Oh I see. I'll get used to it eventually. Thank you very much for your help. I'd recommend updating the guide and adding what you told me so others aren't confused like I was. It doesn't say anything about the A prompt stuff.

Ah ok. Game runs now, thank you so much! Can you control the speed at all? The game runs really slow, which I assume is normal since TAS is never at full speed, but it's like less than 50% speed. Another weird issue is the keys stick, like it'll keep moving to the right as if the button was being held and then it just locks up.

Yay got it to run! Now it says I don't have enough memory lol. I set that when I do the image right? What should I try to set the tracks to? I'm trying to run Wolfenstein 3D.

Well that's good to know. I can change to 'c' but how do I run the game? Typing the image name doesn't do anything, just gives a 'bad command or filename' error. Also, how do you get it to recognize the actual keyboard so I can stop using the virtual one? Or is that not possible?

I'm having an issue with JPC-RR that isn't covered in the guide. I followed the steps to the letter, and when I go to start the game after assembling, I get this: I skipped autoexec.bat like the guide says, and it takes me to an A:\ prompt. Am I doing something wrong?

Cool. I'm not sure if it should be used in the run though as it is kinda toning down the difficulty. Nice find though.

Ok I'll get to work on a playthrough. I'll find out what levels are needed for the parts we're fuzzy on and how much manipulation will be needed/can be done. I'll upload my progress here. The first part will go through Romus. Also, there are lots of hidden items throughout the towns. You can see them on these pages. Nitrodon showed me the first one and I found the second. It seems the only thing worth getting would be the Topaz in the Inn at Zellis. See for yourselves. Actually, upon further investigation there's a M Water and some other equipment that might fetch a nice price when sold. Hidden Items Towns 1 Hidden Items Towns 2

Yeah. Manipulation is definitely the key to this run. We have to be able to make the bosses miss. I know for a fact it's harder than hell to beat FOMA below 30 with no manipulation. The other bosses are hard too. When watching Dromiceius' run even with the manipulation he was doing Pison was still clobbering him. Course an edge-of-your-seat battle like that is really entertaining. But Pison is one of the weakest bosses in the game and if he could deal that much damage, I shudder to think of what the other bosses can do.

With the right tools to do it I would love to try TASing this game too. What is the minimum level you could beat the game at?

Well we know they "level" when you do so they gain exp as you kill enemies. Since they are always stronger it seems they get double the exp you get. Not sure though. But if that's the case why is it whenever you recruit an apprentice they are always at a lower level than you? Does it change when you recruit? And would it change when you change partners? That would completely throw off your Valsu idea, which was a good idea.

That would also explain why they get stronger if you level up. Interesting. And yeah the way to go seems to be to do the leveling in the castle on the way to Romus (both times) to save time, and they are stronger than the outside monsters. You can still manipulate bigger battles, just can't do anything in the battles.

Yes, you get exp and gold when you kill him with the whistle.

Once again this game brings me back to these great forums. I'm glad to see there is still interest in making a run of this. While my expertise of the game is great my programming skills are lacking so I hardly understand any of it. Nitrodon was a great help with that but we never really got anywhere with it. Anyway, I watched both .smvs and they were both good. I noticed in yours Dromiceius that you cycle through the menu alot. Does that effect the randomness? I remember I tried that a couple times but couldn't get anything out of it. One thing I did notice that changed things was choosing different menu options. By choosing different options (like Defend instead of Attack) the monster will behave differently. It may miss, may cast magic, do a critical, whatever. I'm sure you know this already but I wanted to say it in case you didn't, and for those who may not have known. Do we know if it's quicker to get the whistle to kill Romus or to kill him without it? True to get the whistle you have to get to him first and die but with manipulating around battles it may not take that long to get back. Gonna have to do some testing here. As for getting the extra 100 gold don't forget you have to fight Red Pison right after Melenam so the extra B Power/Prtct will definitely come in handy. Once you get passed him and exit the cave you pop out on the Eygus continent where the brains are. There you can manipulate some quick level ups to make things easier. Again, things you already knew.

Amazing, Friday was spectacular! I love watching you pelt people with papers. I didn't notice any lag though I wasn't really looking for it so it couldn't have been that bad. Either way, great job.

Very nice job. I wonder what happens to the papers you break windows or hit people with? Also, I think you should do the training course on Sunday as well.

Wow very nice. I love how despite the fact that you break their windows and stuff they still resubscribe lol. Great job man. Your strategy seems good to me.

That was before I realized that there is no other side of the street! D'OH!

Wow, that was amazing! I like the magic frame with the Super Arrow, you think he's gonna fall but he's not hehe. I was afraid my speakers were going to explode, I did't think they could handle the sound from four games at once. Thankfully they held up ok. Even if they didn't I was gonna make them. Great job, can't wait to see more.

I watched them both and they were both good, nice job guys. I'd like to see a 10 star SF2Turbo run too, it would be really cool. Who would you choose though? As for another concept battle, how about Cammy vs Bison? In some of the SF stories Bison used his Psychopowers to control Cammy so this could be considered a revenge match or something.

It would be even more interesting if he rode on the other side of the street on "Lawful day". It would also make some sense, since they always tell you in school not to ride against the flow of traffic (or maybe that was just my parents; I dunno). I like your idea Randil, starting on "Wrecking day" and going from there, making it seem as if the Paperboy gets better with experience. It's going to be really cool. I watched your last WIP (the one you put up before starting over again, you took it to Thursday and stopped) and it was great, I love how you just ride over people's lawns and stuff. I can't wait to see what you do with "Wrecking day" hehe. Oh, and thanks. It's great to be back. :)

What if you do two runs? The first one would be the one with the goals listed above, and the second one would be a "Damage run" where you completely trash the neighborhood, only getting enough mailboxes to let you advance to the next level. I haven't watched the WIP yet but I'm sure it's really good. I'll watch it later when I have more time. Would doing two runs be too much work?

Yes they do. The max amount of bombs you can get is 9 unfortunately, but that should be more than enough.
