Yeah, any reason you use this plugin this time around? It kinda sucks.
indeed it does.. :(!
All other plugins work pretty much ok, except for this one. Well, the old version of Jabo has a lot of graphical problems, but at least it runs.
Does this plugin give you more precision, or something?
The main problem with skipping the Slingshot is the switch that releases Bombchus in Spirit.
For Deku, you could save five seconds if you were able to do a savewarp in the slingshot room. =/
Otherwise, it's pretty much the same route, except you do Acryte's trick on the first basement level: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYU7g9NxDH0

would savewarp be faster with Mupen?
Also, Ill try other ways on the platforms before Mido and a new trick on the Plants.
Would going up the ladder and skipping the text be faster than going up to the 1st vine text and going from there and while climbing the 2nd set of vines, it wouldnt give me the message so I could just go straight up. Let me know
Change my sig. again, and I will murder your pet fish.
Not Mupen in its current state, I'm afraid. :(
EDIT - Crap, my computer doesn't support that plugin. All I see is a black screen while the movie plays.
Guanobowl,
I was thinking a lot about this wether or not you need to get the slingshot.
Supposed Requirement > need bombs to beat Boss in Dondgo's cavern.
This means you need to either get the Slilver Guantlets or the Bomb Bag or the gorans braclet
Which one is faster? I would say to get the Bomb Bag is faster.
Supposed Requirement > need Fair slingshot???
No, apparantly people are thinking that you need the fairy slingshot to bomb boost up places. Thats not true.
OOps I forget to mention yeah I think you might need the slingshot to get to the bomb bag, unless there is a glitch where you can bypass that fire but I already tried that on my own. But say you didnt get the slingshot and then that means you have to get it,
Want to skip King Zora? all you will need is bombchus to do this. But what confuses me is that you dont have to go to the spirit temple anymore either right? So that means you wont have the bombchus. Meaning new route planning probably and just get the bomb bag . Meaning I think you are going to have to do more work in Dondogo's cavern but does that mean it would save you more time to go all the way to the spirit temple as a child just to get the bombchus versus doing the actual temple?
So the conclusion is basically just to skip the fairy slingshot and get the bomb bag, which is probably the fastest way. Other stuff I dont know about I dont know how you are planning this route. Hope you thought about this stuff and it makes sense.
OMG I forget something else too, you arent going to be able to get in dondog's cavenr without bombchus or bombs, which means it does require silver guanlets or goron's braclet, this just gets confusing and confusing more as I think about it.
Guanobowl, I would stop where you are right now and take a break because this is going take some serious thinking.
I change my mind, you probably cant skip the slingshot unless you go all the way to the spirit temple, if you go all the way to the spirit temple then you can skip it, but there is no reason to go all the way down there now though. Cause you arent going to be needing to go there at all in this run.
IF going all that way to the spirit temple is a lot faster then getting the goron's braclet and then getting the bomb bag , then I would go to the spirit temple. But HIGHLY doubt that going to the spirit temple is faster.
Plus, the more and more I think about it I think you need the slingshot too. In order to get the bomb bags you are going to have to have the slingshot, because you cant boost without bombs, so that means you are going to have to go through the puzzles regularly. AND A TRIP TO THE SPIRIT TEMPLE TO AVOID GETTING THE SLINGSHOT IS PROBABLY NOT FASTER.
It seems my point has been overlooked. Yes you can skip the slingshot although there are consequences to doing it. Yes that gap in Spirit can be cleared using the endless sword technique, but that is time consuming and takes roughly 30 seconds to do. Compared to the time of roughly 1:00 to get the slingshot itself.
The other more important point is that the slingshot is required for bomb hover in Dondongo's in relation to getting the bombag. I'm refering to the moving spikes room, the optimal path does not hug a wall and even if it did the bombchu would stick to and go along the walls, and because of the nature of bombchu's you can't whip one out delay then do a back flip.
You could argue that the bomerang could be used as it has the Z third person mode when Link isn't locked onto anything. This is critical to performing the hover as it takes Link nearer to the explosion which is why the slingshot is needed. There would be no King Zora skip and even if there was enough bombchu's to do it it can be done because the bombchu's along a wall and I beleve it would take at least 5 to do it.
Case in point get the slingshot.
In Spirit all you do is play the Requiem as soon as the bombchu's are obtained and kill yourself.
I tried viewing the m64 file in mupen ... but I must be doing something wrong or you made a poor, poor plugin choice. All I see is white ... there's white everywhere. The B button and C buttons are white, rupee count is white, map is white, BLACK BARS are white ... the entire Link's house is white.
I guess I'll stick to the avi's this time around.
EDIT: Just watched the AVI ... my point stands: poor, poor plugin choice. Some colors are off (like the "aura" coming from the chest, ain't that supposed to be yellow and not blue?), and the Kokiri Sword ain't supposed to look like that either ... and the pause menu is weird (the whole shop disappears and then reappears after the menu is closed).
Would anyone care to explain (or point me in the right direction) why this glN64 plugin was chosen?
BKDJ, have you been able to view the run so far? Do you mind volunteering to be the resident encoder?
Don't do the first one, unless you want to, as GB already provided an AVI for us.
It's hard to give feedback if you can't view the run.

It depends heavily on your graphics card and its capabilities. That aura is yellow and not blue in glN64 unless your (or the AVI encoder's) graphics card doesn't support enough multitexturing layers. If everything is white (or black, or otherwise bad), that indicates something seriously wrong with your computer's OpenGL support, try updating your graphics drivers.
That said, even under the best conditions this is not the most accurate-looking plugin for this game. See this post for the reason it's being used, but I have a feeling that Linux users still won't be able to watch this, seeing as how it desyncs for me even in Windows, and GuanoBowl is using closed-source Windows-only RSP and sound and input plugins.
Guanobowl that is a bad link, I CANT DOWNLOAD IT, try to pick a server where I can actually download the dang movie , why do I need a stupid account to download a movie?
What kind of gay server has to tell you to make an account to download a file?

cause the account is free. Free. FREE!
Change my sig. again, and I will murder your pet fish.
somebody has to take a stand for crap like this, if I register then that proofs that I think its ok just to register to download a stupid file.
I dont need an account on youtube to watch videos, megaupload,rapidshare.
so what the heck reason do they need for that?
it doesnt matter, I'm telling you I"m not going to go through the stinken process of registering just to download a file everytime.
its like a car salesman trying to get all the info he can from you even though you havent bought a car yet.
its because of registering for all these websites I get spam email.
you can understand why I'm upset cant you?
These are my reasons, and you may not agree with them but oh well.
IT ISN'T CRAP. BANDWIDTH ISN'T FREE, why must you think things should be given to you freely? The site is not asking for anything but a few minutes of your time.
