with your variables.

I was wondering when a run featuring this glitch would show up on here. Too bad it's the English version. :( (Yes I read that it doesn't work correctly on the Japanese one.)

I could get the save data file to work, but the run desyncs at the tutorial. And with the provided encode site being pretty bad, can't watch. Anybody else have good luck?
