>Single Cup (or whatever it is) Oh boi. Issue with this is you should've been aiming to complete the entire game not a single cup? Good first attempt with maybe questionable menuing input. Light Spike of 3500 frames. Also per to the encode to your YouTube account. Which one is it? Cause looking at your account and the corrected input I can't match it.

So for the sake of giving an answer. The error that I was still yet to have with my main system and have been notified by others on them having the same issue as you is due to x264-64bit and the version I have. This isn't the first time (10bit & YouTube) an error like this has happened to me (this case was longer loads than expected and whatever 10bit was doing). Do I know the reason why? No. Since everything else I've published in the past is fine. Do you know the issue? No. 512kb has been switched with my Older system's encode. I'm waiting on feos or fsvgm to pass me a link to the latest version of 64bit (since I'm using the one provided in encoding package) and I'll re-verify it later.

same frame as our suggested screenshot (5-1) from our submission text
Would help to write "Suggested Screen" or "I suggest this screenshot" or "I wish for this screenshot for publication". I just assumed it was a random screenshot. Downloadables: I ain't correcting the 512kb (mp4) as there's an issue on your end not mine. 10bit444 was already corrected. I let a slip go by (fun fact there was 2 errors in the 10bit besides the one you ended up seeing which I corrected beforehand, so I actually do give a damn about downloadables).

There's a bit of information missing. - What core are you using (Basically what console)? - What version of Hawk are you using? - What game are you trying to run?

Oh that's the death I was looking for that I promised to claim 1/2 years ago... Shit. I claimed this. (Someone remind me to split by disks too.) Double shit 100% is coming. Will vote whenever I rewatch it. (Also requesting the subtitles please... oh God I made it worse.) And that's a Yes Vote.

Get the facts straight. It's based of The Great Giana Sisters which itself is a knockoff of Super Mario Bros.. You don't skip the game where where the clone is based on and jump what the original is knocking off. No Vote.

> Top Gear TAS Remake Bordeaux France > 1 player without any explanation as to why. Specifically one level? With your style it's probably best to refurbish over the entire game and actually make it optimal.

One's "Early" Input. The other is Early Ending Input and fastest possible In-Game Time (which TASVideos allows). I'm siding over the Movie that's Publish (and actually gets a time) and not this Submission. Abstained. Heck. Anyone could've trimmed either movie and created their own fastest early input.

Hi Trung. Welcome to TASVideos. Unfortunately your TAS is slower than the currently published movie: [1715] NES Super Mario Bros. "warps" by HappyLee in 04:57.31 Please check the guide in order to improve on your TASing: http://tasvideos.org/TASingGuide.html

RollerCoaster Tycoon deserves a longer test and a higher resolution to show it stress (1024x768): Link to video You'll see it stress later in the video. I do afk at points to make it easier to see the build up. Spoilers: (The gif doesn't represent all the animations since I forced static on the trophy so the gif wouldn't be a hassle to do. Yes I know I could've done 2 images but what's the point?) --- Sheep Dog 'n Wolf (Sheep Raiders) (PS1 Port) runs perfectly fine at 480p, American McGee's Alice runs with tearing and choppiness at 480p (don't touch the video settings only screw with texture details.), Frogger (PS1 Port)... it runs with no music for some reason, Demolition Racer (PS1 Port, WHO THE HELL PRIORITIES FMVs OVER MUSIC?) (PS1 Port) runs fine on highest settings. Speaking of Racing Games: (No music for some reason like Frogger)

I did do a few tests on a select few games*. (Windows 98) Tetris Worlds (PS2 port), The Emperor's New Groove (PS1 port), ^Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit (WHY ARE THE ARROW KEYS TO DRIV-- and I'm on the wall), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (Too new, failed) and attempted Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS1 port) Out of the 4 I randomly chose, Croc failed to actually go anywhere for me. Straight locking up at the title screen before the menu: Also be mindful of your settings. Tetris Worlds Recommended Low Quality settings, even bumping to Medium out of curiosity for that game will force crash PCem. I tested both Tetris Worlds and New Groove with and without a controller (since these are games I play with the controller, even on PC). (PS2, PS4 & X360 Controllers were used) The amount of double input, input drops or incorrect input was insane. (ordered from least to worse) Something like DXWind won't do any of the things I listed just then. I do recommend using it. Just not with a controller inserted unless you can solve whatever I dealt with. ^There are videos that already exist on NfSIII so it was selected as "game that works". *Tested FCEU (Choppy/Fine), ePSXe (30fps) and failed to run anything on RetroArch. --- The Italian Job Fails to boot, Fallout 1 & 2 works, Colin McRae Rally without a hitch. Colin McRae Rally 3 is too new of a game. Guilty Gear X boots, crashes PCem. Here's DOOM btw: (I mean, it's guaranteed to run without issues)

Right. The encode provided is annoying to watch especially with the edits from the author injected in it. So I just straight watched it in emulator. And then we have this:
NO 4th Gear Abuse
You should probably expand on what 4th Gear Abuse is, cause not using something that's potentially major for something long can be a make or break this (like how you chose not to race in Top Gear 3000). TAS is not entertaining at all. Opening input is scattered with mashing, menu input seems correct. So like 2 to 5 frames wrong in opening input but I'm comparing Hawk to Snes9x (corrected to first visible logo).

Right, this is being for how the information was provided within the Judgement message.

