Wow, I never thought to run against the wall to build up speed like that! :o Great job at glitching this game. I never could have figured all this out.

And, I can't run this emulator build. Due to 0xc000007b. I've fixed up my direct x9, but it can't still work...I don't know why. (But I run it successfully on my roommate's computer.)
Did you install the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable (I think that's what it's called)? If it still doesn't work, how old is your computer? If it's pretty old, it might not support the shader versions Dolphin requires.

Violence is ok, porn isn't, because it offends people's sensibilities.
Agreed. And this bothers me, so yeah, voting No for that mainly, but also because Heisanevilgenius revealed that it doesn't complete the game.

So how will two authors under one username be credited? There are a few fields in the submission form that say "author". It would just confuse people if there was one name for two different people. An account should be treated as one person, to help credit everyone involved accurately. You wouldn't want to say "Thanks to ColdStardust, user 2 for helping me plan the route". Who would that be? And if you just included the person's name, like "Thanks to Billy G.", how would we know what his account name is?

A couple of those tricks were just recently found by me and ptorflaxendrosis too lol I guess we all kinda think alike then it comes to breaking this game :P btw we finished re-routing this game, hopefully one of us can get the sub 2 with this (it really shouldn't be too hard with all the new tricks)
That's great! Is there a place to watch these being done live?

Awesome, can't wait.

Oh and... I did random Cave Story fanart. Don't ask me why Quote's face is like he's taking shit.
Pretty good for a rough colored pencil sketch. I like Quote's face, actually. Looks epic. What's on his head though? A Santa hat?

I was thoroughly entertained. The run had a nice pace, perfect for the game. The glitches were all funny and it was nice to see the game get broken so badly. Yes vote!

Nice, short run. I found it pretty entertaining. Yes vote.

Hm, I can't find one either. For this game, you should be fine as long as it says (U) after it, just as long as it doesn't have one of those annoying hacked intros (don't use (U)(Mode7)).

Like Patashu said, try Google searching the name of your game along with "[!]" and you should find some good dumps.

Hi and welcome to the site! 1. If you found the ROM online, the filename would have contained a [!], something like "LEGO - Bionicle - Matoran Adventures [!].gba". 2. You don't want to use a BIOS at all. There's no reason to wait for the GBA logo to be able to start your run, and I've heard it makes the run non-deterministic (which is bad). 3. There isn't currently a "reverse frame advance" feature. Savestates work quite well for this purpose though. If you will want to return to frame 600 later, TAS until frame 650 and then load the state and you will be back at frame 600. 4. It's best if your run starts from power-on if you don't need existing save data.

Actually, I'm about to hit the blue switches to enter Hooktail Castle. Now that I'm finally on winter break, I can continue this run.

It was actually just ThatGugaWhoPlay, remember? Fortunately, "Ay" is still a word, so it still works without it.

Looks like a cool game. I would like to see a run of this too.

Oh, I see. I think the problem is that people don't read the new question and notice that it's asking if the movie is entertaining or not, and not whether or not the movie should be published.

I'm failing to see how this has gotten any more entertaining a game than the first run.
It's a lot more optimal now, and just the speed of it makes it more entertaining than the original submission.

but it's still the same terrible game now as it was when the run was a few frames longer.
That's why it's being published to the Vault. Game choice doesn't matter anymore. Voting No. Definitely publish as an improvement though.

I have a good challenge I thought of while messing around in Super Mario Bros. 3 today: Enter 7-Fortress-1 and collect as many coins (from the P-switched blocks) as you can before time runs out (don't defeat Boom-Boom). I did this on my NES just to get a bunch of lives (at the expense of a Super Leaf) and got around 1600 coins (16 lives). I know more coins can be collected in that time, but I think it would be cool to see a big competition start up with creative ways for grabbing more and more coins. Here's a non-TAS example, done on FCEUX 2.1.5, getting 1632 coins.

Ever since the start of Fusion, Samus has had something that specifically makes her immune to X. I see no reason why it wouldn't work on something/one entirely different that also happens to be called X.
This is the best post in this thread. I didn't even think of that.

One of them is a robot, so I'm thinking no.

He's a humanoid robot. Samus is a human though.

Nice run. I like the skipped cutscenes and the pace, given the genre. It's funny to see certain characters (like Rose) in flat GBA graphics stand out against the pre-rendered backgrounds. I have to go with Meh for entertainment though. Thanks for providing that encode, too. I also second Dacicus' screenshot suggestion.
