Is this real or fake?
« on: January 20, 2007, 11:48:15 am »
I while back i posted a screenshot from a rom i had when i got 17 seconds on emerald hill act 1 on sonic 2 and then i got banned lol. But anyway i was looking around on the net and found this video someone has recorded using gens movie 9f and they got 17 seconds. However it looked a bit fake since the view was a bit jumpy at times. Anyway look for yourselfs and make a judgement. Here is the emulator and i will add the movie as an attachment.

Emulator :

to play it i think you go options then play movie. Then select it and just go on play movie again.

That's called a TAS video.  Your screenshot was obviously fake because the time bonus and the time shown did not match.

TAS, or Tool Assisted Speedrun, means using features such as slow-down and save states to overcome human limitations (reaction times, errors, whatever).

BS, or Bull Shit, means faking screenshots to avoid the BANHAMMER.

The vid is category 1, you are category 2.
This topic has now been officially won by me.  Never mind, you might do better next time!

I was asking about this not about why i got banned. Anyway i thought it looked a bit strange because of the view jumping now and again.

If it's skipping, that's probably lag on your end from running the CPU-intensive emulator.

There's an AVI file available for that run, and it should be more watchable in that form.

No i dont mean like that but with me sometimes it seems as though the view focuses on tails for a split second and then jumps back to sonic. Its not frame skipping or anything i can tell.
