I'm currently in the works of a superman man of steel tas(a review was done by AVGN in his superman 64 episode), and I thought it would be a good tas candidate. I have a video up on youtube of the first mission: Link to video Not optimal, as I don't manipulate much luck in it. Sometimes I do, but not enough. Things you can manipulate are whether or not the enemy will throw a bomb, whether or not they will fling(as well as its direction which to they fling to), etc. Playing on expert means more waves of enemies to kill. So it takes longer and not much harder. I think I should move to beginners for a faster run in the future. But I don't know yet.

I still can't sync your movie. Well, the encode shows I have the same game ROM as you. Your first input inside the game starts 239 frames before the game can actually read it. https://ibb.co/KKnnKKR

Is it possible that the linux version uses and older C64 core? (That’s the only guess I can come up with)

I dont think so. Super mario bros 64 Zeropaige was recently fixed and it also works on linux. I think it might be the renderer.

SMB 64 doesn't work on the most recent windows release of bizhawk (2.3.2). There are graphical issues. This has been fixed in the developer builds. Is linux BizHawk based on these?

Im not using the release build, as its completely broken on linux. Record movie doesnt even work with it. Im using dev build from December 3rd. Another thing about the renderer, I had to add the linux script export LibGL_Always_Software=1 as I couldnt load any roms without it. It happens with intel uhd 620 gpu. Is there some equivalent for linux to force software renderer?

I dont know how to link commits, but I copied the filename of the folder and this came up: BizHawk_Developer-2019-12-03-172621-#0762b181ce5699adb311dba3d069232b6179a8d7

*Bump* I misspoken: is there a way to force software renderer on windows?

Since you're using a custom version of BizHawk and the movie doesn't sync with the actual release version of BizHawk, I think it's gonna be a reason to reject your TAS when it's done. You have to wait for a stable release first.

Yeah, what I will do is finish the tas on expert and see how that goes. So far expert difficulty is longer and not much harder but Ill finish it anyways just to pass the time to release. I never thought about submitting this. Might be my first tas to submit. Even without much work it still looks good(although I will put more work in once I redo it).

I got a virtualbox running windows now and bizhawk runs surprisingly well. It actually runs slower on linux because of the software renderer requirement(for my case at least). With this, a lot more doors are open for tasing and I lost motivation to continue this project. I don't want to get rid of linux though.

Don't worry! I'll try to do something with Superman when I have some free time.
