zelda: lttp in a min and a half?

[its_hey_ma]

I know everyone has seen the video where it was beat under 1 min 30sec., but can anyone explain it. It still boggles my mind and I've tried to do that wierd backwards speed walk thing with no avail

[Bleetness]

You got a link to said video? Thats like a record damn, I mean Mario 64 in 20 minutes I can understand, since its broken as hell. But this in 1 minute and 30 seconds?

[MarkMan]

I've seen this video, and the glitch he uses was pretty cool looking lol.

Never seen that yet. Forgot where I DL'd it though :/

Here is a two minute one:

to me, that isnt really beating a game quickly....its just going from start to end sequence quickly...he didnt beat anything...just used a games exploits to see something early.....

....now im not saying it didnt take skill and searching to find out how to do that / do that, but it isnt beating the game...

[its_hey_ma]

Ok, so it took 1 min 45 sec to beat. I was off by 15 seconds. But this is the link:

Anyone have any clue how he did that though, as I can't seem to figure it out. I also can't figure out that super fast moonwalk he had going on

[its_hey_ma]

Also, on the topic of super fast game beatings, does anyone else have links to stuff like this? Such as the Mario 64 or that super fast mario bros one? Or any others

[SkiDragon]

Yeah, I could beat it fast too if I cheated.

[its_hey_ma]

Yeah, I could beat it fast too if I cheated.

Please, do cheat. And then send me your video of you doing it along with an explanation on how you did it. Cheat or not, I'd like to know how it was done

There's a shit load of awesome speedruns at Speed Demos Archive, but some of those video captures suck hardcore. It's like they recorded it on a videotape in SLP mode then rerecorded to another vhs tape in SLP mode and then captured off of that (Mario 64, in particular)

If there's one thing I like about the tool assisted videos, it's that they're clean, direct captures from the emulators. There's a ton of them on Bisqwit's site. In particular I reccomend the Megaman X & X2 dual speed run, which is quite an ingenious feat.

Thanks for the links

What do I need to be able to view the files on that site?

[FireMillen]

Not sure the details but I heard that in order to do this cheat you have to be able to press left and right at the same time

Again, not sure, but maybe he either modified a controller or used emulation to do it.

[Leroy]

Oh, he beat it on an emulator. How cute.

[its_hey_ma]

Oh, he beat it on an emulator. How cute.

Is this for sure? Cause I was really hoping this was possible on the console :/

[Bleetness]

Im sure you can, just gotta break your controller.

[Bleetness]

Oh heres the mario 64 speed run. He uses a few glitches, But its somewhat entertaining. http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/...o_Bros_64.html

[Jorpho]

Wasn't this discussed in an earlier thread? I pointed out http://www.kontek.net/davidwonn/ at the time as a good source for the various Zelda glitches. The glitch in question requires you to press up and down on the D-pad at the same time, though (perhaps left and right works as well, as previously stated), so it doesn't seem to be listed. There are still some ways to reach the ending unusually quickly, though.

(Did you know it's possible to beat Link's Awakening in five minutes? You don't even need to bust your controller for that one.)

[its_hey_ma]

well, i can press up and down at the same time without breaking my controller via the power plug so I'll try that out. Yeah, it was brought up earlier in a castlevania thread, out of the blue actually. I'm still interested in how it happened
