original version:
TEH URN! Here's my New Super Mario Bros. Wii TAS I started 4 months ago (July) This beats Soig old TAS by unknown time, because he used an old dolphin revision where loading times weren't accurate, so his movie is faster, but in most of levels, IG time are faster, so this run is the most up-to-date one!

Games Objectives

  • Emulator Used : Dolphin 4.0-3260
  • Genre: Platform
  • Dual Core : OFF
  • Idle Skipping: OFF
  • Free DSP Dolphin ROMS
Game name is: NEW Super Mario Brothers Wii ISO [NTSC].iso
  MD4: 56cec75305dfd8ac1bf5c15ec858cba6
  MD5: 4dde70f22cfbb7fcfec6b6f57f65bb6c
SHA-1: 7c47e4230896beedd5904ba54ba05a477242b0c4
(now, in new dolphin you can use any Wii ISO, in old, you was needing the exact ISO to play it back, I thanks Soig choosing an iso which was only on a site, which was the only one to sync on old dolphin

Tricks

Faster Propeller

If you shake the wiimote without pressing the running button, you'll use the propeller a bit faster

Moving while ground pound

If you ground pround then press move button, you'll move very very very slightly. Only used in 1-1
To be Completed

Stage per Stage Comment

1-1 : Thanks to Tehseven using a strat which saves a lot of time!
1-2 : Compared myself to the Niconico video Rachel Posted, this level was kinda hard to optimise, mostly on slopes!
1-3 : Using propeller to take the warp to 5-1
5-1 : Nothing to say
5-RNG : yeah, equaled Soig, RNG is not avoidable here :p
5-3 : Taking 5-3 instad of 5-2 because 5-3 is shorter than 5-2. New strat where I ground pound to skip using propeller once, which saves a bit of time
5-Castle : Propeller to get easily on top of level and shortly
5-4 : Skipping autoscroll
5-Boo: I saved a few frames, but nothing else to say. Taking a warp.
8-1 : Slides, slides,slides,slides,slides etc
8-7 : Kinda autoscroll, so I tried to do my best on entairtaining!
8-Doomship: Using the wiimote shaking to open the doors, everything is frame perfect, tried entairtainement on boss lel.
8-Castle : The fucking worst level for me. I'm kinda not proud for this, I lost time between soig, because I tried for several hours, and couldn't manage to get it, I guess it's a dolphin problem, normally Bowser shoots fireball way more faster. !

Informations & Thanks

Desyncs : I'd say about 15 (yes thanks) Thanks to: Soig for his first TAS and some of his good ideas Dolphin to his desyncs Everyone in the topic who contributed (CoolKirby for sync test, and anyone for feedback!) My brain My heart for the desyncs abahbob for his RAM watch tutorial Fog for building my avsyncs

Nach: Judging.

Nach: Replacing movie with a faster one from author: <Got4n> i'm stupid

Nach: This run is a bit slower than its predecessor, but much of that can be chalked up to emulator differences. According to Spikestuff's calculations, this run saves time where it actually counts. Overall, this run looks to have more consistent play than its predecessor, and the audience seems to be a lot more satisfied with it.
This run features a lot more segments which appear to be done very well, and was noticeably improved in quite a few levels. While the amount of noticeable issues (at least to me) are not non-existent, they are fewer in number, and apparently less noticeable than last time going by the audience's comments.
I hope these things will be improved in a future run. The key idea for improvement is to realize the following rule: Sometimes doing something slower or with less force saves time in the end. This can manifest itself in a number of ways:
  • Jumping lower or shorter while doesn't get you as far does allow you to jump again sooner, or perhaps bounce off of enemies.
  • Lowering speed which progresses slower initially can avoid crashing into walls, thus allowing for faster movement later.
  • Instead of looking at the most obvious way to reach some location, track back from that location, mapping backwards the fastest move to reach that point ahead, and see how to adjust the current play for what comes later - even though it looks suboptimal at this point in isolation.
Personally I think even a first run should be a bit more polished, but I'll go with the audience that it's polished enough. Weakly accepting for first run of this game.
fsvgm777: Processing. Note: It's going to take a fair bit of time.
fsvgm777: Dropping, as I keep running into graphical issues. Note to whoever's willing to encode it: You need to edit the DTM to enable EFB copies to RAM (open it in the DTM Editor and set EFB Texture to "RAM") in order for most objects to animate (like ? blocks or floating coins). I can at least confirm that it syncs fine with this setting set in the DTM on 4.0-3601 (you normally won't need the a/v sync hack for this one, since "proper" a/v sync was introduced in 4.0-3595).
RGamma: Publishing...
Fog: Third time's the charm! Processing...

Is there a file named "movie-1.avi" (and for that matter, "movie-2.avi", "movie-3.avi" and so on) in the same directory as the script? Error code 2 indicates AviSynth couldn't find the file. If there's no such file, could you show us the contents of the directory the script is in?

Common sense tells me you don't need that comma.

Ok. Everythings fixed now and I play the video and the audio never plays on Media Player. Then I tried Virturaldub and there is a desync in the audio!

Update: I fixed the audio desync! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Another update: VirturalDub is now encoding a synced encode of this movie. Will take some time. I may need to compress it a bit more.

So What's the best way encode this movie without a large file size?

I might be able to help. How did you obtain the original capture (what codec/settings (if applicable) did you choose specifically)? What was the desync like (constant offset, increasing offset, seemingly random)? How did you fix it? Where are you stuck now? You can reply here or via PM.

I'm stuck on getting the file size smaller. I might need to decompress it. I go into virtual dub and there is an option to sync audio and video together.

Err, mind coming to IRC? Any editing with VirtualDub shouldn't be necessary at all. Just visit Freenode (http://tasvideos.org/IRCChannel.html and type "/q RGamma" for private chat.)

Encoding of this movie will be started saturday by either Samlaptop or me, so expect publication next week.

What resolution is your dump from Dolphin? Is it at least lossless?

I understand your frustration, but try to be a little nicer - e is trying to help with something everyone else was struggling with, and appears to be doing a pretty good job of it. E'll only get more comfortable with the process over time, there's no to scare em off.

Sad news. I tried dumping on my desktop and now my graphics card isn't working, and yesterday I tried dumping on my laptop and I had black frames and now the game doesn't load on Dolphin and I can't even re-dump. So until I get my desktop sorted I'll have to keep fixing the game on my laptop and dump with a different encoder. Update: I am downloading a different ISO from a different source to see if things will work better. Update: dumping with a different lossless encoder. Update: I am dumping with Lagarith and I check my frame dumps in the dump folder as it's dumping and they seem to be appearing just fine now. So the videos should be ready later. Update: Sorry but it looks like RGamma will be dumping it now instead as my laptop can't handle dumping Wii movies unfornatley. I will however be dumping the 100% TAS of Abe's Exoddus when Dooty and I have finished it. Update: I got Dolphin recognizing my NVidia GPU so I'm dumping a little faster now with h264. Hopefully I'll get a good frame dump this time! Update: Sorry but my laptop won't dump properly so now RGamma will be dumping it.

Woa, it got to be hard publishing a Wii game... Anyways, I think it's a better idea to TAS a hack of this game, like Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii.

What does Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii have over the original, that makes it worth having an entry here at TASVideos?
I like Doraemon
