Yoshis Story - All Melons speedrun in 1:41:56 (WR) Dan Salvato 2023-03-25 | twitch.tv/dansalvatospeedrun.com/yoshis_storyYoshi's Story tech overview: youtube.com/watch?v=otY8PnlyuW0 GENERAL FAQ Q: Why all melons?All melons is the 100% completion category for Yoshi's Story. There are 30 melons hidden in each stage, and the game challenges you to find them all.Q: What console/controller are you using?I play on Wii Virtual Console, which is faster for this game than N64 and also allows me to use a Gamecube controller. Q: Why do you reset after every level?It skips the level end cutscene, saving ~20 seconds each time. Q: How does level progression work in this game? You only play one level per world?Yep. The more Power Hearts you get in a level (the giant red hearts), the more levels you have access to in the next world. After six levels, you beat the game. To complete all 24 levels, I need to beat the game 4 times, picking different levels each time. Q: Why green Yoshi?It takes the shortest amount of time for green Yoshi to run off the screen and start the level. TECHNIQUES Tongue Jumping - Every time you press B while jumping, Yoshi doesn't have gravity for one frame. This means you can mash B while jumping to increase the height of your jump. Mashing B while holding A is really tough, but tongue jumping is used constantly through the entire run. Dustless Ground Pound - You can ground pound instantaneously by charging an egg right before landing, then canceling the charge into a ground pound. Precise timing is needed. While a dustless doesn't have any power, it can be used to uncover hidden fruits from the ground, making it invaluable. Swallow Cancel - Yoshi's swallow animation can be cancelled by tapping the B button to lick again. Movement is limited while swallowing, so it's preferable to do this. B has to be tapped as lightly as possible to make sure Yoshi's tongue only stays out for a couple frames, because he can't move while his tongue is out.

MAGICORE ANOMALA - Fangame Marathon 2022 Demo Dan Salvato 2023-01-08 | 00:00 Intro02:40 Gameplay*FAQ**Will this also be playable on modern systems?*Absolutely. It will be available on Steam, made playable by wrapping the game in an Amiga emulator.*When will the game release?*There is no release date yet, because this is a side project that takes lower priority over other Team Salvato projects. However, I hope to provide regular development updates.*Is the final game going to be that hard?*Many of the attacks in this demo are not particularly fair because I designed them for the purpose of developing game engine features, rather than to be fantastic gameplay. I plan on designing the final game to have a fair and balanced difficulty curve, as well as some handicap options. It will still be very hard, but it will offer you the opportunity to improve your skills and overcome challenges you thought were impossible.*Are you working on other games too?*Yes, this is my smallest of three upcoming projects. One is a visual novel, and another is a secret. Since this is a side project fueled by a niche passion of mine, I felt comfortable revealing it earlier than my other projects.*Can I play this demo?*Sadly, this demo hasn't been released to the public (it was designed as a showcase only), but I hope to release a public demo sometime in 2023.*Why Amiga? Why this game at all?*I love retro gaming platforms and have a special love for Amiga. I grew up with the computer and, over time, became increasingly fascinated with its incredible hardware. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to make an Amiga game. I came up with this game idea specifically as something I thought would be great on Amiga.*Who did the graphics/audio/coding/etc.?*Consider all graphics and audio to be placeholders that are subject to change. I did the coding, music, SFX, and sprite artwork. The dialogue portraits were done by Chibikki (twitter.com/chibikki_ikki) with some modifications by me. The background is a free-to-use asset I found online.*What language is this game written in?*The game is written in m68k Assembly. Amiga handles C quite nicely, but I opted for Assembly in order to achieve maximum performance by working directly with the bare metal.*What are the specs of the system?*I'm targeting a stock A500 with the trapdoor memory expansion. It has a 7MHz Motorola 68000 CPU and 1MB of RAM (512k for graphics and audio, 512k general purpose). Most notably, Amiga has some special hardware chips, like a coprocessor (copper) and a GPU-like chip (blitter) which can perform tasks in parallel to the CPU, making this game possible.*What is Fangame Marathon?*It is an annual livestream event dedicated to fangames and mods of all kinds, but with additional focus on the I Wanna Be The Guy fangame community. This game's mechanics are inspired by the IWBTG fangames (especially avoidance games), and I wanted to show my appreciation by premiering this game during their event.

