FinalFighter, Shinryuu... um.. did either of you guys work for Capcom or something? The way you both are absolutely picking through this game, it was almost as if you guys helped code it. :) Absolutely incredible findings as always! And if you guys don't work for Capcom.. they should be coming for you both to test Mega Man 10! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

I found the super glitch for MM1. :P If it succeeds, this technique will become a very big saving. What is it? It is "DelayStageClear"! The true colors,Level-end(Object75orF5) is called.

http://www.yuko2ch.net/rockman/rockman-13-clear.avi The probability might be the highest low. Perhaps, it is not possible to use it in all stages. It should be a stage to which the enemy changes since the bank is changed. It might be possible in BombmanStage, Wily1, and Wily2.

In other words, you are nearing the situation where the game is completed right after the title screen, right? ;)

Whoah! If that can be used in most stages, it will probably not add to the entertainment value of the movie... would this mean two categories?

Thanks to everyone. It is the current investigation :P ElecMan glitch can not use. IceMan DelayWaterCurrent FireMan glitch can not use. BombMan DelayStageClear GutsMan glitch can not use. CutMan glitch can not use. Wily1 DelayStageClear http://www.yuko2ch.net/rockman/rockman-14re.avi Wily2 Perhaps,DelayStageClear can not use. but DelayDeath can use. http://www.yuko2ch.net/rockman/rockman-15.avi Wily3:glitch can not use. Wily4:glitch can not use.

The movies desync if you use the New PPU instead of the Old PPU.

When NewPPU is used,it becomes impossible to use DelayStageClear in BombManStage . This is because the content written in $2006+X by the timing is different. $2006+X:Memory used when glitch occurs,and it is PPU IO port. If NewPPU is near a real machine, perhaps ,We think that we should not to use the glitch in BombManStage. However, the improvement included in our TAS. DelayStageClear can be used in other stages. Because the memory of a different place is read , DelayStageClear is possible in Wily1 and DelayWaterCurrent is possible in IceManStage also by NewPPU. We ask other TAS players. 1:Which PPU near a real machine? 2:Should we not use the glitch with BombManStage?

This is the latest news and I got confused by New PPU and Old PPU's actions behind Bomb Man's "DelayStageClear" glitch. I hope there is some kind of solution to this problem. With New PPU everything works but not "BombStageClear", With "Old PPU" everything works because it uses more PPU intead of what it uses in Wily 1. So let me hear your words about this case.

NewPPU isn't exactly a real NES either, so just ignore it. We want to see those glitches in action. Also it's more fair to use same setting as Deign had when obsoleting his run.

I don't really know the technicalities, but the emulator settings should 'best represent' how the hardware would process it.

Use the PPU that is closest to a real machine, and exploit the game as much as possible based on this 'best representation' we have of the hardware. I have no knowledge of PPU accuracy though.

Is there anyway to see if this glitch is possible on Nintendulator or Nestopia. These are more accurate emulators and would serve as a good reference to help clarify this issue. From what I read, it doesn't sound easy to just recreate this stuff without lua tools though. If the New PPU is more accurate. Plain and simple. If it can't be done with the new PPU that is a pretty big indicator that it might not be possible on a real NES at all. If the glitch is simply exploiting the flaws in the old PPU, then it will not be allowed. We strive to achieve what is theoretically possible on a real NES. Using emulator flaws goes against this goal.

I had the BANK number change ROM and made a mistake. . As a result, Nestopia shows the same result as OldPPU of FCEUX. The enemy who appeared well with NewPPU did not appear either. Next, I will use Nintendulator to test. :)

The investigation was completed. 1:FCEUX(NewPPU) A decided enemy appears. 2:FCEUX(OldPPU) and Nestopia Various objects appear. 2emulators,Almost the same result. 3:Nintendulator(NTSC,FrameSkip 0) The object doesn't appear. Graphic becomes strange. I have been perplexed to another result of Nintendulator. :( Which selection should we do?

Also there is a possibility that we would make two versions or just first one on Old PPU in a respect of previous author settings. Elec-Ice-Fire-Bomb-Guts-Cut (Basic route) Elec-Ice-Fire-Bomb-Guts-Cut (With DelayStageClear in Bomb) Third and final possibility is that we only use New PPU on basic route system.

Gah, that makes the situation even more confusing. Nintendulator is the most like the real NES of all of them currently. So I lean towards that being the true result.

I tested the difference. Though I am not well informed about the change of the ppu I/O. :P ------------------------------------------------- OldPPU $2010 and $2011 are read next to $200F. Though it seems to change whenever memory is read. But,It is the same as the value of $200F.

I made HackROM with the same effect as delaytest.lua. It makes a mistake in the bank number when the select is pushed. The ips patch is here. http://www.yuko2ch.net/rockman/rockman_changebank.ips

I was using the debugger of Nintendulator for test. But,the result of the debugger of Nintendulator was wrong(A part of area becomes FF). Without using the debugger,DelayStageClear succeeded at Nintendulator when HackRom was used.

In a word, this. 1:FCEUX(NewPPU) A decided enemy appears. 2:FCEUX(OldPPU) and Nestopia and Nintendulator(not use debugger) Various objects appear. 3Emulators,Almost the same result. Perhaps, BombStageClear seems to become possible as for a real machine :P
