Slower than this submission: #4394: kusoman's NES All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. in 04:59.62 Which was rejected for being slow and suboptimal. Edit: And incomplete... Whoops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh hell yes with this boy. Classic input is a delight to watch this over the zipzag abuse. Shotgun Publications when accepted. Thank you for just destroying Mukki's TAS.

Turns out this was actually fixed in BizHawk 2.0. Before that, it would just start up looking like that. But this movie was started before 2.0 was a thing, so it wasn't an option at the time either way.
Current Hawk doesn't have these issues you're on about unlike pre-2.0 Hawk. Ya got it down, just like your undeserving No Vote? Yes vote btw, after all it was entertaining.

>Single Game in a massive collection Oh boi. Someone correct me if I'm wrong since I'm using the GBC version as a base on this question. (Yes. There's a 4th on GBC, which many sites don't know about mainly cause it was Australia only iirc, and was basically G&W3 or something.) Isn't there an "Ultra" difficulty that also applies to Retro? Regards to the TAS I'm just voting a straight Meh.

I mean you could just do what Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time did. Have an improvement found whilst in publication hell and never updated/cancelled the submission. Especially if it takes a long time to actually do (considering it's an RPG ontop of that).

I'm shotgunning this beast for publication. Alright. What I do know is that the first two warps were under the "TAStest" branding (well in your case LOTAD, what's with the Pokemon?). (Well first 3 warps, but by Warp 3 it is basically switched from a test to a real thing) I won't question why you didn't make a Notable Improvements suggesting the first two warps could or might be improvable as you did traditional input, not zippa-zag all over the joint. With that said, you did do traditional input, not zipzagging all over the joint so I'm giving this a Yes on the entertainment.

I'm not missing it at all, read my post carefully.
No you're missing the point completely feos, we're stating that you shouldn't physically modify an arcade machine to get what you want out of it. This falsifies the cabinet itself as something that's completely impossible is being done. SNES/NES/PS1/N64 (dpad) etc. all have a free pass for a simple reason. They're not analog controls, this is a stick, represented by an analog movement. The system is being modified in a way where it's literally abusing everything that's not meant to be physically possible. On directional input, it is possible to do U/D and L/R input, there shouldn't be a debate for that, but for something analog there is no bloody way doing that without ripping out the machine and getting into the inside, which is what this TAS is doing.
feos wrote:
And then, this thread: Thread #14051: Debate: allowed or not?.
There's a difference between analog input and directional input. Don't bring up threads that hold literally next to no weight to arcade machines where the main movement is analog, and it's being broken apart. This is a whole different can of worms that you're insisting belongs in the same field when it doesn't. Also I'd rather have the author who actively avoids controversy behind his TASes respond to this rather than someone who is on the outside trying to make it up and save it. Talking about can of worms.

Pressing Down, Right, and Left on the joystick simultaneously
So what you're saying is something completely impossible on an Arcade Machine was used and abused. Now for console games L+R/U+D is possible, insane and not recommended, for Arcade with a stick the max you can do is any diagonal movement. This leaves salt in my mouth for this TAS knowing that the primary movement is something that's not even possible.

Uh... Maria that applies to Snes9x 1.4x and older. Snes9x 1.51 and newer are still acceptable on the site (and those that use it are shunned upon). This TAS was done on 1.54.1 which means it was eligible if it wasn't suboptimal.

dokurokun. Re-read my post. If you don't get a lip of what I meant, read DrD2k9's post which highlights the major part of my post. And if you don't get it I'll quote myself one last time.

There's a lot of users who would be heavily against what you want to do, both past, and present users of TASVideos. Because of this, some users don't actually look at the forums most of the time except for their own topic.

Originally last year (or the year before) I was meant to actually have an encode to be pushed out to replace that one. Issues occurred with the dump... It was only spotted just before it went live. So it never went public. There's another publisher that's actually has this on his todo list to actually smash out a strong encode. Just to point out. (Pretty sure if I remember correctly it's after he publishes N64 Zelda.) As for how to be an encoder well you can have a read of the Encoding Guide.

