Edit: I think I understand now: It's my avatar, isn't it? It makes me look angry.
So... Do I have to redownload the ROM? Every fucking time I work on this run?
Or, Download 2 copies?
I'd love for anyone who casually mentions that a quantum computer is some magic automatic TASing device to explain how.
Now if you're playing Chessmaster 4000 on a Pentium-based PC, you can see only one arrangement of pieces at a time. But with the quantum Pentiums of the future, you might see a board where a fuzzy bishop occupied several different squares at once as youre quantum processor preserved all the possibilities for all the moves up to that point in the game. If the many-worlds view of quantum reality is correct, Deutsch argued in 1985, then a properly designed quantum computer could compute in all those universes at once. In principle, such a quantum computer could perform millions upon millions of computations white your Tandy 1000 (a hot computer in those days) could work on only one. Deutsch's proposal amounted to a strange new kind of parallel processing. The idea of multiple processors running simultaneously (in parallel) was not new. Parallel processing has long been a big a deal among computer designers. Obviously, 1,000 chips running in tandem could solve problems faster than one chip making one calculation after another. Basically, 1000 ships could get your answer roughly 1000 times faster (depending of course on how well the machine was designed and programmed). But quantum parallelism was vastly more impressive. Consider the power of 1000 simple processors. Say each can represent one bit of information (in other words, be on or off, representing one or zero). There are then 2 to the 1,000th power possible combinations of on-off sequences. (This is a big number, roughly 1 followed by a 301 zeros. If you tried to count up to it- at the rate of a trillion numbers per second - it would take more than 10 billion times the age of the universe. Don't even try.)
I have had a horrendous time finding a good SMB2 ROM, having no clue where I downloaded the first one. But when I find it, I could have a run somewhat soon as I plan to work very hard. Expect a WIP within a week if the ROM I just downloaded is good.
4-game runs has been done... you need to up the anti and go for 9-games.
Hey, could I do one where SMB3 plays in 2-player mode, and just suicides with Mario then runs through the game with Luigi? With SMB3 using player-2 input, the run would be way faster, but I'm not sure if it would be acceptable.
I've decided the best way to do it would be in 1 long stretch of TASing. I started yesterday.
My computer hard drive crashed - I lost my progress so far - about 5000 frames. Not that much, I've been unproductive lately, but I'm pissed and discouraged.
I very much agree with this post.
Forget party hats, Christmas tree hats all the way man.
RE: Zowayix First, get FCEU 16. Then, open each game, and before playing the movie, pause the emulators (default key is Pause). Load the movie in both. Then, go into one of the emulators, and in the Config menu check the Enable Background Input option. Then go to the other one, and press the pause key again, which should unpause both. (The movies tend to desync from each other over time though still)
