Even though this run was really long, I still enjoyed watching it. The battles impressed me.

No, he means which graphics card is built into your computer. DirectX is just a graphical frontend required for a lot of games. Go to Start->Run, then type in "devmgmt.msc". Double-click on Graphics Card, and there you are.

Oh yeah, do I remember the ghost boss in the Uncanny Mansion. This one is one of the hardest final bosses in this game. In my opinion, the easiest final boss is the one in "Invade Wario Castle". By the way, excellent run right there. It entertained me a lot.

Hey, improvements are improvements, even if it's only one frame. It's still a good run.

Go to Options -> Display Configuration (hotkey: Alt+F5). There, you'll see that frame skipping is set to Fixed. Set it to Automatic, and the game should run at normal speed.

Gah... I just realised I confused myself. The run is 5:17.11 with the PAL (E) timing while the record is 4:57.33 with the NTSC (JU) timing. Since you used the (E) version, even though a (JU) version of the game exists, it's going to be rejected in a matter of hours, in my opinion. To mods/admins: Please change the time from 4:24.92 to 5:17.11.

That vid was made on a PAL version with NTSC timing so it's faster than it should be. Needless to say this vid will be rejected soon.
Yep. The run is 5:17.11 long according to the converted FM2 file. So it's slower than the existing record, which is 4:57.33.

Baxter, I'm afraid to say that the music doesn't change after getting 999999 points. One fine example is this video where indeed 999999 points are gotten, but the music doesn't change at all. Plus, this was played on a Super Game Boy, not on an emulator.

Honestly, i don't know why the music changes. When i write that i did not make it in one shot, i mean that i used snaphot. I can understand that you are not interesting in doing 9999 lines in tetris...
So you used a snapshot, aka savestate in emulator jargon. I think I know now why the music changes. You either had a game over or the savestate you used changed the background music.

OK, here are my honest opinions about this video: Why does the music change when you get 999999 points? Plus, your description perplexes me. You write you didn't make it in one shot. Does that mean you got a game over? Finally, playing Tetris until you reach 9999 lines doesn't sound like an interesting concept for me. It would look boring.

Translation for those who can't speak French: "I speak French. Perfectly. PM me to give me your MSN, I'll help you." Par ailleurs, moi aussi, je parle français, mais je n'ai pas TASé un jeu pour l'instant. (By the way, I speak French either, but I haven't TASed a game at the moment.)

Pokemon never appeared on a Genesis system when they first debuted.
Exactly. They're a trademark of Nintendo and Game Freak. Plus, it's a pirated game, which means that Nintendo and Game Freak never gave the permission to the company who made this game to make a game based on Pokemon for the Mega Drive/Genesis. Lastly, Pokemon on Mega Drive/Genesis is awkward by itself, because back then (around the mid-90s), Nintendo and Sega were both concurrencing video game companies.

I haven't watched this yet because my collection is NES rather than Famicom, but I wonder if anyone has seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We2sYmyxOPw. From first input to last input, it does indeed appear to be 14:17 as it claims. Is that guy's video faster than this run?
The video you've linked to doesn't collect all the fruits in all the bonus stages. One of the game objectives, according to the submission message, is to get a perfect completion, which means collecting all the fruits in all the bonus stages. Aside from that, it's indeed a good run, klmz.

Well done. Giving themes for each racetrack is a nice idea. I really enjoyed watching this run.

This is definitely one of the best tool-assisted speedruns I've ever seen. Before someone asks why he is jumping in mid-air: The effect of the space jump allows Mario to jump in mid-air. Furthermore, it isn't cheating since it's an in-game object which can be collected. Same goes for the super fire, which can break brick blocks. In my opinion, this movie should be published.

Not only this, his French is really bad. Good French would look like this: "Voici un autre TAS en utilisant Mupen64 version rerecord. Ayez du plaisir en le regardant." which means: "Here's another TAS using Mupen64 rerecord. Have fun watching it"
