Competition Central / Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) - issue with emulators
« on: February 20, 2015, 09:43:57 pm »
The Dreamcast emulators are currently allowed for Sonic Adventure competition, under the conditions that it runs the game at full speed. But when I watched some videos of emulators running Sonic Adventure and when I tested it myself, I spotted some huge inaccuracy in comparision to the real console. I've tested NullDC, Chankast and Demul emulators, and all of them had this same issue. This inaccuracy is basically how the emulator handles speed while the character is in mid-air, watch it yourself:



This was recorded in NullDC 1.0.4-389 emulator.

The first part of the video was done by simply spindashing over that gap (without jumping). You should fall down and die around in the middle of the gap, but in DC emulators you can barely clear the gap.

In the other part of the video, I show how that issue affects Tails's flying. I show how Tails flies without the flying upgrade then how he does it with that. You can spot that both of them had pretty much the same speed, although flying with the upgrade should be around 2 times faster than flying without it (which flying without it was already much faster than it should ever be).

This inaccuracy also affects automated script sections, which may end up on the character flying off of the ground and falling for his dead or landing on a later spot in the stage.

I've also seen some runs of Speed Highway as Tails (although I can't find them anymore) that beat the current legit WR by 7-8 seconds by abusing that emulator issue.

My suggestion about this all is to completely ban DC emulators for Sonic Adventure competition, unless someone finds an emulator that fixes this issue (which I couldn't).

Hiya Folks / Hi, I'm THC98 :D
« on: July 21, 2011, 01:12:11 pm »
I'm THC98, I like so much Sonic as everyone here. My favorite Sonic game is Sonic Adventure DX, I compete here in Time Attacks principally. I don't like Time/Score Attacks... (enemies suck!) So, if you guys want help with some SADX shortcuts, I can help with good tips :D

That's it.
