F-ZERO GX: MCTR (Flying) 12925 [TAS] Tony Thai 2010-11-06 | This is a really sloppy Tool-Assisted run I did yesterday. (Save-states and slowdown were used) Movie file recording isn't implemented yet so I couldn't fix the part right after my first lap landing. I did a 6 second opener right after I completed this run so I might improve it later. A sub 10 is very possible.Splits: 8"548 - 2"316 - 2"061 = 12"925If you're wondering why there's no cockpit or booster it's because I used a bad ROM.

F-Zero GX: MK64 Rainbow Road Ultra Shortcut (TAS) Tony Thai 2022-08-08 | Run starts at 0:40I just wanted to see how the ultra-shortcut from this game compares to Mario Kart 64's TAS. This is by no means an optimized TAS since it was done in GP mode instead of Time Attack. It's very difficult to adjust your angle in the air while Hyper-Speed Side-Attacking so you need to get right angle while you're still on the track. Its flight path kinda resembles that of a boomerang, but keeps gaining altitude.Custom track by adel02 using Stark Nebula's track editorCustom textures/models by me.Importing custom models requires a ton of steps and involves at least 5 different tools/programs.
F-Zero GX Custom Track: Shiftbooster Tony Thai 2022-07-30 | When you suck at shiftboosting so much that you make the track do it for you instead. I cut out a bunch of notches on the road at regular intervals which gives you a shiftboost when you run over them. It's too bad this game has a speed cap that causes your machine to lose all it's speed when you go above ~10300km/h otherwise I would've put automatic shiftboosters everywhere.played in slow motion with savestates
F-Zero GX Custom Track: My first custom track Tony Thai 2022-07-18 | I just learned how to use Raph's track editor today and made my first custom track for F-Zero GX. I wondered what would happen if I tilted the track on its side and made one of the guard rails really tall so you can actually drive on it.Looks like it causes you to bounce everywhere, but it also seems to give you a ton of speed on upslopes. This track is still very awkward to drive on since I haven't done a lot of in-game testing.I'm still figuring out how to use this thing and will continue to test more of my stupid ideas in the future.
F-ZERO X: Mute City 1 - 107988 [Non-AGG] [NTSC] by JKT (0% Max Acceleration settings) Tony Thai 2022-03-11 | Player: JKTCourse: Mute City 1 - Figure EightTime: 1'07"988 (splits: 27"420 - 20"134 - 20"434)Machine: Blood HawkSetting: 0% (max acceleration)Region: NTSCPlatform: Nintendo 64This is the infamous run my brother set back on June 2, 2005 with the help of a Lego turbo controller he built that mashes the boost button. It's also the first (and only NTSC) run to sub 1'08 that didn't use the crazy Air Ground Glitch discovered afterwards.Since F-Zero X is now released on the Switch, I might as well make some old unlisted videos public.
Tony Thai - Ghost Town Funk (from: Sample Pack Contest IX: Halloween Edition) Tony Thai 2019-11-11 | This is my entry for Sample Pack Contest IX: Halloween Edition. More info here: spc.beamsaber.com/9.htmlSample Pack Contest is a fun music-writing competition where participants make music using only the samples submitted to the contest. Check out the rest of the songs here: samplepackcontest.bandcamp.com/album/sample-pack-contest-ixI've known about the Sample Pack Contest series ever since it started back in 2005 on the VGMusic.com forums but never actually entered. I thought the silly jokey vocal samples were too hard to use at the time. After finally entering, I managed to place 1st out of 71 entries! ヽ('ヮ' )ノ This tune originally started as an unfinished 20-second tune I wrote back in May of 2018. It had a weird melody so I had to come up with a new one. For the rest of the song I wrote the chord progression first and then tried jamming out a melody on the keyboard. I had fun extracting usable sounds from the submitted samples and creating that soundscape at the beginning. I also discovered new ways to isolate specific sounds buried within other sounds using AI.If you want to hear how some of the sounds were created from the source samples go to: dropbox.com/sh/l22itokcrh5h44i/AAAqLJ0_TOG1ZzX8UY4fMQeoa/Tony%20Thai?dl=0&subfolder_nav_tracking=1This YouTube upload is a bit late for Halloween but the songs were originally released on October 30th.Hopefully I'll have time to enter SPC X.Twitter - twitter.com/uewipiwSoundcloud - soundcloud.com/midiman10
My First Song (1997) Tony Thai 2019-11-11 | I found the ancient PC my earliest compositions were stored on. This was before I used any kind of DAW or even knew anything about music. The songs were written in MML (Music Macro Language) using QBASIC back in 1997 or earlier. The file was revisited and modified several times so I don't have it's actual creation date but it's at least a year older. Skip to (0:55) to listen.If some of these tunes sound like completely random notes to you, that's because they are. I had zero understanding of what notes were at the time.For one of STAFFcirc's albums, I was asked to remake my first song or something, but the notes were too random so I gave up and asked for a new prompt. But before I did, I wrote about 30 seconds of music which you can hear at the end (2:06).My earliest MIDI compositions from 1998-2000 were lost in a hard drive crash. :( These were the songs I was hoping to find because they showed my earliest attempts at making music with actual harmony and rhythm...which I didn't really understand at the time so I ended up doing what I was better at which was recreating video game songs by ear.The original song by itself: youtube.com/watch?v=6Toxj8SBOq0The harmonized version by itself: youtube.com/watch?v=BTlg4neE13kps: I sped up the boot up
F-ZERO GX: Using HSSA on Fire Field Undulation with Fat Shark - 22082 (Maxspeed) [TAS] Tony Thai 2019-02-12 | This is a tool-assisted speedrun.It uses HSSA (hyperspeed side attacks) to fly directly to the checkpoints and count a lap. I did it in a few hours so the landings could be better. Because I don't have too much control over the direction during flight I had to make sure to aim the machine in the right direction when leaving the course.Played in slowmotion with savestates on Dolphin 5.0
F-ZERO GX: Using HSSA on Mute City Sonic Oval with ＨＡＲＤ ＢＡＮＧＥＲ - 38950 (Maxspeed) [TAS] Tony Thai 2019-02-12 | This is a tool-assisted speedrun. The ＨＡＲＤ ＢＡＮＧＥＲ shouldn't be able get such a time, but with the help of HSSA (hyperspeed side attacks) AND a little shortcut AND a huge suicide that skips half the track, it too can rank among the Top 10 fastest times. The fastest legit time for this machine is 45"690 by FSF.Played in slowmotion with savestates on Dolphin 5.0
F-ZERO GX: Casino Palace Split Oval Flying Route [TAS] Tony Thai 2019-02-12 | Here's a spaceflying route for CPSO that's actually faster than snaking.

