Synced dumped but here's how it sounds. Disabling software mixing for sound fixes it for the game, but puts no audio in the dump.

If someone sends me an audio dump without distortion, I could publish it.

I wonder where the FUCK do I put it, how the FUCK do I choose it and how the FUCK do I use it. After reading the FUCKING manual.

It was alright. Similar to the main game.

I tested plugins and settings on this one, and it indeed starts flickering with anything but good old Glide Final, but floor going black doesn't seem to depend on any setting. Is it also a bug?

Did you even watch a temp encode or run it yourself?
I'll give a short and simple answer if you say you haven't... because it does show.
EVERYWHERE.
Sorry, I'm not in a mood for pointless misinformation. If you have nothing meaningful to say, you shouldn't have posted. At the moment of making my previous post, I was 25k frame in, I saw exactly two instances of flickering, and as I don't know the game, I asked people who know which of them are "bad".

This movie utterly entertained me intellectually by presenting this nice lua script and showcasing the result of great research. So much that what's happening in the run didn't even need to be entertaining. Who cares what happens there visually if we know that yet another game got PWNED?

You can seek through mp4 since it has no dedup. It's not about key frame in fact, it's about the fact that anything paast the frame where that still scene starts got cut from the video to reduce its size. DeDup.

Is there some secret option for enabling camhack for SA1? I downloaded vba-sadvhack.exe, ran Sonic Advance (U) [!].gba and mukki-sonicadvance.vbm in it and I see no camhack.

- I need a high-quality encode of the camhack version of Sonic Advance in WebM format, either by transcoding an existing video file or re-dumping it
- I need help with Lua scripting to automate the speed TAS race judging
- I need a volunteer who is reputable and can keep a secret well to run through the target game to provide feedback on their experience so I can be better prepared for how people other than myself will approach the game; this person will have my thanks but unfortunately will be restricted from participating in the actual event for hopefully obvious reasons :)
- What resolution?

So the problem for now is to find out if the time between the actions you've mentioned is fixed or not. Like, doing action 2 delays action 3 but makes action 4 happen sooner. Is it the case? If so, it's really some manipulation you'll need to examine, in terms of what addresses affect what events.
Another option is to record all actions done ASAP, then you delay the last one for 1 frame for a few times and see if target event happens sooner. Then you save the best result. Then you delay second to last action for a frame, and repeat the entire test with your last event again, delay the former 1 frame more and repeat the latter again. Doesn't sound like fun so it's better to figure out game logics (with the help of other people) than to brute force it.

If there's acceleration in the game, subpixels will roll seemingly randomly as the pixel speed increases or decreases. Otherwise, subpixels can be used to move the character for a non-integer amount if pixels, then they won't roll "randomly" as your speed changes, but will rather alternate between a limited amount of variations. Note that structs used to store object attributes can be implemented in several ways:
1) List all attributes of on object, then another one's, etc.
2) List one attribute for all objects, then another attribute, etc.
3) Separate some attributes of an object from the rest.
4) Dynamically allocate memory for newly spawned objects in a weird way.
This is to help you get the idea of how far subpixels can be from a pixel coordinate. And of course, it is all assuming the game does have subpixels in the first place.
If you can afford a debugger, set write breakpoint to your pixel coordinate and see if something gets incremented/decremented by a certain value just before the pixel address. It is very common that subpixel value gets added a subpixel speed for the given state of the object, and if it overflows, the integer part goes to pixel coordinate.
