After doing a little reasearch, I came across some replay files for VirtuaNES 0.37. The maker of the movies beats Battletoads, only losing one life in the process. They are divided up into the 4 different blocks of stages in the game. I'm not sure if this thread should go in the Guinness Book or here, so I won't take offense if any of you mod-types move it.
Things you need to view the replay:
- VirtuaNES v0.37 English. NOTE: The replay files will only work properly with this version of VirtuaNES.
- The Battletoads NES ROM file (Battletoads (U).NES)
- The four replay files, in Zip form. Keep these in a seperate directory from the emu.
- A Windows operating system, as the emu is Win-only.
- A fast enough PC to run the emu (my Celeron 500 works fine).
- An archive program that can compress the zip files.
Start the emu, load Battletoads, then go to Edit/Movie/Replay and find the replay vid you want to run. The Battletoads emulation will continue when the movies stop, so don't worry if you suddenly find yourself controlling the action. Just hit Alt+P to load the next movie. VirtuaNES is a pretty decent emulator, by the way, even though 0.37's sound isn't very accurate and Battletoads crashes on level 2 in the latest version. It's got a very nice fullscreen mode, too - 640x480 w/scanlines that actually takes up the whole screen, unlike most other emus.
Enjoy!
