Hopefully this hasn't been posted yet but this is an amazing video of Mario 3 beaten in 11 minutes. The guy guy dosn't get hit once and he ends up with tons of extra lives. Must be seen to be believed.....

It has. Of course, it would have helped if the other thread used a more descriptive title than "WOW!!"

Time to fire up the old baby to see what I can pull off these days...I know that back in the day I could get through it all in under 20 minutes...but I haven't played SMB3 in about 6 years now...wonder how much I'll remember

I also need to see if I can get through the Lost Levels on 1 life again

[x6d696168]

There is also a video going around that claims to be 'Metroid Prime 100% complete 1hour 23minutes' which is insane...

[King Atari]

I'm not going to try to watch it, my PC is moving slow right now. Does he use the flutes, or does he beat it all in 11 minutes, because that would be incredible!

[bjk7382]

He only goes up to the second flute in the fortress on level 1. Then uses both flutes and goes thru world 8 about as fast as the beginning of the game. Simply amazing.

[MattyXB]

There are too movies, where he played all 8 World complete. Every Level.

But he has say, that he has slow the Emulator too 1/30 and save always, when he was save. So he has cheat and make these movies.

but great idea anyway.

[Nukey Shay]

Is that confirmed? The player slowed down emulation and created a move list "movie"?

[Lost Monkey]

I was wondering if an emu would save "keystrokes" to a text file...

[Nukey Shay]

Isn't that how .NSM files work?

[Lost Monkey]

That would be for someone else to answer, my friend, I haven't farted around with emu's for years... I am really behind.

[Nukey Shay]

Yep...it is:

I've heard that there is a similar movie with a speed run of Mega Man 2... anyone find this one?

Yes, I read it in a german forum. And at the end from the movie is the website from the player. And at this website he has write it in japanese. When you translate it in english, then you see, that he say it itself.

But I think its a great movie at all.

Interesting...I wonder why he never submitted the .nsm file to Zophar.net? It would be hella quicker to download in that format, anyway.

Wow, now THAT was impressive... even though I'm sure the guy did the same state-saving, 1/30th speed thing, it's still pretty cool.

Plus, I've always found the Mega Man games to be much harder than SMB3.

Because not everyone uses the same Emulator. I don't, and I'd be pretty pissed off if I couldn't watch the movie because the link was to some file I can't use.

[Nukey Shay]

Maybe so...but not everyone can view .wmv's either. An Nsm (which uses only 432K per hour) would make a pretty small download compared to that video...which is constantly being disabled from the hosts for consuming too much bandwidth.

AND more importantly, it would squash theories that it's fake or hacked (you can play an .nsm file as a save state simply by renaming the file extension).

[hepcat]

If that's real, I think it's the most amazing display of hand-eye coordination in video game history.

Do any other emulators use NSM files other than Nesticle? I'm not aware of any... certainly none that I can use in Linux anyways.

I was able to view the wmv just fine... although I really wish people would use divx or plain old mpeg instead.

Yeah.. On WINDOWS. Grrr... At least with WMV's, I have SOME chance of being able to view it, provided the creator used a standard Codec.

Not necessarily. Nesticle works just fine in Dos

You guys should have an old Dos-box by your side anyway...it comes in handy when running old abandonware games

Mac users don't like old games?
Hmm...
