I wonder what other games a "maximum score" or "highest score possible" run can be done on...
A maximum score TAS would be interesting on almost every arcade shmup. Battle Garegga, Dodonpachi DaiOuJou, the list goes on, anything with a scoring system beyond 'you get points when things die'. The problem with making such a TAS is having the huge amount of knowledge (and patience) needed to know how to squeeze out points, all the intricacies and exploits of the scoring system and so on. (Also the fact that a lot of these games can't be TASed properly until a new version of FBA-rr or MAME-rr is released that works well...)
totally noob question,but doesn't that affect lag calculations because of more detailed textures?(not that the n64 emulators were decent about it to begin with..)
The game thinks it's still rendering at its native resolution with its normal textures, but the emulator intercepts all drawing-related calls and substitutes in its own versions, so the game runs the same with or without it.
i don't get this^,i thought there weren't coins enough for you to get 100 coin star infinitely,or is it just spawning a black star to use for glitches/exploits?
Is there any other trick that are jap/US only (and useful) for the no A press ?
In JP only you can create the 100 coin star multiple times, because your number of counts wraps around after you get 65535. This used to save an a press in getting to the top of whomp's fortress, but luckily a strategy that doesn't require days of playing straight was discovered. It might be useful elsewhere though?
me and my team are working on a Hard Rest Save Glitch to gain Total Control on PSX, so we could take Total Control on PSX in like less that 1 minute and beat the game in under 3-5... kinda similar to what is done on Pokemon.
Do you have any evidence that this approach might work, or is it an investigation only?
Oh god, no animated gif in your sig plz Plush. That thing is really distracting lol
Oh wow, I didn't realize that video by honeysm64 was a new glitch, I'm excited now :O
You can download them and play them back in media player classic over and over.

It utilizes gif's loop only once feature. You can download it, then resave it in GIMP with the options "Loop forever" ticked to see it loop over and over. :P
Or, you know, refresh the page.
Is there a reason why Rat didn't set them to loop forever? Data limitations, perhaps?
Because, you know, it's a real bummer if you have to refresh the page one time for each GIF that you want to view, since there are several in this thread.
Non looping vs looping gifs are identical size. It's just that a single bit in the gif tells it to be viewed as non looping or as looping.
mtvf1, there isn't a requirement for starred TASes to be optimal. For example, TheYogWog's S3&K Knuckles Ring Attack is very far from optimized, but it still has a star due to entertainment level: http://tasvideos.org/2593M.html
Oh god, this TAS is going to be too intense for words :O
Again, I hope to see some commentary to go with this run ,l otherwise you can blink and miss what's going on, hah XD
TAS input file should end as soon as the game will run to full completion without further input. (Check out the Donkey Kong Country TAS for example - you end input early and the boss kills itself with no further input)
Encodes of your TAS will run until credits are complete, so don't worry about that part.
