I read a few paragraphs out of this thing you're writing here.
These are the things I can understand and find relevant to my existence. It's not specifically related to TAS in the end, but it justifies my interest in it as well. I'm gonna quote random stuff related to that.

People born free, they do natural things when they are children, then they study lies and other bad behaviour. Thus they need a law. But simple laziness doesn't allow us to stay as free in mind as we were back then. We invent silly excuses to our weaknesses and create false mental reality around ourselves. We create false laws in our heads, which appear not to be actual laws, but our vision of what's possible, permitted. Superstitions. Stereotypes.

Sorry, I still don't understand how exactly it distinguishes TASVideos from other gaming communities. Except the fact that, uh, we don't really cultivate the culture of playing games here. Instead we remember the olden days when we used to play these games... and then proceed creating sequences for emulators to play these games instead of us, after which we pretend it's a superhuman playing the game as we sit and watch. But surely it is not the kind of distinguishing feature you're trying to get across, is it?
I'll reiterate: why do you think it's us here who create the warmth of joyful playing while being free from superstitions, and not any other gaming community? Because we break the games better? Well, that's hardly our achievement, considering the power of tools at our disposal. I can also be free of superstitions and fly a plane to become closer to birds and experience the warm sensation of flight, while some puny BASE jumpers continue their vain attempts to move in a direction other than straight down.

@mapler90210:
It might be worth noting that in this game the extra height that you can gain from damage-boost is very small, so make sure you start jumping from the slope as high as possible while you are still able to reach the ledge with the horizontal momentum gained from the damage-boost.
Exactly. He needs to find the optimal place to jump so Soma goes the highest but also staying close to the ledge. The axe just gives a final small horizontal push.

As far as I can remember, the hardest part is to find the perfect position to jump (backdash+jump).

What can anyone tell me about using the Axe Armor's axe to damage boost into the room with a Catoblepas and Copper Plate? I've tried it quite a bit, both in real time and in frame advance, but I can't seem to get it to work.
yep, I used that in my old run

"Emulation is the process of mimicking the outwardly observable behavior to match an existing target. The internal state of the emulation mechanism does not have to accurately reflect the internal state of the target which it is emulating."
Emulator authors aren't responsible for hardware issues. I believe they try to accurately reproduce the logical state of the machines. If there's an error to be imitated, it's a logical error.
Do you see what the TASes here say? "Abuses PROGRAMMING errors". You don't see 'Abuses HARDWARE errors"

Also... I'm not a hardware modification (or laser for that matter) expert, but isn't it theoretically possible for someone to modify or swap their gamecube's laser to have a resistance of 2 or 1 ohm? I know there's a "no hardware modifications" policy at SDA, but what's stopping someone from changing that 66 ohm down to a 55 ohm? That person could blame their "fast" load times on someone else's just being "slow".
There should be an "all or one" rule. If any gamecube is allowed in these runs, then I think the instant-loading Dolphin should be in the clear. But if there were a standardized model to prevent a laser swap and/or balance the playing field, then that's what the emulator should be based on.
This hardware thing is just the same as Left+Right input. Some may quickly jump and yell 'THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE WITH AN ORIGINAL CONTROLLER". Well it becomes possible after months of use, after the dpad center digs a depression in the board. You'll get all 4 directions pressed at the same time but that's enough in most cases.
Are those defective controllers allowed in SDA? I don't think so.

Why are you guys even discussing this stupid idea?

To run a movie of a disc-based game on real hardware would require some artifact to adjust the loading times correctly... not to perfectly copy the loading times because that is impossible to be accurately predicted.
Now please, STFU already.

When we record a movie 'from power on', it starts with a clean nvram. The problem is that the emulator doesn't record the Service button in the movie.

I would record a movie doing those cheats, but the emulator doesn't want to record the Service button...
I"ll try other version of the emulator.
Anyway after you do them all, you need to insert credits and press and hold start down for a few frames as you start the game for the 'time release' value to be set. If you don't hold the start button down, the value won't be set.
You can watch it at RAM address FF80EE (for the euro version). Full unlock has value = 4.
Only after the value is set you can reset and play the new modes.

By the way, SDR, what kind of cheat did you use? Emulator cheat (RAM modification)?
There are also command cheats that can be used in the test menu to enable the special modes.

You don't need to wait for the character selection screen like the site says, just hit the Service button and do them.
And you do need to enter then in that order (a code won't be accepted unless you've entered the previous one sucessfully)