I'm not trying to make a perfect TAS run, I'm just trying to demonstrate the route because someone was wondering what flying this track would be likeOriginally uploaded as unlisted on 11-27-2017Played in slowmotion with savestates on Dolphin 5.0
F-ZERO GX: Mute City Sonic Oval Flying Route [TAS] Tony Thai 2019-02-12 | Here's a spaceflying route for MCSO that's actually faster than snaking. The exits in this run are really sloppy and is also what prevented the sub 20. Ideally, I wanted to land on the rails and exit the track like my old MCTR spaceflying TAS (seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=oGBgjO8VSL4#t=12s) but it was taking forever to get the right position so I just settled with the easier but crappier exits.Originally uploaded as unlisted on 11-27-2017Played in slowmotion with savestates on Dolphin 5.0

midi602.mid Tony Thai 2017-02-10 | This video was originally posted back in 2015. I tried to write a tune with my MIDI keyboard for once instead of clicking all the notes out with my mouse like I usually do. I wrote the chorus part first and then wrote the rest of the song around it, but now I kinda feel the chorus section isn't as strong as the rest. It's still unfinished and I didn't have time to replace the instruments with VST synths or polish it more so I'll just post it as is.MP3 render: dropbox.com/s/yk1jzs93lzae21p/midi602.mp3?dl=0MIDI: dropbox.com/s/jn5pyty4ehkbnt0/midi602.mid?dl=0
[song] csvillage Tony Thai 2016-12-26 | I wrote this short little tune as a midi file back in 2012. It was around the time I heard aivi & surasshu's Mabe Village arrangement. I was going through my old wips and I thought this one sounded pretty wintery so I finished it up. I also added some sleigh bells to make it more Christmassy.SOUNDCLOUD: soundcloud.com/midiman10/csvillage

POD - BELTANE Shortcut - Fast Lap (10131) (Planet of Death) Tony Thai 2013-08-07 | Beats the fastest ghost lap by 8.43 seconds!Track: BeltaneCar: DeuchSettings: 100-0-30-70-100Lap time: 1'01"31This is an old racing game I played way back in the late 90's when I was like 10. And this is a shortcut I discovered back then which exploited this car's ability to turn while airborne. If you tilt this car on its side and then steer upwards, it will start to fly, which you can see after the fast lap. Flight maneuverability is limited so you have to aim your car in the right direction before taking off. I'm racing against the fastest ghost (played by VIENNA) so you can see how much faster the shortcut is. The ghost has an opening lap of 1'09"74 and a fast lap of 1'09"65.I did a really sloppy run with this shortcut back in the day using a keyboard and submitted it to QBall's leaderboards. It topped the rankings for a very brief period, then Leadbest, iirc, beat it with my strat. Eventually all of the times for this track using this car were removed from the leaderboards.This run could probably be a bit faster because I forgot to downshift to first gear in preparation for the second landing in order to make a quicker U-turn. Also I didn't back up all the way to get more speed before starting the lap.I unintentionally had both the "Record Win7 sound" and "Record external input" boxes checked in FRAPS which caused the weird phasing effect you hear in the video.

