I work at one TAS at a time, unless i'm making a dual run... Or that would count as a single TAS? :) I have a few runs on hold (halfway through): Yo! Noid Battletoads (J) 2p-warps Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle And i have known improvements of a few others, which i wanted to do: Adventure Island Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion And there are those many games which i wanted to make, mostly improvement to already published runs.

What about in Bomb-Omb Battlefied?
oh yea there was that, but it wasn't used on any fast star, just the 100 coin and 8 red coins (the shoot to the island in the sky can be done in the exact same time by zipping up the mountain without using the cannon). AKA: filim0nas' link have a bigger problem: they aren't TAS.

You can measure the bullies time from the TAS. As a matter of fact, don't you think that every star in the 120 stars TAS that is a close enough candidate for the 16 star run should be timed before assuming things?

For the least stars run i'd go for whatever is fastest. That's the frame shaving run you're TASing there...

Well, there's frame counter. So the camera angle doesn't do much. I don't remember how much faster the 3 first coins were now... You need to press start and change to "fixed camera" or something like that.

The first pages of this thread were about the 16 stars run, so i don't see why creating another thread. AKA, don't forget to always choose "no" to the save question. It's 4 frames faster. I think the B1 early trick is useless if you're gonna take 8 stars in the lobby. But if you aren't, then it's useful... What's your planned route? still this one? 1. Bowser red coins [1 star] 1.1. Re-enter and exit boss area 2. Wompa's Fortress; 3. Get the usual 5 stars [6 stars] 4. Enter basement and go to SSL 5. Get usual 2 stars [8 stars] 6. Head for LLL 7. Get three stars [11 stars] 8. Head for HMC and talk to Toad [12 stars] 9. Get three stars in HMC [15 stars] 10. Continue as normal

If you're gonna get the stars in BoB after going to bowser then it'd be faster to get then first wouldn't it?

Yea, that looked very nice, if it's indeed faster to do that than to do 2 stars in BoB.

My torrents are working weird, it doesn't seem to upload any of many movies (some other movies are uploading though). I use Bit Comet.... And no, I don't plan to change it.

I don't know what is the case for PAL games, but there are 2 possibilities, and neither are important for discussing mario 64 TAS: 1 - The PAL game is like an unmodified NTSC game, just playing back at a slower rate. This would mean it'd be easier to speedrun it, because it's a NTSC game in slow motion. 2 - The PAL game plays at the same speed as a NTSC game, but with less frames. In this case, it is just worse for all purposes (except some rare cases like Rygar). That's it. Now let's drop it please. The thread is too full of out of topic discussion.

So, 1 second in pal is longer than 1 second in ntsc, like 1 kg of iron is heavier than 1 kg of cotton? This conversation has gone out of the subject again. Let's stop it.

No... Videogames works at aprox. 60 fps on NTSC because it needs to send interlaced signals to the tv, and it works at 50 fps on PAL, because the signal is also interlaced there. Simply put, but i think Dehacked of Bisqwit know better. It certainly isn't 20 or 25. The nintendo 64 works at uneven fps.

Being able to view the graphics table currently loaded into memory wouldn't be bad at all. Even nesticle has it!

I think this game is on par with cheetah men series... I wouldn't play it even if i got paid. The movie on the other hand was very well made. I won't vote since it won't change anything :)

Just so you know, taking the "shoot to the island in the sky" star in BoB takes about as much time as doing it normally when the cannon is already open (which isn't opened on a 16 star run). I've put a video on google videos, let me bring it up again, here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7439433297822007687 hummm now i had an idea, a rough AVI of a 16 star run could be put together by avi editing just so we could get a route timing. it could mix the 120 star run, spezz's movie and that google videos movie.

I'll just enter the level as soon as possible (without waiting for the clock's hands), and then test if that clock speed fits the current star. If it doesn't, then i'll redo or take another star that fits. But it's impressive to take the red coins while the clock is moving fast, so i'll try it, even if it's not the fastest way.

It looked like some jumps could be better optimized, like when you're near the giant krusty face, and you seem to jump too much to the left. As someone who owned this game and played it a lot, i found this interesting to watch. The tar pit jumping was surprising that it could be done so fast. The route seemed to be well planned too, although the balloon tent abuse was another surprise. yes vote.

I'm not fond of this kind of topic, but it has been bugging me for at least 13 years now... I've played this puzzle game on the classic gameboy (black and white), where you started on one side of the screen and had to make your way to the other side of the screen by rotating blocks. I tried to make a picture from what it should look like, based on 13 years faded memory: Foda's memory screenshot I was wondering if anyone would have played this game before and could help me with it's name... In looking for GB puzzle game lists, i've found a game called "Gem Gem" made by Vic Tokai in 1991. The map plays kinda like the game i'm looking for, but with different graphics than what i remember, and a somewhat missing puzzle aspect of it. This "gem gem" game is a rpg. I've played through it for 2 screens when i found this enemy on a jankenpo battle: myuuto Remember, this is a 1991 game.
