I briefly looked at the code. Address $68 gets explicitly checked against value 0x34, only then the guy turns into a swirl. It looks like some sort of a timer, and color is tied to it too. If you don't kill him right as he launches at you, he will remain in the 0x34 color while he flies, and only then he'll advance to next colors. If you kill him, he starts advancing to next colors right away, that way you shorten his swirl loop. hopper, can you make a proof of concept run beating a few levels, so I could objectively and fully evaluate the current submission when judging it? I don't want to simply reject it for beating too many waves, I'd like to understand the whole situation. With swirl not being random, what would be your estimates on the times? Also, when making a competitive run, you don't have to wait for your opponent. Just build your run, and add them as a co-author if they manage to beat you. You seem to be simply more of an expert at this game, and at the same time in tasing itself, so if you only give advices, the run won't be as optimal as if you participated.

Couple questions. 1. How is the increasing difficulty even measured (once you've picked the difficulty setting)? Just by the speed of destroyer missile? 2. Can easter egg be achieved right in the first level?

Yes, because each frame has more time to execute. It's also how we overclocked fceux - by adding extra scanlines.

I decided to ignore it instead of disabling for the time being. We'll see later on.

This counter is only for debugging, it updates whenever input roll updates. No need to update it more, since it doesn't affect anything. Committed a few fixes, update!

#2 is fixed in master by TASeditor. #1 is probably not needed at all, since we already have THREE ways to advance and rewind. And this FOURTH way would require adding a whole new event to InputRoll class just to catch KeyUp. I might disable this thing altogether, or just ignore it.

I JUST MERGED A HUGE PULL REQUEST. https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/commit/6580c2abef2fac5af82ecee8d035c4f99c897dfe TO EVERYONE USING TASTUDIO: Try out the dev build and test it extensively. Report critical bugs so they don't get into the release (which will happen soon).

Rewritten my "frames won't color" stuff: 1. I check a part of my movie from frame 800, 1.0 speed 2. I see I need to delay input so I pause the game 3. I insert 2 or more frames. When you insert more than 1 frame at frame N, TAStudio will remove the new color from frame N-1 (from green to light green) and fails to recolor the next frames.
Works fine for me.

Here is what I was doing that didn't work. Open 2 instances of BizHawk. Open 2 instances of TAStudio. paint some inputs in one instance, then copy them. On the other instance Edit -> paste will not be available. (But, right click paste is still possible, as is ctrl+v. After you paste in this way once, the edit -> paste option becomes available.) So I guess it's just a minor anomaly, I should have experimented more.
Fixed.

Commodore 64 games tend to have a long load period (1000-6000 frames), and when I have a marker on the first non-lag frame, I need to wait for TAStudio to scan in from the beginning of the lag frame clump when I try to hop back to said marker. Example .tasproj Jumping to Level 1(+1), Level 2 or Level 3 markers should trigger the problem.
Fixed by spending several weeks on implementing an entirely new (even compared to fceux taseditor) greenzone decay algorithm. Crazy props to r57shell.

Absolutizing things does no good. First, we have this set of guidelines: http://tasvideos.org/JudgeGuidelines.html#BeThorough Second, millions of flies can be wrong. We've seen it so many times. If you want to discuss this particular point, I'll provide links. Third, you're talking about judges like we deal with their personal takes. It's not true. Meticulousness and experience are the critical qualities here. We test things for as long as needed until it's clear what 2+2 is. When needed, we also test each other, and the rules. Sometimes judges make mistakes too. When it happens, no one is afraid of revisiting their decisions. Overall, I don't think there's reason to blow things out of proportion here.

Since I anticipate a new BizHawk release within the next couple of months (been a while since the last one and Alyosha is probably itching to release GBHawk), can we get an update to the latest mGBA version when that happens? I believe there have been a number of additional timing fixes that would be nice to have in the latest BizHawk version.
What's the mGBA version number?
