CTR TESTING U-NTSC NO TAS Now the reason this was non-tas was due to the fact that PSXjin still has glitches on both it's Graphics and it's savestates. Now if you have no issues with PSXjin and you watch this and say it was Shit/Crap I like to tell you that the amount of sprites you see on your screen take 3/4 away from it cause that is all I saw when I was testing also this time to make some people shut up I used my controller to drift and boost past 4 levels which I thought would have high graphic bugs.... now if you downloaded it please do an encoding I want to compare my one to yours (also when you see my video version the first level you actually see Dingodile I DIDN'T when I was playing but encoded you see him... DANGIT) EDIT: Like again if you can view it better upload it on youtube I want to see it too. -video removed- EDIT 2: HOLY MOLLY IM A MEMBER O_O just realised it now :D

Sucks to see just how bad the graphics are emulated with this game... I don't have a solution, all I can do is hope for one.

Actually, you're an Active Member now because you just made your 100th post (right after the post I'm quoting from). I played back the movie in PSXjin and I got the same result as you did. I only watched the first race on the emulator, but it looked very similar to your encode's first race, with Dingodile, the 1 in "1st", and the purple mushroom things near the finish line disappearing and reappearing constantly. So you say you think it's a graphics card-dependent emulation glitch? That's pretty interesting. I wonder if someone with a certain graphics card (like Shadowdevil2009) could TAS this game without a problem.

Well the encoding was better than the Original I couldn't see much only the wheels and the mushrooms so I took safe routes and quite visible when your at Tiny Temple where in the world is the massive door preventing you access that was possibly the biggest bug. I'm thinking of doing the tas under pcsx-rr

Oh, wow. Your PSXjin didn't even display the track or the walls? That must have been tough to drive in.

That's a good idea. There is probably a graphics plugin in PSXjin that emulates this game's graphics correctly.

OH CRUD I FORGOT ABOUT Luca's Technique so in that case times have been updated due to this technique... if you check (GOD I HATE THIS SITE BUT IT'S WORTH IT) and those times you must hit and beat this is without the AI aswell and they use diffrent characters... but we are using TINY

As being a former CTR speedrunner, occasionally holding some world records, I can help you with your TAS or even join the project. I am not experienced at PSX TAS'ing, but I know a bunch of improvements you can make. My CTR videos (all on the console): http://www.youtube.com/user/RodrigoAmaral666/videos?query=ctr http://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22amaraticando%22 http://blog.amaraticando.org/2011/07/crash-team-racing-my-speedrun-proofs.html I would have started a TAS long ago, but I couldn't use the allowed emulators without getting several graphic glitches and even total crash (not the game character xD).

As you may have seen in the latest posts, PSXJin still has graphic glitches with this game, but feel free to try to TAS this game, either the adventure mode or some time trials.

Here are some CTR videos done with tools, some with allowed emulators and others with only the save state feature. Crash Cove Lap 25.24 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQylZucSCgY I couldn't even beat my own record, 25:18 (2009). Crash Cove Total 1:17:97 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tLKJ_GK-uc Author initially pretended it was tooless. Coco Park Lal 23.09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw1AWaBpMSs Author claims it was done without save states, but I don't buy this... Dingo Canyon Lap 25.15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DvFd1GmqH8 Keeps speed ghost until the end. Almost impossible for humans. Polar Pass Lap 35.22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jx8U4b9ahQ Using the NTSC-J version. Cortex Castle Lap 38.25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE_xSjT8hZQ Author initially pretended it was tooless. Hot Air Skyway Lap 22.96 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzTO0cjMq34 Starts the lap with ultimate sacred fire (nearly impossible to turn well for humans). Then, performs a shortcut that can't be done without USF. The rest is just like the WR. Oxide Station Lap 36.85 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc5TvC1ANXc Didn't break the WR, but it would with the PAL version and the shortcuts done by speedrunners.

So, aside from the video being full of useful tricks... did anyone else really enjoy the music? Sorry to be off topic there, but I was listening to the music more than I was watching the video. Those shortcuts look like they'll definitely be of use, if they're not already being put to use. Some of those extra boosts, too.

Part 2: -video removed- Anyways I noticed the person was using the Collector's Edition version. The CE version cannot skip the masks and I don't know about the glitches themselves if they can be replicated on normal version.

You all can download my Lua Script for this game. https://github.com/Amaraticando/CTR.lua Link to video It was troublesome to get the RAM adresses (on level) because they vary when 1) You change the character; 2) You change the track; 3) You change the game mode. But I discovered, so far, the pattern for Time Trial. ==== Some adresses are absolute, like the character, track, etc. You can play as Nitrous Oxide if you force the character adress to be 15, but he will get the properties of the previous kart.

'You can play as Nitrous Oxide if you force the character adress to be 15, but he will get the properties of the previous kart.' I think that means you found the address for how your character is depicted in game, not what your character actually is (or maybe it's more complicated than that)

Probably, as there're "replies" of some adresses. I will check this later... For numbers higher than 15, the kart will be glitched.
