do that we need do disassemble the whole game.
I will also check if BushRoot could be manipulated. Do you have a list or RAM addresses?
If you want to make movie with killing that lance duck it's OK, but it can't be call "pacifist".
Glad I abstained from voting...
http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/20105242395548292 Every level except Steelbeak is now done. I'm thinking of making a proof-of-concept run of SB. Problem is, I don't know if I should just go with what feos says, or just blank out and leave this run at that stage.
There seems to be this concept that the TAS showcases at the GDQ events need to do something special, something never seen before, something that has never been shown nor attempted before, something that shocks even TASers and regular visitors to tasvideos.org. It's like not getting a standing ovation would be considered a failure. This year this idea went so far that there actually was not a single actual speedrun showcased, even though it's supposed to be a "tool-assisted speedrun". Personally I don't see why that has to be some kind of necessity. Just plain regular old TASes, run on a real console, are awesome enough, when the game and the TAS are chosen appropriately. Just take eg. a glitchfest TAS (like the Megaman one), and it ought to be awesome to watch. Not every viewer has seen TASes before. Especially not run on a real console. Of course I don't know if the event organizers will accept just a "regular TAS" for the event. But if that's a concern, why not just ask them? Make a case that 1) it's actually the very idea of TASing, and 2) a cool-enough existing TAS that does crazy things ought to be awesome to watch all in itself. That's not to say there can't be any never-seen-before things at all, but perhaps it would be easier, and even better, if the TAS block doesn't consist solely of those.
RGamma: What would be a range of avsync revisions that require GapFix? Also, as we figured out the header size, can we reliably use it for all dolphin audio dumps?
So here's the build of GapFix suitable for any dolphin wav dump (as soon as sample gaps were filled of course, which was done in https://github.com/nattthebear/dolphin-avsync/tree/3825S and later): https://github.com/feos-tas/Misc/blob/master/GapFix.7z The question remains "When sample gaps were fixed?"Language: cpp// We are now at offset 44 if (file.Tell() != 44) PanicAlert("wrong offset: %lld", (long long)file.Tell());
I would caution against having a "race", at least one in which the human is destined to lose. If anything could fuel a common newcomer's misconception of TASes being intended to compete against Unassisted Runs on equal ground, and thus as "cheating", that would do it. And besides, I don't think it would be more interesting than the TAS on its own. It would basically be like, "here's a normal unassisted run, oh and here's also a video of a TAS happening alongside it to see what one of those looks like. Try to watch both.".
I have downloaded Package 2 and it's proceeding fine so it will be ready today, hopefully.

Since this game was neither released outside Japan, nor was it allowed to, I'm pretty sure we can change the title to Dragon Unit JPN for this and the previous publication.
As for comparing this run to the existing one, let's see... This one gets bad ending, this one beats the game faster, this one leaves no chances to the existing one entertainment-wise, but this one has an additional fight (between 2 players) that makes it longer. VS is a required fight, right? You can't just ignore it in 2P?
Anyway, I think this run is so great that it deserves its own category, both being in Moons, they don't have much overlapping content, and this one looks better in all terms. Yes vote btw.
I'm very sorry for the delay, everyone! I was having internet trouble and needed to redo something, but I am working on them now.
