Hyper VI - Oh Haimari... Maybe It's Best We Part

[BobisOnlyBob]

Well this is tasteless.

Wasn't there another Japanese hack rao played that had some out-of-nowhere homophobia? Kinda reminds me of that.

Er, YUMP had unpleasant choice of words on an infamous level... can't recall a Japanese hack but it wouldn't surprise me.

there is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0idzdGhaw4&t=89s (what it has to do with any thing, I don't know -- pace MASH, suicide is now tasteless?)

I even left a 'yaranaika' on it! how could I forget!

I'm pretty sure Cup is just making stuff up at this point. "Held at gunpoint" isn't anywhere in that castle text. It's kinda funny though how all of the most memorable phrases and level names in these jp hacks tend to be the mistranslated ones.

Cup Translations: At Least It's Not Oyster

But seriously, I agree that some of the mistranslations we've seen over the years have a very lyrical quality to them.
"Where the Greenery is Kept" and "Well Then, Shall We Reveal the Truth Now?" are still some of my favorite level names, which is funny because they're not actually real level names.

Even in this instance "being held at gunpoint" is not really an inaccurate description of what it feels like to play this hack at times...

[Arctangent]

Quick 'n dirty translations may indeed know their hacks better than the creators themselves.

[Leet]

I... really liked this level!

raocow says that Haimari didn't take into account flying over the level, but I'm pretty sure they totally did and that's why raocow didn't get stuck in any of the places he went.

Well this is tasteless.

You might also be thinking of this one level in lategame VIP 1 which was named after a gay baseball player (I think?). I don't remember the level itself having any relation that I could see though, so I'm not really sure what the intention was.

I have to wonder if "Suicide City" is a reference to the also-inexplicably-named "Genocide City", a cut zone from Sonic 2.

[cozyduck]

I genuinely expected a little bit more angrycow from todays level, especially at the offscreen bob-ombs in the section where it forces you to walk around at the top of the screen, so good job!

[raocow]

I've been doing so well at avoiding one-more-leveling, why did I do it today ;_; ;_;

they don't call it suicide city for nothing

raocow if you want to try "copying your save" you could save your current progress at a save point, maybe by replaying an earlier ghost house or something, and then copy your hyper 6.smc and .srm file both to the snes9x folder then just start the game from the menu instead of loading a state.

[Leet]

I'm not entirely convinced that this is a snes9x/zsnes problem, though. I mean, it very well might not occur on zsnes, but I don't see a reason to assume so.

[Ryrir]

The reason the game crashed for raocow is because there are two versions of the game: Haimari's original version and SuperMaks' modified one.
The original version of the hack that was released by Haimari only works on ZSNES because he used the old addmusic tool.
SuperMaks tried to fix this problem by modifying the game using a modern music tool so it's playable on accurate emulators. However he (understandably) didn't play through the game extensively to make sure it works 100% of the time, which is why it crashed a couple of times.

I'm honestly unsure if switching to ZSNES while still using SuperMaks' version will fix it though. After all, that version still uses the modern music tool no matter which emulator it's being played on - and that appears to be causing the issue.

I guess if the game keeps crashing even after the switch to ZSNES I could just send him my .smc and .srm files since I've been playing along with him (using Haimari's original version)...

Also I think it's worth pointing out that raocow has been playing exceptionally well these last couple of videos. It takes a lot of patience and endurance to keep your calm with these levels being what they are.

Just a warning to not "one more level" Suicide City 3. Like you should know, but just warning you in advance.

[Grounder]

please move on soon raocow this hack isnt worth it

[Voltgloss]

There was at least one blue switch platform in today's fortress (to make the shell jumps at the end more reasonable), so hopefully hitting the blue switch will in fact be of help going forward.

[Jesuiscontent]

I'm pretty sure he wants to switch to zsnes because he can just rewind when that happens

Snes9x also has rewinds.

this is just one third of a game, just saying (in terms of expected number of episodes, an estimate)

That's assuming that raocow is actually using the latest 1.55 (or even just 1.54)

[Ometeotl]

What terrible levels.

Not according to that idiot in the comments of today's video who somehow thinks inconsistent level design tripping raocow up is somehow raocow's fault or the one from earlier this week who claimed raocow's faking it, lol.

[morsel/morceau]

raocow always plays exceptionally well; he's a much better and more patient player than some give him credit for. On the other hand, it's almost unbelievable the things he doesn't know or think of. Examples: The long jump with two podobos in the middle can be jumped unassisted from one tile (no podo-bounce required); the metroids can be burned, making the frustrating level much easier (just bring in a flower, or a mushroom and there's a flower in the box at the beginning).

[raocow]

YOU CAN BURN THEM ?

... dang it ...

He doesn't always play exceptionally well. He has off days like anyone. His real issue isn't even playing badly a lot of the time anyways. It's a matter of not really putting enough thought into his actions or not paying enough attention. Neither of which were actually a huge issue in this video anyways.

Your examples, for example (lol), aren't terribly unreasonable. The podobo jump one actually makes sense for raocow since he tends to be overly cautious and the metroid one is a really easy oversight if you're not quick to consider bringing in external powerups.
