FractalFusion: Under Config -> Emulation Settings, "Enable advanced bus-level timing" must be on (checked).

Deal or No Deal is a popular TV game show that is based on cases. You pick a case as your own, not knowing what's in it. Then you choose from a variety of other cases, trying to get the lowest numbers from them to get a higher offer. After a certain number of cases, you get your offer and choose if you want it or keep going. Then you pick more cases. If all the cases are picked but one, you get whatever is in you case.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: DeSmuMe v0.9.6
  • Aims for the fastest time
  • Goes through all the levels
  • Make money

Stage by stage comments

TV Game

It's basically the same as the actual TV show. This takes up most of the movie and was fairly easy to do. As you can see, I chose the .01 case on purpose, and chose the cases in their ascending order. Because pennies are a lot of money.

Vault Game

Figure out which case will unlock the vault. This was way too easy. It's ridiculously short, and took me about 3 minutes.
High Low
Guess which case has a higher or lower number! I didn't really like doing this one. It didn't take long, and it didn't take a lot of rerecords, but in a way, I just really despised doing it.

Other comments


DarkKobold: Claimed for judging.
DarkKobold: While the concept (twist) and attempt were nice, this game type just doesn't make for a good TAS. It is trivial to make. The scenes are long and drawn out talking. I did enjoy the twist, but it still doesn't make up for all of the silly speech parts. Also, Howie Mandel really sucks. Audience reaction is the same - Deal or No Deal makes for a bad TAS.
No Deal.
FractalFusion: Judging.
FractalFusion: Re-rejecting since game show games do not qualify for vault, and it does not have the entertainment or technical merit to qualify for any other tier.
