Nice, the second one looked much cleaner/faster. Hopefully with more complicated levels this will keep getting better. How are you capturing for youtube, by the way?
Also, I agree with avoiding crystals.

Yeah, it'd pretty much be a huge crime :)
I don't know much about this game, but wouldn't doing more rounds where you control both characters increase the total number of rounds available? That could allow for more glitches etc.

Hi Kumquat, welcome to the forums!
You should definitely use the most recent version of dega as it correctly identifies gg games in the movie files. I'm not entirely sure if gg is officially accepted yet either...
Your movie looks decently optimized at first glance, but I think a lot of people will compare this to an autoscroller. Hopefully later levels will have more opportunities for entertainment.
Anyways, good luck and I look forward to seeing more from you...

Man, I was watching some crappy youtube let's play or something of this game and decided it looked awesome, then looked it up and found your post, so I'm glad you're picking it up again.
To those who don't know, this game is kind of mega man style, you can choose level order and there is sliding... good luck!

This did work, though I experienced the same audio desync that has been mentioned before. Also, I got the same error message when I closed the application. Getting closer though, thanks!
Also, I would love the savestate option that ShinyDoofy mentioned. The other method is workable for me, but as adelikat mentioned it is jarring because it's different from every other emulator I use.
Thank you again, good sir!
Edit: For what it's worth, the movie crashed windows explorer during playback in mplayer. I thought it was maybe because I was doing some other intensive stuff at the time, so wasn't too concerned. Since I didn't really need it any more and it was large I tried to delete it, which gave a "file in use" error, and then crashed windows explorer again. I rebooted, and was able to delete it this time, but in the process crashed windows explorer a final time. Oh well, still better than nothing :)

If I made a video of a bunch of fm2s, could they all be spliced together into one video?
I don't know about splicing them into a big fm2, but you could definitely splice them into an avi/mkv. I would be happy to help with that, actually, as that sounds like a promising idea :)

Subtitles would be nice, but in any event, yes please. It was almost too long, but not quite. And I actually liked the zig-zagging :)
Here's an encode...

On second thought, I'm changing my mind on one of the single track races.
I found the F-Zero movie very interesting (probably only because I think the game is awesome), and a full run is hard but possible and would obsolete it. So I think it might as well stay up, maybe with a note saying that normally we don't have movies that don't beat the game and that it is very very unlikely that we will ever publish another movie of that sort.
On the other hand, Top Gear is definitely one of the most boring movies I've seen. Plus, it was published by the author without any feedback from the community. I wouldn't shed any tears if it vanished from the concept demos section.

For whatever reason on one of my computers most topics in the forum don't get marked as read now. Not all, but most. Running Chrome on three computers, only happens on one. Not terrible, but thought I'd mention it.

I have a life? :D
As for asking for help, I guess I've been passive aggressive about it. I've totally neglected it myself for a while.
More on topic, if anyone wants to add to http://tasvideos.org/Alden/GoldenOldies.html it would certainly be welcomed and appreciated!

It's basically because two out of three times you'll pick a wrong cup at first, and then when the other known wrong cup is eliminated you will be switching to the correct cup. One out of three times you will pick the correct one to begin with, and switching will make you lose. (If that makes sense.)