Yoshis Story any% speedrun in 10:59.300 (WR) Dan Salvato 2020-07-18 | twitch.tv/dansalvatospeedrun.com/yoshis_storySub-11! The only major mistake was missing an egg shot on Bowser. My control stick notches are just so worn out that the angle doesn't seem to be consistent anymore. Maybe I'll just have to come back and improve it.GENERAL FAQ Q: Are you using a Gamecube controller for an N64 game?Yes, I play on Wii Virtual Console, which is about 2 seconds faster than N64 and also allows me to use a Gamecube controller. Q: Why do you reset after every level?It skips the level end cutscene, saving ~20 seconds each time. Q: How does level progression work in this game? You only play one level per world?Yep. The more Power Hearts you get in a level (the giant red hearts), the more levels you have access to in the next world. After six levels, you beat the game. That's why the run is so short. Q: Why does it sometimes rain fruit when you ground pound?This is a property of the Super Happy Fruit (SHF). After eating one, your ground pounds turn Shy Guys into fruit. Q: Why green Yoshi?It takes the shortest amount of time for green Yoshi to run off the screen and start the level. TECHNIQUES Tongue Jumping - Every time you press B while jumping, Yoshi doesn't have gravity for one frame. This means you can mash B while jumping to increase the height of your jump. Mashing B while holding A is really tough, but tongue jumping is used constantly through the entire run. Dustless Ground Pound - You can ground pound instantaneously by charging an egg right before landing, then canceling the charge into a ground pound. Precise timing is needed. While a dustless doesn't have any power, it can be used to uncover hidden fruits from the ground, making it invaluable. Swallow Cancel - Yoshi's swallow animation can be cancelled by tapping the B button to lick again. Movement is limited while swallowing, so it's preferable to do this. B has to be tapped as lightly as possible to make sure Yoshi's tongue only stays out for a couple frames, because he can't move while his tongue is out. 1-2 A very technical level with many strange movement patterns, causing a lot of resets. After some fast wiggler kills and tricky egg shots, I eat a Super Happy Fruit (SHF) to turn Shy Guys into fruit by ground pounding, then try to finish up the level without losing momentum. 2-2 One of the more technical levels to complete without slowing down, but also quite consistent. You'll see a lot of precise jumps, licking, and egg throws to grab exactly what I need while maintaining full speed. 3-1 This level involves getting to the second room as quickly as possible, then using the SHF to turn all the Shy Guys into fruit. There is randomness involved with them, so there's a chance of getting unlucky and losing time, or not getting enough fruit. The snake platforms have janky collision detection, so my jump patterns are planned out to reduce the chance of me slipping off. The whole first room is vertical so there is a ton of button mashing. 4-1 This non-linear level uses a very innovative strategy to get 30 fruits while only having to transition screens twice. After entering the hut, I have to kill and eat the Shy Guys in a very specific order so that by the time I leave, I've eaten 5 watermelons in a row. Doing this efficiently is extremely precise and depends on the Shy Guys to be on an exact cycle, or the fruits they drop will despawn. A tiny movement error would ruin everything. Once outside the hut, I eat a sixth watermelon to spawn a SHF, which I can use to turn the rest of the Shy Guys into fruit. (Eating six of the same fruit in a row spawns a SHF.) I also need to collect two Power Hearts to unlock 5-3. 5-3 Another dense, tech skill-heavy level with few special tricks. Egg management is important, so I take care to eat my way to six eggs so I don't have to stop at an egg block. You can get 30 fruits very quickly in this level, but you have to collect two Power Hearts to unlock 6-3, so the strategy is to eat only the fruits that don't require you to slow down, and get your 30th fruit immediately after collecting the second Power Heart. 6-3 This level is a race to the tiny ghost room, where you can get a SHF and turn them all into fruit. I need an egg for a dustless ground pound, so I have a maneuver to grab one at the beginning without slowing down much. Like 3-1, there is randomness with the tiny ghosts, so time can be lost. I enter the Bowser fight with 3 eggs, stun locking him while I make my way to the SHF, which gives me infinite eggs and lets me finish him off.

Tetrisphere - Phony (SNES port for Super Mario World) Dan Salvato 2019-05-09 | "Phony" from the Tetrisphere OST by Neil Voss, ported to SNES for use in Super Mario World romhacks.Download link: smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=19895The original track on N64 is 16 channels and in a format that isn't possible to convert to MIDI, so this track was required to be reassembled by hand rather than have the notes and rhythm ported over. Many samples were also cut down and optimized using things like clever looping points and the SNES sound chip's ADSR capabilities to simulate the full-length sample while saving RAM. Also notice that I tried to use channels 7 and 8 as little as possible, because Super Mario World SFX use those channels and I don't want them to cut any important samples out of the music.The total track, including samples and script, is ~44kb in size. It was ported using a scripting language called MML and an audio engine called AddMusicK, which allows custom music to be arranged and inserted into Super Mario World.

Esau - Fax on the Run (captured from Amiga 1000) Dan Salvato 2018-10-03 | "Fax on the Run" by Esau. Captured directly from a 1985 NTSC A1000 into an EQ and stereo shaper. Running AmigaOS 3.1.4 with 512KB chip RAM, 8MB fast RAM, and an expansion card with a Motorola MC68EC000 (68000 equivalent) clocked at 21MHz.Download this song: http://www.modules.pl/?id=module&mod=7920The Amiga was infamous for many things including its audio capabilities, outputting 4 simultaneous waveform channels while every other home computer at the time was capable of no more than simple beeps and pulse waves. The prevailing Amiga music format is Protracker MOD, which lets the artist import up to 32 wave samples and arrange them into patterns. The legacy of Amiga audio is evident as there are still many artists creating MOD songs today.

