There is a problem with the Lua script: "joypad.set()"
I'm not sure I fully understand your problem yet, but I wanted to point out that joypad.set() can take true, false, or nil as options. False will override the user input, whereas nil will not
If "skipNextPlayerInputs" is not defined when "joypad.set()" is called, the value of "skipNextPlayerInputs" become: "true".
If "skipNextPlayerInputs" is defined as "true", the function "joypad.set()" will skips the next player inputs. (This function already works like this)
If "skipNextPlayerInputs" is defined as "false", the function "joypad.set()" will not skips the next player inputs. (The next player inputs will overwrite the values defined in "table buttons")
If "skipNextPlayerInputs" is defined as "true" by default, we don't need to take care about: screwing up all existing Lua scripts that use joypad.set().
There is a problem with the Lua script: "joypad.set()"
I'm trying to catch and change the joypad buttons with "event.onframestart()". What I want to do, is to disable with false, the "X" button, because it's not needed in Super Mario World, because the "Y" and the "X" buttons does the same thing. I want to use the "X" for an other thing.
The problem is: when I use "joypad.set()" with "X" = false with the table needed, all the inputs remain the same for 2 frames. (the frame after event.onframestart() and the next frame after the next controller inputs by the player.) So the next controller inputs is completly ignored, because BizHawk skips the next inputs by the player, because "joypad.set()" has been used.
Suggestion: make a new function parameter for joypad.set(): (table buttons, [int ? controller = null], [bool ? skipNextPlayerInputs = true]). The purpose of "skipNextPlayerInputs", is: we can use joypad.set() with event.onframestart() without problem.
Random crash happens when we reload a Lua script too many times in the Lua Console. (v1.9.4)
1. Load a rom
2. Create, or load a Lua script in the Lua Console
3. Highlight a script
4. Press "Reload Script" 90 times (It can throw a random error at 64 times, but it will freeze at 90)
Enable/disable a script too many times does the same thing.
It also crash with an empty script like this:
while true do
emu.frameadvance();
end
Example of random errors:
1: BizHawk freeze
2: Any kind of error window
3: The current loaded rom file is now corrupted
4: Output > "Unknown Lua Error"
5: Output > "Table"
6: Output > A random error in the script
7: The script doesn't activate and nothing happens
There is probably a data overflow somewhere in the Lua Console script. When the user ask to load a Lua script, the Lua Console script keeps counting up something and doesn't reset.
SMB3 hack Tank Level at ULTIMATE SPEED!!
Here is an extra hack. This time it's a single level playthrough in Super Mario Bros 3 SNES version. The first tank level in World 8. The auto scrolling of the level increase over time.
Have you tried to past this level at 12x speed?

In this video you will see one of the hardest boss in video games: The mouse with his bombs hardcore version. Birdo has rapid fire with his eggs.
The whole level keeps changing at any time.

The main character has new skills, can cast spells and can move faster.

My next TAS vs Hack will be Double Dragon II. I will try to make some new skills.
Thanks for your comments.
I will post a video tutorial at the beginning of the week on how to make a TAS versus Hack and I will post a new video about an other hacked game: Dragon Warrior.
It's much easier and faster to make it on a Nes game, than on a GBA game, because of the length of the memory, but it's still possible to make it on a game of any system emulated with the following features: a Hex Editor, movie recorder, AVI recorder and a Frame Counter displayed.
What I mean is a Tool Assisted Speedrun with some hacking with the Hex Editor in real time while recording the video.
Did you ever see Mario casting a spell, or a Goomba that can jump, or run faster than Mario in Super Mario Bros 1 on the Nes?
In the following video, anything could happen at anytime and the final combat with Bowser is something to not miss:

If you love this, I will tell you how to do this.
If you love what I do, I'm currently working on a new game since the last 2 years. This is on Steam and I'm at around 2000 YES votes away of the top 50 ranked games on Greenlight.

Hi everybody, I would like to say that I really appreciate all your comment even those that critic. I do appreciate them because it allow me to adapt the game for you guys. Because your the one who is playing with! Your satisfaction is my priority. I also want to let you know that Im open to do collaboration.
I just created a new hard flash game playable for free on my website:
http://marie-gen.ca
- This game is like Syobon Action, where you are a small guy that must travel through the hell zones for killing the evil master. You will find many traps, power ups or power downs. Some power downs can give you bonus points at the end of the level. There are always a clue for finishing each level.
A top 100 hi-score will be added soon.
A preview of my game is available here: (please leave a comment here)

Ok, I will tell the secret:
From the start: wait a few second, then keep running right and don't jump. Run into the wall and wait here. You must be small to be able to do this, but you will gain a free 1up for that at the end. Everything are synchronised in this level lol.
Major update (Mario Plus V.4.0)
I have made a new game mode "Protect Mario": you play with the mouse like the second player does in "2 Players" mode. Mario walk forward until the end of the level. You must kill all everything on his path. The musics are better.
I've found a bug about Game Maker: it detect a Gamepad only in certain USB ports. I can't do anything about that.
Xkeeper: try an other USB port. About F1 button: if that not work, you don't have the latest version of the game. You can see it at the title screen in green. (v.3.3)
Game Maker can detect up to 2 Gamepads, but only the first one work in my game.
How do you make that huge jump in 2-2? Where should you jump?
I already posted something about this level:

Game (Mario Plus) updated:
You are now able to use a Gamepad.
Bug fixed: you are no longer gains a Life if you finish a bonus stage without full health.

Edit: I changed my hint >> this one is funny lol.
Among suggestions, how about making the dash button be the left alt button instead of Ctrl? It's a lot easier to dash and jump that way in terms of finger gymnastics.
I will put a keyboard inputs configuration in my next version.
What are the controls for Mario Revolution? None of the keys I pressed did anything to move Mario.
These keys are:
--Left and right arrows are for going left and right
--Ctrl for running and throwing fireballs
--Spacebar for jumping
There is no pause in my games right now.
If these keys doesn't work, you need to click once on the game with your mouse to enable the inputs.
None of the flash games work. There is no way to control any of them.
Did you have the latest version of the Flash Player? If this is not the problem, tell which os and which browser you use. I tested my Flash games on Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows XP.
The game is opened as a popup. If the popup doesn't open, you need to disable your anti-popup. Allow the javascript codes too.
Mario Revolution is really hard, and when I realised that you have to start over when you lose all 50 lives, I just stopped. Maybe make it so you restart in the same world.
Game updated: the third level is now the last one.
I will do something about the restart later. This is why you start with 50 lives.
