>>342807739
What's a Pedro spot? Presumably he has a video on it, can you link it.

Nothing stops you from using 8, 16, or 32 bit numbers in a 64 bit system.

It's funny how some of the simplest things are insurmountable while other impossible-looking stars have been 0xA for a while now.
>>342809128
Of fucking course he has a video. My god. Does he never step back and realize this is fucking pointless? He's not playing the game, he's doing this exploitations of the physics engines. But for what end? None of this matters. It's not even that interesting. It's just some game he played as a kid and became obsessed with.
but to answer that

You could argue this about everything in life. Life by definition is meaningless. We just make life meaningful to us by choosing what we do.
>>342809343
It's a hobby, anon. Deconstructing and picking apart a mechanical system, and then composing methodologies and solutions to self imposed problems. To him, it's fun.
Did he really wait 2 years?
>>342809653
yes
>>342809653
Do you take him as a liar?
>>342809653
probably sped up the in game clock through emulation
>>342809653
Doubtful. He's a TASer. He'll have either used emulator speed up's or just simulating the end values by hacking memory and then extrapolating the amount of time it would have taken from the tickrate of the game under normal conditions.
>>342807959
And instead he just focuses on TTC
If they wanted, they'd have had any% months ago
Now, you're probably wondering what I'm gonna need this Bob-omb for,
after all, I do let the fuse cook for over 19000 hours.

From his FAQ:
>Finally, I’d like to answer a question that I’ve been getting since the beginning, which is: Why? Why play the game with limited functionality? What’s the point of executing these complicated techniques when a simple A press would accomplish the same thing? Well, the answer is because it’s fun and interesting!
>>342809916
>Building up speed for 12 hours to hop between parallel universes
>Stalling a bob-omb's explosion for 828 days
Is there anything that Mario can't do in this game?
>>342810839
get off a pole without an a press
>>342810092
He got the coin in BitS?
>>342811086
Scuttlebug can hit Mario off of one if it's been raised high enough
>>342811086
There's a lot of shit that seems downright impossible without an A press.
Like, how the fuck is he going to whittle Wing Mario over the Rainbow to 0 A presses?
>>342811240
not in the Fire Sea
>>342811161
No, I mean the one in Tiny-Huge Island that no one could get for 18 years. The Mystery Goomba's coin is actually impossible.
>>342804909
obligatory
>>342811086
Can't he clone a bomb-omb or fire to the top of that pole?
>>342811628
Apparently everything he can use to get off the pole without jumping requires getting past the pole to begin with
>>342811719
Well fuck.
Would have thought you could do some shenanigans with the bullies in the same way you could with bomb-ombs.
>>342811086
You can slide all the way down a pole to get off
>>342812531
The point is to get off of the top of it

>Mario has crossed into a QPU where bob-bombs take 1600 days to explode
>>342813550
>Half of the video is the credits
Fantastic
>>342813638
He raised them to a vertical PU because if they touched a wall there they'd snap to the actual wall in the level.
>>342813749
That sentence makes no sense.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPfMATdVN-w
>>342812680
From zero to bullshit in 6 coins.
>>342813927
Basically all of Stryder's other videos are more interesting, this is just a data overflow.
I honestly can't wait to hear what commentary he'd have for the zero A press run, assuming he can get past the pole one day.
>>342812680
>This seems rather normal
>One minute in
>Fucking pinball
That's amazing
>>342812680
So wait, did he somehow save his momentum from landing in the water with that backwards jump thing?
I bet he had a real blast discovering this.
>>342814143
Yeah, water for some reason saves your momentum, allowing for crazy shit like storing a speed and unleashing it elsewhere
>>342807434
Sure, just let me put my game-playing on hold for...what is that, two years and three months?...just to make a bomb not explode after thirteen seconds.
That fucking retard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BnR4hEvtRs
>>342814212
Neat
This is a total guess and I'm sure someone out there knows the real answer, but maybe it saves Mario's speed in water as a separate value from his speed out of the water.
>>342814143
>>342814212
>>342814274
There's an actual answer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhXONwmKZDI
>>342814383
Oh, so if you make a movement that uses sliding speed for the calculations on something immediately after exiting the water, after storing a fucking absurd sliding speed, you just rocket off at that speed.
Makes sense
>>342813550
I've never played that game before, how does he do a combo that near insta-kills the final boss?
>>342814591
He's play as Maxim, a really fucking overpowered bonus character you unlock after beating the game
Harmony of Dissonance isn't exactly very hard in the first place
>>342814690
I see, that makes sense then
>>342814793
A lot of Castlevanias have at least one bonus mode like that where you get to play as some other character. Maxim mode or Richter mode are pretty much always game breaking

>>342816035
Clearly I choose mei, same as every other match.
>>342812680
i remember i could never figure out how to get the ship as a kid so i always did this
I don't get one thing about his QPU videos.
After building up speed for the 12+ hours, how does he initiate the actual "warp"? Like what stick movements or button presses does he make to go from "build speed" to "move"?
>>342816926
walls in the game are just a box that push you out if you try to walk in, with enough speed you can go right past their push-back area and straight through them
TELEPOR
>>342816926
I think he just nudges mario in the direction he wants him to go. He only needs to take one step to cross to the desired PU afaik. The rest of the time is just waiting for Mario's speed to hit the exact right number to get to the point he wants him to be.
I feel like pannenkoek is the kind of guy who will have an amateur documentary made about him some day.

