I've got also this cannot open movie error.
There's something that I have noticed. When you play the game at normal speed and you pause the emu and frame counter activated then use frame advance, sometimes 2 or more frames are skipped.
Ex. Frame counter activated while playing the game at normal speed. Pause it. It writes 600. Use frame frame advance, it writes 602. Where is 601? :P
Here is something that I think is clumsy. If I want to configure something in VBA, I discover that this Menu is pretty bad. Just an example.
If I want to remove somes of the graphics layer, I must go to Options->Video->Graphics layer then uncheck them. The main problem, after unchecking one it closes the menu and I am forced to redo Options->Video->Graphics layer.
Seriously, there's too many options in VBA. Why Video doesn't have it's own window with a cancel or ok button.
I am pretty sure you can do something cleaner than this. So wasn't enough for v17? :P
P.S. I use the Graphics layer as an example since I think it was one of the unpleasant things to configure in VBA.
I didn't tried your new version. I always capture with PNG and it doesn't crash here with v15.
+ When I capture screen it also captures messages like frame counter.
In FF4, I use the Memory Viewer to help me manipulating luck. Something that annoys me is the "Automatic update" box doesn't remain checked when I close the window or emu. I want it to stay checked.
There's so many new items and somes have been removed. The strategy is different than what I have thought before starting this game. Some of those new items are really useful.
Who knows maybe some people don't like that idea. ;)
I don't know. I am used to FF2US which doesn't have Darkmatter and there's lot of new things in that game. New items etc..
I don't like that bug. It's not because I think it is a stupid bug that people must be forced to think that it is stupid. For RPG, I love to see the whole game. Not parts here and there to be like an incomplete puzzle.
Omega: You don't seem to understand either. I will ask you a question. There's 2 versions of the game.
One that contain some stupid known bugs or one that doesn't. Which one will you choose?
Btw, there's not so many TAS that use glitches like that. Lot of them do have glitches but not so many that let you skip whole part of the game. Most of them let you do those parts quicker. It's not the same.
Zelda 2 and 3 TAS do have glicth like that. Seriously, they aren't amazing. The 1 hour movie is better than the glitch movie.
By " 'stupid' " glitch like that" I meant, and it was evident, a glitch that let you skip a whole part of the game. Not common glitches like in SMB for example or the useful duplication glitch in FF2US or IV.
So, you are that kind of man that is trying to make me guilty because I think it's better when bugs are fixed? rofl
Imo, it was better to be fixed and some other things that could be abused like the easy leveling trick in Giant of Babel and the useful duplication item trick .
I agree with Square-Enix and you feel angry because of that.
Things that people should expect from a remake:
1st. Bugs fixed.
2nd. New features.
3rd. Improving existing feature. Like better music.
I agree with that. It's evident that FF2 Snes, FF4 Snes, FF4 PSX and FF4 Advance on GBA are all different games even if they look similar.
That's better than using a stupid glitch like that.
I don't know for searchers since I've got more work to do to be there but it's sad for Attacker/Defender. Since it's a TAS, I won't be needed to do as much level up as an imperfect video.
D.Machines are Dragon Mech.
Yes it's related about bad ROMs. It's not FCEU's fault if there's bad ROMs. I am happy with the good ROM.
Imo, it is better to fix those bad ROMs than implementing some hack in FCEU.
