GBA TASer of 2023 Homebrew TAS of 2023 Gameboy TASer of 2022 NES TASer of 2015
Working through Kirby's Dreamland recently it reminded me how tedious it was to work with VBA movies for gameboy games. VBA treats loading times when the screen is off as one frame, which means a lot of adjusting when importing to BizHawk, and an incorrect displayed time in the movie pages (in Kirby for example the actual run time is ~10 seconds longer than the displayed time.) It is also generally inaccurate and doesn't give good lag or RNG results for timing sensitive games. As it is no longer accepted for GB/C, and as hopefully eventually resyncs will be supported, I compiled a list of all current GB/C runs made in VBA. I noted where resyncs are available already.

GBA TASer of 2010
Hey, you mentioned my Wario Land 2 run! I'm actually working on it, and the any% improvement now. I have no idea how to improve "Yuu Hakusho: Makai no Tobira" route wise, but I made an display script, so I can revisit it? I also have no idea how to improve on "Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Montana's Movie Madness", but there's TAStudios now, so maybe something can be improved due to easier checking. I wish you luck on "Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure". I tried improving it, but it turned into a new branch. I have no idea if using the same glitch to get super powerful glitched monster like in that new run, but not using the glitched key, would be acceptable as a real improvement to the 58 minute TAS. Same applies to save/reset to skip NPCs. I might need to ask a judge on that.
