Frankly, a better solution would be to just display a clock in the corner of the screen and stop it while paused.
Heh, I realized the same thing after a while :) Plus maybe a player script that would "skip" the pause screen so it would look like inta-switching? I still think it would be cool to switch weapons quickly too though.

Sorry if I should report this elsewhere, but here's my current FCEUX Lua wishlist: -Ability to register a function to execute when saving and loading states. This makes it so you can essentially store the "state" of your script -Ability to read/write to other parts of RAM (PPU in particular) -The ability to toggle stuff like "show background" -- pretty much anything that can be assigned a hotkey ;) -Get the current ROM checksum and other info like name of movie file... Just throwing out ideas :D

In case you're not being sarcastic, I meant that it would use the buttons from controller 3 and 4, not add more buttons to a controller :) So far my roadblock is that the graphics are defined in the PPU unit which Lua cannot change easily (one thing I thought of was saving the state, opening the save file and modifying it directly, then loading the tampered save... but that pretty crazy/slow)

Well, if by replay you mean start the game with all the weapons, then yes, that could be done theoretically :) I don't know about actually replaying levels though. What about doing one better than the X series and enable the third and fourth controller buttons to select a specific weapon; in other words, Weapon 1 would be on the up button, Weapon 2 on the right button, etc...

Sorry if this has been answered, but is there support for dega movies? (Not that anyone uses dega...)

Well if you wanted to do individual levels with all weapons, it should be fairly easy to write to the RAM and trick it into giving all of them at full energy to you :) I did most of my testing with a warp-to-the-final-levels password so he had everything already...

OK so I made a script for MM3 http://lua.pastey.net/98269-2sm5 Press select to change weapons. It still has the following problems: Doesn't check if you actually have that weapon yet; doesn't drain weapon power; graphical glitches; probably a bunch of other stuff. I believe most should be resolved if we can find all the involved memory addresses to set. I tried to make it fairly easy to do it for the other games as well. Should "only" have to find the addresses.

I wonder how hard it'd be (for someone who has a clue what they're doing, not me) to mod the NES Megaman games so that Select did instant weapon switch, without the teleport animation.
I could probably hack it in with Lua, maybe. I'm not entirely sure, though :| Mostly depends on demand.
It should work in theory... I'm curious now and will try my hand :P

Here's an old thread about this game... we usually try to keep discussion about one game centralized: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6040&highlight=

So I guess it has to be customized for every ROM? It's pretty awesome dude :D

4|Abstained It didn't hold my attention personally (I've even played the game before) but I could see how it could do so to someone. The bits I did watch were amusing though... Technically, it seems that things could be faster, however that's just conjecture as I have no specific arguments at this point :)

Maybe you should try making commentaries of other games too? I've thought about doing so myself, I'm just too lazy :P Also: don't bother too much with what other people may or may not think, do it for fun ;)

Well Charles Schulz said it was a warm puppy, and John Lennon said it was a warm gun... Google says... Personally I think of it as a chemical reaction.

Sorry dude, fighters aren't much loved here. The fighters that are published usually show variety and entertainment, and usually don't aim for speed. From what you posted, it looks like the run will be the same move over and over again. Plus, this port looks terrible compared to the original (understandably, but still...). If you want to finish it go for it, but I think most people won't like it too much (I'm more ambivalent personally). Hope you keep TASin' though, always good to see new talent.

I want to see it too! Of course I'll continue to nitpick it to death if possible :P

So why wasn't it submitted? Thought it was too boring? Think I'll get things thrown at me if I submit it :D ?

The numbers on the right are the number of votes, not the average value of the votes... yeah it confused me at first too.

That's why I think deterministic bots are more interesting in this case... Using random numbers and savestates feels like rolling dice to me :) But I suppose they would probably be more successful. Mario Bros sounds good to me too

I'm voting yes... or 9|9 Edit: I redact the following: "but I can't seem to rate right now." Beautifully short run; I didn't investigate your input but it seemed well planned out and executed. Looking forward to more substantial runs from you :D
