You need to check the WIP timing checkbox because this movie was made with an older version of snes9x.

CRC32: B64FFB12 [X] Use WIP1 Timing [X] Allow Left+Right / Up+Down [X] Volume Envelope Height Reading [ ] Fake Mute desync workaround [ ] Sync samples with sound CPU It works perfectly fine until the hand reaches up and grabs Belmont.

Try unchecking the second one.

That did it, thanks.

NOW is'nt that a big laugh in my face!!!!!!!!! Jesus crimony! I am the original speed runner for super castlevania 4, my old site is here... http://paultwo.8k.com/castlevania4.html those were done on ZSNES, each movie file was done on a straight through run for each level (so i did'nt paste small segments together). Any way, i was bored the other day, so i decided to go back to my speed runs through castlevania 4, so yep, i was going to have it be tool-assisted so the whole thing is flawless (like yours, arghh). I finished the first level completely, and did it 3 seconds slower than yours, because i did'nt do that trick you did with going through the wall, HOW THE HELL did you find that out? I tried to see if i could do something similar to that for hours, but nothing came up LOL. After i finished the first level, i was thinking, hmm, i wonder if somebody else out there has done a speed run through this game since i was away from speed runnin this game, so to google i went, and i came here, downloaded the movie, then watched it, and... THAT WAS THE BIGGEST LAUGH IN MY FACE I EVER SEEN!!! LOL Obvioulsy, i would be wasting my damn time bothering to complete the rest of the levels, cause it's allready been freaken done!!!!!!! YOU GUYS STOLE MY SPEED RUNNIN GAME !!!!!!!!!!! HAAHHAHAHAAH I know this is 2 years old now, but my life goal was to do exactly what you guys did with this game. Even though i know you guys did a lot of rerecords, i know it's not easy to find the perfect routes through this game, cause i've been through the same thing myself. You gotta know when to get hit and when not to. I am pretty much aware of ALL the routes/patterns you guys did (except you guys did a few more things i never knew), i also know a couple things you guys dont know about. I may have to try and beat your time! I wont stop till i do.

Lurk more.

No, go ahead and beat Phil's run if you can. He might have to beat yours back, though. Then again, maybe it would be better to work on a run of a different game that is more in need of improvement, such as Castlevania: Dracula X.

Lurk more.

You are so nice. Nitsuja, this run could be improved even how well its been played. For instance, according to Phil, they did not have frame counter when they did this run so here is a big potential. Secondly, if I would work on this run, I would investigate the jumping and stuff and also, I would aim to jump to reach a certain platform (downwards) faster as the character accelerates very fast compared with only walking - quite sure I'd gain lots of frames doing this.

I can´t understand why not more positive response have been made about this movie. Its one of my absolute favorite TAS run on this site, and is unchallanged still. This is without doubt a star-deserving movie. It was one of those movies that made me interested in TAS runs and I am certain I am not alone in that matter.
