RE 1: Does your TAS aim for in-game time or real time?
In-game time. Also, the verification movie will take some time to make since I have to beat the Novice GP as well.

I was thinking of making a TAS of Pokemon Dash on Expert GP right after I finish Club Penguin, but I have a couple of questions regarding it. 1: Can I mess wit Pikachu on the title screen a little bit? 2: Can I make a verification movie that skips the tutorial from a new game? Thank you! A run: Link to video

I'm just confused why some people still embrace mupen given all the problems during TASing, viewing and publication despite alternatives existing. Other than "easier to use" and "my TAS started in Mupen" I don't see why people still use them. :|
My guess is BizHawk runs awfully slow in their PCs.

Oh, why did I say 8-4 before? I actually meant 7-3**, sorry. But yeah, grab the first vine, left+right and then jump into the pipe. A rough test I did saved 63 frames.
o_0!! I tested it, it really saved a lot of frames. That was my mistake. I actually didn't know this improvement while making this run until you told me this. It seems my skills are not enough.
Allright, can you post the improvement then?

I guess he said to make playlists ON YOUTUBE aside from the very organized playlist in the site. Like a port of the playlist here on YouTube playlists there. Or I'm just confusing myself and it's completely different from what he said.

Just want to clarify that I planned to accept this if you would fix the mistakes in 8-4 with the vine. Because it really bugs me :).
Maybe you could ask him that via PM, maybe that way he will see it. Or I could fix it if he wants me to.

I don't know if this is a bug or just a silly mispelling error, but one of the movie tags says "Foregoes memory corruption". I guess it should be written forgoes instead of foregoes, but I'm a spanish speaker, so I dunno.

Looks more like a ROM Corruption from the Real-Time Corruptor Mod on BizHawk.

Excuse me... I have a question but... When you finish this, is this run going to obsolete any of the SNES runs or not?

Progress: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/22623717153540985 Aaaaand before explaining the last 2 missions, I will explain this microgame cuz it's kinda hard to strategize. Solar, I want you to do this and take your time for it. (PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING!!!) This is called the Heads-Up 3000, this microgame in particular you have to move your teammates to 5 specific places and it kinda looks like this: Solarplex, you can make this fairly optimal. You can move each penguin and start each penguin's microgame early at a certain frame before the orange bar appears. Remember that there's only 5 places you have to do this, you don't have to do this everywhere on the map. Choose what penguin goes where and also think of using Rookie as little as possible and using just JPG and Dot instead. MG No. 1: Jet-Pack Guy's Perfect Landing Looks like this: As soon as you press on Go! You have a limited time to land (click) on the specific square. This can be done fast with presice timing on 2 clicks, and the game will detect it's beaten. MG No. 2: Disguise Dot Looks like this: This one can be done incredibly quickly by clicking the center of Dot's head/torso/feet on 1 frame, and then dragging it left or right the frame after. Left a frame blank, repeat and done. MG No. 3: Rookie's Wheel of Focus (i'm not shitting you that's how it's called) Looks like this: The hardest of the 3. I don't really know how to make this one optimal. Basically, you have to drag the arrow to make the wheel spin. You can possibly make this shorter by dragging the arrow on a very specific touch coordinates on a span of 3 frames, it will detect it's spinned correctly. BTW make sure you don't make the spinning take too long or spin too fast, otherwise it will take a while to end spinning the wheel. So..... good luck buddy! I hope you can do it! I will verify the route while you do your thing. :3

Encode: Link to video HOLY CRAP GUYS! We're so close of beating the game!!! Before starting Mission 9 I want to say some few things: -This encode^ is the last encode we're going to make before submission. -The real time this mission was beaten counting all of the improvements is 21:04.72 -Last 2 missions have a route already. -Hopefully this TAS will be on the Workbench before June. So yeah, we are on the final road! So excited, I can't believe I started this project waaaay back in 2013. Ok, solarplex, let's do this! I will give ya details about the route and microgames soon. STAY TUNED!

Dunno why it keeps happening but i desync around 72.5k frames in. One cause of Desyncs: make sure that you are switching between read+write and read only when you are skipping around you savestates.
Can you tell me the exact frame? The best way to resync a run is by adding a frame on the desynced frame via Notepad++. Also make sure you're playing the movie all the way through without skipping playback via savestates otherwise it will desync most of the time.

I haven't submitted this to TASVideos because I had to modify the game slightly in order to make it work, which I think is against their submission rules. Specifically, there were some audio issues that made the movie either desync or be soundless, so I had to change all the MP3s to WAVs and fiddle with some settings in RPG Maker. Nothing that affects the actual gameplay was changed in any way.
This worries me even more.

I've seen the current PomPum submission and it lead me to some worrying thoughts. There has to be an explanation of why sound isn't present in video dumps or even on a movie replay. I want to TAS Nintendo Nightmare and Yume Nikki, but the issue with those games is that it doesn't play any audio in Hourglass. (unless you modify the game itself) So I would want to see why this happens and how to fix it... any ideas? pls don't bring up houglass resurrection BTW...

I want to improve some of those runs. Like the Battletoads 1P run, the Lololo 2 "Pro Levels" run and... that's about it if MUGG doesn't want to improve the Kirby Super Star one.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/22513465407372074 Ok, resyncing starts from here. Here's the bad news: It will take some time, RNG COULD be an obstacle and random desyncs in further missions can happen too. The good news is the improvements made. I saved a total of 2102 frames (34 seconds aprox.) with this run, thanks to the slight route changes, better optimization and the small HUD Off improvement in Mission 1. (I got sub-5 with this BTW :D) I'll be encoding this soon since this is a slightly different input, but here's something I want to ask to this community. Please, PLEASE post here more often, just post hype or your opinion about the run, it helps quite a bit despite what just happened yesterday... thank you!

Welp... I guess you'll have to wait. Because I found a MAJOR improvement in Mission 2, yeah TWO. I found out that you can skip talking to G and get the items without even talking to him, potentially saves like 15 to 20 seconds. Also in Mission 1 I can HUD Off to use the grappling hook faster which saves a couple of seconds................... OH NOOOOOOO I have to resync from Mission 1 & 2 all the way to Mission 8... I-I.... I can't even stress enough my frustration right now... please send help. X_X
