My Tool Assisted Speedruns (TAS)


Some of my videos are on Youtube. It may be easier to watch videos in there than download all the files from different places.

To make your game screenshots smaller save them as .bmp first and then use Optipng program.


Emulator: Gens 9.5b

Universal Soldier

10:50 (23/04/2009)

Rom-file is Universal Solder (U) [!].

Improvable by 2-3 seconds.

Valis - The Fantasm Soldier

12:17 (12/04/2009)

Improvable.

Generations Lost

9:58 (22/03/2009)

Rom-file is Generations Lost (JUE) [!].

Test run, not optimized.

Last Battle

16:43 (20/03/2009)

Rom-file is Last Battle (U) [!].

Jumping at the end of stage saves 3 frames.

Marko's Magic Football

11:48 (12/03/2009)

Rom-file is Marko's Magic Football (U) [!].

Last level has lots of slow-downs and is not optimized.

Ys 3 - Wanderers from Ys

46:03 07/03/2009)

Rom-file is Ys 3 - Wanderer from Ys (U) [!].

Can be improved by 40 seconds or more. Leaving Battle Armor (15s), charging Ring Power not before but after Valestine (8s) and buying an amulet (5s), not unequipping ring before boss in Valestine (3s), better boss manipulations about 10 seconds.

The movie needs sram of this game, so you have to start playing the movie again after the intro to get it going right.

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck

18:47 (28/02/2009)

Rom-file is Chuck Rock 2 (U) [!].

Can be improved by about 2 seconds (energy refill = death at Anthony the ant + disposing of firemen in Burning Tree).

gmv-moviefile / mirror

True Lies

33:52 (24/02/2009)

Rom-file is True Lies (F) [!].

Testrun on hard difficulty. Black Screen of Death after the final boss. The run works on most other rom versions but not one gives ending credits. Compability issue?.

Ex-Mutants

11:19 (12/02/2009)

Rom-file is Ex-Mutants (U) [!].

I use death as a shortcut in most bosses. Also "damage overload" I found in forest boss should be applied to earlier bosses as well. I improved 33 seconds in first two levels but haven't finished that run yet.

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers

7:54 (09/02/2009)

Rom-file is Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers (UEJ) [!].

I improved first stage by six seconds, but it desynchs later. 2nd should be optimal. 3rd is long so there can be mistakes. The rest are ok excluding sixth.

gmv-moviefile / / mirror

Pagemaster

14:57 (07/02/2009)

Rom-file is Pagemaster, The (U) [!].

Didn't collect library cards, got bad ending.

Warlock

24:40 (28/01/2009)

Rom-file is Warlock (JUE) [!].

Lots of improving for next run. I started jump shooting at 4th level.

Goofy's Hysterical History Tour

19:20 (19/01/2009)

Rom-file is Goofy's Hysterical History Tour (U).

Hardest difficulty. Strangely on hardest you have shortest first world.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Goofy's Hysterical History Tour

Young Indiana Jones - Instruments of Chaos

11:53 (13/01/2009)

Rom-file is Young Indiana Jones - Instrument of Chaos (U) [!].

Quite poor quality. Could be improved by 20 seconds at least.

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Greendog - The Beached Surfer Dude

20:19 (09/01/2009)

Rom-file is Greendog - The Beached Surfer Dude (U) [!].

Could have saved 10 seconds if I had saved invisibility to last stage.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Greendog

Ren and Stimpy's Invention

7:20 (04/01/2009)

Rom-file is Ren and Stimpy's Invention (U) [!].

I used a glitch few times in freezer to save about 7 seconds.
Other character is pushed through walls if he is too far behind.
For the first time I played a game which already had a speedrun on SDA (9:33 real-time).

Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble

13:09 (18/12/2008)

Rom-file is Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble (4) [!].

Sprint/Dash could be improved in early stages. Also Hare-Abian's first Sam can be "carroted" 51 frames faster. Dashing after a door opens isn't done in optimal way in all cases. The game is pretty laggy, especially Haunted Hare (5th level), so hex-editing quite probably fails.

Daze Before Christmas

21:16 (13/12/2008)

Rom-file is Daze Before Christmas, The (E) [!].

Pirates of Dark Water

19:33 (8/12/2008)

Rom-file is Pirates of Dark Water, The (Jan 1994) (U) [!].

I lost seven seconds in Bobo Mountains when I collected coins which are not needed.

High Seas Havoc

20:40 (27/11/2008)

Rom-file is High Seas Havoc (U) [!].

Hardest difficulty.
Last boss could be quite difficult without savestates.

Jungle Book

9:16 (16/11/2008)

Rom-file is Jungle Book, The (U) [!].

Hardest difficulty.
Some maps

James Bond - The Duel

12:12 (11/11/2008)

Rom-file is James Bond - The Duel (UE) (Electronic Arts).

Hardest difficulty.

Chester Cheetah

11:28 (07/11/2008)

Rom-file is Chester Cheetah (U) [c][!].

I discovered a bit late that pressing down for one frame allows Chester to start running immediately. Luckily I managed to hex edit fixed first stage and improved 98 frames.

Caliber Fifty

12:10 (06/11/2008)

Rom-file is Caliber Fifty (J) [!].

Hardest difficulty.

The Ooze

27:25 (18/10/2008)

Rom-file is Ooze, The (5).

I didn't collect DNAs so I got "bad ending".
Testrun, no frame advance.

Rings of Power

2:05:00 (16/6/2008)

Rom-file is Rings of Power(U) [!].

My route is described in here.
I used information from: www.ringsofpower.co.uk

General Chaos

14:32 (08/6/2008)

Rom-file is General Chaos (UEJ) [!].

