Let's Play JUMP! A talkhaus non-ASMT Mario Romhack - Ep79c FINAL - Won 1F8

I forget if youtube will only process at 60fps if you upload at 1080p

720p should work iirc. Plus it does say 60fps in the quality setting when you select it

I double checked the emulator too, it says 60fps. Maybe it's the upscaler I'm using, making the video look off? Using Dxtory to record, it's set to 60fps too. Ah well. Maybe someone will stop by the thread who knows how to make all this work!

[Zach808]

Does the video look exactly the same as what it looks like when you're playing? If it does, then your emulator might be running at 30fps. Come to think of it, if you've been playing at 30fps all this time, that could help explain some of the bad playing. Playing SMW at 30fps is absolutely god-awful. That video is absolutely not 60fps.

Yep, I was looking through all of the settings and found out that for some reason, the emulator was skipping every other frame. Like, really. Is that a default setting of Snex9x? Turned it off, the game looks so different, it's actually running 60fps. I'll upload something shortly to show it off. Man, I've been such an idiot all this time!

[Zach808]

Yeah, never ever try to play a platformer at less than 60fps, no matter how cinematic people claim it is. I remember playing Super Mario Bros for the NES in a browser emulator that only ran at 30fps, and I just couldn't do it. Every single precision jump would kill me.

I'm a big idiot, honestly!

Here's a test video, now in actual 720p and 60fps. I can't believe I've been playing with a stupid frameskip on all this time, seeing only 30fps.
Furthest in Cryophobic Cavern so far. Feat. actual 60fps, I hope

In two hours this is how far I made it in Cryophobic Cavern. 1 hour and 16 minutes of voice recording was corrupted, so yeah, this really isn't my night! What is it that I'm doing so wrong? I keep dying in the exact same ways as yesterday's video. It also doesn't help that the music is super depressing (at least to me) - I needed to take a few breaks during the recording to get my mood back up, since the music made me feel that bad, ha!

[nathanisbored]

I'm assuming youre using snes9x v1.53? What setting did you change to get it back to 60fps? I just wanna check mine to make sure lol

v1.53, yes. In the video display configuration menu option, set frame skipping to automatic and set the max skipped frames to zero. If you click "show frame rate" in the video menu, it should read "60fps 60/60" in the bottom right corner. When my settings were wrong, it read "60fps 30/60", indicating that it was only showing me half of the frames.

ok cool thanks, mine seems normal

[Zach808]

Well, you're almost at the midpoint, so good luck. The second half really is a lot easier than the first, especially now that you'll be playing at 60fps.

It made a big difference in the precision, I think!

Here's the result!
Ep41b - Frigid Fumbling - First video in actual 720p60fps!

[nathanisbored]

The Richest Storehouse actually can't be unlocked through world 7, so Cryrophobia Cavern is the only way to unlock it (and Gormet Hindrance). Gormet Hindrance is a completely optional level which doesn't unlock anything except an exit (doesn't even have Dragon Coins) and it's pretty neat, but also pretty hard, so check it out at any time, but no pressure to complete it. I vote for Mushroom Tripper.

[xfix]

The Richest Storehouse - Nurykabe - Naufrages (decided to upload this track, as there was no real good video of that one)

Congratulations on beating Cryophobia Cavern. Voting for the only level that is likely to not be too hard (just kidding, but pretty sure rest of levels you have access to would be multiple parts): Mushroom Tripper.

It's a great track! Thank you :D

New episode! Mushroom Tripper won the vote unanimously!
Ep42 - Shroom Stagger

Next vote: Manky Bridge or The Smog that Smiles Back? Vote Now!!

[xfix]

Next vote: Manky Bridge or The Smog that Smiles Back? Vote Now!!

(not linking music, because it was already used before (World 3 Ice Castle), and I'm somewhat busy)

I vote for The Smog that Smiles Back, because it's smiling, so it cannot be bad.

[QubicTom]

So far I've got one vote for every level unlocked - Manky Bridge, The Smog that Smiles Back, Super Grand Ultra Marathon of Finalness and Gourmet Hindrance! I am going to record shortly, probably, so help break that tie folks! And please, have mercy D:

[raocow]

just play smogtown man, I don't want you to be sad

[Zach808]

Are these people suggesting the marathon level out of their minds? This is still version 1.01 here. D:

[Isocitration]

Sorry, but I'm secretly hoping for a 4-way tie! :D

[nathanisbored]

Are these people suggesting the marathon level out of their minds? This is still version 1.01 here. D:

Fine, I'll change my vote to Disarray

[xfix]

And because nathan did change a vote, I will change my vote to Marathon. It sounds like a fine level, and easier than alternatives (other than Smog Level).

[QubicTom]

Fine, I'll change my vote to Disarray

Nobody will be strong-armed to change their vote in this democracy

Taking nathonisbored's original vote into account, the winner is Super Grand Ultra Marathon of Finalness! Um, I'll be starting recording in just a few minutes, but expect a late video, and probably just part 43a You came for the trainwreck, you stay for the train burning to the ground!

[QubicTom]

Welp, here it is!
Ep43 - Ultra Uncompromising

The recording took 2 hours 30 minutes, most of which was cut out in editing. But, I've decided to also upload the full, unedited version. Because I can I'll put the link here soon. It's taken about 6 hours to upload, it's still processing, ha
Here's the unedited version!
Ep43 - Ultra Uncompromising [Unedited]

I decided to upload this because it was the first time in awhile that I actively tried to improve my play-style and commentary. The commentary is kept up for the full 2 and a half hours, for the most part, while the playing goes from very sloppy to more consistent and more pragmatic. So yeah, that's that!

Next up: Getting the damned dragon coins!

[markyjoe1990]

Oh wow, you beat the old version. Nice one. You can probably see why I got rid of the dragon coin gimmick in later versions.

Also I need to find a better way to indicate those bloody homing thwomps.

I thought the warning system you set up was perfect!

Here's my attempt at the Dragon Coin run
