OK, driving version it is. Also, I'm on mission 6. While it would be quite a bit faster to not get a maxed wanted level on this mission, this will be the only mission in the entire game where I would not have the maximum possible wanted level. Some other missions require you to eliminate your wanted level, but using the Pay 'N Spray on those is faster than collecting police bribes. Should I only get a 2-star wanted level and go for a quick completion, or get the 4-star wanted level and use the Pay 'N Spray? The 4-star option will be a couple thousand frames slower, but I'll be able to have a maximum wanted level on every mission in the game, instead of all but 1. Tested, 1685 frames longer.

I don't think you should hem yourself in with goals other than fastest completion. It's interesting enough as it is, but one mission without maxing out the wanted level might provide some nice variety.

I'm currently up to level 9, I just keep forgetting to upload after each mission. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/291994206/new-new-GTA.vbm - Version with max wanted levels on each mission. I'm currently working on redoing levels 6-9 for speed (no max wanted levels on missions 6 and 8). Random notes about the max wanted levels version: You cannot spray a police car, so I get out and manipulate a Banshee. On mission 8, I couldn't manipulate police officers to appear on the way to the crusher, so I manipulated a police car instead and rammed it, then killed the officers, giving me a 3-star wanted level (third had to be delayed a few frames so I'd get it.) I had to back up after ramming the police car, otherwise the second officer inside runs northwest someplace. Edit: I've found something that will greatly reduce my rerecord count, and the amount of time it'll take for this run to be complete. When text is up, I normally try A on every single frame until I find the one frame where the text will go away. The memory address 03007d4f (8bit unsigned) is 0 when a button can be pressed to remove the text, and 8 at any other time. Edit2: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/800784453/new-new-GTA%20NoMax.vbm - No max wanted levels version. Random memory addresses: 02000008 = X pos 0200000a = Y pos 0202f4bc = X pos cheat mode disp 0202f4be = Y pos cheat mode disp 02025814 = Hours (Mission Timer) 8u 02025815 = Minutes (Mission Timer) 8u 02025818 = Hour (time) 8u 02025819 = Minutes (time) 8u 0202581c = Money 32u 02025824 = Money Disp 32u 02000f22 = Actual Health 8u 02025822 = Health Actual update 8u 0202582a = Health Display 8u 02001b2d = Actual Armor 8u 02025820 = Armor Actual update 8u 02025828 = Armor Display 8u 0200109e = Pistol Ammo 8u 020010a6 = Shotgun Ammo 8u 020010ae = Uzi Ammo 8u 020010b6 = Assault Rifle Ammo 8u 020010be = Flame Thrower Ammo 8u 020010c6 = Moltov Cocktail Ammo 8u 020010ce = Grenade Ammo 8u 020010d6 = Bazooka Ammo 8u 020010de = Gattling Gun Ammo 8u 02025812 = Weapon Ammo Disp 8u 03007d4f = 0 when you can hit A to cancel a dialog (pop-up text) Note about the value above: It can be 0 on other times. However, it will alternate between 8 and 0 when it gets to a point where you can hit A to cancel the text. Just try whenever it's 0. Values around the one above change every frame... possible RNG?

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/335260633/new-new-GTA%20NoMax.vbm Mission 12 complete, I may redo the part at the docks (since I actually don't need to kill those people attacking me). Apparently if you move fast enough, water isn't lethal like in other games. Any comments/suggestions/ideas? EDIT: Portland Complete - 46% complete (19/41 missions complete) I estimate a total of around 2 hours for the entire game.

Sorry once again for yet another post in a row. The run is nearing completion, and will be done tomorrow since I only have one class. I got a lot of work done yesterday, since one of my teachers never showed up to teach us and all of my friends were in class. Waste of some tuition money, but oh well.

From what I've seen of this run (I think it was the 24/41 .vbm) this looks promising. Keep up the good work :)

Hey. Thanks for the 10 year bump on a game with only showing the current RTA World Record instead of providing something that was more TAS content worthy. Such a worthy bump. Stop bumping threads with RTA runs when the thread is long dead. Bump it with TAS progress instead. Edit: And now he provides a silent edit to show a TAS from 2013. Kura. What about all your other stupid bumps (Like the 8 year bump on Blasto) for just showing a speedrun and not a TAS? You going to go fix that now, or you going to keep bumping with nothing useful?

The current RTA record is 1h55m and its using gameboy player which would have proper loading times. The outdated tas shown above has faster loading times and still slow. It doesnt even look tased. It reminds me of the quality of my outdated driver 2 tas from 2016. Ill consider picking this project up and making a carbon copy of the current rta record. Really hate having to go back to windows, but it needs to be done. Thats like the reason I havent been tasing.
