oh wait. you said frameskip was 0. you want it on automatic. 0 is unthrottled. you don't want to change it up and back down, you just want to decrease it one more time from there. Or you can hit Set Auto Frameskip (default F2) to set it there from any skip level.

I haven't watched this yet, but I see a lot of people saying they wish it was in English.
Is there enough text that subtitles would be useful? (as in Youkai Douchuuki)

incidentally, US bios 1.1 is recommended for segacd, as bios 2.0 made a few changes which caused a few earlier games to become incompatible, but all later games remained compatible with 1.1.
At this point, only some very minor hex-editing is necessary to make the movie sync on the 1.1 bios.
Edit: in fact, http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1997918946/ElectroEWJCD_1.1.gmv here's the movie file, corrected for bios 1.1

I'm using that same ROM. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I'm recording on an older Gens? (2.11)
Wait, are you on Linux? If not, why and how are you TASing on that version?
Anyway, they're all moot points now, since I will probably switch to the Sega CD version.
Because there were substantial emulation changes required to get SegaCD to sync at all. If you can't use the current version (gens rerecording 11a), or at least a minimum of gens rerecording 10, TASing the Sega CD version will be impossible.

@ Upthorn: I actually recorded the Andy Asteroids segment before you said that, so I recorded myself intentionally missing all the orbs (as well as "collecting" some asteroids). Collecting all of the orbs would satisfy myself as well, but at the same time I'm weighing that satisfaction against having to explain to people what a 100% run would entail (as I'm not really sure myself, considering I'd skip stuff like the snowman boss) and dealing with "well you could have just saved time by not collecting more than 49 orbs."
Err, yeah, actually "ignores delays caused by bonus effects" is the goal choice. combine with "speed/entertainment tradeoffs" and a short explanation in the submission and there should be no problem.
Here's a WIP of (except for the boss) WHAT THE HECK?. I implemented that time-saver, maTO, and it looks nice. Some improvements come from using the downward slopes that Jim slides down to gain horizontal speed. Other improvements come from jumping to different ends of platforms that are a bit lower (I'm comparing to Flip's run primarily).
I'm getting some serious desyncs in What the Heck, as well as a minor desync (corrected by adding 4 empty frames) before Andy Asteroids, using the "Earthworm Jim (U) [!].bin" rom image. What rom version are you using?

Any chance that the lua script could be modified to also include hyper sonic screen flashing? :)
ٍSo, it turns out the reason the screen flashes is to cover up a really disgusting graphical error with the first four frames of the sparks that I really can't see the cause of.
REPOST EDIT: Found and fixed it this script will cancel the screen flashes without causing a graphical error.

You haven't heard the number of people calling for its republication as a third category.
(Seriously, starting months before this run was even proposed)

With the help of this lua script nitsuja wrote to remove boring things like special stages, score tally, and the super sonic music, I have finally watched this (with the great help of . While there are a few route choices I'm unsure of (mostly having to do with the collection of giant rings), the quality of play is certainly up to site standards.
Furthemore, collection of all emeralds, and lack of tails certainly distinguishes it from the currently published sonic run, and sonic's moveset and level differences significantly differentiate it from the published all emeralds knuckles run.
The goal choice is not arbitrary, it limits him to the set of tricks that was used in SprintGod's widely lauded S3K TAS (with three exceptions, two of which are each only applicable to a single level).
Stylistically, it's a little bit lackluster, but hardly to the point that it should impede publication (as my own past submissions demonstrate).
I see no compelling reason not to vote yes.

I don't think so. The title bar says "Snes9X v1.51+ v6 (interim) for Windows".
I remember Snes9X 1.51 and ZSNES both having known desyncing issues which occur unpredictably. As far as I know, though, Snes9X 1.43 is still available and doesn't have this issue.

The goal isn't ambiguous (although misstated -- it should be underflow, not overflow), however, if it is violated in Lava Reef 2, it would be a flagrant violation of guidelines to publish this run.
I haven't taken the time yet to watch all the way through this run, mainly because I'm still kind of burned out on S3K after my last TAS, so it's hard for me to keep an interest in the run for more than a few minutes.

My personal opinion is that watching you deliberately miss orbs in Andy Asteroids would be more annoying than sitting through a bonus. Maybe you could get them all and call this 100%

Microsoft pulled VS2005 Express links from its site, although somehow it is possible to find them...but it is better to use VS2008 Express (or if you can wait until next year it is likely that VS2010 will also be made available in Express Editions)
Also you can still use the whole Visual Studio toolchain from Code::Blocks; it should even be able to automatically set it up.
It's actually better to use vs2005 with gens, because VS2008 program optimization breaks 32X savestates, where VS2005 optimization doesn't.

It seems like every time this TAS gets improved, half the levels of the game are replaced with new ones that I have no memory of from watching prior versions, or playing the game as a child.
Except for the train level.

Yeah, this is probably a good idea. So the page would look something like this page, with each link leading to a new page that holds RAM addresses for that particular game?
Yes. Precisely.

pirate_sephiroth: Why do you put so much effort into being annoying all the time? I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, or what you think you gain by it, but it sure isn't making anyone like you.

After having so many music suggestions rejected offhand by adelikat due to not being speed metal, I can't help but feel a bit smug that the speed metal is everyone's biggest complaint...
