Just input the input 4 times (1 for each run) on the same frame.
Be sure to use that uhh.. movie converter thingy I heard about that allows a movie to be converted from a certain type to another. :D (Or maybe I'm going delusional)
Good luck trying to run three different emulators at once..
I can just imagine the pain of watching this.. so much Wario music.. @_@

I know. My input desyncs like almost every time I use it. I would consider that more of a Challenge than SNES9X TASes.
The challenge shouldn't be making the emulator work the way you want it to, but rather the challenge should be in making and finishing the run that obsoletes the current run. :)
Silly Lorenzo, ZSNES is for kiddies! (that casually play and don't TAS)

Yes, but the relevant question here is if the speedrun is entertaining enough to merit a publication.
Actually... the question is "Did you like watching this movie?" not "Do you think this should be published?". There's a noticeable difference between the two.
Besides, it is pitch dark. This movie is likely to be eaten by a grue.
Seriously though, your way of thinking confuses me. Chamale are you okay? Are you okay Chamale?

2 year+ bump for massive win!
There's a lot of old-console emulators that allow netplay/multiplayer..
If you're challenging someone though, go take on FODA for Battletoads :D

Does it really matter about the dialogue killing in-game time? This sounds a bit like the version differences. (ex: mm3 intro (J) vs (U) or something) Besides, a few seconds of text is a lot easier than having the N64's non-existent sound chip to emulate 20+ second dialogue.
With that said though, I've fooled around with StarCraft since interest in the game has perked up just to get a good feel around for the game.
I still believe that the PC version will probably have a faster time since there's more micro allowed (control groups, N64 only has 2). N64 doesn't allow as much since you're only using the analog stick, which is probably why they threw away the max of selecting 12 units at once (it's 18, if I recall correctly). :( I doubt having insane micro would help that much, although we'll see in a few days/weeks when someone (or myself) decides to run through BWT01.
The strategy I have for BWT01 is probably the same as the current on at SDA:
1. Send Samir Duran to cloak and weaken the CC
2. Support at the end, or earlier if possible, with marines/tanks
Alternate plan:
1. Send the two tanks to distract while building up a force of 8-10 marines to support Samir Duran in entering/securing the top right of the base.
Note: If there is a problem with reinforcements, try having two siege tanks (maybe have a SCV tag along to repair?) attack from the front to see if they can draw fire and call reinforcements down as opposed to having the reinforcements fight the marines/duran.
I was wondering how well micro can be used to extend the marine/tanks to help out Duran in weakning it, which would probably save a second or two, or perhaps even more but I'm worried that bringing those will cause reinforcements. My other worry is that Duran will be detected by the Turret or the SCVs decide to repair (which I assume is also what would happen if the player didn't counter with the tank/fbats at the northern wall.
I'll try something out tonight or tomorrow with that strategy and see how I do. Does anyone know what the time gained is from just the loss of dialogue and having text messages instead? I don't want to be too happy over a 13 second improvement over SDA's run if 12-13 seconds of it is from dialogue skipping. :(

I believe how the PC StarCraft timing system works is that it counts all in-game time provided the main menu (when you press Escape) is not up. So I think how the trick works is that you need to do the following:
1. Bring up the menu right when someone starts the dialogue
2. Wait. :)
3. Unpause when the conversation is almost over.. ?
That SHOULD reduce the game-time down, since the counter doesn't count when the menu comes up.
Yup.
Is anyone trying to run this or waiting on a runner (maybe me?) to start? o.o
Sidenote: So.. Terran BW or Zerg BW? Terran? YEAH?

Uhm well, where did he miss enemies?
He probably hasn't seen my Corneria run before, since there's 2-3 tricks he could've used to help him get a few +1s. His run also has a few things I didn't know about either, so I'll be working on a translation to explain to him about the techniques I discovered that will help. Or just give him a link and have him take a look at it.

He may miss some hit+1 but Vidar's first Corneria run for example wasn't flawless too!
... um.. Thanks? I revised it after you told me what was wrong with it and experimented with some things to help optimise my score. I'm sure nangosan can also revise his after I show him my video or explain to him what he missed. With our POWERS COMBINED... WE'LL BREAK 340 ON NORMAL (hopefully)

His playing style is very entertaining to me, precise and quick movement ...flying all over the screen wouldn't look very skilled in my opinion.
The reason I fly around the screen is because I get bored easily and there's this voice in my head that tells me to barrel roll. ALL. THE. TIME. ¬¬
Burning Death wrote:
...And at least someone is working on it who also has knowledge about the game!
I'm still working on it, but it's not at a very serious pace since I mostly try and optimise Meteo.
As a side question, how many more enemies are there in Corneria when it's on expert mode? He gets 377, while I get 337. A difference of 40 points, or 20 enemies with their hit bonus. However, since he missed a few points (mostly the ones that came from setting off triggers), I'm not sure what the actual difference is.

There's been a personality test that's been circulating around lately, so I guess I'm wondering what everyone else's personality is. ^^;

* moderately expressed introvert

* moderately expressed feeling personality
* moderately expressed judging personality
Yay for being moderately expressive!

Voted yes on a run well done.
Glad to see you've put the advice I gave to good use. Too bad it still isn't sub40 :[
Some parts look a bit unoptimised.. like dino world 3, upon activation of the pit-switch, you miss it and bounce twice before setting it off? A bit more, but that's about it.

Flame me if you like, but knocking someone's ability to write eloquently in English is kind of childish.
I believe there's a difference when the speaker who cannot speak/write English eloquently refuses to learn/change his mistake (which creates an attitude problem that other people might be miffed about) as opposed to a more humble person that understands his/her fault in speaking/writing English a particularly way.
Sidenote: Naturally, "region" writing/speaking styles may tend to be an exception (color, colour, center, centre, etc), but I don't think that tends to cause a problem.

JXQ, why do you even bother comming to this forum anymore?
It seems like 1/3 or 1/2 of your post are attacks at Phil either direct or indirect. You say buy him a dictionary, I see nothing wrong in his english. I understand his words. If you can't, maybe you are the one who should get a dictionary.
Aside from that, starting a Dictionary fund? Making fun of someone about their english? What are you in grade 6? Seriously, go back to elementary school before visiting here again and stop bothering us with these childish acts.
I took the liberty to point out some faults since it seems you are rather confident in your command of English.