F-Zero: Mute City 1 in 2478 TAS Tony Thai 2009-09-07 | This run is more optimized than the White Land run I did yesterday, but I still think there's room for improvement. Like saving every bit of health by avoiding the walls so I don't have to recharge my energy on the last lap. I hit the wall 5 times trying to make a U-turn in this run. It did get me quicker lap times, but a much slower last lap.Credit goes to WaddleDX for discovering the Rapidfire Pause Glitch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19d4FobHHJM
F-Zero: White Land in 4446 TAS Tony Thai 2009-09-06 | This trick should work on every course, except maybe the GP-exclusive tracks because of the ranking system. It was based on the pause glitch seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19d4FobHHJM except that I tried to use it in an actual run. This speedrun is far from optimal since I didn't spend a lot of time with it--less than 2 hours. It was done in only 3366 re-records. The majority of the re-records were spent on trying to get the machine to actually go through the wall. It really depends which part of the wall I hit since it won't seem to let me go through when I hit the region of the wall closer to the finish line. I should also find a better way to make a U-turn so that I don't slam into the walls and unnecessarily drain my energy.

Fuzee Tutorial: Making alternate versions for your course Tony Thai 2009-01-19 | This tutorial is now obsolete since YouTube removed annotations.Download my fzeeclip collectiondropbox.com/s/oiyx1ct0etmuoyv/fzeeclips.rar?dl=0The video explains how to make alternate versions to your course. It assumes you have already made a working track with alternate sections to your track laid out.In your globalsettings.txt you will see a row of 15 GP courses separated into 3 leagues. The first two columns should be left as is. The next two columns are what you are going to be editing. This is where you get to customize the order of your tracks in GP mode.In column 3, you get to use values 0 through 8 to change the region. (0: Big Blue, 1: Silence, 2: Sand Ocean, 3: Port Town, 4: Death Wind, 5: Red Canyon, 6: Fire Field, 7: Mute City, 8: White Land)In column 4, refer to the chart below.------------------------Regions: 3,4,5You can have alternate versions for your course.#-0 = "II"#-1 = "I"------------------------Regions: 0,1,2,6The track number won't change but you can have alternate versions.------------------------Region: 8 (White Land)Same as worlds 3,4,5 but the music will change on White Land II------------------------Region: 7 (Mute City)You can have three alternate versions.#-0 = "III"#-1 = "I"#-2 = "II"------------------------So Port Town 1 would be 3-1, and Port Town II would be 3-0. If you don't plan on making an alternate version for your course leave the value in the last column at 0.If you look a little lower in globalsettings.txt, you get to customize the order for Practice mode. This one only has 3 columns but it's different from GP settings. Leave column one as is. In column 2, you get to use values 1 through 3, to choose the GP league. In column 3, you get to use values 1 through 5 to choose a track from the league chosen in column 2.
F-Zero: Red Canyon (custom track) Tony Thai 2009-01-09 | This is a remake of Red Canyon from F-Zero X.

F-Zero SNES: Crazy Custom Track Tony Thai 2009-01-07 | This is an extremely difficult and narrow course I made using the F-Zero level editor, FUZEE v0.04.Originally I wanted to make this track very dense like a maze and cover up most of the world map, but I quickly started running out of memory so I threw in some longer and faster sections. I didn't plan out the track design beforehand, but I did try to incorporate sections that would exploit the game's quirks. Most of the time spent was just me struggling with the level editor trying to make a smooth curve. I also maxed out the amount of unique panels and tiles per panel Fuzee could handle. Adding anymore would corrupt the track, so I had to remove just enough parts of the track to get it to export properly.Here's an aerial view of this course:http://i.imgur.com/M3lVRg8.png (6912x3840)Play it here: dropbox.com/s/bst0m4k5k179u15/crazycustomtrack.smc?dl=0

[song] Yankee Doodle (Jazz arr.) Tony Thai 2008-08-15 | Here's a midi I wrote some time last year played back with better samples. I didn't enroll, but was allowed to sit in a jazz arrangement class at uni and one of their assignments was to write a jazz arrangement of Yankee Doodle with a syncopated melody. It seemed like a fun exercise so this is what I came up with. I think you need 3 hands to play the piano part.
