Pretty awesome WIP, jlun2!
Just expect increasing amount of madness during the whole run (to keep the viewer excited more & more, like the last Rockman).
Uh...there's one problem. Kills made by the grenade doesn't count at the end of the tally, so to save time, I would have to stall until the blinking red tank appears, destroy it, wait for 6 tanks to spawn, then blow them all up.
Which means the only real way to entertain the audience is to play around with death (close calls, close encounters, etc).
Ok, here's a WIP of the first stage. Since a stage takes nearly 1 minute, the run would be around 35 minutes long. At least the stages are different. =P
Oh, I tried not to camp at the spawn points and made the score even.
This is a 35 level game that repeats itself after the end (similiar to Donkey Kong). The goal is to blow tanks up while defending your base (represented by an eagle).
I want to do a TAS of this game, but I'm unsure how to entertain the audience for 35 rounds. Would a 2-player run be enjoyable to watch?
All in all this crap failed. Nintendo tried to make a console for causal and core gamers. It´s not for causals, ´cause to many features of new pointless technology, many causals would be confused with all those stuff. And the core gamers only wanted to sit on the sofa with a normal, handy controller and see into the TV.
Nintendo must change this shit controller!
Uh...the console hasn't even been released. >.> How would you know that its going to be competing for the "Worst looking controller of 2011" Award?
Hello! I did the glitch...on a file that hasn't beaten the boss yet. Also, I found it much easier when the boss says "KAH REA TEA" or something. This allows more time in real life to go back to the spinning platform. I'm sure it can be done on emulator, so I'll try it now.
Lost WIPS? Let's see, it seems that after klmz VBA-RR(M) released, all my runs for GBA got desynced, so I've stopped those for now until VBA becomes more stable again. Otherwise, I can't think of any other runs atm.
I think the games were:
Telefang 2
Starfy
Digimon Battle Spirit 2
and more....
And these movie desync:
* Mega Man 1

* Wizardry PG
http://tasvideos.org/2128S.html
* Wizardry KOD
http://tasvideos.org/2499S.html
* Mahjong (This movie achieves tenho/chiho/renho on r2052)

Generally speaking, clock-dependent movies tend to desync. On Mega Man 1, highly clock-dependent glitches are used. On Wizardry series and Mahjong, random number is clock-dependent. As I guess clock-dependent random number is used on fairly many games, you might find more desync cases.
If really sprite DMA is not implemented correctly, it would need some argument to treat the issue. But I hope the truth is disclosed first. Would you please inspect the problem?
So...If someone were to use TaoTao's patch and create a movie to obesolete the "desynched" movies, would that be ok?
Hi CoolKirby! Sorry I wasn't able to post a save file, I lost my SD Card. Anyway, I recently got an ipod, so maybe I can film the glitch and show you (the quality may be very poor =/)?
Sorry, if it has been mentioned already, but once the N3DS version is released, can it be played on Desmume? If so, would that be a good choice to TAS?
The GBA part seems to be different. Generally, it has more lags and is thus slower than before, but in some games like Donkey Kong Country 2 it has less lags.
The GBx part is unchanged from normal v24(-alpha).
Will the timing affect the next version of VBA-RR? If not, is it safe to use this revision to start TASing GBA games?
You can play this game on Dolphin? That's great! Can you please attempt the glitch I mentioned? I want to see how a TAS of the last boss using the glitch would look like. =)
