Aww man, the lack of the Pepsiman theme in that encoding makes it a lot more boring. That theme makes the game! For better or for worse...

Good luck encoders
I tried to run it in PCSX, with best plugins in history of mankind (eternal spu and pete's opengl2), but there was NO music in the levels. How to even run it with music? Maybe some secret setup for files other than .IMG?

I mean, is it known how to manipulate bosses patterns, or orexium letters, or flashing crystal sequences?

Is it known how randomness works in this game?

As for flying enemy, seems to happen only for ones with ID 0xA4 (really stationary are those with ID 0x97). Then, when ($5B && 7 == 3), 2 is written to $430+slot, and it starts flying. $5B is part of RNG that is bit-shifted every frame.

Uh, I can't get it to work. Part of it is having 1 in $03AF, which gets written there only at that place, since the big stone that gets broken is in slot 0x1C, and it's descriptor at $03AF (that looks like sprite timer) becomes 1 if there are enough shots on the screen. When the huge rock is crushed, small stones, if shot, have their timers going 4 to 1 in loops, but when there's enough lag, most of that is skipped, routine gets interrupted by PPU stuff, and 1 sticks in that address forever, while the stone itself isn't crushed. That 1 is then used by Y register, when stuff is written to adresses $0460+. When Y is 1, 0 is written to $0461. There you go. So basically, the whole trick is trying random shit to get these 2 during the same few frames. I could get that 1 there, but the rock only crashed into ONE piece, and then nothing cool happened. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/12852061334348625

I don't understand you. No surprise you couldn't inform stuff was encoded. I use a clear phrase for that. It looks like this: "Encoding all".

It was suggested that on http://tasvideos.org/Subs-List.html will be a link to current submissions forum (workbench), asking to vote for them. Because new users don't know it before they register. Anyone against it?

Spikestuff you didn't let me equalize my pubcount and judgecount, so I will do nothing to you.

E movie: Xcam = 2416: $8235, 0 read from pointer ($9469) to $C0 Xcam = 2418: First horizontal eye (upper) is skipped (since $C0=0) Xcam = 2418: $8235, 3 read from pointer ($9422) to $C0 Xcam = 2420: Second horizontal eye (middle) spawns (since $C0=3) U movie: Xcam = 2418: $8235, 4 read from pointer ($93F4) to $C0 Xcam = 2418: First horizontal eye (upper) spawns (since $C0=4) Xcam = 2420: Second horizontal eye (middle) spawns (since $C0=4) From that, I presume some routine got shifted in time during the E movie gameplay. Will see tomorrow what caused that. Can I have a E movie where that eye spawns?

Alright, after what was done to Super Metroid, I can try making up a guideline for branching that wasn't thought of before Moons appeared. 1. Branch label must reflect what makes a movie unique over other branches (not over the fastest branch alone). 2. Branch label must be clear and short. Once it becomes ridiculous/long, move details to the publication description (known as scrimpy's trick). 3. Once you see what can't be moved, leave it in the label, still keeping in mind point 1. PS: Use precedents. Next: What about capitalizing? I don't think it's needed unless something internally capitalized is written.

I might sound odd, but that thing I was talking about (if you start calling out the avoided glitch, do it consistently) is still what I consider wrong. I mean, with the system when you skip the label for the fastest run, you will anyway meet one of 2 problems: being inconsistent and unintuitive, or being absurdly precise. So if the glitched to any% transformation is still being forced, I request to avoid both problems the most. Then I might be considered satisfied (not happy).

Yes, "doesn't cause future conflicts", as well as "is generally consistent and understandable", and "descriptive enough, while still tight".

If a movie that despawns the eye gets recorded, I will find out how to reproduce it. And why some enemy wasn't stationary. Because then it would sound like a good improvement.

You might have missed my last question I asked a few times. It's not for the sake of argument, I am trying to figure out some logics that can be written on Wiki as a general ruling on naming branches, for judges and publishers, and TASers. And when it comes to cases where there are runs skipping to end or stuff like that, I'm not satisfied with "implying it doesn't skip to ending". Okay Contra 3 pacifist technically can't skip to ending. Warpless Battletoads technically can, but then it won't be warpless (full) run. But I can make a new warped run with 1 player, and it would require the label "no memory corruption, 1p, warps", and the other would be "no memory corruption, 2p, warps", to highlight all the difference from the rest. "Implying" warps could work (all 3 fastest movies woud use them), but implying "no memory corruption" wouldn't. 2 avoid it, 1 uses. Also, "there are only 2 branches, why bother?" won't help with ruling set up for future, because anytime there may be a submission of a different route, moon-worthy. I don't want to need to relabel the existing 2 branches to take into account the third one. I want the existing 2 already be labeled well enough. I may come up with the list of current movies with more than 1 branch to help figuring this out. Then, I propose more general names for game-breaking glitches that are used/avoided. Many games glitch straight to ending, so why not call it "ending glitch", or "glitched ending"? If it's avoided, "no ending glitch" (well that sounds like there's a glitch that kills the very ending), or "no glitched ending" (which sounds ok to me, ending isn't glitched). For other games, with "special" kinds of glitches, it would still make sense to keep calling it exclusively ("no x-ray glitch").
