@shroomie oooh the Conway one, not the outside one.

@wallhackio @coriander @monorail @rockario Traditionally you measure a TAS by the length of the movie file. That's usually measured in frames but this trick requires you to change your inputs mid-frame, pressing different buttons each time the game polls for inputs, so it's measured in cycles

@wallhackio @coriander @monorail @rockario old games don't run at 30 FPS (well, at least not intentionally)

all (most?) old 2D consoles run at 60 FPS

fwiw, the N64 generally runs at 20 FPS
