I'm curious now too. Would something like the "challenges" mode in Megaman 10 be acceptable to tasvideos ?? wii mm10. It's not really a "completes game" objective, but it does require you beat the game on all modes first to unlock everything, (easy, normal, and hard). I'm NOT talking about "endless attack" which is totally different. It's basically like 60-something short mini levels. about 20 or so are just the robot master fights, in all difficulities. (you either get a silver or gold trophy depending on how you beat them) and 30+ are little small levels.
gambatte only reports cycles in 32 bit unsigned format, so anything longer then about 4 billion cycles will roll over.
I can provide my lua script if needed for independent verification - it outputs emu.totalexecutedcycles() for each movie.getinput(), we usually use this to transform GBI timestamps for console verification but I stripped out the GBI transform to get the raw cycle count at last input: 2A225FA40 (11,310,332,480 GBC m-cycles in decimal) Now this number needs some elaboration. The game boy has roughly 4mhz T-cycles, but is effectively memory bound to operate every 4 cycles (1 M-cycle, roughly 1mhz). The GBC has a double speed mode, so to capture every possible GBC m-cycle Gambatte operates at 2mhz internally. We'll want to compare instead using the canonical ~4mhz GB T-cycle count, so we double to 22,620,664,960 GB t-cycles. Divided by the GB t-cycle clock rate of the Game Boy observed by Gekkio of 4.194304Mhz (t-cycles/second) http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/Game_Boy_Technical_Data We get a final time of 5,393.187 seconds (1:29:53.187), which corresponds quite nicely to the time observed during console verification.

Usually I wouldn't mind these timing discrepancies too much, but it could cause a frustrating misconception that Ys is the fastest master system game, whereas Zool is actually the fastest Master System game. Although finding the fastest Master System game is a fairly niche topic, it would be nice if the Ys TAS time was somehow updated to include the BIOS to avoid any confusion.
Sorry, but I'm not the one not doing my research, and you are missing the point here, EZGames69. As such, I'd suggest to you to not react out of affect to posts (as it can obscure one's own judgement), but to give yourself some time for consideration a priori, so that you may reach to some further conclusions yourself without them having to be pointed out to you by others. Being authored for a TAS or not doesn't determine how much work went into a given TAS by a given person or whose TASing skills it is that make a TAS end up the way it does as finished product. And DES requesting to be removed from the TAS doesn't negate nor eradicate DES's by the time already existing contributions, in particular and especially the input file, that constituted Doomsday31415's basis to continue working on from there. So yes, DES may not have worked together with Doomsday31415 (which confirms my initial perspective on it, because I thought the same), but worked with significant effectiveness on an improvement of Dooty's TAS long before Doomsday31415 started his own TAS project on it, according to Doomsday31415 himself. As such, I still see my critique justified.

I would like to see a new Genesis core that could hit cycle accuarcy, like a BlastEm port or something. That's probably going to be difficult to do though.
I'm reaching this place on frame 8558. The ship starts rotating at frame 9700. And in this submission it's 8990. And it's random which direction it will rotate.