12 Battles. All excess button pressing delays the ending of battle after enemies are dead. I figured this out too late.

D&D - Warriors of the Eternal Sun

54:30 (05/6/2008)

Rom-file is D&D - Warriors of the Eternal Sun (U) [!].

This is sort of a testrun. Wand of Lightning and Wand of Fireball heavily abused.
Huge thanks to beta tester of this game who shared info:

Fantasia

11:05 (26/5/2008)

Rom-file is Mickey Mouse - Fantasia (REV 00) (U) [!].

Hard difficulty.

Desert Demolition

5:31 (22/5/2008)

Rom-file is Desert Demolition (UJE) [!]..

Played as Coyote. Normal difficulty.
FerretWarlord improved time to 5:01!

gmv-moviefile
picture of Desert Demolition

Spiderman - The Animated Series

10:42 (20/5/2008)

Rom-file is Spiderman - The Animated Series (JUE) [!].

Hard difficulty. Venom takes 50 hits to beat! The Green Goblin also takes some time to beat but other three bosses are very easy. I'm not sure but if there's an armor suit item it could be faster to get it to halve the time against Venom.

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Stargate

16:18 (13/5/2008)

Rom-file is Stargate (JUE) [!].

Hard difficulty.
I collect all nuclear bomb pieces to get a "decent ending". Ra is destroyed but my team cannot return to Earth because I didn't collect all hieroglyphs.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Stargate

Stormlord

31:51 (3/5/2008)

Rom-file is Stormlord (J) [!].

Difficult game (in realtime) and movie desynchs easily.
No dying (Exclude the 9th level death because it can't be avoided).
Abusing death by rescuing faeries through bee swarms would save about one minute.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Stormlord

Daffy Duck in Hollywood

17:14 (25/04/2008)

Rom-file is Daffy Duck in Hollywood (JUE) [!].

This movie fails to get a proper ending because I couldn't find any golden movie awards. A few seconds improvement could be made with better elevator jumping and possibly slow down reduction (bubbling more enemies).

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Daffy Duck in Hollywood

Beauty and the Beast - Roar of the Beast

14:04 (18/04/2008)

Rom-file is Beauty and the Beast - Roar of the Beast (U) [!].

Far from optimal. I think it would be waste of time doing this seriously.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Beauty and the Beast

Aero the Acrobat

33:01 (16/04/2008)

Rom-file is Aero the Acro-Bat (U) [c][!].

19 levels and 4 bosses. The last fight is quite a long one.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Aero the Acrobat

Syd of Valis

10:41 (31/3/2008)

Rom-file is Valis Syd (U) [!].

Platformer for kids. Levels could have been longer.
First level can be done 95 frames faster but hex-editing doesn't work with this game. Fourth stage's final boss could also be improvable in the beginning of final form.

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Syd of Valis

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

7:23 (23/3/2008)

Rom-file is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (U) [c][!].

Played on Hard difficulty.
One intentional death in third level to regain health.
First level can be made 8 seconds faster. I'm not sure if 3rd level's strategy is the best choice.

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Earthworm Jim 2

0:37:03 (16/3/2008)

Rom-file is Earthworm Jim 2 (4) [!].

Puppy Love mid-levels take a lot of time.
Actually more than normal levels!

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Earthworm Jim

0:28:22 (28/2/2008)

Rom-file is Earthworm Jim (U) [!].

Flip from TASvideos is making a polished run which will be about 50 seconds faster!

Decap Attack

Rom-file is Decap Attack (UE) [!].

Beyond Oasis / Story of Thor

0:50:29 (26/8/2007)

Rom-file is Beyond Oasis (4) [!].

Lots of mistakes. Perhaps a little over one minute of improvements could be made.

Landstalker

2:21:14 (05/11/2005)

Rom-file is Landstalker - The Treasures of King Nole (U)[!].

Rambo III

9:47 (29/10/2005)
8:51 (01/02/2008)

Played on Hardest difficulty.
I was unaware of one secret passage which saves maybe 15 seconds,
so I might redo this in future.

Rom-file is Rambo III (REV 01) (JUE) [!].

Wonder Boy 3 - Monster Lair

20:58 (28/9/2005)

Expert difficulty
Rom-file is Wonderboy 3 - Monster Lair (JUE) [c][!].

gmv-moviefile / mirror

Toe Jam & Earl

18:28 (5/9/2005)

Toe Jam uses lots of super hitops, rocket skates and doorways to find rocket pieces as fast as possible. The game is much more fun when played with two players finding every item and enemy.
Rom-file is Toejam & Earl (REV 00) (U) [!].

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Toe Jam & Earl

Shining Force

5:25:46 (31/8/2005)

Because the game is so long I have made savegame-files for each chapter.
The Colossus-battle is not done very well because I just hoped to survive
through it :)

Amazing job from DarkKobold. 2:04:26.

Rom-file is Shining Force (U)[!].

gmv-moviefile / mirror
picture of Shining Force

Shining in the Darkness

1:54:19 (11/8/2005)

Tried to beat every boss with as low level as possible. Only little luck manipulation used to make experience-worthy enemies to appear when leveling. Fights a bunch of Crystal Oozes too!

Rom-file is Shining in the Darkness (U) [!].

Wonder Boy in Monster World

51:06 (20/5/2005)

Aqfaq finally beated this run by 10 minutes almost a year after this run. Check that amazing run at TASvideos!

Zool

0:47 (not complete)

Rom-file is Zool (U) [!].

1-1 complete. Hard difficulty = collect 55 candies.
On normal you need 50 candies. Could be good, there is speed but it's wasted on candy collecting.
