Hi, it really took year to complete this TAS :D This is my 2nd try of this hack, but this time it's version 2.3 (latest version in normal)
Emulator used: Snes9x v1.43 +v13, sorry for the outdated version, but I started this TAS from long time ago!
Goal of the run:
Aim for fastest in-game timer (completed time is: 44:43.77)
Take damage to save time
Manipulated luck
Collect all items
Differences between v2.3 and v2.0:
Door transition has been speed up, that was why this TAS faster in realtime!
1 Super Missile and 1 Missile are now easy to get, without having to wait!
This Missile pack now can get from the bottom
v2.3 has 1 extra Missile pack (on the room next to Draygon, and requires killing all boss) therefore the final percentage now is 101%
Run details:
I decide to collect and refill as many Missiles as I can for the first boss Bomb Torizo, and yes, it's faster than just use Normal Beam!
Than I go for the 1st Super Missile. On this version, the author fixed Grappling Beam glitch to 1st Super Missile, so I have to use Bomb Jumping!
Because I have to kill all boss, I go straight to Kraid lair and kill Kraid for Speed Booster instead of going from the back.
Unlike my last run, that gets the 1st Power Bomb in Norfair, I go to Tourian and use "jump through ceiling" trick to get it, then collect 2 Unknown Items on the way back to Kraid lair, this way I saved 1 elevator waiting!
The "avoid scrolling" trick for Power Bomb in Kraid lair is now disable (or I must go from the right), this is slower than 1 second compares to my last run.
Now I go "suitless" to collect all items in Norfair and Ridley (save Ridley and 1 Energy Tank later)
Go to Chozodia for Gravity Suit. Plasma charged cannot register 2 hits to Torizo in this hack!
...
Special thanks:
SB: for creating this awesome hack :D:D:D
All friends for supporting me for my first try of this hack!
Please enjoy the run! :3:3:3
Nach: Apparently this TAS was started in August 2011, putting the majority of the work involved prior to the cut off date.

However this game is patched, and if you hard patch it, obviously you'll have different hashes.

I watched this last night during a bout of insomnia, and holy crap was I impressed. The new route for the new version is awesome, and I like how Phantoon and Kraid were worked into the new version of the hack.
Easy Yes vote, for Star tier.
Also, I know it's early, but I'm calling it right now: Speedy TAS of 2013, right here.
EDIT: The patch is available at Romhacking.net. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/742/
The hashes Nach posted are correct for patching.
Unlike my first submission, this run not only killing all bosses but also collect 1 extra Missile pack! The two long-wait items (1 Missile pack near Grapphing Beam, 1 Super Missile pack on the heigh room next to my 1st Energy Tank) are changed to get easier. Therefore the in-game timer is slower than 10 second, but the realtime is faster than 7 minutes (although I aimed for in-game timer!), so v2.3 is hard to compare to v2.0
Is there any merit to perhaps doing a run of the hard-type version of this hack?
Never mind, I really should have checked if the topic for this game had been updated first.

Chance of an encode?
I'm working on a YouTube encode right now.
EDIT: YouTube encode is here:
Link to video
EDIT2: Replaced encode due to sound issues. For reference purposes, here's the old one.

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
Encode looks to be working as of now. Watching, will comment after.
Edit: Yes vote. Nothing I can say that wasn't already said. Route's great, interesting throughout.
Watched the encode (thanks, Mothrayas!), and I must say, the run was quite insane. The Shinespark chains especially, it goes all over the place. Yes vote and easily one of the best and most action packed TASes I've seen in a while.
/Mothrayas: The sound appears to cut off during the credits in the encode.

Noted. I'll redo the encode soon. (Though for now, the current encode should be good enough just for watching the run).
EDIT: Replaced encode above. Everything should work properly now.

I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto.
TAS i'm interested:
Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS?
i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Not sure why, but the encode is automatically playing as soon as I load Page 1. Kind of irritating, since I've already watched the SMV.
I noticed this happen with other embedded YouTube videos on the forums too lately. I don't know what causes it.

The poll is to determine if you enjoyed the movie, not if you think it should get published. That decision is up to the judges. A run with 100% no votes can still be published if it meets the criteria for the vault. This run doesn't meet vault criteria, so it either gets published under moons (or less likely stars) or not at all.
