I goofed and made an "interim" build instead of a release build. Also we noticed that opening the N64 plugin dialog when a game is not loaded throws an exception. So I made a 1.6.0a release that fixes these issues and updated the previous post to link to that binary.
There are now >44000 people, and the twitch chat lag is affecting the game. The input stream comes in bursts at this point.
People were saying there is going to be a war between tasvideos and SDA. I thought it was a troll.
Functionally, yes. Using a save file (with the parts unlocked through AR) instead of AR during the run does however mean that the viewer can be sure AR isn't used for anything during the run, such as increasing top speed or such.
Are you using dual core or something? That definitely should not be necessary.
I don't believe in making exceptions like this for a game just because it's popular. I mean, I understand making exceptions like when to start from a savefile and all, but using cheats? Wasn't there already a thread debating on the "legit-ness" of using uninitialized RAM? Kinda odd if using AR codes ends up being considered "legit" but not starting at an arbitrary RAM state.
Also if there is jp only parts why dont you use the jp game
What's the deal with the custom parts in the Japanese version? Yes, there are 15 parts to make custom ships available only in the Japanese version of F-Zero GX and only if you participated in the event where they were given away (they can't be unlocked there normally either). You can, however, use Action Replay to unlock them on your file. Enjoy.
Finally, MUGG mentioned the save file being corrupted for him in Dolphin 3.0. Does that happen to you, hegyak? :o
But why are you starting with time trials? Isn't it a better idea to unlock some faster vehicles first. Black Bull can be unlocked doing story, and it's a fairly good snaking vehicle. I get that speed is irrelevant for the verification movie, but a shorter movie file will make verifying easier and less desync-prone.
