fs are the initials of my full name, vgm stands for videogamer and 777 is what I consider the "ultimate lucky number" (i.e. if you get 777 on a slot machine, you get the jackpot). That's basically it.

So here's something weird I noticed about this game: Apparently, the stage music changes depending on the input you make before entering it. Here's a movie with the exact frame count, but different input before Stage 1 (I got rid of a few Right + A inputs before entering Stage 1) Suddenly, the music is different than what's in the test run I posted a few days ago. On that note: This song is surprisingly awesome. (FLAC format)

I've decided myself to make a test run of the first level. Link to video However, since I used BizHawk and WST used Gens, I don't know if it's faster or slower than WST's testrun.

There are difficulty settings in this game (Mario 3) (опции (options) -> сложность (difficulty)): легко (Easy), нормально (Normal) and тяжело (Hard). (it seems to be on Easy when you boot the game). It also has a dumb control scheme where the run and fire buttons aren't on the same button by default and the jump button is inbetween them (irrelevant in a TAS).

A translation of Spikestuff's post follows: UTILISE LA VERSION CORRECTE "À cause de la fréquence d'images inférieure (50 Hz) et le fait que les jeux ne sont normalement pas modifiés pour compenser cela, les versions PAL des ROMs ne sont en général pas préférées, sauf s'il y a des mérites techniques et/ou de divertissement importants pour l'utilisation de cette version. Voyez Rygar et Blaster Master pour des exemples d'une bonne utilisation de la ROM PAL." "Ca dépend de l'autuer de faire le calcul et d'élaborer sur les différences de version durant le processus de soumission. Plus d'informations vous présentez, plus il sera facile de juger votre vidéo." Sauf si tu peux fournir des preuves que [la version] PAL est plus rapide (elle n'est pas pour ce jeu), utilise la version NTSC ou renonce à ce TAS.

So I read something interesting about this game on the developer's memorial site: "Zero Tolerance was the very first, First-person Shooter (FPS) for any video game console. Randel Reiss*, the owner of the Zero Tolerance copyright and trademark, has made the original Zero Tolerance Sega Genesis ROM image royalty-free for distribution. Portions of the ROM image are copyright Sega and although Sega has not actively prevented royalty-free dsitribution, they have never official granted permission for distribution." *founder of Technopop, the developer of this game So....would it in fact be fine to link to the ROM in this case? (note that I haven't linked to the memorial site yet, as it does contain a link to the ROM)

I've been listening to the entire 東方紅輝心 (Touhou Koukishin) OST. Here's a very small taste of what's in the OST (the entire soundtrack is 2:06:30.635 long, as it's 2 discs): Link to video

I suggest we stay on the properly romanised Japanese title; that is, Kyatto Ninden Teyandee. The game was never released outside of Japan anyway. Besides, the game title on the previous publication is wrong, as it really should be the above, not Cattou Ninden Teyandee (which would be written as ッ党忍伝てやんでえ in Japanese instead of キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ).

Uh...other than the clone glitch and the Metroid Prime bypass, what glitches were used at all? :o
I removed the "Heavy glitch abuse" category. Thanks for pointing it out.

For what it's worth, the "kill screen" occurs in VICE 2.4 (both regular and x64sc) as well (tested with them running at 20% speed and save stating occasionally). So it seems more like it's a bug in the game rather than an emulator bug.

Just as a note: The run is 1:37.16 long, per WolframAlpha (a PAL C64 runs at 985248/63/312 FPS, which is around 50.1245 FPS).

From their most recent news post: "Sorry everyone for the recent prolonged downtime - Amazon changed their atlantic IP addresses, and we were caught in the sweep. Hopefully this should mean a return to normal now, but if you get any problems, please leave me a message on our facebook group. Apologies again! ~~Scott, 06 Aug 2014, 09:11"

So I made a 10bit444 encode. This, however, doesn't mean I'm back to encoding/publishing duties (at least not yet).

Which is weird, because I managed to watch it on my Windows 7 laptop just fine. Didn't even have to mess around with the settings.
Can you dump it for me?
Sure. http://www.mediafire.com/download/fmfp5rm9k9amhcs/tseralith-spelunky-avidump.7z

I liked this run a lot for many reasons (except the music...).)
The music in this game (at least in Arrange Mode) is really hit-and-miss. Songs like Bloody Tears sound really good and fit the game (not to mention it plays in a very fitting moment). Vampire Killer (in Arrange Mode) sounds like it'd be better suited in a disco than in such a game. And then there's....Wicked Child in Arrange Mode. Anyway, pretty nice run. Voting yes. EDIT: It's available on Nico Nico Douga: Link to video And it already has almost 20000 views there as of this writing.

Here's the IPS patch. (patch to the (JU) ROM) Anyway, the TAS was well made, but I found it a bit on the boring side. I vote Meh.

(Don't tell me that the goal was to unlock flip mode...)
I don't think the original intent was to unlock this mode, as all it does is flip the game vertically, so it's pretty cosmetic. The crew members being saved and saying post-completion dialogue proves that it did indeed reach a completion state, unlike the Pokémon glitched ending run. Now that this is clear for me, I can safely give my Yes vote, as it was well done. I was just a bit concerned about this issue.

Well, according to the game and the VVVVVV wiki, you need to complete the game to unlock Flip Mode. Though, I did notice all the crew members are saved. So....I guess this is a case of "game complete", save for a locked mode? I guess it's better to see what the others (and Masterjun) have to say on this particular issue.
