I’m one of those obsessive TH-cam watchers. I very rarely watch TV, and subscribe to TH-cam premium. I’m subscribed to hundreds of channels, but yours is the only one I’ve turned on notifications for. I’ve been hooked since the DJ equipment repair days, and every time you branch out to a new area, it just happens to be another one of my hobbies. Keep up the amazing work!

Been watching TAS Blocks at GDQ for years now and I never realized you are involved in this project. Last OoT run during TAS Block was mindblowing, my jaw dropped couple of times watching it.
Man I've got one of these built by PCB way sitting right in front of me. I've hand built the cables for my consoles, but I have absolutely no idea how to flash the firmware or anything to this thing to make it work...
@@TheRasteri Ive been off and on with this, my main stump is python, Ive tried installing it and the modules, and I just get an invalid syntax error, which I have no idea what that is... I attempted getting help in the tasbot lab discord, but it stumped everyone else too.. Have you or anyone in the community considered a step by step video on how to get one of these programmed? I feel like if I literally copied exactly what someone was doing in a video in another window, I could get this up and running.
I love the time-lapsed imagery of the computer playing Random Smash Character Roulette all night. Is it using a giant lookup table to find known sequences? Or is the GameCube algorithm simple enough to smash compute everything live every time, just like with a DVD?
we actually tried syncing to the Gamecube video signal but Melee has a variable amount of lag... full explanation here - th-cam.com/video/_VC9MHGVpDQ/w-d-xo.html
The NES controller has 7 pins, but the RJ45 connector has 8. Does it matter which one is left out? Other than that, this is an amazing project and what you're doing here is incredible.
Would it be possible to adapt this to original arcade PCBs, by e.g. connecting the HALT signal on the main CPU and using that to sync the input timing?
Potentially yes. Although, I'm not sure what the best sync method would be. At the very least, you could use the video signal to roughly measure the frame count. This is how I've verified movies on the Atari 2600. But I suspect arcade systems might have different quirks that could affect replayability.
I usually watch 3 or 5 times every year the same TAS of Alien Soldier since at least 6 or 7 years. I thinked that i have a tiny OCD disorder, now i'm thinking that i'm not a weirdo. Man, every video topic you post is pure gold far beyond the level of a peasant hobbist. Please dive more on TAS or the TAS32.

Why not have a video recording included alongside the macro files for each system? You can reduce the quality of course to black and white for size (it would still be big, but work on every system with indeterministic pauses) You can sync it directly to the commands so at any point it could check frames in proximity to sync the command it's expecting if it detects that the frames don't match. Playing it blindly gives you nothing to "verify" the success of the messages sent.

Great job! Thanks for highlighting a great community and a pretty nice replay device :)

Wow, this is wild! Very, very cool stuff.
Can you playback on the SNES classic the mini one?

Flash instructions are in the tastm32 github. The first time you flash, you might have to jumper across the DFU pins (J13) to put it in DFU mode.

@@NERDmNERDf hey, send me an email - my email is in my profile. I'll try to help best I can.

The current RNG value is plugged into a simple formula to compute the next value. Each character is mapped to an integer.
I wonder if syncing could be made easier by adding a video input and some special code. Just an idea, I have no clue if it would actually work.

Hi. Where can i find the rj45 to nes snes ect.... ports adapter and how can i use it? I only neded an controler and an rj45 cable?
The NES controller has 7 pins, but the RJ45 connector has 8. Does it matter which one is left out? Other than that, this is an amazing project and what you're doing here is incredible.
hey! yeah the pinout diagrams are on the tastm32 github, as you say one pin is left out of the NES and SNES controllers

I can't find the SMB in SMW TAS file anywhere. Can you send me a link? A bk2 or fm2 would be ideal.
It's part of the tastm32 test suite. Check the wiki on github
@@TheRasteri Is it possible to convert this to bk2 or fm2 to use on emulator?
@@8BitPlumber1 oh no I don't think it is, speak to p4plus2, the author of SMW-SMB
How should I contact him?
