FractalFusion: This run uses Snes9x v1.51.
Tompa stole my Warp glitch. Twice.
Therefore, I decided improve his run by 8 minutes.
  • Completes game before starting selecting a new file
  • Sound CPU excuting STOP at 00F0
DarkKobold: I think this is the first movie that manages to TAS the emulator, instead of the game. Funky discovery, but not publishable. Good April Fools joke!

It's fairly simple bug really. First input the DARBYDAY code that allows you to change music tracks by pressing Select. Then select ERASE and erase one of the files, then select that file and press Select, making the game try to both starting a new game and changing the music track at the same time. In this TAS/demonstration/April Fools I entered the DARBYDAY code before you have any control and also enter the Bad Buddy code to make the ERASE highlighted before you have any control of the file select menu (saving some frames), and I wait until the first frame to be able to erase the file.

Voting NO because it broke the sound on the emulator and I had to manually re-enable it by editing a .cfg file.

Yep, that was annoying. To fix the sound issue, open snes9x.cfg and find 
[Sound]
APUEnabled            = FALSE   # true to enable the sound CPU
and change it to 
[Sound]
APUEnabled            = TRUE   # true to enable the sound CPU

Neat emulator bug / exception. What happens on real hardware? If published, should be under "Emulators," not "SNES."

I've only tested with the bsnes emulator and it crashes in the same way. I don't have a SNES console but I'll ask Tompa to conduct a test.

I like the part where Sound CPU executes STOP at 00F0. I can't get enough of it, have to watch it again.

How so? Does it just hit an exception and the console freezes?

Just becomes a black screen and you can't do anything, basically. Nothing that interesting really =P.
