I have played a lot yesterday.
I am still shocked HOW MARVELOUS, FANTASTIC, UNBELIEVABLE this game is.

But I am having difficult times to find the BOMBS.
Just found the SUPER JUMP at the moment.
The labyrinth feeling is really, really well done.
Puzzles me all the time.

Also, I have found a place where Samus gets stuck if morphed into ball form
and two places with glitches where Samus gets wall clipping problems.

Informing DEVs right now by email.

Watch this frame by frame. 2 emulators running at the same time on Core i7 4770k 4GHZ stable frequency (intel speed step off) CPU. Emulators eats inputs from Logitech F310 at the same time (switch to the X). Recorded by obs in 60 fps with low bitrate with nvenc to prevent any unnecessary cpu usage. All possible applications and services where off. Vsync in all emulators is off. puNES is x64 last version and fceux last version builded from sourcecode. I think this is the best condition for this test that you can get in real world.

Where is mario jumping first in most times? But this is only a video. You can easily feel how bad puNES eats input if you play something like battletoads and tries to do dash jumps all over the place. And RD already pretty laggy game with a lot of precise jumps that sometimes not that easy to make because of lag. Because your character constantly changing it moving speed depends on how bad lag is. And most testers are "casual" testers. If they listen to you and start using puNES - they will deal with game lag that makes it hard to control some times + input lag again that makes it a little bit more difficult to control. And there is would be absolutely no benefit from puNES accuracy for beta test. It's better to use fceux or nestopia (they are the same in terms of input lag) to get better feeling of the game, than puNES that gives you actually nothing

edit: and why you want to use real console + everdrive? Look at the table that you post! Real console + everdrive have less accuracy than puNES  You have to buy some game that uses official mmc3 board and remade it to RD

I appreciate your response but would rather we continue this discussion in PM to elaborate further and so I can turn off my 'internal chat filter'.  I'd rather not derail the thread any further.  I'm not downloading video from a random dropbox so please upload it to YT or another video-sharing website as an unlisted link.  Use of DropBox is something that I'd rather avoid if possible.  Thanks.

Nice touch, laputanmachine.
I agree with you.
Let's keep the focus on the game itself!

Regards, guys!

You can't see the difference on youtube, because there is no function on youtube to go frame advance in video. And there is only 1 or 2 frames difference in video between mario's jumps. You have to use some media player or virtual dub or something that allows you to go frame advance.

Sorry. This is my last post about this. I think i have right to answer to this

edit: I think i'm going now to the last locations. At least it looks like last location    I can't hold myself and i want to say... After collecting some last rockets in some location i get some crazy glitch that warped me to the place close to the last location. It was pretty convenient Sorry for "spoiling" this :C

I actually saw a difference, but there are two things I wonder:
1. Why is one window on focus and the other not? Can't one simply put the focus on Notepad or something else and use background inputs?
2. What is their priority? Priority affects things more than you think. Example: running the old La-Mulana on Windows 10 requires you to set Priority to Realtime or else there will be HUGE slowdowns at moments (like bosses)

I didn't think that focus matters :C I don't know if puNES can run in background and can eat inputs in background. Priority was by default. And don't think that with 4 core cpu with 8 threads it really matters.
And i can feel input lag while playing battletoads. So even when puNES running alone i still feel input lag.
C'mon guys! You can do this by yourself in any conditions you want if you didn't trust me :C This is truly my last post on this theme

edit: i finished the game. I think i missed 2 rocket upgrades :C I'll try to find them and then i send my report

edit2: I send my report. Didn't find rockets :C

The beta starts now and will end in one week (November 6th), please have all your feedback submitted on or before November 7th so we can work any issues during the week and release the following weekend!  Thanks for your help everyone!

We’ll run the beta for one week, the beta ends on the 9th, please provide feedback on or before the 10th of  October.

What's wrong Grimlock?

Don't underestimate the impact priority has on a game. As in the example I told you of: La-Mulana with Aeon Genesis Translation. A game that run perfectly fine on Windows XP, but requires a minor compatibility adjustment AND Real Time priority on Windows 10, disregard of how many other processes are running in the background.

Found one of the missing missile / rocket upgrades!!! YEAH! I think just one left to 100% completion of the game 

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Grimlock, could you please include me in the beta? I requested it and listed my email address several pages back, but didn't get an email or pm from you.

My email address is satoshimatrix@hotmail.com.Please, I really want to do my part and help bug fix this!
Thanks!

[chikadubi]

 This romhack just so cool with all that secrets.

[laputanmachine]

That feeling when I was invited to the beta, waited 3 days, and still nothing.

[chikadubi]

Oh! I finally found all rocket upgrades! Last one was in forest area! 

[cospefogo]

I wasn't even able to find the bombs for the morphing ball...
 

[seanph]

Report sent. I am loving this game. I can't stop playing it.

Sorry about the delay, I had some unexpected things come up on the personal front.  I'll have the PM sent later today.

Hi Grimlock is it too late to be a part of this? I thought I had requested to be part of the beta, but I could be mistaken. 

[chikadubi]

Is it known when game would be released to public? :C I really want to freely discus it and post some videos

Just an outside opinion here:
I think you are a terrible beta tester just for asking this, despite how brilliant you may be at hunting and reporting bugs.
You sound like you are just barely restraining yourself, or at least publicly.  Your question shouldn't even be public.

Grimlock has been giving regular updates, and they have all been "when it's done."  SHEESH
