Is this "posting random facts about the game that everybody knows"- day? If so I'm in: There is a shortcut between Ikana and the swamp!

If you play that song backwards, it slows down time, baby!

Just because someone does something you don't agree with doesn't mean so you should start copying that! Please stop this. The forum is sending out notifications for posts that are pointless.

Nice one EEssentia, but I think you missed the point. Your fact has to be about the game in topic.

I found a way to clip through the fence outside the observatory. I asked about it in #zelda, but no one seemed to know about it. Don't know if it could be helpful... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48454461/ofc.avi If you want to speculate the input or whatever, here's an archive with the m64 file along with the required savestate: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48454461/ofc.zip

this has been known already. Console speedrunners simply never use it due to it being pretty hard to pull off. There has never been made a TAS, that had to go to the observatory, so TASers used it neither in the past. I hope you keep searching, though ;) would be cool to see some new tricks for any%.

Argh, what a waste of time (TASing 3D games is really hard for me). But you weren't on #zelda at the time, so I couldn't ask you :( Anyway, I found two more... things, but they're even more likely to have already been found, and are probably even more useless than the fence clip. Gainer (Zora) from stairs to top of the Clock Town Inn Jump atop the laboratory glassware in the Marine Research Lab - I was hoping for a quicker way to get on top of the fish tank, but you basically can't do anything while standing on the glassware... (note that I'm holding down B, which is why he slides forward to the large container and then down it)

Anyone got speed addresses for both OoT and MM?

What do you mean?, Addresses to use with MHS? I found them before, I'm not sure if I still have the files, I'll have to check.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this should be the RAM address for the y-position at least (for MHS): 00CECD4E

The following are for Mupen64 rerecording v2. X position 00CEC864 Y position 00CEC868 Z position 00CEC86C X velocity 00CEC8A4 Y velocity 00CEC8A8 Z velocity 00CEC8AC Gravity 00CEC8B4 Terminal velocity 00CEC8B8 Forward velocity 00CEC310

Hmm, I've never seen the redead thing before. The rest is already known, I believe.

Huh, is there a built-in RAM watcher in Mupen64? Or did you mean that these are still for MHS, but specifically for the Mupen64 v2 process? Also, here's a RAM address which counts down to 0 when you're unable to use the Blast Mask: 00CED3A2 (another address I needed for my project) It starts counting from 54 (this is probably a counter for when the bomb particles disappears), goes down to 0, bumps to 255, and then down to 0 again, where it stops.

Yeah, these are MHS addresses. The real N64 RAM addresses would be much lower, around 002xxxxx. Anyways, the address you have is actually a short (16-bit) integer which gets set to 0x0136 (310) and then counts down by 1 each frame. That's why it resets to 255--it's just borrowing from the higher address.

That's odd, in that case. Because for me, the address you posted for y-position doesn't represent that at all in MHS. Don't know why it differs, but for me the address is actually 00CECD4E Maybe we have different emulator versions or whatever... (MD5 of mine is 6EB39A7175EC2E31287571D69F21D102) Also, thanks for the heads-up on the data type. I guess I was lead to believe it was byte type because no matter how long I tried searching under short values I just couldn't find it >.< EDIT: Since all the addresses seems to differ for me, I could use some pointers on how to find the X Velocity address. First of all, I want to add that I've been searching for almost, if not, 2 hours, for this address. So this one is really tricky for me. Secondly, is the data type supposed to be double? The values of the address I found so far really only makes any sense when set to this data type.

Was it known that you can do a gainer (forward backflip) when hovering? To be precise, what I did was: - Put the analog X angle to 82, and the Y angle to -127 for 6 frames (10 frames if you're back-walking before) - Let go of the analog for 6 frames - Hold back the analog for 2 frames - Press A while still holding back the analog (1 frame) - Hold forward... Sorry about all the dumb posts. I'll just stop posting if this was already found as well...

~~Probably not useful because to gain height rapidly, you go so far backwards that a single forward backflip won't help with ledge grabbing, and that sidehopping gives way more distance?~~ See slowking's reply below

Yeah we knew that you can gainer out of a hover. There is exactly one place where it could be usefull. That is the first sunblock in STT. In all the other places zora mask will give you more height. There zora mask would crush you. But Grunz used a forewards backflip, since it is slightly faster. (gainer and forewards backflip are not the same)

Majora's Mask TAS (No Cutscenes) I made this in honor of Grunz' TAS. I basically took one of the mkv encodes, and used movie maker to edit out cutscenes and door transitions. The result is a good 37 minutes of non-stop action :) I hope you guys appreciate my effort despite my crappy editing skills :P Also, It'd be cool if anyone wants to upload this to youtube since the file is pretty big and I don't have a youtube account anymore.

I like the cutscene-less encode, Vykan12. I don't mind the cutscenes in the normal run, but the run looked good without them too!

it's awesome to finally have a cutsceneless encode, but I'd still prefer it to have only one public encode on youtube. it'd be better to upload it as unlisted, so everybody who has the link to the video can watch it ;)

I actually thought that Aktan had put chapters, with which to skip cutscenes, in the official encodes. Well seems like he only did that for OoT.
