basically, it just takes up space on the screen, and doesn't look as clean.

..and for the same reason I hope you have taken off the hint system!

ok sure I guess I can change the settings so the helmet is off, I never really thought it looked better with or without it on :P

Do you guys want me the remove the visor too?

i play with the helmet on. ;(

what makes your tas terrible is the aspect ratio. mainly that it's wrong.

I basically just hit dump frames and then uploaded it, when I finish this or upload a longer WIP it will look better, be higher quality and have audio

it will look better meaning I'll fix that, I didn't use vages for this video and it's all messed up because of that

once you turn off the helmet, you can't go back...

I'll just do it because it does make the game look a little better without the helmet, also miles would most likely start screaming and vomiting all over the place if I don't

And now I'm off to go put another hour into an optimized start again <_<

This look like that fastest way to set up the hopping dash to the door or does anyone have any other ideas?

Edit: Oh God!!! GIANT box around the video <_< I should just use vegas instead of pinnicle

Edit again: I found a seemingly faster way to do this, I'll test tomorrow once I get the optimal input for the hopping dash to the door

You're raping my childhood game. In the butt. And I kinda like it.

Aww don't you just fucking love it when dolphin decides to never play back the recording properly >_> I don't really know what I can do now, I don't feel like consistently redoing the first room just to have desync destroy my efforts....

Edit: Could playing one another file on the memory card in dolphin cause desync somehow??
And am I even allowed to do that?? like already have a save file so I can skip cutscenes??

Baby Sheegoth

Probably no, and yes.

Desync is really easy to fix. If you send me the file I can resync it for you quite easily.

well this desync has happened twice (different DTM's) and both times it was after playing on another file <_< so just to be safe I think I'll beat the game on another file first then start the TAS over, again <_<

Quote from itsPersonnal:

I'm not saying this is 100%, but from what I've seen save files are usually only allowed if they are required, such as to allow access to a new game mode or a different character.

Ok so it looks like a hard mode TAS can skip cutscenes but not a normal mode <_<

So now is everyone happy?? I can't skip cutscenes, I have an blank memory card, and the helmet and hint systems are turned off.

why don't you just start on a card with a cleared file?

Quietus

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

If you need a cleared file to access hard mode, then it's win-win, since TASes are usually run on a game's highest difficulty anyway, so you'd need the save to access it, and you can then skip the scenes.

dunno, i'd rather see a cutsceneless normal run. but i think tasvideos wants it to be from a blank everything

according some guy on TASvideos I need to have a movie file/DTM unlocking hard mode to TAS it in the first place

So why not do a normal mode TAS with cutscenes to 1. unlock hard mode, 2. get used to the TAS physics, 3. get a route planded out

Then once this is done, a hard mode TAS can be done without cutscenes and it will be much more optimized because I'll know what I'm doing

Oh and here's this, its the intro and first set of targets (again) but in HD and what not, also its an extra like 6 years long because of the cutscene, yay!!

Should I make it 16:9??? or does this look good

I think that the route used in the new 1:00 run is probably the fastest route available. We should see if IS can be done faster in TAS to eliminate sun which takes up some time from the second pass through phen
&16:9 only if it's not stretched. I wouldn't mind seeing my favourite game beaten in 720p 16:9

who gives a fuck about tasvideos?

make whatever tas you'd like then put it on youtube. would get the most views there anyway.
