RGamma has stepped down as a publisher. You've been a real hero bro, a true professional. Hope to see you come back someday.

if a new version of the real-time run is made, that issue will be brought back up, since these 2 are the runs with the most content overlap. It's just currently, Saturn's movie is way more up-to-date than Tako & Kriole's.
So what do you guys think now? I'd say it makes perfect sense to obsolete the in-game-time run now, that its time has been beaten.

What about also running some lua scripts that display stuff like hitboxes? That always feels neat imo.

I went from the framerate of the original video, which means that game runs at that rate in FBA. If the site uses plain 60, and you guys also want that, I can change it. For the screenshot, we prefer not to show final boss fights in the screenshots, as it's a spoiler of sorts, while what we want it a teaser. The borderline is thin, so I might digress here too if you guys insist. But then you'd have to explain why that frame is special.

No known improvements isn't our requirement. We just want it not to be sloppy, and this run isn't. You can leave that one for future and have this published, since that would indeed require redoing the entire run.

I know a great emulator that you should try and start enjoying and advocate everywhere. http://fms.komkon.org/iNES/#Downloads I think it will perfectly fit your tastes and make you hate all the other emulators.

It lists native res and other stuff, but not target res of their screens. EDIT: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/emu/rendlay.h EDIT: I examined FBA-rr code, and whenever it does aspect ratio correction via user option, it uses 4:3 or 3:4, depending on the game orientation. So this is now known to match the regular CRT aspect ratio. MAME, among its systems, emulates arcades such as pinball machines and LCD based ones that can have arbitrary aspect ratio and it won't change it. But for all the rest, there's a bunch of possible layouts that determine the resulting aspect ratio. Again, 4:3/3:4 dominates here, even for multi-screen ones, but when I have time I'll make a list of games that need no aspect ratio correction, for future reference. Bottomline: Whenever in doubt, apply regular CRT aspect ratio. If it's a multi-screen system, each screen usually is also a regular CRT. To be continued... http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=451786#451786

When a new prereq is out we usually report that, and if it's not installed, bizhawk will warn you, so don't worry.

Arcade machines used to use regular CRT screens, which were 4:3 back in the days. I've heard that vertical arcades used 3:4 screens, which were basically the regular screens flipped. And there seems to be widescreen arcades too. We've been encoding arcades without aspect ratio correction for years, and it seems wrong, and I'd like to fix that finally. Does anyone has any insight on that? Links/resources/photos/personal experience/visions/prophecies/stolen top secret papers?

That's odd, I have it working well at importing this movie with a fresh unzip if 1.12.0. Does this one work? https://yadi.sk/d/mPlX52lx3EekHt

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/37291400092696783 I improved leaving the room before the first Ursula fight by 2 frames. Would you like to resync the latter part and have the movie replaced?

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING LETS ME PASS THE DESERT LEVEL. Also, if someone else will be dumping it, they'd need a state captured with 48000 sound, or it will glitch.

With another downloader I got that the cap is indeed 60.0, so ignore my above post.

Tried 4 times, all with the same result. Did it desync there for you too?

I guess it's some difference in your cmd.exe. Try googling the problem.

Before I try 9000 times over, what's the cleanest way to dump this run to avi?

Getting the file is no problem, but we lack a whole bunch of published hacks patches there.

Some of the hacks we've published have their patches hosted on https://code.google.com/archive/p/tasvideos-moviefiles/downloads and directly linked in the movie pages.
Also, http://tasvideos.org/Movies.html wrote:
IPS patches for hacked games (except Street Fighter II: Rainbow Edition) can be downloaded here: http://tasvideos-moviefiles.googlecode.com/files/ips%2Bpatcher.zip . Lunar IPS patching program is included.
This link is also broken. I think we should organize this better, and host the real files on github. One of the reasons is that some patches become harder to find over time, we don't want to completely lose the way to replay some of our runs. PS: Some guy tried to export, but got nothing obviously, since everything was in downloads: https://github.com/lewisje/tasvideos-moviefiles This should've been posted in the Sites section probably?
