Complaint: The TAS uses SGB. You should've TASed this in GBA mode. In terms of load differences playing in not SGB has the advantage. I believe the input can be ported across so I'll see if it can help save anything. TAS is well made so got no complaints on that front from what I've seen so far, just the type of system used. Edit: Due to hand you'll reach a point of lag hell and something needs to be done about that. Estimate is about 10,000 15,000 - 20,000 frames to be saved from switching to SGB to the handheld. This is a straight switch file which retains the solutions but doesn't adjust anything. AND SHOULDN'T BE REPLACING THIS SUBMISSION FILE. (since it will desync at hand) I am currently working with CasualPokePlayer to get ahead of these desync issues. Edit 2: I wrote the wrong estimate number. Adjusted.

Shotgun Pubs. Ok, guess I'll ask this one to whoever judges it. What's the branch going to be? Are we leaving this one blank and branching the 5 minute one or are we branching this one as "warpless" and leaving the 5 minute one as blank?

Does it support USB cable emulation like the closed-sourced Genymotion? How does it perform compared to Genymotion known to be the best Android emulator and MEmu another closed-sourced that matches and outperforms BlueStacks? BlueStacks is also considered as malware with it's always running in the background feature. - Like other software it takes your data and sends it to the devs. However, it hides your option to opt-in or out it never asks your permission. Oh and here's the important part. BlueStacks is closed source.

I'm going to disagree with fsvgm here for a second, I apologize. More can be done to it to make it neater. That amount of spacing makes it out to me that it's not organized. Compared to fsvgm's current logo her spacing is consistent, yours gets away from you. It's a bit of a nitpick I know. Three of my logos (two past, one current) show a style on how you can handle it if you're focus on the multi line like you have. Here's my 2016 Logo, my 2017 Logo and Current (2019). It also showcases that you can go large on your logo with your text (and in the case of my current logo, it does both). I know that fsvgm777 has informed you to make Shovel Knight smaller cause her and I talked about it earlier in private and it's apparent that change was made. But if you're smart with your logo and your text layout you can make him as big as you can. This is an example on what I mean. Do not use this as it's what I whipped up in 30 minutes (and it's 960x720). But you can use it as a template. I also kept your little red text styling on your alias as well. I believe you used the system font, but it didn't show up me for some reason so I had to use another font (VCR OSD Mono). I have specific issues with the font I used, but it was made quickly as an example (specifically the "p" and how it handles spacings).

You have 2 logos in that logo. You're using 4 different fonts. I don't get what's with the galaxy background with the white foreground... --More-so when the PlayStation controller isn't like Cappy. What's up with the white line on the side? Dial it back. Like way back and try again. --- If you want to keep Cappy Stenciled like that with that background May I introduce you to Overlay and Soft Light: Overlay (left) | Soft Light (right) Dark Variant (Overlay shows its weakness here): Overlay (left) | Soft Light (right)

Actually hacked games are allowed, if the romhack is available. However, to use the April Fools SMB submission here it'd be rejected for not being a quality hack. (Besides the fact it's incomplete)

Unfortunately No. It would get rejected. See: #2908: HappyLee's NES Super Mario Bros. "lowest score" in 14:32.80 Yes this is a warps version. However, a warpless submission would receive the same decision.

Ok so this isn't low effort trolling. That's good to know. Answer this for me please. Do you go by Missingno0fficial or Ominous. Secondly. This is an incomplete TAS as it doesn't fight Bowser 3. Upload your movies to userfiles until you actually complete a run.

Imagine only pressing start 3 times (and not optimally either) and consider that submission worthy. You're not helping yourself here. You know that tweet you said that you said you'd improve as a response. What happened? Well the opposite. Now that's if you are Chuta. However if you aren't. This is low level trolling. So how's about you give up. Cause we won't let this down. Edit: You have now changed the video which the author is Ominous. What's up with that huh? Are you attempting to claim someone else's work as your own. (Despite the fact that it's 3 start inputs and nothing else to this input)

Even though it's still processing you would be able to get most of the information this way. The encode is 412x360. Which is not a 4:3 ratio, that would be 480x360. So your encode unfortunately has errors. Anyways. Other issues: Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge. There should be a colon in the place of that dash. The text should be on the game field if possible, which would mean you would have to use the 2 line portion of the script. jmosx36 a question. Is it Jmosx36 or jmosx36. Author field has the lowercase whilst both your logo and your text has it with the uppercase J. I won't write anything about the logo besides the fact the text is not centered as that's a point that a Senior Publisher would have to talk to you about.

~80% of this movie is light speed traveling, which isn't engaging at all to me. I'm voting No on Entertainment.