How popular cryptocurrency wallets completely expose your private keys Dan Salvato 2018-03-24 | twitter.com/dansalvatoIn this video I demonstrate how unsafe it is to run cryptocurrency wallets on vulnerable PCs. Simply by having the wallet running, your private key is exposed in plaintext and can be stolen by malware in a matter of seconds.Although it is the responsibility of the user to keep their private keys secure, I think it is very unfortunate that developers don't take even basic security measures to prevent this from happening so easily.
Universal Controller Fix Dan Salvato 2017-08-08 | http://20xx.me/ucfUniversal Controller Fix (UCF) is a standardized Melee codeset designed to eliminate the disparity between Gamecube controllers, giving any controller the features of what players look for in an "ideal" controller.

Madoka Magica x Regina Spektor - Small Soul$ Dan Salvato 2017-04-25 | This is a mash-up between Madoka Magica's "Pugna cum maga" and Regina Spektor's "Small Bill$". I was surprised to find that both tracks were not only almost the exact same tempo, but more or less in the same key as well.It was a bit difficult to make because there is no instrumental of Small Bill$, and because the Madoka track features a powerful symphony. I did my best to isolate vocals and balance the two tracks around each other appropriately.Download: http://cdn.frankerfacez.com/dansalvato/smallsouls.mp3

20XX Tournament Edition - v.2b Trailer Dan Salvato 2016-09-29 | http://twitter.com/dansalvatohttp://20xx.meFull change list:Fixed a rare bug where the incorrect team color would be applied to one of the players, causing doubles matches to end early.Fixed a minor bug regarding character portrait colors when Extra Shield Colors is enabled.The replay system has been updated so that replays now take up about half the space that they used to. This means fewer blocks are used on the memory card, save/load times are improved, and longer matches can be saved. NOTE: Replays saved prior to this version will not play back correctly on v.2b or newer.Starting a 1-minute time match is now "hand-warmer" mode, where fighters do not interact with each other, and the match automatically returns to character select while setting the game mode back to 4-stock. This was requested by the Japanese Melee community, who frequently use 1-minute time matches as hand warmers.When Tournament Mode is enabled, tournament settings are now reset whenever the Character Select screen is loaded (including in between games). This helps in case players strike using the Random Stage menu and forget to turn the stages back on.The 20XXTE version is now displayed on the Character Select screen in the upper-left corner. This can be used by TOs to quickly verify the latest version of TE is used on all setups. Note that this version (v.2b) is the first to do this. If the usual "VS" is displayed, that means the setup is either unmodded or running an old version of 20XXTE.Frozen Mode will now have three options: Off/Toggle/On. "Toggle" will work the same as Frozen Mode currently does, where you press Y to enable/disable it on the stage select screen. However, if you set it to "On", Frozen Mode will always be on.You can now enable a color overlay for "Wait" animations, which is a highly-requested training feature that shows you the frame holes in your pressure.On the Character Select screen, controller ports can be closed even if the respective hand is hovering over the characters.CPU Zelda will now always start as Sheik and never transform.When Infinite Shields is enabled, CPUs will always hold shield.

P is for Pain - P-Tower Skip Dan Salvato 2015-12-30 | Demonstrating a new speedrun strategy I discovered the other day. However, I didn't employ the skip in the last section which saves spring cycles, so I don't believe I got the record (regardless of whether the game timed it).

Link does cool stuff against spacies Dan Salvato 2015-10-22 | http://twitch.tv/dansalvatoA collection of clips from a few netplay matches that I put together for someone. The opponents miss so many techs because Link is able to trick the opponent into trying to tech too early, which forces them to miss the tech window.
Yoshis Story All Melons - AGDQ 2016 Hype Video Dan Salvato 2015-10-11 | http://twitter.com/dansalvato1http://twitch.tv/dansalvatoMusic: Caravan Palace - ClashThis Nintendo platformer has been my exclusive speedgame for 2.5 years. "All Melons" (this game's 100%) is a brutal run that forces the player to explore every corner, utilize physics exploits, and - in true Yoshi fashion - demonstrate absolute technical mastery with very small room for error. Even the Yoshi's Island community loves this run, which has not yet been featured at any GDQ main event.

Mario Maker: Vivians Final Dreams - Secret Ending Dan Salvato 2015-09-28 | 7299-0000-0072-77F6Full level playthrough: youtube.com/watch?v=CLrSsQG4ZQAThis is how I included a "secret ending" in my Mario Maker level. By jumping over the flagpole, the player can get an extra costume and touch the flag so that they enter the house rather than falling to their death, implying that the protagonist has decided not to commit suicide.http://twitch.tv/dansalvato

Mario Maker: Spring Trials (Playthrough) Dan Salvato 2015-09-21 | 897F-0000-005B-13B7I wanted to design a level that takes an interesting mechanic and provides a set of "trials" exploring its different possibilities. I was intrigued by the momentum properties of bouncing off a sideways spring, so this is the end result.
