Is it possible to get it?

Good call. I also did a judgment on such a run, and it was rejected for not leading the game into its usual completion routines (at all). Then I accepted this one because the game really tried to fully end, but was too glitched.
So the main question is, does this run make the game run basic ending routines?

I have a deja vu :)
As back then, I'd say the game doesn't need to have all the usual stuff present, especially if it's collected by actually playing the game, and then it simply shows the stats. However, if something that's usually being done during ending isn't being done, then we should dig into it.

No other warps possible?
EDIT: I only wonder why you didn't use the good dump - "Quattro Adventure (Camerica) (Aladdin) [!].nes". "[!p]" (your case) means Pending Dump, when a better one is awaited.

No idea why it's vaulted at all.

Reset is added by inserting "1" in a proper line of the movie file, where usually "0" goes, between 2 pipes.
Watched it. Amazing job! I bet it will be hell to plan the damage though.

Looks like you may need to hack the game the same way notaz did: make the game display some important number you need to verify sync, then just compare how it looks in emulator and TV, and adjust stuff accordingly. Must be something unheavy, to not add more skew.

Well in that case it should be an obsolete movie, no? And AFAIK changing a movie's tier is far less controversial than retroactively obsoleting it.
I mean, if it was known to be the fastest when it was accepted, it can perfectly reside in Vault, even while being potentially obsolete (and as soon as there's a run with the save glitch - actually obsolete too).

Knuckles in Sonic 1 and Tails in Sonic 1 are more acceptable than this hack, TBH.
Tails submission thread doesn't fully agree. There was a lot of discussion about it back then, it was even rejected, but when given a second chance, it got support and was accepted (not to obsolete Knuckles). And it's before Moons! The more this one is acceptable.

Will do, after I take a bit of time to learn how to use Mednafen. Thanks for the speedy fix.
I had problems with it earlier (you remember), but MedGui really solves them all.

I only wonder about whether Aglar should be credited as a co-author, even though the overall percent of his input is small. Not exactly sure though, as speed-oriented input can be optimal in itself and not belong to anyone exclusively. Opinions?

Heck, I simply miswrote. Editing it now...
Yes, I personally think that if there are several bootlegs on the same console within the same franchise, we must publish only the best one, unless some super exceptional case.

The enemy object appears as you reach a certain place in the level, then once you scroll the enemy onto the screen to a certain place, it starts twitching. After 6 twitches (35 frames), it attacks. Attacks are global timer dependent. I really don't think you can manipulate them some magical way, just do simple tests.

I had a talk to natt some time ago about the feature modern emulators of 3D games have (and the one I've been forcing a lot lately) - anti-aliasing. N64 and PS plugins do it "the hard way" - by rendering the polygons manually, not what the game outputs, then you get as sharp polygons as your resolutions allows. However, it seems that can't be done with octoshock, since it doesn't even have plugins, only internal GPU that does all the job itself. So natt said anti-aliasing could be done "the soft way", by simply rendering the picture a certain way.
There's also a note by someone who owned a PS, that in reality, games on TV look exactly as with non-antialiasing plugins, as in similar to the picture above. But if soft anti-aliasing could improve it, why not have an option? So the question is, would it look improved?

Ну тогда есть 2 варианта: просить аделиката добавить эту опцию в БХ, или хакнуть генс самим и добавить ее туда. Первый вариант круче, так как именно редактор есть. Да и проблем быть с этим не должно :)