Sorry but I don't side with someone that has also stated: <Mitjitsu> I can understand BLM protests (as much as I don't think they have a leg to stand on), but they serve no purpose in the likes of the UK and Austrailia <Spikestuff> Mate. You're not Australian. <Spikestuff> Our Aboriginal Culture has been shit state for a long time and it took a long ass time from someone in parliament to apologize about it <Spikestuff> Don't talk about Australia if you don't know about Australia. <Mitjitsu> Common Spikestuff, you get to beat up anyone who isn't Australian 😉 <Spikestuff> Shove off it. <Woops> I'm not Australian. he don't beat me <Blazephlozard> you have no idea how gross what you've said tonight is, Mitjitsu <Spikestuff> I'M AUSTRALIAN-GREEK <CasualPokePlayer> is that bad <Spikestuff> According to Mitjitsu I should be bashing myself up. <Mitjitsu> Blazephlozard: You've merely made bold assumptions and bad interpretations about what I've said. <Spikestuff> You're full of it aren't ya. This post was going to be longer showing what else Mitjitsu has written during this time. But it's just too much crap to sift through and my post would be longer than some people essays on this site.

If you are concerned that it could be rejected due to the game itself just know this. There is leniency to that rule especially due to the fact that this is an Atari 2600 game. The game is treating it by only doing small sections, the ground and the sprites. The game is also only doing small segments and not an entire screen and the use of darker colours helps it a bit. In my opinion it's not that bad, and is very low level. If you really are that concerned feos might be able to help as he was the one who solved the flickering issue due to emulation errors on a Game Boy Color TAS. So he might be able to provide an alternative to view.

Added an encode. Due to the amount of flickering watch it back at 720/1080p as 30fps won't show all the elements of the game.

I need to correct a point that I made on the previous submission that I'll make here.

There are walls where edging is faster compare to others, but it would be better to make sure of it. Just to point out what I mean on certain walls: (bottom left corner) I am concerned about the amount of damage abuse used in this movie as you have great amount of health at certain sections. Similar to last time (only that it's more valid now since fire wand is out of the picture).

- You need to damage abuse more as the game heals you at points on your journey, you need to do this. However, if you take damage boosts your fire wand gets weaker.
The first segment where you're walking on the overworld and blast a hole into that mountain and proceed to get healed says otherwise to what I meant. If fire is important. Then its use is dependent on the section that you're doing then. For the opener that isn't the case, late sure. But at the start of the TAS I disagree.

No those are the DevBuilds for DeSmuME which aren't recommended if a run is completed. The actual list is found here. The reason why 9.9 is the recommended is due to the latest versions having great deal of desync issues. You having desync issues isn't a rare occurrence either but it's less than 9.10 and 9.11. You might need to drop to 9.8 or 9.7.

How about you actually attempt to give them advise instead of pushing them to BizHawk DevBuilds. What if they wanted to create a TAS (which they are) and want to develop most of it before Hawk releases their DS and be able to port it easily (or finish it)? And how about the fact that the DS core is getting updates on upstream meaning that desyncs can occur in the DevBuilds if there's not a stable release. (BizHawk DS is also not approved yet, but that's the least of our problems.)

Artemis Fowl Short Version: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief has a contender of worst adapted book. Long Version: - Artemis Fowl who is known to hate sports can be seen in his opening scene surfing… - Arti is also for some reason is a decent shot and able to do decent combat... - Artemis Fowl is a Villain turned Antihero. Hero in the film, not even going to bother. - Butler only wants to be referred to by his first name in the movie; Domovoi (3rd book). - Butler looks more like someone playing NFL rather than flexible and can outmanoeuvre around you in a fight. - Butler your sister Juliet is now your niece. - Luckily for you Butler you don’t have your first near death experience and get healed by Holly and you put on armour to beat the living shit out of a troll. Instead what happens is the troll lands on top of you and Holly heals you after the battle, not to mention this whole scene was a trainwreck… like the film. - Holly Short your role (first female member of LEPrecon) is no longer important cause Commander Julius Root is now female. -- Not to mention about the rest of LEPrecon… oh we absolutely nuked everything about Holly Short. -- Dinsey known for pushing that agenda in recent films screwed that up big time. - The height of everything undeground is well spacious to where Butler won't be knocking his head on things if he was down there... - Let’s butcher the Holly being imprisoned in the manor. Yay~ *groans*. - Mulch Diggums you're mighty tall for someone that's a dwarf… him also being well a dwarf at a dwarf's height is very important for story reasons... - Hi Opal Koboi… you’re in the second book. Nice to know you’ve also been dragged down here. -- It’s because they adapted the first three books and crammed it into 90 minutes. - D'Arvit was actually adapted. - Jarring Framerates. “Artemis Fowl grinned right back at him and pointed his index finger at the sky. Actually, it was his middle finger.”

This is a good first attempt TAS. However: - You can start the game faster than you did with your waiting (this has been mentioned already, it's worth re-mentioning however). - Running towards the wall where the game corrects you is slower than doing the movement beforehand. - You need to damage abuse more as the game heals you at points on your journey, you need to do this. - Go over your input. ^ This is the RAM address to health is 0x14C5 ^ In your commentary you stated that you did two bosses manually (as in with a joypad, compared to mousing with what I assume was TAStudio). That's fine and all but this becomes a red flag when you mentioned in that same commentary that you didn't go over it to be sure that it's fast.