First let me start with this. This is a known YouTube bug. Last night I did a batch to make public 6 movies. The 6 movies are from the VBoy listed below: [1510] Vboy Virtual Boy Wario Land by adelikat in 19:19.50 [1528] Vboy Virtual Boy Wario Land by adelikat in 18:39.56 [1566] Vboy Virtual Boy Wario Land "best ending" by adelikat in 21:53.28 [1542] Vboy Red Alarm by Ryuto in 14:07.54 [3142] Vboy Nester's Funky Bowling by dekutony in 01:09.26 [3152] Vboy Nester's Funky Bowling by Spikestuff, dekutony in 01:06.79 The lucky last one (bolded) is the one that is visible to subscribers and people viewing the channel. The other five are in limbo. The videos are allegedly deleted. This is a lie if you click one of those "deleted videos" and you'll be transported to the limbo encode. But people who (prepares the gun) Subscribe and use the Bell icon to get push notifications on the newest public video will avoid this issue. (shoots himself) Sometimes this issue resolves itself in an hour to a day to not even showing up on the subscription feed and then suddenly showing up one day on the account. Currently at this time those encodes are have been in limbo for 22 hours. The videos are public it's just that YouTube is so great. You cannot unlist/private the videos and make them public again. It will not work. The solution is two fold. Wait or reencode. The risk with reencoding is that you have a chance to lose another encode. I will be testing in a bit after the 24 hour period by throwing 6 more reencodes up to see if YouTube gobbles it up. I'll keep you posted on that with an edit. And 24hours went by and the 6 other reencodes went live and live it did just that. No bloody issues what-so-ever. Guess we'll have to wait. fsvgm actually speculates that it's an October 31st upload issue (where everything is gone forever) but we'll see in the next coming days/weeks. I mean it took a few months for the 50fps bug to be fixed on the videos that had that bug. After the patch was rolled out. Edit: Welp, I did infact wait. YouTube nuked 'em. GUESS WHAT I HAD IN RESERVES? ALL OF THE RAWS TO THIS.

What about monetization?
No. Hell No. Never ever monetize off of someone's work that they themselves (most of the time) don't profit from. Never ever monetize an encode, which a Publisher/Encoder did, which they don't even profit from. We do it basically as free labor and it's annoying to see our encodes elsewhere being monetized by some greedy bastard. There is literally no point to hosting the TASes on YouTube as TASVideosChannel is the main hub for the movies that we publish/reencode. If you want to do mirrors to encodes that we do, go elsewhere. We don't need people to mirror the same encodes on YouTube it's not needed.

>passwords. And just like that you lost me just like you lost 2023 frames to blank frames at the end. So against the author's 3335 frame movie (when removing the blank input). Here it is done in 2864 frames. No vote, cause password used to get straight to the end of the game.

Felony 11–79 since that's what the title is known outside of Japan/Asia for the first game. Single Level. There are a total of 3 levels. Just 3 in the entire game. DOWN TOWN, SEA SIDE, METRO CITY/PARIS Now you're stating you're using a password, for a better car. I'm going to leave that to an actual judge for that statement. Also for those wondering the TNK he used here's the requirement without the password: Unlocks: After completing the Metro course with NO accumulated damage. I'm voting a heavy No just for the password and being incomplete.

Jesus. Branch explanation. T.T. is the Time Trail course. It's stated as follows by the game (For speed: Left is NTSC-U | Right is NTSC-J) Race: 3 Laps Max Speed 138mph or 220km/h High-Level which is the one below is Race: 3 Laps Max Speed: 125mph or 200km/h Does that mean NTSC-U is faster? #12 refers to the car chosen. > RT Blue Solvalou Triggering the name screen can be brought up sooner, the wait wasn't needed. My issue with this, is that it's not a complete TAS. Just a single stage one again. The game actually has an end goal which is to defeat and unlock the Devil Car. Being a single race instead of a full game I'm giving it a Meh vote. As a suggestion as an encoder, please stop using SCPH-1000 it's ass for us encoders. Upgrade to the recommend SCPH-5500. Also for Ridge Racer isn't it better to do the 1998 release which guns for 60fps? (I forgot there was a release that didn't feature any other games, and was a full one not Arcade style) Just like the other submission before it. Here's an alternate encode from behind the car: Link to video

Bad news for the route you used. It's slower than Tompa's. I completed a heavy spiking of your input a few minutes after you canned it. Getting everything executed correctly for both the starting and ending input which leaves it to just the middle which is your input. There's no contest between the two. You're slower than him by 464 frames. For a first timer I said you did a great job at the challenge, but you didn't beat the Legend. Here's the userfile that absolutely fixes your movie: User movie #43090199916176173

You have some blank input there at the end. I'm just going to assume that you got where you wanted ending input to be in the correct spot and do a Light Spiking cleaning up your input. 456 frames of blank input chopped off from the end: User movie #43089383819739304 You don't have to cancel your submission, a judge will come and update the input file accordingly. I'll look into the ending input later, and provide a temp encode (unless you have one). Edit: Opening input plain bad. You have achieved a faster time than that of Tompa's old TAS. But your execution is way off. I'm refraining from voting, but still going to provide that encode. Edit 2: Ignore that Spiking. The user incorrectly ended their input way too early.
