Nice! Thanks for that. I especially liked the entrance to the castle and the first BLJ in the first level... This game has a lot of opportunities for entertainment. I think a "full" run of the game with a star/stars from ever level would be nice, especially if careful attention is paid to just doing crazy un-possible stuff not in the other runs.

Yeah, that would be awesome! Maybe we could use just NES ones (and some obsolete ones if there's not enough) Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to do a decent one. I know the "professional" ones look at the shape inside the source pictures to try to match lines and stuff, but at a minimum all you really need to do is work out the dominant color of the picture (or a couple sections) and match to the pixels of the target one...

Thanks! Unfortunately these are all at actual SNES resolution. Or at least I assume they are as they are unprocessed frame captures. The movie for Kirby is 480,000 frames. I didn't count the others, but the larger ones probably took substantially longer than that. Edit: The next two are the same as the second Chrono Trigger image above, but done with two different set of default stamps. All you can really make out is Crono's hair :) Picture of me from the User Photo thread: Same picture with a different palette and huge brush: I'm going to be away from my computer over the weekend, so probably no more from me til next week :) Oh, and I have compiled them all at http://tasvideos.org/Alden/AutomaticMarioPaint.html

Would it be possible to display the image in a separate application, set that application to be transparent (Aero Glass?), and position that window over snes9x so that the images line up?
Probably :) OK more pics: And my personal favorite:

Hey, cool! If you click on them you can see all the threads that have pissed people off! Sorry I singled you out there Bisqwit. Feel free to add another post to that list!

I know your position on this. But start bugging Bisqwit about it if you really want to make a permanent change; no one else has any sort of control over it.
Yes, it seems I've told you in particular repeatedly, for no particular reason beyond the fact that it was convenient to do so. It was for the benefit of others, in case they've not been paying attention to me :) Sorry to go off topic. You should make a run so it can be enjoyed!

A lot of people, despite what they are supposed to do, will look at publication of a run as the ultimate goal, not the enjoyment of the creation process or the knowledge that some people, somewhere will enjoy it.
Then we should give those people the artificial incentive of making their work of art relatively available on this revered collection of tool-assisted movies (not in the reject pile). "Available" is a weaker term than the revered "Published" -- I would like a smaller, refined section of the current publications to be the most public face of the site, and devote the rest to all these good movies that will be enjoyed by people, but not by everyone. And yes, I'm being selfish, but anyone who says otherwise about themselves is a liar :)

Yes, true but sad. Does it always have to be though?

Second comment, and voted no despite not having watched it because of no input animation (I just felt like breaking the ice) OK I bet it's really good -- but if the animation goes away we need to get someone like Mr. to do some other game with that... EDIT: Beat gocha by 5 seconds!

Bah, do it anyways! Especially if you have nothing better to do ;) If you make it it *might* not be published, but if you don't make it it *will* not be published.

To clarify: snes9x+Lua has no way to control mouse input as of yet. With the rom hack that allows the cursor to be controlled with the joypad, snes9x+Lua does a fantastic job with cursor control, as you can have it look at memory to determine exactly where it is. Overlaying a picture with snes9x is possible but the way I was originally imagining it (very easy) is not. As in, there is a method for overlaying an image, and there is a method for setting transparency, but apparently image overlays do not support partial transparency, at least according to the API. What you could do theoretically is draw the image pixel by pixel.

Yeah well I guess I should inform my opinions with facts or something... in that case, I would side with less/no extraneous jumping

A happy medium: not constant but you should try to interact with stuff where it doesn't lose time, like in SMB where random 1up blocks are hit etc. But you better go all out on the autoscroller stage :)
