Submission #6059: ViGadeomes's A2600 Private Eye in 29:52.99

was boring to resync but it's done.

This TAS is done to obsolete [3740] A2600 Private Eye "Case 5" by ViGadeomes in 14:53.28 and doing all cases previously cancelled.

My route between cases has been chosen with the number of frames between the last input of the case and the first frame where we see the last "Police screen" of the case :

The Case 2 is the case where the last input is earlier so my route is Case 1, Case 3, Case 4, Case 5, Case 2.

My TAS reaches the same time as Greg Degeneffe and glen sampson's World Records : https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/private-eye/atari-2600-vcs/ntsc-game-1-switchable-difficulty-fastest-completion/page/1?ref=fbshare

I lose some frames before starting the Case 4 to do not need to avoid the flower pot

I didn't press the reset button before selecting the next case because I discovered you don't need to. Did the same between the Case 5 and the Case 2. Before, it was useless because I would lose these frames at the start of the Case 4.

Greg Degeneffe. Memory to advising me rework on it ! The route 3, 4, 5, 1, 2 is slower because you need to wait more on the case 4 to do not avoid the flower pot.

Memory: Judging

Memory: Replacing file with 25 frame improvement.

Memory: Optimization is good. It managed to even improve on one of the submitted individual cases. It was agreed that having the final screen show for 1 frame when carrying the villain is sufficient to qualify as beating each case and this TAS does such here.

The game is still incredibly boring. The Case 5 TAS hasn't gotten enough ratings to even be visible yet and this is more of the same. Votes were fairly negative as well.

Accepting to Vault to obsolete [3740] A2600 Private Eye "Case 5" by ViGadeomes in 14:53.28.
