How to convert TAS to RTA timing
5 years ago
United States

I make TASes of SMB 1 pretty often, and I always see people on YouTube with to separate times, one Real Time Attack and the other Tool Assisted Speed timing. I just subtract the first frame I see "400" on the timer from the frame I see Mario touch the Axe. Then my runs are like 5:07, when they are like 4:58 pace. IDK. Thanks so much for help ;)

I usually do NTSC with the USA ROM. Although the last tas I did was on PAL. Thanks.

So you want a link to the video? (Also I don't know what IL means)

And I am sorry I didn't respond for so long

I put two in a folder because I don't know which is faster. (These are the best of my PAL tasses BTW)

Thanks roopert83! (I’m kinda new to SMB)

Nevermind... I just did a tas that wasn't pal and is sub 5.

Well I finish the tas in like 3 days or 4 days ago (I don't remember). I kind of time it manually and the result was 5:06.59 I don't know what was the exact time because I made a mistake that I created the tas in Super Mario Bros. + Duck hunt + World Class rom. But anyways I thought you're not quite new to speedrun this game well I'm quite new too you know. I also have a problem about speedrun.com were when the notification s never come so it's hard time to reply and also, "Timezones".

The timer starts the frame that you see "400" on the clock in 1-1, and ends on the frame you hit the axe/frame everything disappears when hitting the axe.

Philippines

I actually managed to do it by calculate on how many frames past after the timer starts at 400 and at the axe using Bowser's patterns. I'm just messing up 4-2 and get 375 which means i turn my tas into any% non Glitchless.
