Hello! I'm new here on tasvideos, so I decided to introduce myself. I'm a 15 year old boy, no hobbies at the moment, I love hanging out with my friends and I don't like school. I have already watched a couple of tool-assisted movies from this site, they are really good! I can tool-assist somehow, not very good at the encoding tho. That's all! Thanks!

Welcome! If you're truly interested in TASing, the best way is to grab an emulator and dive right in. It is against the rules to ask for ROMs here, so you have to acquire them yourself. If you do make a movie feel free to upload it here and post the link in the relevant thread: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php Creating copies of existing game topics is frowned upon, so please search for the existing topics or continue to use the Newbie Corner. If you just enjoy watching that's fine too. I think our movies are 'really good' as well. ^_^

Ah, the sweet thought of eating a 15 year old boy who doesn't like school makes my tummy tingle with temptation.

Be sure to download the site versions of the emulators. http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources.html There are two modes of the movie: rerecording and read-only. In read-only mode, the file cannot be altered and savestates warp the movie to the point the savestate has occurred. In rerecording mode, the file can be altered, and savestates provide a point to return to and start from. Always load a savestate that is actually part of the movie, or your progress will desynchronize. (A few emulators won't let you load a savestate that is not at a point in the movie.) Always click "Stop Movie" after you're done recording, and be sure to make frequent backups. It's really easy to break a movie file if you don't know what you are doing.

Ok, thanks. I did some footage of Super Mario Bros. I used FCEUX as emulator. I need help with one thing tho, I was here, and I looked at these settings: FCEU/FCEUX Target settings Resolution          Sound 256x224 (NTSC) 48KHz mono How can I change the resolution to 256x224? I tried already Config > Video, but in Windowed Settings it just says Size Multiplier, Current Pixel Aspect Ratio and other stuff. Help appreciated. Thanks!

You don't need to change it because FCEUX outputs 256x224 by default — that is Japanese and USA NES's native resolution. PAL NES is 256x240.
