I thought I'd link to a IPS patch so anyone interested in TASing this had easy access to a patch. http://bubbz.pocketheaven.com/?system=gba&section=patch_info&patch_id=1232

Does VBA actually let you control tilt for this?

Normally, no, but with the patch you can use L/R to "tilt" the GBA. And I want to see a 100% gold medal run of this please. Thanks. :)

OK. Here's a thought for fast movement speed: Jump leaning way to one side, so you fall forward, then lean the other way to fall forward some more.

I'm still new to TASing but would consider trying out this one. But I haven't quite understood how the patching actually works. Could someone help me, please? Thanks in advance.

Well, you need to use an IPS patching program, like the ones here, and just select the rom and the patch. It modifies whatever areas of the ROM need modifying to make that work. Edit: 1000 posts!

Dragonfly and me already finished some levels but we suffer lack of motivation. Oh well... (I have to ask him before posting a WIP)

Hmm... the sad thing is that once you luck manipulate 1-1 to not take to a minigame, 1-2 is also manipulated then too, causing you to have to play 1-2's minigame, which is short anyway. Anyway, I've defeated Chapter 1 with all golds so far...

Just wanted to let you know that an 'all gold-medals'-run is being worked on.

Good. I love 100% runs on games. Even if I've never played them. :3

Random infos - Swingboats can be head-down and stay like that - Swingboats and other things that spin around could theoretically acquire "too much" speed, but the gravitational influence is not sufficient. If I manually edit a swingboat's speed, at about 10000 it would glitch so that the game thinks Yoshi is standing on it even though he is far away. Then the game may kill Yoshi for seemingly no reason... - Many addresses are dynamically assigned. They have to be searched for if needed: --Objects speeds (and positions?) --Your health --Depending on the objective: your timer, your coins, your current amount of killed enemies. Apple count is always $0300500 though. --Your speed I work on a lua right now so TASers who are interested can pick this up, if I don't.

Lua script: http://pastebin.com/muF6ZwH8 (Edit: This is a new pastebin because the old one might not work) How to use: This script can do memory search to find the dynamically assigned speed and angle addresses (that change each room). To unlock those addresses, walk left (with the emulator not paused and Yoshi not hitting a wall) and simultaneously click on the field. You might need to redo the search a few times because it can sometimes fail. (Thanks to ism because I used his lua code for memory search) (Thanks to masterjun for helping me with the timer) I don't know if I will run this game again soon. Hitboxes and object info (how gravitation affects them, swingboat speed etc.) would be useful to add to the lua.. Please note that the gold medal objectives are only filled in up until some point in world 4. The remaining levels need to be checked for gold medal requirements.

The patch download is offline. Here is a backup http://www.mediafire.com/download/4m8ur3qz1yr4zmi/patch.zip (not sure if this works but it was in my topsy turvy folder so...)

I might be interested in picking this game up again. Instead of using the patched ROM, I'm looking into using tilt controls in Bizhawk. I need more insights in how the game recognizes tilting. If anyone has any information on this subject, please let me know. - Does the game only take into account X tilting, or also Y and Z tilting? - Does the game care at any point if I'm tilting only partially on the X axis? As far as I've observed, it will translate the tilting value to three possible states (tilted left, tilted right, not tilted) and then does stuff according to that state. But I'd feel better if someone can confirm this.

converted the lua to Bizhawk https://pastebin.com/4j9b1C0C v0.1 https://pastebin.com/VujaUZ7s v0.2 (tilting is not delayed 1 frame anymore) Same as before, except it now finds and updates the dynamic addresses (xspeed, yspeed, angle) automatically. Timer and objectives are removed. You can edit your position/speed/current level number. Press E on the keyboard to tilt left, R to tilt right. EDIT: I wonder if game can glitch if there are too many musical notes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaml44qUmZU

I'm in 2-4 now, but I think I'm losing interest in it... We will see.
