Wow, sounds great! You can try either filespace.org or rapidshare.de, both of them offer free storage. I don't know why DeHackEd's microstorage doesn't, really.

In that case, you can go back to state 1, but not to 2 and 3 once you've started something else. An example then: You have state 1 from where you want to try out different methods. You use state 2 and 3 to optimize the first method A. (*) Then you go back to state 1, and try the other method B with states 5 and 6. Now if method B with states 5-6 is the best, no worries. Just keep on recording. If method A was the best, you can NOT simply load states 2-3 to resume from there, that will give you a guaranteed desynch. Either you 1) Load state 1 and redo method A (if it's not very long), or 2) You backed up your movie where the (*) was, resume recording in THAT movie with states 2-3. Hope that made everything clear. This is because Snes9x automatically saves a backup of the movie in the state file. In Gens (and Famtasia and maybe FCEU, I'm not sure) you have to do this manually.

No idea what that is or where it's from. But I'm curious about what program you're using to make your midis. I need a good one, there are some tunes that need to get out of my head.

Sounds like I'll have to get that N64 emulator some time soon.

You're not stupid. And I can't download hero of the day's WIP either, angelfire seems to have removed it.

JXQ: Another thing it could be, is that Snes9x has bulletproof rerecording. Even if you load savestates out of order, the movie doesn't desynchronize. Gens does not have this feature, so you have to keep track of which savestate is most recent and in which order to load them.

All I have to say is that you're doing a great job so far. Everything seems good.

What kind of error do you get? Just saying "I can't play it" doesn't help someone if they are going to figure out what the problem is.

It's probably because it's an old movie where the controller settings aren't saved. Just test with two 6-button controllers, if it desynchs try two 3-button controllers, etc. You can still try to play the movie even when the program warns you.

>In any case, to this day I still don't know what would cause a CD to *shatter* while in a drive. It can't be that uncommon. I've heard several stories like this. I've had some PC games flat out disappear (box, cd, booklets), to this day I have no idea where they went. Probably my brothers ate them or something. And a joystick controller for my Mega Drive, where the stick broke in half. The guy in the store claimed he had never seen anything like it, but I'm not sure I believe that.

It was a lot funnier the other way.

I can tell Chinese, Japanese, and Korean apart easily. The languages, that is. It would help if you could hear what she was singing. Generally the people are very hard to tell apart (in my experience), except possibly for clothing, hairstyle and more than anything else mannerisms. And none of that really applies here...

What about the next version of Gods, are you getting any closer to completing it? I really liked the previous movies.

Keeping upward momentum after hitting a brick. Just like megaman and Bisqwit and BOMF wrote. If you think it's not a trick, or already known or trivial in some way, it's so much easier to write it at once instead of playing this stupid set-up game, forcing me or someone else write a stupid post in which you already know what the answer will be, before you can step in with your brilliance. It's not clever.

>haha tjena angerfist :D första gången jag ser en svensk härom kring ;) Really? There are quite a few of us here. You couldn't have been searching very actively. (For anyone interested, he said it's the first time he saw a swede around here.) Anyway, this duck game we were discussing...

Is this trick known? Or did megaman actually make a discovery?

Yeah, let's fight everyone! >Ps: I except a public apology from mr. megaman. I think this sentence is funny in an unintentional way. I think you really meant expect. I don't think you're going to get one either. Coming to think of it, I think a lot of things.

If you can't hit the save button in time, you're running the game at a too high speed. Try setting it even lower. Even if you make a mistake, you can stop recording, replay your movie file and make a savestate whereever you want it, and then resume recording from there. Read the FAQ files, there's a lot of help in there.

My vote is for whichever campaign you think you can finish. BWT sounds good to me. Is the next level different depending on the method you beat the previous level? I don't remember that, I thought none of the levels got information from previous levels. But it's been a good few years since I touched the campaign.

Did you check to see if it is as fast as the published version in the levels that are the same?

Mario is probably faster, judging from the two warp runs. Which I assume you have watched and studied if you plan to do this game.

Is the problem encoding power, or judging the submissions, or both? I cannot be a judge since I do not fulfill the "can create AVI files". Perhaps you can create a specific category of privileges for people who can only reject submission, and not accept. (Letting someone who can't encode accept submissions means someone else has to do his/her dirtywork, and I don't think people generally are interested in that.) That would relieve some of the clogging in the queue at the moment. It wouldn't get the good runs encoded, of course, but that tend to happen anyway.

I think all the campaigns could be interesting for a run. Since they are disjoint and you don't have to play any campaign to unlock another (at least in the PC version, don't know about N64), you could make up to 6 separate AVIs instead. That could be done even if someone decides to do one massive movie file, actually. Which PC version is N64 based on, or at least released after? If any of the terran slides worked that could seriously improve terran economy. Videos, for anyone interested: http://speeddemosarchive.com/Starcraft.html http://speeddemosarchive.com/StarcraftBroodWar.html I haven't checked most of them myself. Will do later. Flag, feel like throwing together a movie of 1 or 2 levels to show everyone your awesomeness?
