RE: Zowayix First, get FCEU 16. Then, open each game, and before playing the movie, pause the emulators (default key is Pause). Load the movie in both. Then, go into one of the emulators, and in the Config menu check the Enable Background Input option. Then go to the other one, and press the pause key again, which should unpause both. (The movies tend to desync from each other over time though still)

It should theoretically work with GG roms, but I've had many that don't.

No worries ;) I do think the search engine is a little whack, especially when searching for more than one word... it took me a while to find the old thread and I had the distinct advantage of *knowing* it existed. Anyways, I will TAS this game when, um, well... when I run out of better games. So probably never at this rate :( ... but maybe KQI if it's any shorter!

Yep, there's already a thread. But I support KQV too! (And mouse support is not in DOSBox yet I believe :( )

Pretty sure it's the same map with different speed enemies/pac man. Thus, boring as hell :)

Ermacone is working on an emerald version of the SMS game, but I haven't heard from him lately :( I'm working on GG version, no emeralds. I do in fact intend to continue on this run, but I've been distracted by various things like, um, real life (psh... real life). Hang in there! (and if someone wants to work on this faster than me I won't be offended :P)

For an .smv, try http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php Also, if you're not going to utilize L+R you might as well do the original game in my opinion.

It's interesting look as well at the other bases. In binary for example, the number of 0's is of course the total number of prime factors in the numbers from 1 to n that are 2. The recursive formula in this case is f(0) = 0 f(n) = floor(n/2) + f(floor(n/2)) And in the special case where n = 2^x, f(n) = n - 1 A similar recursive formula works for base 3, 5, 7 ... probably all the prime numbers. For base = 2x where x is a non-2 prime, f(0) = 0 f(n) = floor(n/x) + f(floor(n/x)) seems to always work as well (base 10 being an example of this). But, for bases of more complex sets of prime factors, like 12 or 18 the pattern breaks down ... can someone think of a more general recursive function?

Fascinating, and one of the more unique runs I've seen here in a fair bit. Hypnotic and fast paced -- I especially liked the trees in level two and the lightning in level three. Also, try playing this game to truly appreciate the movie, though I thought it was absorbing without having played it first. Good show Xipo.

That makes sense and kind of what it looked like you were doing when I was watching -- though I didn't realize why. That sort of does have a bit to do with network optimization insofar as it is traversing a set of vertices and edges in an efficient manner, because in this "network", where A B and C are any three consecutive dots (vertices), A->B->C is longer than A->B->A. (If I interpreted your post correctly ;)

Randil, this is why you're my hero :) That was an interesting strategy, I'd love to hear more about how you came up with it, especially if it was really a result of network optimization ...

I'll give it a double yes because it was very entertaining (reminded me a bit of rockman x and metroid) plus I tried tasing this game and failed utterly (input every 4 frames = annoying) You mentioned that there was no memory watch for dega -- there is, but you have to install python and it's kind of "beta" right now ... obviously you made a great movie without it though ;)

Watched your wip finally, good stuff. Some levels were kind of vanilla but as stated before the hilly levels are cool... perhaps as the levels get harder we'll get to see more creative solutions :) I was surprised that datacrystal.org did not have info on hammer bros locations, so I decided to dig in myself for fun. For reference, Mario's map positions: X: 79 Y: 75 Page: 77 (when x gets > 256 this goes from 0 to 1, then 1 to 2, etc) Hammer Bros 1: X: 7EFB Y: 7EED Page: 7F09 Hammer Bros 2: X: 7EFC Y: 7EEE Page: 7F0A I didn't test above 2, but for each additional hammer bros, presumably just add 1 to each address? Hope it helps, and I hope to see more work forthcoming (I should talk...)

1. Frequently 2. When you're reasonably sure you don't need to redo something from that point -- you can always replay your movie in read only mode to redo pretty much anything if need be 3. When you mess up 4. Load the closest one to where you messed up 5. Frame advance like evilchen said, or turbo when it's a long cut scene ;) I do agree that tasing is much different from playing the game normally, but that's what I (and I imagine a lot of folks here) enjoy about it :)

oh yeah... you flap your tail with A :P Wouldn't it be much faster to get the whistle in 1-3 with b? That would still be 4 presses, albeit one "inside of a level." But I guess if it's not being submitted it doesn't matter too much, only that you have fun doing it ;) I will watch your movie when I have a chance, thanks for posting it.

I'd like to see the "air force" auto scroller in world 8 done without pushing the b button... I think the only way to do it "without running" would be with raccoon/tanuki but you'd still need to flap your tail. Also I think it was decided you can't walljump to get the whistle in the fortress, so the route would be substantially longer, even disregarding the fact that you'd be moving slower too :P BUT i would watch a WIP if you made one, even if it were not accepted :)

In the spirit of the Pac-Man Challenge and at the suggestion of a buddy, I made a single level of Frogger for the SNES. Not for submission of course, but I think it's amusing to see this game played absurdly quickly at least for one level. So check it out and beat my time/score if you dare... ;) (used record_reset_snes9x. I assume it will work on any 1.43 version though)

That is indeed pretty fun ;) Just a word of warning to other poor windows users like myself, I had to grab "Numeric for windows python2.5" from pygame as well as the main "pygame-1.7.1release.win32-py2.5.exe" (and i had to upgrade to python 2.5) Great work Boco!
