Do you mean on the Resources page? The sub-speed values are the fractional/decimal part.
Ah, I see, thanks.

I was reading through https://www.speedrun.com/wizards_and_warriors_iii_kuros_visons_of_power/thread/lkkiw and was kinda surprised to find https://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/WizardsAndWarriors3 was so barebones on tricks and glitches... I think someone trimmed the decimals off of Movement Speed for each costume too. Edit: I guess all the information from that topic is here, in this Tasvideos.org topic and the topic has so little activity there isn't much reason to port it all to a Resources page. I suppose I can impart some interesting info that's useless for TAS'ing the game. Losing a life results in an extended invincibility period, allowing you to jump over the beehive that blocks the way to Upper Piedup (This is useless since there is now a way to despawn the beehive which is significantly faster). You can also exploit this to get in to the Underworld depths without an appropriate costume to facilitate escaping the area as the glowing obstacle beneath the first Wizards test has no collision box, only a hurt box (so you can walk right through it after a death).

I can confirm this is fixed after updating from 2.6.2 to 2.7.0 (likely 2.6.3 fixed it)

Well, i tried copying everything in the common-shaders-master folder in to the shaders folder instead of just what I want and that didn't work, so I tried adding to the relevant CGP file anything you've listed that was missing and that didn't work either so I may just give up on getting XBRZ working. Thanks for the attempt to help.

You are missing the "compat_includes.inc" file. Which itself references other files that you must also have in a "include" subfolder. Put the "compat_includes.inc" file and the "include" folder in ...\BizHawk\Shaders, along with your presets. Get them from here: https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders The .glsl shaders work with OpenGL. If you use Direct3D, you need .cg shaders.
Okay so in the Shaders folder I have placed the Include folder and the compat_includes.inc. I then created a new folder called xbrz and copied the contents of the xbrz folder in to it. \BizHawk\Shaders\include\ \BizHawk\Shaders\compat_includes.inc \BizHawk\Shaders\xbrz\*.cgp \BizHawk\Shaders\xbrz\shaders\*.cg \BizHawk\Shaders\xbrz\xbrz-freescale-multipass\*.cg Bizhawk doesn't let me load CG files but it does let me load CGP files and when I try to load one of them I now get this error:

Heya, where do I get a xBRZ shader to use in Bizhawk? Also the HQx and Scanline filter options seem to do nothing when enabled, are they incompatible with Direct 3D? I know there's https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders/tree/master/xbrz/shaders but if I put the files and subfolder in Bizhawks shaders folder and direct Bizhawk to load one of the shaders I get a "could not read file F:\Emulators\Nintendo\BizHawk\compat_includes.inc" error.

Curious if Bizhawk supports the HTS file format or only HTC. How would I go about converting a HTS file to HTC? Edit: i've heard the next release of Bizhawk will support HTS.

Downvote for incomprehensible plot (Japanese?!), even the Toad was trying to speak Japanese but thankfully a Goomba came along and realized what was happening and shunted Toad away just kidding... An excellent video, thanks for making it.

Fullscreen hotkey defaults to Alt+Return which doesn't work with my keyboard and it's apparently not the same as Alt+Enter which is what it changes to when I rebind it to Alt+Enter. Edit: I'm not even sure how it came to be set to Alt+Return in the first place. The reset to defaults button leaves it as Alt+Enter. What does Bizhawk think a Return key is? I've only ever seen Return and Enter being used interchangeably for the same button.

Hmmm... that still doesn't seem to work. It does produce a OSD message that the speed has changed to the value specified in the LUA file and the throttle % in the Config>Speed/Skip menu changes. Would vsync prevent it from having any effect? Edit: Yes, it does. Make sure vsync isn't forced by the display driver. Thank you very much for the working example, it's greatly appreciated :) Now if only audio didn't pop when speed was in excess of 60 >.>

Am still looking for any info on what to do. Lol I just realized I linked to Majora's Mask for the first code... Whoops! Still, the PJ64 codes for OoT don't work or rather they work but not correctly, it makes you always levitate instead of only when holding L. Edit: looks like only 811DAA90 40CB code works while the D01C84B5 0020 code is what is unsupported and that is what ties the behaviour to the L button.

Hmmm, I put all of that in a text file with a LUA extension and I get a error:
NLua.Exceptions.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:2: function arguments expected near 'local'
If I exclude the first line specifying the language I get:
NLua.Exceptions.LuaScriptException: [string "main"]:10: 'do' expected near 'emu'
I've... never used LUA scripts via Bizhawk before, I assume I'm supposed to go to Tools > LUA Console and open the script there. A game is running during these attempts.

What's with the different cutscene text in the old run and the new run? Are you not using the same ROM? The section by section video was excellent stuff, thanks for the content.

How do I set the Speed Throttle to between 100 and 150%? I'd like to play N64 games at a faster speed so the frame rate is smoother, but 150% is a little too fast when it comes to handling the gameplay.

If you 1) Switch to Direct 3D. 2) Disable Vsync. 3) On the "Window" tab disable the Enable Windows Fullscreen Hacks option. then you should get the fastest input response possible. You may also need to 1) Right-Click the programs EXE file. 2) Click Properties. 3) Click Compatibility tab. 4) Then tick "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations".

This has probably been reported before, but the changelog says the faster LUA option no longer has memory leaks but the application GUI still mentions it suffers from memory leaks.

Then
Since your config file is corrupted or from a different BizHawk version, we're going to recreate it. Back it up before proceeding if you want to investigate further.
I dunno if that first error is the result of the 2nd error.

Why is there a custom UI for the N64 video plugins? GLideN64's native UI (unless what PJ64 also displays is custom) is a million times better than Bizhawk's custom UI. 1) You get detailed tooltips for every single option (as far as I know). With Bizhawk you get no tooltips for anything. 2) You get more options. 3) The UI is better laid out. Especially with regards to custom textures.
