Arguably, the wiimote is "inactive" so long as it's not moving, meaning the magnitude of the acceleration is approximately 98 (assuming 1 unit is about 10cm/s/s).
i.e. sqrt((x-512)^2 + (y-512)^2 + (z-512)^2) ≈ 98. Note that I've seen my real wiimote measure anywhere from 90 to 100 units while completely still so the error on the equality is very rough.I'm conversing and asking questions. You say "arguing" as if it were a hostile activity, but I'm merely trying to collaborate.
Do you think things like the bottle glitch in Ocarina of Time, door warping in GoldenEye, fast pauses in GoldenEye, screen warping in the 2D Zeldas, or sliding through walls in the Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 could have been anticipated through code alone, even if the original source code was available?
Can you explain this a bit more? What causes the softlock, and why would an upwarp be the mechanism to fix it? And does that method of softlocking occur in vanilla, even if a level editor was used to create a custom environment to allow it?
This video shows the upwarp without a hanging ceiling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1dzNzRYkU
I looked at the playlist, and I just want to say I'm really impressed with how you handled the Star Bunnies on Gateway. Also, the whole thing looks great. I'm sure it's going to make a splash when it's finally complete.
If the game doesn't use bounding box or some other GPU readback feature like EFB copies to RAM or EFB access from CPU (Super Mario Sunshine says hi), you can use whatever hardware, backend and enhancements you want without worrying about desyncs.
3. .dtm editing: I've seen that GC's movie could be edited. How about making a tool which can change .dtm to .txt?(Of course it can also change .txt to .dtm) So that I can edit wii's movie. That must be useful very well.
Very nicely done! The skips in Good Egg 1 were particularly cool. Looking forward to more of your work!
There's an easy way to determine if it's needed. Go through an RTA run and count the number of star bits available for pickup (or easily obtainable) outside of the normal grinding segments. This will take only a few hours, and as mentioned it will save you a hell of a lot of time. With any luck, there will be a clear surplus, and you don't have to worry about routing star bits too much. There are clearly a massive number of star bits available, and this is the most likely option (you collected over 100 without stopping on the first star.) But this way you can confirm it.
Ouu this is exciting. Good luck making smooth progress throughout the rest of the game. I'm looking forward to seeing more!
