Huh, 2 weeks have passed already? Time really does fly. Sorry for the lack of updates, general life stuff got in the way.
I've been hammering and hammering at all the spots where floor drilling is possible on Kega Fusion, and it has consistently resulted in a whole lot of nothing. I've also intermittently tried to use pause buffering to my advantage, but it still resulted in... drum roll please... still nothing.
At around 2 AM last night, I realized that I was way in over my head, and if the pros couldn't do it, I almost definitely couldn't either.
Ah, but f*ck it. I'm in way too deep now. After all that big talk, I have to contribute at least something.
So, starting today, instead of trying to pull off the trick RTA, I'm instead going to attempt (emphasis on attempt) to dissect the glitch using BizHawk to see if there's anything I'm just missing.
I'd say wish me luck, but I know y'all can only give so much.
This TAS has been sitting online for 12 years and nobody has even brought it up? If even one of the glitches used were to be implemented into RTA runs, there could be a large potential for time save.
In the notes for an earlier TAS (https://tasvideos.org/2564S), he explains how to do each glitch, and none of them seem impossible, if not very hard to pull off.
Heck, I'm practicing floor drilling right now, and I feel like I'm getting decently close. Could just be me, though.

When I mean hitboxes, I'm talking about the amount of space a required character needs to have on a photo for it to progress the game.
I only ask this now because on one of my attempts for TV Show, I managed to get a photo of the screaming square to count, even though the only bit of him visible was the edges of his hair.
I have video evidence of this, specifically at 0:36 in this video:
Apologies if this is already known, I haven't been in the community for that long. I just haven't really seen anything like it, and if this is replicable, could potentially lower the TV Show WR.
Just wanted to check, since there aren't any rules that state which ones aren't allowed.
What really counts as playing an game? Does the opponent being auto-resigned count? I've been recording runs for the 4-Player Chess, Play A Game category and nearly all my runs have ended with someone being AFK for too long and the game ending, and I just wanted to see if I could submit those.
Well, thanks anyway. Guess I'm stuck with the 2.0 version. Hopefully, it'll be fine enough to run with.
Hmm... actually I haven't. Let me try that.
Update: Sorry, it still didn't work.
While it does make actually applying the patch easier (which definitely is appreciated), it doesn't fix the fact that I can't patch the game using the .rar file that's listed in Resources.
I still thank you for bringing my knowledge to FLIPS, since it definitely will help me in the future, it's just that it doesn't really solve the issue at hand.
Quick question: is it okay for me to use the already patched file even though it's not 2.1? I actually already tried using it and it seems to work fine. Are there any differences between version that make the game harder to run?
P.S.: Sorry for the multitude of questions. I'm really new to ROM hacks.
I want to play it on my PC. I was getting desperate so I went for a tutorial meant for mobile since I thought that would at least give me a bit of a clue what to do. I actually already downloaded the files from the Resources tab too and the same things happened.
While trying to find a hack of this game, every website I find it in list it as a .rar file. However, the web patcher that the guide sends me to doesn't support the .rar format, so every time I try to patch my MK64 Rom, an error message stating "Unknown Patch Format" appears. However, I don't know how to convert my .rar file into a format that the patcher actually supports. What's even stranger is that while looking up tutorials that hopefully be more in-depth, I found one that had a download link to an already patched file, even that one was the 2.0 version. Here's the video if you're interested.
What the heck should I do? Should I use the file even though it's outdated? Is there a way to solve my predicament? Any help would be appreciated.
