How does the hash of the rom used in this submission match the one I used, and it's not a bad dump, if its header it erroneous (neither is it marked [!])? The dump itself is maybe correct, but the whole .nes file isn't. I used the rom with the same filename and hash as the submission, and got it from GoodNES 3.14. I don't understand where your assumption is coming from.
Note: QuickNES plays it the same as fceux, NESHawk plays it correctly (but also desyncs).

Using Rayban the Third (Unl) [!].nes fixes the scrolling but desyncs. I patched the 6th byte in the header to be $41 instead of $40 and the scrolling was fixed in Lupin Sansei - Pandora no Isan (J).nes.
Apparently, this run uses a bad dump.

Am I the only person who gets broken scrolling in fceux (same rom)?

Thank you!
I suggest to make something simple where you could put 2 input displays exactly side-by-side for a better effect. A cardboard frame maybe?

niamek, check precisely 2 scenarios: the one where you save those huge branches asap, and the one where you save them with no hurry. If that's the problem, it's good.

Terra Tubes are gonna need some brainstrorming as well. Checkpoints don't care about your Z position, but the final one depends on camera position.
Also, PJ assured me that once on console the hammer-fish bumped him through the wall right into level end, but I was unable to reproduce it.

Are you saying debugger isn't working for you?

Thanks for blaming me a hundred times in a row for not making nonexistent (dedupped) frames be considered in a format that I didn't design. Nice ignorance, or just stupidity?
Maybe you didn't get it back then, but timestamps in the subtitles no longer match the timestamps of a dedupped encode, it seems mkv just can't spawn a subtitle in the middle of a frame, that it makes last as long as its timecodes tell it to.
As for distinguishing between 512kb downloadable and 512kb stream, good point.

I personally was fine with it mp4 subs, but in some games you want special placement for them, otherwise they may cover all the ingame text. Standalone players can override subtitle placement, but for streams there's little to no point in such subs if they cover important gameplay elements. In mp4 you can't change their placement or embed any other subtitle format. I think it was Spike's idea to use mkv for 512kb.
And as I said, if 512kb encode is anyway done as mp4, there's no point in having it as mkv as well. For proper subtitles one needs mkv, and I see no benefit in having 2 mkvs. So I'd only leave primary mkv, and if subtitles don't look right in a given game using mp4+srt, then only mkv should have the subtitles.
See [2719] Genesis Langrisser II "all levels" by ars4326 in 1:56:46.59 as a great example.

Incorrect, the "initial goal" of 512kb is to offer a streaming MP4 which can be played back directly on the site. If archive makes it, the file is huge and looks terrible. This is unacceptable.
I meant the goal of making 512kb.mkv in the first place. They were made because subtitles suck in mp4.

It used to have BG color parameter used for its shadow, then I replaced the shadow with proper halo. But its color can't be changed, probably we need to remove the confusing parameter from that function.

If encoders/publishers want to make their own MKV for the 512kb too for various reasons, that's fine, but they must ensure to provide their own MP4 of it and not allow Archive.org to create an MP4 itself.
Right, and then I once again don't see the benefit of even having 512kb.mkv alongside 512kb.mp4. The initial goal was to have a 512kb file that has proper subtitles, but then we end up with mp4 file with bad subtitles anyway, wether we make it or Archive does.
So I think the "least bad" solution would be to drop subtitles from mp4s if they don't look decent right away, and have only 2 traditional downloadables again.

I think in the end we should try supporting dynamic IPs too. Or maybe the problem was just my router? I remember configuring it to use some ports that I can also force programs like QIP to use for file transferring.

Since the latest release, bizhawk supports genesis debugging and breakpoints. The way I do it though, is figuring out a single address I need, then tracing instructions for the frame it changes on to see the system. And tracing is also now supported for genesis.
As for debugger, you can't use it to scroll up yet, you'll only see the actual PC where it breaks and the lower lines. You also can set breakpoints in lua, register a funciton that writes to your address and print the PC register value (or disasm right away).

There's a small chance that you save a new branch before the old one that you just saved finishes writing down its states. I'd assume it becomes more and more broken at that rate if use longer movies (with all input log covered with states). Maybe a simple ban should be added to saving a branch while saving a brunch (the same I did to saving a project). But that's just a guess.

Snake level layout is kept in RAM at $600-$77F. That's all I know.