It only took 20 years, but here we are
>>342817359
he didn't edit the game's variable though, he only uses the external tool to show them
with 828 days worth of patience even (You) can have your own personal bob-omb butler
>>342817549
Read the comments he edited it. The waiting thing is only an estimate
>>342816926
Not sure but I think while he's building up speed he's at an angle where the movement vector would take him into the void between PUs, so the game doesn't see it as a valid movement and doesn't move Mario. When he has the right speed he rotates Mario so the vector leads into the QPU; the game thinks this is valid so it moves him.
>>342817359
No you tool he didn't edit shit. This is behavior that can be triggered in completely unmodded SM64 with no outside tools.

The problem is, only enemies that damage mario can knock him off a pole, but the only enemies low enough to grab before the pole are bullies, which can't damage mario

The best part is, this is currently his most viable solution to the TTC box pedro spot.
So the actual run of SM64 No A Button could take literal years for a TASbot to complete.
>>342804909
Is this guy really trying to 100% the game without any A presses? I think he should realize that any exploit that could potentially attain any star would also trivialize any of the solutions that have been found so far.

it'd be fine if it then didn't turn into people trying to argue that he actually has mental issues instead of just calling him a fag and being done with it.
>>342809343
Kill yourself.
>>342816782
You cheeky wanker
Isn't there like a debug menu in this game where you can see how many times you pressed A? I wonder how mad this pancake autist would be if he saw that you can't actually press a button 0.5 times.
>>342823918
You don't "press a button half times", a half press is just a state where you don't follow through the press (meaning it's not released during the period in which a-presses are counted)
>>342823918
There might be, but even then there technically isn't even "half" an A press. When he says he used "half" a press to get a star, he just means holding the A button down after pressing it outside of the level.
>>342824071
Who says the presses are only counted inside a level?
>>342824276
literally the rules of the a-press challenge
If you are showing the run for a specific star, you are only going to count the a-presses that are directly a part of it
>>342824276
Nobody.
He's doing a run of the entire game. So if he needs to press A on BitFS, but he only needs to have A HELD on a later star, he can do BitFS, press A, keep it held, and then go do the next star before releasing it. This is, technically, a single press of the A button, stretched across multiple levels.
Documenting a level as requiring "0.5x A presses" is just a shorthand way of saying "this strategy can't be used in a full 0x A press run, but if I've already got an A press, this strategy won't add ANOTHER A press". That takes a lot of space to type.
>>342821504

Okay, the speed buildup n shit can easily be done with hex editing one value
this one tho...
>>342827519
Easily achieved by a script that you let run for as long as you need. He didn't actually sit down 13 hours (or longer, if he fucked up) and do repetitive motions for that amount of time.

My God! If you overflow a counter, it resets! Someone quick, alert the presses!

I'm watching his Rolling Rocks video for the first time and... Holy shit. I'm sorta understanding it and it blows my mind that he was able to come up with all this stuff and come up with a relatively easy to understand video on the subject.
>>342805507
He's making some really good process with it though. Already saved an a press on it
>>342827519
>scuttlebug raising
I dont understand how that helped him accomplish this. Was that how he jumped up the bookcases, with thoe scuttlebugs?
How the fuck does that work?
>>342831981
The scuttlebugs were just inside the wall when he went up to the secret area, after killing the books, he basically jumped up them to boost to the secret area
>>342832105
And what was the method by which he raised them there?
I mean, it's obvious what the motions are to achieve it, but what are the mechanics at play here?
>>342832260
he explains it in another one of his videos, the Hazy Maze Cave one I think, something to do with taking advantage of their aggro range and the little hop they do when they spot you
>>342832260
Watch his 0.5x a-press Watch for Rolling Rocks vid, he explains it there.
Basically Mario moves into their radius and they try to jump at him, but he then moves out of their activation radius and that causes them to freeze mid-jump - he can then run away and they'll reset at a greater height - rinse and repeat.
>>342832404
>>342832474
There's a certain kind of genius at work here.
>>342809095
Even on a 0 star run, you need to get past it, damn.

Why can't Nintendo just give him the source code of SM64? This guy is going full autismo, it sure is impressive that he managed to figure out all the programming behind held objects and variables and everything else, but obsessing so much over reverse engineering a game can't be healthy for him. If I were someone at Nintendo, I'd "leak" the code so that this guy would finally find peace.

>>342834871
Nintendo probably don't have it.
Also how the game itself work is well known due years of reverse engineering.
It's how stuff work with each other that is the mistery that not even the source can solve.
>>342834871
No need for the source code when you have MHS.

What did you learn? Pannen himself seems to know very little about programming, he also often refers to "signals" being sent but there is no such things in programming. All you learned is variables and maybe strings which is less than what you learn in the first 2 pages of any programming book.
