Arc>Overall, it should be published but not obsolete mine. The differences between versions make the Japanese version significantly more difficult. And people will be missing out if the Japanese version completely disappears. While I'm usually a strong supporter of "An improvement should be played on the same version" rule, I think a US version should obsolete the Japanese version. - It's more familiar - It has more interesting tricks - It doesn't have loading screens - It doesn't have the leveling restrictions - The previous version is Famtasia which incorrectly emulates some sounds. The only reason that the Japanese version was used at all, was that Famtasia couldn't emulate the US version correctly (the elevators didn't work). I don't see why we should continue to be limited by an obsolete emulator. Given your list of possible improvements, I'm not sure this is the movie to do the job, though. I only noticed a few of your suggestions, for example attacking the dragon late.

To find it in the Quick Man level when there are no flaming enemies nearby.

>I know Bablo means money in Russian, ... The standard word for money is dengi (деньги), I couldn't find bablo in my dictionary (it's possible that I missed one of those cursed soft signs, of course). Are you sure? Is it a slang word?

File found. I will make it easy for you and score my own answers: 0 points. I thought I would rule at this. :(

>The walking speed of Pocky's companions is the same than Pocky's. Either it's faster THAN Pocky, or the same AS. >Even powered up, cards do the same damage always. It's feels more natural to put the "always" earlier to me, as in "... cards always do the same damage". (Disclaimer: English is not my first language either, and I didn't check your post after these lines.)

>Can anyone else think of anything? Important things: - Fast forward button. - Record movie from savestate. - Number of rerecords, and some kind of text string where the user can write a comment, saved in movie file. - Timing and ROM info stored in movie file. Examples of things that could be saved: - - Checksum of ROM - - Name of ROM - - PAL or NTSC - - Emulator version - - Controllers and peripherals connected (there is no need to be able to change them during recording though) - - Sound frequency A lot of these things deal with the movie format. See http://tasvideos.org/VBM.html for an example of a file format used by another emulator. Not very important things: - Ability to record a reset. - Rewind button. (An array of 10 or so temporary save states, saved every 20 seconds transparent to the user, would do) A lot of things came up during this thread, perhaps we should compile a needed feature list so we have it when the next emulator gets TAS capabilities.

!!! nitsuja! Nice to see you back here, if only briefly. I hope this isn't the only time you pay us a surprise visit. I haven't seen the movie yet but I will check it when it's not in the middle of the night anymore.

>I bet you paly the game you make a run of like 863587 times a day or something ;) This sentence makes me think you haven't understood how the runs on this site are made. Please take a second to read the pages Bisqwit linked to. We use slowdowns and savestates to play perfectly. Training and reflexes has nothing to do with it. The videos are meant to be entertaining, not as a proof of playing skill.

>Lately thers seems to be a lot of slowdown in the publishing/judging process, with something like 9 "Accepted" runs sitting in the queue still (as opposed to before, where they were published very rapidly) I think it's more of a speed-up in judging than a slowdown in encoding. (Out of the currently 10 Accepted movies, 9 were judged by me.) Previously all judges were also encoders, and encoded and published the movies as soon as they had judged them, so this kind of thing could not happen. At least the queue is slowly shrinking now (if only people would stop submitting new movies... :P) As we now have more encoders than we have publishers, I hope that publishers will be made separate from judges, so that everyone who is encoding now can be made publishers and publish accepted movies themselves.

IdeaMagnate: Wow, thanks. That does look a lot better. Thanks for fixing it, as I said I suck at GIMP. I updated the picture to your suggestion. JXQ: It's in Japanese, and Japanese doesn't have capital letters. :/ I was going to let people guess for a while, but nobody took the bait last night. It says "sentan ga kirareta" and was excite's automatic translation suggestion for Truncated when I clicked that button on the Nesvideos frontpage. It means something along the lines of "the end point was cut off" which I then just _had_ to work in somewhere. Also, and I swear this was not intentional at first, the text didn't fit in, so I had to truncate the last part of it. AngerFist>Since I dont want to create another silly useless thread, ... What exactly are you implying, mister Fist? :P Seriously though, good luck with your new avatar.

The results are in: I am FODA's bitch. I wanted to make the text transparent, but meh. I suck at gimp. I saved most of the suggestions to my hard drive, so they might pop up as avatars later. :)

>... the reason why I'm taking a break is because I'm still waiting for feedback before I keep on with my progress: That's not what you wrote in the Rocking Kats thread. You said you wanted someone to finish the boss for you, not that you wanted feedback. But okay, I'll check it and see if I have anything to comment on.

I don't know, but you can download a movie which does this, and watch it at a very low speed in FCEU with input display on. Input display is turned on by comma (,) or full stop (.) - i don't remember which one.

I'd just like to say "Wow." - I never thought I would get this many suggestions. Thank you, all y'all! :) I have a few top candidates, and will make up my mind during the weekend.

I have no interested in a TurboGrafx emulator, but if you go ahead with it, I'd suggest checking how it's implemented in the emulators everybody seems to like best here (being VBA and to some extent Snes9x), to get it right from the start with out-of-order savestate loading, frame advance, movie file format, etc.

Just repeating what I said on IRC, because everyone needs to know: - GB Zelda: Link's Awakening, full run - Gen Castlevania: Bloodlines, both characters Out of the games others suggested I only agree with: - Gen Alisia Dragoon Interesting game, had a interesting WIP of the first level. None of these begin with S though. Sorry.

Ramzi>Would source code be helpful for improving a run? If so, what are the possibilities of requesting (and receiving) it, or decompiling? The chance for receiving the source is about 0%, I'd say. It is quite likely it was programmed in NES machine instructions (assembler), which means that the source would be no different from decompiling it. And yes, decompiling is possible (Bisqwit did it for MM1, Acmlm for DW and Monopoly, etc.), but the result is impossible to understand for any normal man. I don't think this would be the best game to gain something out of decompiling anyway. It's too straight-forward.

>How about improving the Super Metroid 100% movie instead? I think it's good enough for not needing improvement (especially since not working on SM100% means JXQ would work on a new project, potentially increasing the sum of total awesomeness in the universe). I don't know which game that would be, though. EDIT: clarification

>This I would actually find interesting to watch, mainly because I've only played this game a few times, and haven't seen all the levels. Major question: do some of the tricks from SMB1 carry over to this game, and if so, how many and which? Almost all of them. See: http://tasvideos.org/SuperMarioBrosTricks.html
