That was a great WIP. I couldn't believe 12.3 sec. on the Princess' Secret Slide; that's amazing! I look forward to the Whomp's Fortress 100 coin improvement (and the rest of the run as well).

If you were looking for something TAS-only, is clearly a much better choice.
I like this screenshot too. It seems to me to be a sort of middle ground, being both somewhat "funny" and somewhat "shocking". Does anyone else have an opinion on a permanent screenshot?

I was thinking of doing a test run for "World 1", at least. There's the issue of graphics plugins though: Glide64 emulates everything perfectly, but I don't think the TAS input plugin works in the plugin's required fullscreen mode. However, glN64 runs with only minor graphical issues (ex: the background of the title screen), and it's possible to window the game so I can use the TAS input plugin, so I think that would be the best plugin to use. EDIT: Well, I've decided to work on my other projects instead. Someone else can work on this if they want to.

If published, I think this will be the second shortest run on the site (I could be wrong). Great job writing the bots to make this very fast run. Yes vote.

Brilliant new glitches and awesome shortcuts! This may even win N64 TAS and TAS of the Year! I never visited the Majora's Mask topic because I wanted to be surprised, and I was! Thank you for explaining the glitches and route in detail in the submission text. Obvious yes vote and recommending this gets a star when it's published.

I like 0087, but for publication, I would suggest either 0205 or 0218.

I can't get this to work. Is there a chance someone could make an encode, even if there's no sound?

Good job! It looks better than the currently published run (probably because it's faster). Yes vote.

Very very nice run! This is an obvious Yes vote. I also read all of the submission text as I watched the run, and the whole text was very informative and helpful in understanding the run (and funny).

A definite yes vote, though. The video is boring as all get-out, yet this bot is bare-bones TAS-ing at its finest.
I really hope you are all joking. If the run's so boring you can't stand it, there's no place for it on this site (the site aims to publish ENTERTAINING videos).

I liked the new route and noticeable improvements. I also enjoyed the glasses glitch and your explanation in the submission notes of how everything was set up to make the glitch work. Yes vote.

My point was that, unlike SMB1, this game's music (and sound effects) are terrible, as I said in the first submission's forum. Bad music decreases entertainment value, which is part of why I rated this submission so low for entertainment. I also think Bible Adventures is a bad game choice because TASes of it are not entertaining.

Hell, if you add in a couple pipes to go down, it's basically SMB1.
Except SMB1 has good music and sound effects which AREN'T annoying. No vote AGAIN.

"Amazing" would be a good one. It didn't look very fast to me, but I guess it is, since it's WR.

I might as well wait for an encode before voting No again for bad game choice.

I know games like Chrono Trigger, Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, and Super Metroid can be completed faster by resetting the game during saving (save corruption), but why can't this strategy be extended to other games that save information, like Zelda or Kirby games or even Super Mario 64 ("Save and Continue")? (I've never tried using save corruption and I don't think I'd be good at it, but my question is for those who know more about it than me.)

All right then. I guess I'll go with no memory card, since I don't need to save anything and it would be easier for others to view my movie. Thanks for the help, everyone!

OK, thank you for explaining that. I don't think I'll be using those buttons as analog, but I'll keep that in mind about their degree of depression.

According to my system, my graphics card drivers are up to date, so I guess my graphics card doesn't support the new shader versions. I will just use Toad King's r7591M, since after the four error messages, a movie I have from r7573 syncs perfectly and my game runs fine after that. Quick question about the L and R shoulder buttons, though: How are they used as analog sticks? I've always understood them as digital buttons and didn't realize they have analog functions.

With any option, there wouldn't be any reason I should have to distribute the memory card I have on my computer, so since anyone can format their own memory card as soon as they start up the emulator, then reopen Dolphin and play the movie, that shouldn't compromise the movie's integrity. I don't think I would be using a brand new memory card, as formatting it would take too much time. One minor problem I would have with using no memory card is that if I work very hard on this TAS and it gets published, then someone might use a formatted card, save 1 frame, and obsolete my movie. But I suppose that's pretty unlikely.

It works fine with OpenGL, but I usually don't use that graphics backend because it doesn't render some textures correctly. Is your version okay to use to make a TAS then? Or is the input window not done? I found that on your r7591M, that same error window pops up 4 times before the game starts, but on the regular r7591, the same error pops up 5 times and then the game doesn't run. I'm not sure why it's that way either.
