Removed blank frames the input file of #9827: SGMultimakerz & BrunoVisnadi's SNES Super Mario World "all 96 exits, Lunar Dragon" in 1:20:22.46

413 frames improvement for my Metal Slug X 1 player run

Extended input file for my Hien Mode submission. This inputs the name at the end when times and scores are shown. This can be used when encoding.

Removed extra input at the end

There is a way to save close to 20 frames in Area 2... Though, because of how RNG works in this game, most of it is lost later on due to lag and bad pattern at the start of Area 8. I tried my best to keep the time save going but RNG keeps getting in the way. So I'm leaving this as possible improvement for someone else to pick up this later on if they want to try their luck!

About 70% done! Currently around 3 minutes faster than current published run.

Encode.... check the end :)

This was a long one to work on. Area 3 was a bit complicated due to lag being so heavy out there, so is Area 4 but at least it wasn't as long as Area 3. Overall, the reset warp from Japanese version saved a lot of time, currently 5183 frames ahead (or 86.24 seconds). Half way there! What is coming might be harder, who knows?!

Finished both Area 1 & 2. Japanese version was used for good reasons:

Going for All Bosses to stay on same theme BrotherMojo went for. So far, 831 frames saved over current publication largely due to skipping deaths on first two bosses as well as continuous lag reduction from the start.

Finished second Noir Spidey part which consists of:

Around 173.72 seconds (10423 frames) ahead of current all items TAS.

Emulator used: DeSmuME 0.9.13

Finished second Amazing Spidey part which consists of Tinkerer and Electro. Around 111.27 seconds (6657 frames) ahead of current all items TAS.

Emulator used: DeSmuME 0.9.13

Finished up until the end of 2099 first part. About 37.15 seconds faster than current "all items" TAS

For syncing, Advanced Bus-Level Timing is ON (to maintain comparability with the current publication).

This is a WIP of Terminator 2 for the NES which is over 20 seconds ahead of current TAS I did couple weeks ago. I lost motivation to finish it because the RNG in stage 3 is too much to handle and incredibly tough to get similar pattern to what the current WR got at least. Maybe if someone wants to work on this, they can check this one out for improvements :)

This is an update to this submission with 84 frames improvements. Mainly thanks to a skip in Underground Lake which saves around a second and some lag reduction from Werewolf death animation.

Finished 8 robots (~73% completion). Entering Wily Stages. Potentially, next WIP should be the last and the run will be finished. Can't say when though. Despite the version differences, in real time we're over 10 seconds ahead of the current run.

Finished up to Turbo (~53% completion). Cannot effectively compare against current run because here, on top of everything, we change the route with Shade being first.

Skipped second Proto cutscene and managed to get good Rush Search RNG.

Found some improvements in first WIP so it took some time before posting this due to resyncing.

New route will be Shade -> Turbo -> Shade revisit (Proto Shield) -> Slash -> Spring.

Encode:

Mega Man 7 100% WIP1 - Finished Cloud Man.. Starting Junk Man

Includes Rush Search strat to skip Protoman cutscene... Saves over 4 seconds. I don't have exact values for how much frames saved due to both emulator (BizHawk instead of Snes9x) and version (USA instead of Japan) differences. Emulator version is 2.9.1

Encode:

These are useful memory addresses for when it is not clear how to move forward. Boss HP: Needed especially with the triple shots rocks so you make sure all three shots hit Y-Position: Useful when you're obscure during a shortcut

Updated submission movie with one that is 38 frames faster.

This came from better Doppler fight (removed that first charging pattern, it costs more than 20 frames) as well as better Kaiser Sigma fight.

Changing FDS 1 to 0 so it is counted as NES movie

Falling from invisible ladder.

Improved the last battle. Thanks to Hetfield90 for his notes.

Optimizations in Volcano.

A fast flying to top room before killing the bat after running in the cave saves 165 frames. Thanks to pokefantom.

Thanks to the top route in Pyramid stage and more optimizations.

Puss 'n Boots 79 frames improvements. Special thanks to Samsara
