At some point me and VidGadeomes are going to TAS the Linux version of New ‘n’ Tasty and I have a question here for a judge.
It's ViGadeomes.

I can do a glitchy any% run similar to Oddysee with the DDG but this game also has a glitch where you can teleport upwards through the screen. In order to be teleporting extremely fast, I have to bind 2 keys of Restart Checkpoint together and I can configure this in version 1.0 easily.
This is allowed, because we legitimately send inputs to the game that it can process and react.

We only allow starting from a premade save file if your movie gets to the Moons. But even in Moons, we prefer unlocking new content via a save anchor and not just glitches. Otherwise, include what you're making a save of right into your main movie.

If you can make him fully playable and beat the entire game 2P, that most likely can be accepted.

How playable is that second player? Calling him just to jump on him feels like a pointless cheat indeed.

You can just try running this movie on lsnes while making it use bizhawk's pattern. In seiken3_geg_done.lsmv, open starttime.second and set the value to 0. Also you can build bsneshawk in 1.x branch just for testing what hawk can do.

It's a really dumb situation. Hawk's startup RAM state is the same as lsnes's if in the latter you start a new movie, check "Random initial state", and set RTC to 0. And in hawk you can't disable this. Yet in both emulators it's the same overall RAM state every time you reboot the core. So this movie should work just fine in bizhawk too? I admit it'd be extra dumb to reject this movie due to using hawk's startup state. Last time this thing happened, and Keylie directly mentioned that hawk does it, it was completely ignored (including by me). So yeah, the rule bans all bizhawk movies done with bsnes. Man I need a day to ponder this.

What I think about turning in this game is that it may be generally losing time (notice the sound), so one might need to travel in straight lines that are chosen carefully. But this hasn't been tested.

I didn't manipulate them to go faster than me, they tried to outrun me automatically, and I just used trial and error not to let them do it by bumping into them.

It's a known problem with win10 and we can't figure out how to solve it.

Soig, I google-translated your reply to English and I'm sorry that it happened this way. Xipo, we always encourage open collaboration or open competition on this site. If you shared that WIP in the Contra Force thread, it would be a known record indeed, and any future TASer could easily incorporate your strategies or even work with you on finishing the run. I should agree that it's not helpful to anyone when an unknown unfinished movie is posted to compete with a complete run. It won't be open and fair competition, because incorporating such improvements may require redoing the whole run, and that can be highly demotivating when a faster WIP is only posted when it's too late. Please consider posting your abandoned projects, because then someone else can make then alive again! But posting them when it's too late, I should admit it's not entirely fair.

What matters is basic ending routines. Once you trigger them, and they mostly successfully run, it's been completed. We're not blindly relying on visuals, any doubt is resolved by checking game code.

You're losing 5 frames on picking the color. Also see if you can beat my time in level 1 while I'm checking your last level.

Apparently, Contra III doesn't seem to have SRAM feature, and the game simply goes back to the intro sequence after the player presses START on the FINAL SCORE screen in question. Does this mean the "game end glitch" category is still valid since the game behaves the same when beaten with that glitch?
Is there some context on why you're asking this?

Where can we consider that a track is complete ? - When the In-Game Timer stops. - When the character stops moving. (in private eye both were at the same time) - An other ending point.
Go for the latest meaningful event, be it character, or IGT, or music stopping.
ViGadeomes wrote:
Also what about Smurfs Rescue in Gargamel's Castle? Do we keep it like this because all skills are loaded automatically by the game or do we have to redo it because we could chose next skills before the game loads them and if so what is the completion point of skills? when the character stops or when the music ends or an other thing?
You don't need to redo anything, it's already explained in the judgment.
ViGadeomes wrote:
**Second question : For the last track,what goal should be reached ? - ending the tracks without avoiding obstacles (sure not) - ending the track avoiding obstacles and privilege the IGT ( all tracks will be completed with the fastest IGT even when there is 2 random tracks) - ending the track and privilege the TAS time ( all tracks will be complete as quickly as possible unless the last track)
Use the same goal as for the rest of the movie.

If different separate games are available in a game could we make the rules eazier by saying that all games have to be done within one movie ? Or if it's not mentioned which of the games has to be done ? Maybe adding these points in the rules would be interresting. Thanks in advance and sorry. If i don't have to redo one or all these TASes, let me know.

Bump. A lot of new TASers have arrived. How do you guys do it?

This determinism problem is just that TASes made on Windows won't sync on other operating systems, and vice versa. So while not using the versions that has that problem would be preferable, it is still possible to TAS on them. (Also, the problem technically existed before 5.0-10039 but wasn't as exposed back then.)
I'm not saying it's not working, I'm saying it shouldn't be used for movies meant for TASVideos, because not a lot of judges and publishers can run both OS's.

I had to install a few things to make the game launch:
Language: shell

sudo apt-get install libopenal1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386
And the executable I needed to run was runner, not UNDERTALE.

It's a nice movie with complex gameplay, good execution, and high ratings, but it's also rather long and has those repeating sounds... hard to sit through the entire thing if you're just a layperson. I'd wait for any%.
