This is my first good speedrun. Sadly, it required a bit of tool assistance, but, nonetheless, I have done it. 1:37 and 33% items.
Not really sure if this is good or bad for a TAS, but I'm pretty proud of it.

It's pretty bad...

... and that is all that matters.

So, well done regardless. Plan on playing it some more? Would be kind of cool to keep track of your progress.

Oh, I play it constantly. Fact is, I just suck at speedruns, because my memory kinda sucks, and I never really have a route planned(I play for the boss fights.). This took me about 3 days, to do, from start to finish. I'll try to improve my speedrunning, right now, planning on having a go at ZM or fusion, but probably will start another SM run sometime, perhaps with a bit of planning.

And yeah, before this, my best time on a metroid game was ZM, about 2:10. I'm proud of getting under 2 hours. :P

Going to emulate/TAS ZM / Fusion as well?

it's not that great of a time for a tas. i suggest looking at speedruns or published tases if you want to improve.

The Zebetites didn't help. 45 missiles...heh. Yes, doing an emulated non-tas with ZM actually. I decided on that. Yes, I plan to, BioSpark. Must remember, this is my first speedrun. Ever.(goes to look at TAS videos) The only real TAS stuff is savestates on elevators, and before the more difficult rooms(I have no idea if that is all TAS is, or if I'm missing something), and slowdown on the bosses(woulda done otherwise, but want to make a video of em(not sure how I'm gonna do that. I recorded all 9 bosses, but with ZSNES, and all in separate slots. Luckily, ZSNES has 9 video slots.)

At the moment ZSNES is a really poor emulator for true TAS-ing. You'll want to switch to Snes9x ( http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-rr/ ). I expect ZSNES2.0 to be a lot better than 1.51, but, well, it's anyone's guess when (or even IF) ZSNES2.0 will be released. Recently they've opened up an "unofficial" recruitment for the team though.

I am more familiar with ZSNES. What sort of features makes Snes9x better? Oh, and how do I play an SMV file in ZSNES?
