KennyMan666 posted:Nintendo 64 emulation isn't really at the point where you can properly compare a run done on emulator with one on hardware, would be the main issue there. As far as I know it's really only NES and SNES that have attained 100% accurate emulation currently. Genesis (and CD and 32X), GB/GBC/SGB/GBA, Master System/Game Gear, Intellivision, Colecovision, Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Lynx all are accurate enough for that too. GameCube and Wii are also extremely close.

Former Human posted:Yeah I'm using BizHawk (Mupen64 core) with GlideN64 and Glide64mk2 and there's still a lot of weird issues like water textures in Goldeneye. You need to use CEN64 or the MAME experimental N64 driver to get accurate emulation. The problem is you currently need absolute beasts of a machine to run either well and they're both still pretty incomplete. Basically N64 emulation had a good 15 or so years where there was nobody seriously working on emulating the drat thing correctly, instead of hastily hacking together what amounted to individual patches for each game to make them work. But the CEN64 and MAME teams are each doing great work to get everything documented and implemented first, and THEN go back and try to make things run efficiently while still compatible. Here's a video by some of the CEN64 devs if you want some serious background info on how they do it and why its different from before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvr6-6U0ck8

Groovelord Neato posted:odd question but are there any "solved" games. as in the world record is impossible to beat by another human. maybe a stupid question since it always seems like when a game is solved someone finds some new glitch or tech to beat it but i assume via tas it can be determined. Puzzle games where there's no randomization are probably solved. Like tasvideos just put up a TAS of boxxle 2 on the Game Boy, a game that's entirely sokoban puzzles and tiny text cutscenes every 10 stages or so. All the puzzles get solved with the best known solution in terms of moves and thus the best possible cuz moving tile to tile always takes the same time. Obviously though, there isn't much of a competitive community around playing through a 3.5 hour perfect run for a game boy puzzle game.

Violently Car posted:Don't emulators have different lag than console in GoldenEye? That's not really relevant to how the in-game time ends up working, other than it makes it very hard to do anything like test up TAS inputs against the actual game/console to get verification in. Nearly every technique shown to save time in a TAS on a level, has turned out to save the same time on the console when someone succeeds in nailing it. The rest of the techniques, no one's able to pull off consistently in real time yet.

Violently Car posted:Doesn't the timer run pretty much real-time regardless of how laggy the game gets, which is why lag reduction strats are so important in real time runs? Since N64 emulation lags less than an actual console, you can get times not possible on hardware. The timer runs inconsistently against real time, no matter in current emulators or on the real consoles. It's not even consistent across all of the versions of the game eg the NTSC/PAL/NTSC-Japan set. There's also that the emulator can still lag regardless especially when you're using a more compatible one, it's all messy but for nearly every level it looks like you could be within the one-second game timer resolution by applying the TAS strats perfectly and thus have the same time as TAS. Trouble is a lot of those involve nailing a few frames perfectly at several different points in each second, for the whole level.

Kaubocks posted:i once tried checking the SRC forum for why they don't run Doom no-OoB. from what i could gather it used to exist, but was taken down from the boards because........? people just saw it as a meme category? or something? i honestly couldn't tell, or the answer was so stupid i blocked it from my memory The only people who were bothering to do it were people who also ran 100% secrets or something. site posted:yeah i know, and im saying that calling "playing a doom game straight, but fast" a meme category is dumb because people have been running that sort of thing for a long rear end time Because it's extremely difficult to manage to clip out of bounds in Doom, and many of the levels where it can be done by a skilled player it's not faster to use than it is to go the normal way, due to the level geometry. On the levels where it's possible UV-speed attempts now in most of the speedrun rules and poo poo to use the void glitch - like E2M6 where using it can basically save 10 seconds.

pixaal posted:Enemies would also be variable per-player. What about a game that involves any RNG at all? What if someone is on an entirely different screen? Which player's camera angle is used? I don't think this could work beyond updating where someone is on an overlay map, which is basically what splits are, just a list. You're just giving more reasons to do the hallucination overlay.

He hasn't gone since 2014 and also doesn't seem to have tried or submitted since maybe 2015? And I think in 2015 it was just a case of "your submission isn't interesting enough for the schedule" since he wasn't going full weird nazi yet then. You don't need to ban someone who's not trying to show up, basically.

Gilg posted:The AGDQ schedule says Symphony of the Night is going to be played on a PSTV. How is it different than running it on a PlayStation? The PSTV is a PlayStation Vita without the screen or touch capability, which you hook up to your TV. It's fully emulation so it's not the same as running it on a PS1 or even a PS2.

Dr. Stab posted:That would make it the psp version. The game is typically run on the xbla version. My guess is that the psp version is closer to ps1 but doesn't have to wait on disc reads, but I really have no idea. It could be the PSP version, but it could also be the PS3/PSP/Vita "PSOne Classic" version which doesn't have explicit changes but naturally lacks all the disc load time stuff. Both would run on a PSTV. Schedule doesn't clarify, but judging by the runner's videos he's mostly played ont he original version before so it might be more likely to be the PSOne Classics version.

You can either play CD-i games through MAME which is buggy with spotty compatibility, or you can use TinyCDi which is a fork from the same code base and optimized around certain games but works way worse on others. RetroArch should have CD-i support through MAME as an option now but getting your hands on the proper format files for the games might be an issue.