The PSX NTSC version of this game is still preferred against the PSX PAL one since the difference would not be major.
Are you sure about that? If the PAL version is able to both catch and pass thanks to the final boss which it can do as the attack phases Count Blood Count makes are roughly 16-17 seconds and being able to avoid 2 attacking phases that's 32-34 seconds of time saved just from Count not attacking alone. We do have an account where PAL is preferred over NTSC, Crash 2. In Crash 2. Crash's Movement is faster on PAL and for the longer runs (any%/100%) the advantage of just Crash's movement alone is able to out-speed NTSC's load times. The only case where NTSC should be used is for "box glitch" due to those load times. However Time Busters isn't Crash 2. It has slower movement compared to the American counterpart. But thankfully, the boss fight is forgiving.
ThunderAxe31 wrote:
Also, if we take in account the difference in framerate, the movie time could even end up longer.
What should be taken is the game difference to NTSC which is ~87% slower, not to framerate which is 83% slower that should only come when gathering the final time. If the TAS was exactly the same it'll become 14116.62 frames and at PAL FPS (~49.765) that'll become 00:00.00 take 32/34 seconds off that time and we'd be something that's 22/24 seconds ahead of NTSC. (In Theory) If you wanted to say the method of finding was wrong and wanted to do it by framerate differences well it'll become 32/34 seconds faster than NTSC. (In Theory) If someone made this in actual practice the numbers would be interesting to know what a fight against Count would be like. lapogne36 wrote to me that it takes 10000 frames to get into Count. 10000/60 = 167secs 10000/50 = 200secs And that the final times would be similar. It's something that should be considered if someone wants to attempt to improve on this in the future as these numbers are down to the wire.

So let me ask you this, how could you not notice and write 46 frame improvement in the description text, when MrWint clearly wrote "saving 45 frames" in his submission text?
Are you trying to ignore the fact that I'm a Publisher/Encoder to Super Mario Bros. not and I repeat not a TASer to the series? I don't TAS this bloody game. I TAS actual garbage games that isn't this cause I expand and not stick to my one-trick pony game. I'd rather not, TAS a game that's already been optimized, and continues to be optimized, cause I'm not a bloody Newbie to TASVideos, like all those newcomers who's first thing they do is TAS Super Mario Bros. (Zelda or Metroid). Do you want me to repeat that another few times on how I'm a Publisher/Encoder not a TASer to Super Mario Bros.? Cause I can do that for you.
HappyLee wrote:
And you're blaming me over this? Why should I be responsible for not noticing the frame off MrWint's movie, since it has nothing to do with the improvements?
Oh, you shall not try and make yourself on top of me after all the shit you gave MrWint. I wrote exactly why I've blamed you over it in that same post you're trying to cover up, and you already know why. It doesn't help that you're cherry-picking posts that you are wanting to read and going further with what sections of that posts you want to read/respond to. Are you actually going to get back to feos' two posts? (Especially, when you offhand acknowledge their existence.) Are you actually going to get back to thecoreyburton's full post? Cause you selectively either chose not to respond to it even though they have grounded points, and selected a single part (last part) of the entire point a person point. (And yes, I just played your game of, but see my other posts for what I actually wrote about it already, cause I already made statements as to why.) How scrutinizing do you want to be HappyLee? Because that was a very illogical edit you made mainly out of spite. Let's not forget you requested for people after cancelling your submission for 2 days, out of pure "weakness" that you were feeling even though this TAS is, and still is dominating in Yes votes. You wanted responses from the Meh/No audiences and you got them. When you got them, you double downed in degrading those who spoke of that who weren't entertained.

Someone else can answer the question of "Is it optimal?" I'm handling the answer for the question "Is there blank input at the end?" Spoilers, yes, yes there is. 447 frames of it. Light Spike.

Oh, let's get on that topic. Why oh why wasn't it pointed out then on MrWint's submission? Instead we had a "discussion" about entertainment of the movie instead. If it was pointed out during the submission in work it would've been adjusted that one frame (wow, one whole frame). This piece of information was never brought up until this submission came up. So let's add that to the pile of questions for specifically HappyLee to explain since he was "discussing" with MrWint that entire time. HappyLee, why didn't you bother actually bringing up that the file axe grab was a frame off? If we knew about this we could've fixed it to the "prefered" ending frame of Super Mario Bros. but no, you hammed it in through majority of the "discussion" on that submission and never brought it up only until your own submission.

Responding to Evil_3D. I mean it's up to him on how he decides. After all on how the submission text explains especially from Mars' point of view is that Lee was the dominant one to do it. Heck look at the comments Lee "presented" on the MrWint TAS. Yeah, you can call the silent No/Meh Vote assholes for being a popular game, but what's good to know about this is that the Senior Judges can actually view who voted what (correct me here if it's all Judges) and can decide on that or run by those silent voices. It is a heavily dominated by Yes votes to which I agree but I also need to state than even with this HappyLee couldn't stand someone's Meh vote when all they wrote for the reasons why was pretty much "echoing Spikestuff" he demanded to know more. There's also only 2 public Meh votes. Is it because Lee himself fears that his movie won't be Star material? So bloody what? Who gives a shit about what tier you get, if you can submit a damn improvement get comments on it and it gets accepted for being an improvement great... But if you're acting like Lee is in this situation by being a Princess not wanting these silent No/Meh votes then fine, that's up to him. I'd rather see someone else who's more competent in getting his submission up, voted on, accepted for improvements and Published then someone who isn't liking how silent votes are being presented.

Oh shit, it's the thing I always wanted to see done, and destroyed. (I don't think you have to end your input at skipping Granny's cutscene, since it loads into credits iirc, but w/e.) Yes is my vote. Love the destruction left behind on this game. Now all that's left is Lost in Time (which Moth has been working on for a long time) and Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf/Sheep Raider. Spike does that mean you're not shotgunning this? Passing this game up? Hell no. Shotgun the Pubs. wishing his upload speed is faster than it is so he can clear his publications (and one claimed) in progress sooner
