If only every submission had a YouTube video that I could see...(not to be rude, but to quote the Dead Kennedys, give me convenience or give me death)
At the end of the day, I really hope this save data issue can be sorted out eventually, I do however want to hear your thoughts about this very specific, weird situation.
The only thing that I can not speak for, is how the game progresses in difficultly. This is a tough situation, where the pre-game "set-up" takes longer to configure; however, I figured the game should be played on the hardest difficulty...according to the rules *If a game's second quest is just a harder difficulty mode, it is allowed by itself.
Ну вобщем, если ты делаешь сабмишен этого теста, то под дых мотивации это дает уже мне.
I didn't expect this game to improve so much. I was deeply impressed and checked it in the emulator. I saved 2 lag in stage 1, but unable to synchronize in boss battle. I haven't done much research. I guess it is caused by the remnants of the enemy coordinate subpixels or bullet coordinate subpixels. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/637970092690059628
During my work on pacifist tas, I discovered an possible improvement for dracula phase 1 that works on any% run too. Probably I'll spend some days testing the entire dracula battle again, but once finishing it, I'll send a new movie file ;)
Since 5.0-5700, a hardware bug of the GameCube was emulated revolving the sample rate. This resulted in the sample rate being changed to 32029/48043Hz. This however was inaccurate, as the GC actually outputs at a non-integer sample rate. Rounding to an integer backfired here, as these sampe rates do not have an even CPU cycles per sample rate. So the code ends up actually outputting different sample rates, which were several hertz off (32024.2488139/48040.3301537Hz). Since 5.0-16788, this has been corrected, so the correct sample rates are output and this discrepancy no longer exists (32028.4697509/48042.7046263Hz). However, wav files can only store an integer sample rate in their header, so while the code outputs an accurate sample rate, it is rounded off in the wav header (or more so it's now less than a hertz off from reality). This program resolves the issue by simply taking wav files and resampling them back to 48000Hz. It will be able to correctly identify the true sample rate from any Dolphin wav file, including pre-5.0-5700 builds. Usage is simple, if you only have a single file you can just drag and drop the file in. If you have multiple files (i.e. split due to changing sample rates) you can give all of them at once, and it will concat them together. The order used is the order given, so you probably want to make a simple batch script to give all the files, e.g.Of course, anything before 5.0-5700 along with Wii games on any Dolphin version do not have this issue, so this program isnt super useful. It can be used just for concatting multiple audio files together, but that's already possible with AviSynth anyways. https://github.com/CasualPokePlayer/fix-gc-audio/releases/tag/v1.0Language: batchfix_gc_audio.exe "path1.wav" "path2.wav" "path3.wav"
A lot of games lock things like modes, difficulties, and characters behind sram. It'd be far-fetched saying that using sram is a non-standard way of playing the game. Preventing movies that require sram from reaching standard means locking such goals behind an entertainment requirement that many cannot reach. Some only reach it barely.
IMO, a SRAM verification movie should be provided if it is convenient enough to do so. If there is a good reason for not providing an sram verification file, we can accept it on a case by case basis.
For Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone (GBC), there's a glitch where if you use a card combo out of battle, you can death warp anywhere any time. The previous run, due to lack of cards, the combo chosen causes the screen to flicker a lot. Like, from using the bug, to the rest of the game: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/698993369321308240/1003722532307881984/SPOILER_HP1_Flicker.gif Warning: Flashing lights, do not click if sensitive. How long is this sequence? I'm ~15 minutes in to an hour long run, so 45 minutes of flicker. Choosing a different combo loses ~5 frames per use (so around 45-60 frames lost since I will death warp multiple times) , but does not cause the game to look like that. The current run has 4.8/10, clearly Vault material. Is this tradeoff fine?
* The final input frame is 149777, I included lots of blank space to roll credits during the movie, so the final time is a good bit less than 46:33.
* I was reading the submission guidelines and it said you could put your real name to protect your work, is that still relevant? I couldn't find a field to enter it.
Hi I'm facing a problem with TAS Studio : https://youtu.be/KGVbQKznf4U
