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.
PSX Total Control has been flirted with via a Symphony of the Night save corruption trick similar to what was used to kick off TASbot's Pokemon shenanigans, but the results currently aren't any flashier than "HEY GAME, RUN THE CREDITS!". A new, accurate TAS-centric emulator (PSX core for Mednafen/Bizhawk) is in beta so that might advance efforts in that regard.

Even if they can't fix the sound, they probably should at least let the runner know that it's not working.

Meh I'd have been impressed if they directly connected via XBAND.

A long time ago I got an XBVND for like a buck at a garage sale and some friends and I tried to get it to function over a broadband connection without the XBAND software and it was way more trouble than it would have been worth if we got it to work.

Sometimes I see the box sitting around and wonder what it would have been like if we got it running.

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

I'm pretty sure they just realized that it was possible because the amount of memory you get access to is remarkably larger than the entirety of SMB. I figured they would come back with this though.

Dustforce is not a good game to run at marathons unless you can get one of the very few people who are consistent at running it.

Didn't they recently rerelease it with a new top-level world that made it a little less annoying?

Also, everything up through Laboratory is pretty easy to run. The main things that kill 100% runs is the ! levels (Kilo Difficult -> Yotta Difficult) -- it wouldn't be impossible to do a tourney% that basically did everything up through that, and then if you're ahead of schedule, you run the Difficults. But then, it'd be even better to just find someone who can consistently run them.

Yeah, that was actually a surprisingly good Transistor run -- the game has relatively few breaks, which makes the ones that are possible quite impressive. GDQ has a reputation for mercykilling PC games, so having one come in firmly ahead of schedule is nice.

A pity that they killed the PC audio halfway through Paper Boats. :P

Boyfriend -- the ending sequence shows scenes from their past.

given that the speedrun only showed a very tiny bit of the actual game (main plot points, haphazardly) and didn't even have audio for a third of the time i would recommend getting transistor sometime and actually playing it because it's good and most of the reason it's good isn't anything that would show up in a speedrun

It's open to interpretation whether it is her boyfriend, husband, bodyguard, or just a stranger.

To be fair, a lot of Transistor's plot is intentionally vague. It's still very much worth playing for the atmosphere; a lot of it doesn't really come across as Vulajin rushes past it, but the Process slowly takes over more and more of the city as you play through.
