The Super Game Boy fully supports taking over the SNES and running SNES code off a GB cart. Space Invaders used this to include a native SNES version of the game on the GB cart.

They got SMW to play a slightly graphically glitchly SMB1.

They turned Pokemon Red into Pokemon Plays Twitch, feeding twitch chat directly into the controller ports and displaying it live, emotes and all.

Pokemon Red plays Twitch by using a laptop to stream the chat as controller inputs for TASbot to perform (emoticons included)

They got Twitch chat to work through a SNES.

Specifically they got the chat to work through a Super Gameboy playing Pokemon Red. Which makes it Pokemon Plays Twitch.

This and also throwing a whole ROM hack that is SMB and throw it into SMW. TAS'ers should just find more arbitrary code execution things just to make the wackiest things possible.

I just wish someone like AndrewG1990 were there to see how complete the "port" was. SMB any% takes like 5 minutes.

They got twitch chat on the super Gameboy emulator.

Pokemon Red to connect to the twitch chat stream and start rendering it on the TV, complete with emotes.

And SMW turned into SMB.

I sort of get how they were feeding Twitch chat to the SNES but I really don't know how the hell they got the faces in there. That was wizardry.

the only possible way that Twitchchat could have been any better is if they'd rigged a Bandai Satelliview to stream the chat instead of the controller ports.

Same way the twitch chat program does it. Receives the raw chat, converts it to a preprogrammed 8bit icon.

Probably in a similar way as regular twitch chat/irc does it, but they had the keywords mapped to a sprite instead of a png

When they were piping their "takeover" code over the controller cables, they also piped over a small amount (probably 4kb or less) of graphics data for the font and fake chat bar. The emotes were probably just part of the font.

Same way they piped all the SMB1 tiles into SMW for their other Robot Party Trick.

Making SMW into SMB1 is also impressive. I hope they make SOTN into CV1 some time.

As i recall smb in smw was the plan last year but ran out of time, pong/snake was the backup plan.

I'd love to see a total control of psx games happen, but I dunno if the emulators are accurate enough. I'm surprised n64 tasbot scripts work as it is since that system is still poorly emulated.

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
Transistor is a pretty fun game but it is really dull watch to speedrun, lots of battle skips and OoB sections. I messed around with it for about a week and got to ~45 minutes, but it was just so drab and uninteresting to skip all the combat.

edit: Huh, he didn't even try to skip that lady fight. You can skip it completely if you go around the edge and cut back in.

From what I take, it's a ROM hack someone created and just brought all that data over but yeah wish there was a runner in the room. I wonder what would happen if you opened the save file after that TAS as they had to keep deleting it.

They'd be limited by the SNES's memory, which looking it up is 128KB, and I want to say that SMB1 is 32KB so I'm sure it was the whole thing. They mentioned wanting somebody to try running it at some point.
