Since no other system's emulator is as close to completion, the Wii version seems to be the choice for the time being. For once, may we please have a run that collects all of the Chaos Emeralds? Let's see, 50 Rings to make a giant Ring appear at the end of the level to jump into... Say, when all the episodes are released, should they all be done in one playthrough, like with Sonic 3 & Knuckles? Oh marzojr...Upthorn...Nitsuja...!
Why, oh, why do I even <i>try</i> to understand my own species?

Oh, and here I thought that this movie and this movie collected all Chaos Emeralds... guess I was wrong. [/sarcasm] I won't speculate on the legality of that, though.

Yes, I know, but there're too many Sonic runs that don't collect all the Chaos Emeralds.

Yep, those non-chaos-emerald-collecting runs sure are keeping you from finding the runs that get all the emeralds! Yup yup yup. (Maybe if the bonus stages weren't so dull and the requirement to actually use Super Sonic meant he wasn't useful because of route deviations, there'd be more use of him e.g. in Sonic 2)

*sigh* I meant that, in comparison to the amount of TAS-ed Sonic runs on this site, too few of them are 100%. *grumbles about own species* I can hardly await the day a Dreamcast emulator that TASes can be made on comes along...

I tried "TASing" this game by simply saving an input file, but when you open it, it doesnt play back. im not sure if any wii games get their input files saved, but i tested melee (same rev ofc), and it worked just fine. edit: oh and sonic 4 runs nearly perfect (and my computer isnt that great)

Dolphin doesn't support wiimotes for TAS. This was true some time ago and your test proves it's still correct.

If someone is going to do this, then I would suggest that they use a clean version of the game since it has been reported that some versions of the game havent been downloaded properly and cause screen issues. However I suggest we wait a while before TASing this so that we dont get a lawsuit. >_<

At any rate, I think we may be waiting a while for a good Dreamcast emulator. :/

What does Dreamcast have to do with Sonic 4 is beyond me.

N. Harmonik mentioned how he can hardly await a Dreamcast Emulator. I was commenting on that.

You could at least try quoting the post you were replying to, considering three more people had already posted after that without going further off-topic. Which is actually something I would like you to do in the first place: not going off-topic.

MY SPOON IS TOO BIG. Anyone else not really enjoy this game? It seems the hazards and enemies were put in places just to fuck you over. Unfair is the name of this game. Nice attempt, though :D

I'm female. And back to Sonic 4, even if emulators for the other systems this game is on could work, the Wii version has one advantage when it comes to speed; you don't get interrupted by notifications of Achievements/Trophies.

Insults don't really bother me much. You get used to it when you have nothing to do with the "In Crowd" in school. But he's right, I should have quoted.

I hate to jump to conclusions, but Episode 2 is not going to be on WiiWare. Blame it on technical limitations. We're gonna have to wait for PS3 and Xbox 360 TASing. I wonder if Hourglass can work with Steam.

Awesome job! I can't wait to see more of this. Do you think you'll go for a full game run eventually?

A full game TAS of it wouldn't be hard, but I'm not really interested on it yet. But I'll probably do it soon, after finishing the TASes I'm currently working :P
