After speedrunning this game, I have become interested in TASing it, but have found that none have been done yet. Is there a way to make a TAS of Shovel Knight possible?

Short Answer: No. Long Answer: No + reason (which you were provided). (This applies to Resurrection too iirc, don't quote me on that.) Edit: Yup, don't quote me on Resurrection. v

Thanks to YaLTeR, it's theoretically possible to run Shovel Knight in Hourglass-Resurrection on XP. But there's no way to record the inputs into a movie file, and nothing has been done to check if the current clock-simulation is sync-stable (it most likely isn't).

There have been various discussions about this in the past, and all of them said that it was impossible at the time, but just yesterday (10/31/17) someone uploaded a TAS of the first stage of Shovel Knight Plague of Shadows (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVtZM74Y1jY). I am fairly sure that it is a TAS and not an RTA because of the extra bomb boost jump to get closer to the boss, which I am sure is very precise. Previously on Reddit and on TASVideos Forums people just said that it wasn't possible yet (https://www.reddit.com/r/ShovelKnight/comments/6a85uj/shovel_knight_tas/?st=j9hfkchc&sh=a55e2606). I am not at all experienced in TASing or anything related to it, so I hoped someone here could help. If anyone has knowledge on this topic, could you tell me what emulator and ROM this is? (no, I can't ask the creator of the video, because YouTube comments have not been working for me for a few weeks now.)

Hey. I made this TAS of the first stage. It was done on the Linux DRM-free version of the game (3.0A) using my own TAS tool for Linux games (https://github.com/clementgallet/libTAS). It works fine with this game (input recording, savestates), except that I still get rare crashes on state loading :(

That's awesome. Are you going to do the whole game?

Nice job! Looking forward to the Specter of Torment and Shovel of Hope TASes.

That was great. Have you contacted Fog to make the movie submitable here?

I would rather clean up and writing documentation before trying to submit movies.
