And what about an easy-to-use, in-emulator, ISO-based disc switching?
Have you tried just saving to a memory card, then loading that memory card in a separate movie file?
a) I believe submitting two movie files in one submission is not allowed under TASvideos rules
and
b) there's no way to save in between discs. You can only save before and after.

I'm afraid WIP updates will be very infrequent as I'm dealing with a lot here at home. Anyway, I managed to fix the desync (finally) just after the rappel, but that means I have to redo everything else which is still forthcoming :(

All I've seen of this is the first ten minutes that were posted on Youtube. All I have to say is this:
This is exactly the reason why you do not contract a discount rent-a-cop business to guard your top-secret military installation.
Those guards I'm sneaking around are the guys who staged the coup against the (logically) even more incompetent force protecting Shadow Moses Island in the first place.
Basically, the Next-Gen Special Forces had a fourth-wall breaking psychic, a shaman, a Kurdish sniper, a Soviet spaghetti-Western magnum enthusiast/Xanatos roulette master, a Stanislavski method actor and a faux-British wangst-ridden clone on their side. Otherwise the NGSF and US military were evenly matched :P
The game is surprisingly balanced, in that if you're stupid enough to get caught they will thoroughly beat your ass down. The AI is nowhere near on the level of MGS2 but it's still more or less a game over on the highest difficulty.

The voting process is one of the most nerve-wracking, yet intensely rewarding events the site has to offer. I can't tell you how often seeing my run judged on the workbench has inspired me to work harder (that horrible Asterix run for one) or become immensely proud of my run like a parent seeing his child perform at a recital (my SoT improvement).
Whether or not it's truly ethical or democratic, voting and judging is the emotional payoff (or burnout) that TASing is all about. I say keep it.

Yeah, but I'm not supposed to be killed by them :( Shit, huge desync.
Explaining that - Kojima ingeniously only counts "being caught" as the amount of times one goes into Alert Mode. The sentry guards are outside and can't raise the alarm, and being caught by turret cameras doesn't raise the alarm either. Genius! >_>

The gap between me first seeing Morimoto's run and discovering TASvideos was pretty long. I remember thinking at the time that it simply looked insanely impressive. Of course this was before I was even into console speedrunning so I just took it at face value. When I "found out" as you'd say, I didn't feel cheated or anything. It just sounded...interesting :P

I have emerged from the shadows of obscurity! Here's my latest wip, up until the Hind D fight, on which I am going to be using an older-than-dirt trick to get the chopper stuck in one spot during the second half of the fight.
Anyway, I would definitely appreciate an encode for this one error1, as my CPU and memory suck for this part :(
I also fixed the desync a long time ago DDRKhat, so no worries there :)

As much as I loved watching this run, I have to vote meh due to the tech problems already mentioned. Since the question changed from "did you enjoy this movie" to "do you think this should be published", my vote changes with it.
This is the best movie I've ever voted meh on ;)
I really hope someone does an optimized any% or all-levels version of this.

I'have just saw the wip.. I love how he avoid the mine :)
on the sniper fight, does there some extra domage with headshot?
You'd think so, but no there isn't. In fact, when Wolf's in certain positions her head won't even have a hitbox, like the last position she took before I killed (er, drove away?) her. I wanted to end it with a perfect headshot but the damn hit wouldn't register :(

A quick progress update: basically the game is painfully easy from jailbreak up to (sadly not including) the communications tower. I've posted a new WIP on the very first post, a temporary one, which has me saving in Nuke Building B1, in order to compare times between my run and the SDA run. Currently it's 0:37 vs. 0:43, although considering the MGS timer I'm hesitant to say I'm truly six minutes ahead. Might be more or less.
I also saved a chaff in the snowfield. On the second time round there are less claymores so I can go through without using a chaff.
Will submit a proper WIP in this post once I reach the communications tower. See you then!
EDIT: Okay, up to the comm tower is all done. Now I need to study :(

Huge progress today to celebrate (?) a study binge, being ever closer to exams :(
Here's a truckload of new content, ending after I save in the jail cell, past the torture scene. This isn't an official WIP per se; while it's final in terms of input I want the encode to come later, when I'm at the communications tower.
So for those of you not-lazy enough to have PCSX, enjoy :)

Psycho Mantis has been taken care of. I like how he ends up falling in his chair :)
Check it out here.
This was a big pain to get right...let's just say that hmmm? :P

I stumbled on this awesome screencap opportunity. Even though it's from an old version of the Mantis fight I still can't resist putting this as the potential screenshot for my run:

Workbench: "This stupid TAS you should stop, you'll never meet me at the top!"
Sami: "No."
Wow, it's really here? I'll give it a look once I finish the single-player campaign of Duke Nukem Forever and pick up that brand-new Pink Floyd album from HMV.
Okay, I'm back. ;)
This is my kind of run! I have a sort of in-between viewpoint when it comes to this run, So my analysis here is going to be mostly from an entertainment standpoint.
While I'm familiar with the series and its characters, I haven't actually played any games in the series. Even after seeing how humourously broken Mumbo's Mountain was in an old WIP, I wasn't wholly convinced that a Rare collectathon could make a good TAS. I was anticipating this run because I wanted to be proven wrong about that, and you didn't disappoint. So I'm gonna be taking that ever-so-rare "I like this TAS because it's good" stance as opposed to "I like this TAS because it's Banjo Kazooie".
Thoughts related to the game that crossed my mind while watching this run:
- The pickings must be few and far between around Spiral Mountain if Gruntilda's the second-prettiest female in town ;)
- Kazooie has to be the strongest fucking bird in history. Seriously, she's able to carry a bear on her back for ridiculously long stretches, not to mention being able to somehow maintain her aerodynamic abilities whilst half her body is stuffed in a rucksack and said bear putting quite a load on her back. Let's see Charles Atlas do THAT!
- Does anyone else find it unnerving that all the NPCs speak in third-person? I mean it makes sense for characters like Mumbo who are stereotypically tribal, but come on, I was half-expecting you to enter a children's-TV level to the triumphant cry of "This is Elmo's world!"
-
Notes on the run itself:
- This was a much better game choice to TAS than I thought. The art style, soundtrack and varied gameplay are virtually ADD-proof. I mean really, who can get bored with a mission that has you protecting Christmas lights?
- The route and tactics are always interesting and surprising, like running past a jiggy only to pick it up while flying and skip the collection animation.
- When you sequence broke, it actually LOOKED like it was breaking the game. This is especially welcoming for the morons like me who haven't played Banjo Kazooie yet. I found myself laughing in astonishment, wonder and general amusement at some of the glitches you pulled off.
- The pepper-eating contest could get a bit boring when you stopped going for dicking-around-ery and ended up trying to get maximum peppers instead. Maybe there should have been an overall theme to the entertainment? Eh, who am I kidding, I'm just nitpicking now.
This is run is excellent, Sami! Voting 9.8 for entertainment, abstaining on tech since I don't know the game well enough.

Highly entertaining (and equally confusing) run that was enjoyable. I just wish I could understand what was going on :(
Voting yes regardless.
