Since there's no debugger on snes9x I couldn't figure out exactly what is going on but I was able to learn a lot with RAM analysis.
Why not use Geiger's SNES9x Debugger or bsnes or Super Sleuth? All of these emulators have debuggers.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1832217558/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv despite my best efforts, I was only able to control when I fight after leaving ratsurk for the 1st time. However, I did optimize the outcome of the fights.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/720145051/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv got rid of the big bad bird. I even had it drop a p fth.

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/40488549/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv I redid the bird part and saved nearly a minute. healing outside of battle saves frames (i tried it earlier, but the game was so much longer). also, the drop rate is affected by which frame I press A.

I'll have to take a look at this later. I rather enjoyed playing this game when I did play it. I'm sure the WIP will be just as fun. :3

I watched more than half of it last night, and I have to say, it's quite fun to watch. :3

Holy shit, this was a lot longer than I thought it would be. WIP Encode: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Full movie Look forward to another set in maybe a year :P EDIT: Here, why do you go around to the left? Wouldn't taking the ladder on the right be faster?

the right ladder doesn't go all the way up, actually. also, I had to restart; I jsut noticed I don't need that Home door in Magic school. Also, I will check very carefully if my magic gets me more affinity

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1319904696/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv saved nearly 2k frames after rescuing Midia. I will try not to level up temporary mercenaries

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1563973843/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv squeezed in another 700 frames. I was able to somehow control the outcome of fights by choosing which frame I escape

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/860355247/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv got rid of the birds. However, I might redo this part if I can't get up to 1350$ after the mine (so I can get everything I need in Jurayn)

Awesome job on this so far. I'm really hoping that this will be finished and submitted at some point. I just hope I'm not the only one wanting to see it. >.>

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/340331552/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv ready to meet the specters. - I might not need the 2nd set of high bottles - Should I harvest gubo milk? - I let 20 frames for the dragon quest cameo. is it enough? people can pause it...

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1131198192/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv got rid of the noi green. I got lucky with water cards. And I definitely don't need an extra set of high bottles

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1845276238/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv this is it! However, it still needs improvment - I don't need that extra set of high bottles (hell, I only need one set of giga bottles!) - I should only fight when enemy moves are minimized (first strike, mainly) - I could try to get more cards - I might not need all that equipment - Midia doesn't need that much strength, and neither does Chenzi (I might aim at 5 instead of 6) - Other suggestions?

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1592605689/Paladin%27s%20Quest%20%28U%29.smv squeezed almost 15k frames after Hagubo. PLus, I think my magic is stronger (fireg ALWAYS yields more damage for the next fight)

Is the Fl dor you pick up in the water temple(?) around 190K really the most efficient path? Does the item shop you pass right by in the town sell them? You fight two extra fights here to grab it, that's a lot of frames. There's added XP, gold, and one card, but you obviously don't need the first two desperately since you run away from a fight around 204K. Really worth it to kill that Whipper for low XP/Gold at 232K? I was expecting a drop, at least. Especially since the Elepsaur fight right after took about as long and seemed way more fruitful. This Bronza at 329K seems like a good place for Chezni to pump up an affinity other than Fire, since 10 damage is pathetic compared to BoltS, and you're going to max out Fire soon, right? Also in general, you should ALWAYS be trying to grab cards when you're in areas where you can. When a normal fight gives you +2 affinity and a card gives you +5, you're looking at a huge time versus power difference.

this one's tricky. In order to accomplish what I need, I need at leat 1300 gold (I sell the pro ball and the short boots). Not picking it up would mean more fighting inside the caves...

that's what I do. However, since I try to limit enemy action, I sometime skip such battles. Also, getting +5 can be really hard. I'm liekly to do antoher run. I don't need high bottles, and Midia doesn't need all that magic

If so, you can still do a better job manipulating fights - there is a clear difference in reward with fights after this dungeon, I would think you could fight an extra Bronza and pick up enough to buy Magic with, especially if you manipulate a Pwr Bmg drop. (If you need more gold before this, there are plenty of fights that drop items too - that Whipper drops Mid ar.)

are you talking about the jurayn temple? if that's the case, than the whipper cannot be fought.
