Screen 7 has always bugged me. After days of thinking about these mechanics, I realized something that I hadn't thought about before. This idea actually cut time and prompted me to try it out on all the levels. Here is an updated movie file that is 67 frames faster over the submitted version.
#638053819203552517 - Updated Yathzee Inputs for new Disk image.
At the request of Samsara, I have Re-TASed this game to remove the splash screen...due to a new disk image found. This one doesn't have a "Cracked" intro screen.
#638024475294705722 - C64 Yathzee (No Sound) - Max Score 1575 (Opinion Requested)
Here is a version of Yathzee (yes, the German version spells it that way), that I consider to be the best version on the Commodore 64. Its goal is "Max Score".
There are a number of things here that I would like opinions on from the community:
The ROM I chose was picked among 3 different sources:
This WIP uses a version that was extracted from the companion disk, issued from a magazine called "Magic Disk 64". Loads directly to the original game content. ROM Name: Yathzee.d64%%
Another ROM, Yathzee_1992_CP_Verlag.d64, has a trainer screen...which leads into the original content.
A final ROM reviewed, comes from "Magic Disk 64"...which has a selection screen to get to the game.
In terms of speed, the obvious choice is to use Yathzee.d64 (Option 1)...but as for authenticity, what would make more sense for a publication on this site?
Additionally, this TAS turns off the sound...which eliminates the freezing, when speaking.

I'm really surprised how detailed this game is. I have found 13 more frames, from two different areas. One, a frame from edging out an obstacle. Two, the last boss fight.
In my search to regain the 7 frames that I lost, due to a frame rule...I discovered how to exploit the collision detection and turn around maneuvers.
Instead of figuring out the mysterious 7 frames lost, I found 30 more from various places across the entire TAS.
Because there was a 7 frame loss, after one stage, I had to go back and see if I could figure it out how to get that 7 frames back. Unfortunately, it appears that this TAS can't cut enough to change this situation, which could be a frame rule.
