Title says it all.
Lines 8-9 emulates readword by calling readbyte twice. No, I'm not an idiot, it's just readword didn't work for some reason.

My first SNES movie using a bot. Used training mode to calibrate the bot in preparation for the actual game's run. Found out Challenger's movie is already perfect. Got a 10 frame gain, just because SNES9X emulates less lag frames. Clap Clap Challenger, you win this round.

Prince of Persia, an Apple II game created by Jordan Mechner and released at the end of 1989 when the Apple II died and be an Obsolete platform for playing videogames for that computer. Fortunaletly, the game had ports for other platform like the MS-DOS which is one of the popular ports of the game, Sega CD, TurboGrafx CD, NES, Genesis and of course... the SNES.
The SNES version is much expanded because it has more rooms than the original game, so that's why the game gives you 120 minutes/2 hours to complete the game.
This time is a training mode TAS of the game.
Yes, the SNES port gives you a training mode if you want to practice before starting your adventures.
This movie uses a trick that you can do on the game, this works on the J, US, & EUR roms.
You have to go the continue screen & put SPECIAL(JPN) or SPCCMD!(US/EUR), then you put OK and you will hear the sound of the Prince getting damage, then you start the game or the training mode.
Now pause the and press B, Y, Up, Down, Left, Right, L & R you'll hear the sound of the Prince getting damage again & then press Start+Select. After that you've a Menu that it has 3 options:
Level Select
Sound Select
Boost Meter
If you choose Level Select you can select a level of the adventure.
If you choose Sound Select you can select a Music of the game.
If you choose Boost Meter increases you life adding 1 bar potion.
and if you press X you kill the enemies on-screen.

Movie goals:

  • Emulator used: BizHawk 2.6.2
  • Uses password & a cheat that you can use in the game
  • Doesn't uses cheat codes

Comparison to previous movie:
  • removed lag frames by turning left as soon as possible. The lag is caused primarily by Y which's function is executed after level shown. This is also the reason Y ruining the warping glitch, because after game end the "time left" function further delays the glitch, doing other visual corruptions (longer loading, multiple loading level before giving up and restarting etc).
  • This movie does what mintlody's TAS and still have 0 corruption
The difference between this and the other movie is just the action we use before stage transition.

comparing to mintlody's TAS
  • improves few frames between start and end of 2nd game end by minimalizing lag frames
  • inevitable misery at 3rd game end. Currently it's the "no level corruption" one. I need to replicate (if possible on BSNES with currentdefault setups) the "instant level restart" what mintlody has with the sideeffect of level 41.

Since I warped to level 8 with less glitched graphics, this is still possible to follow where are going between rooms.
But this stage suffers with a lag nearly every room. I improved one room, changed a strategy in the room after the exit door, and accidentally forgot 6 frames to improve.
I finished this stage, but...starting the next level, the "X minutes left" pops up all the time. How annoying. Probably I need to verify more or probably risking with a even more glitched room 8 (which can't see almost nothing).~
EDIT: It seems that the message pop up starts somewhere during that warp setup. So, probably stage 8 has also suffered.

- As soon as you enter the 3rd room (because you need to "see" a "enemy"), exit the game, enter again, and then pull off glitch in the 1st room.
- Now warped to level 8, but you can't see almost nothing, and the kill cheat now works.

BSNES + USA, should work on Europe too. Won't work on japanese because the glitch is different (after pulling off the glitch, you start the level with glitched state. I only warped to the intro cutscene).
  • leave 1st room
  • fall down in 2nd room too
  • go right to 3rd room and die to soldier
  • you can use the menu to avoid waiting for "press button to continue"
  • pull off glitch in the 1st room
  • if everything was OK, you are warped to level 8. this movie warps to level 0 for whatever reason for a brief moment.
