Some multiposting, but this is the area when I'd take any optimization help. Can't seem to spawn the wheel before the explosion fades, even though it spawns earlier in the current run. Also, water jumping might benefit from some fresh thinking. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/29838321143560871

I wouldn't consider this one critical.

objects_some_anim increments by $C every time you hit him, and Obj_various_cnt increments until it overcomes the messed up value of objects_some_anim (SHIFT(XOR(a, 0xf0), 1) + 0x10), then a jump happens and Obj_various_cnt resets. The speed and direction are random, but you can't get vertical speed other than 5 or 7. tl;dr: doesn't look manipulatable. EDIT: After RoboManus we're 02:30.37 ahead.

I'd wait for some better variety, like what we have with Doom. Though even then it may end up unstarred, because 7.1 is what 14 voters give.

Adding laggy hits to freeze the timer also freezes my progression, so I guess level 1 isn't improvable.

Forgoes major skip glitch isn't vaultable.

Forgoes using dirty SRAM Uses sub-optimal character for dirty SRAM standards (aka. doesn't uses Emerl)

I also don't understand this. If it doesn't use dirty SRAM, what is does the second point mean? If it indeed uses a suboptimal character, it isn't vaultable either.

Yes, I mentioned a few times it syncs with any bios, I just get missing menu text with the regular ones. Which (again) means the run is legit, it just has to use a fixed bios (that it uses already).

How? Here's my example but it doesn't fire consistently for some odd reason.

Language: lua
prev_keys = input.get()
function lol()
	keys = input.get()
	if keys["shift"] then
		if keys["F1"] and not prev_keys["F1"] then
			print("Hey you saved state 1!")
		end
	end
	prev_keys = keys
end
gui.register(lol)

What version of FBA were you using? For me it seems to sync with whatever bios on v002.

Nach wrote:

However, without knowing what to make of this BIOS situation, I can't process it yet. We do not accept runs which use invalid BIOS and game combos.

The emulator itself reports incorrect bios if you load it with MAME or FBA bios, and menu text is absent. So the one used isn't a bios frankenstein, but a fixed one, since everything looks correct with it.

I think it just bruteforces, does exhaustive search of all possible buttons for the given conditions.
