Ridley at this point I'm 2702 frames (45 seconds and 2 frames) faster than the Published TAS
I cant go by the in-game timer because it resets every minute
• 27690 — you could take a missile refill here instead of doing it at the bottom of the shaft.
• 29990 — you could wait a bit here and shoot a spore flying in the bottom-left corner to drop a missile refill, then grab it on the next turn, which would allow you to clear the left side a turn earlier, effectively saving another two seconds or so.
Needless to say, the rest of the run makes saliva drip from my open mouth.

You mean the seconds counter resets every minute? That doesn't sound like a problem to me. But I think going by real-time is better for this game.

By the way, does anyone still have the movie I made of this game?
I thought I might, but I couldn't find anything with your name in the author's comments and I don't remember anything about the movie.

By the time I realised I needed the refill, I was at the bottem of the shaft and it was either health or nothing from that enemy ^Tourain Flashback^
EDIT: I cant get that enemy to give me a misile drop anyway
I'll get started on that

yeah, look here 03000152
Switch the memory viewer to 8-bit with decimal display and view starting at address 03000150. The hours are stored at 03000150, the minutes are stored at 03000151, the seconds are stored at 03000152, and the frames are stored at 03000153, so you can go by the in-game timer if you want to. Oddly, the in-game timer assumes that there are 64 frames per second instead of 60.
You can't really compare frame times at all from the published run, as MOST of that 45 seconds is because the published one is lagging.
Edit: This is how my WIP was 40 seconds faster in game time, and like four minutes faster real time despite having extra cut scenes.

ok, moozooh started with his ways on irc, and I got Ridley dead yay. YAY.
http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/get/3118/deaddeaddead.vbm yay
also I'm 7:18:53 in-game time compared to BoltR's published any% of 7:43:15, so I'm still faster than him by 25 seconds hehe
At last! I'm surprised how efficient the fight was, considering you had a severe cap on ammo and no super missiles at all. Just excellent.
I guess everything up to the next boss will be a breeze.

Yes, we established that the currently published run isn't very good long ago; just after the lag free version was released. Oh, and the fact that the lag caused a large amount of slowdowns/wasted game time doesn't help it much either.

Excellent work PJ. How much ahead are you comparing with the current published run?
Edit:
Sorry for comparing Bolt, was not my intent to do that knowing it is wrong to compare due to the reasons you have stated.

As I have said before, comparing it to the published run is very inaccurate. The published run has A LOT of lag, which does actually effect the in game timer. Under worst case scenarios ONE IDENTICAL JUMP in the published run might take three times as many frames.
In my Kraid first version, which is ~1800 frames from being complete, I go through the beginning of the game with an almost identical path to the published run, except in the hive rooms I get the missile tank (wastes ~650 frames realtime/ingame as the timer for ingame doesn't stop when you get an item). At the split where i go to Kraid instead of Norfar I am ~950 frames ahead. Remember, this is with a route which is technically SLOWER.
This is also without the double missile strategy on the worm boss (Saves AT LEAST 300 frames), and getting an extra missile (An extra ~650 frames). So you are looking at ~1800 frames of improvement in the first 5 minutes of the run.
This being said PJBoy is doing a good job, and i'm not trying to knock him. Also, the Kraid run won't be submitted because it is missing some tricks which were discovered which save a fair margin of time. However, the any% run been restarted with the help of OgreSlayeR so it will get updated. I can't really tell you how much faster it is so far because of the nature of the published run, but I can tell you that it's currently faster than anything else that has been done up to this point. I guess you can wait and see.
