Some questions and answers:
Q1: How do you record your DS so good?
A1: I used some pretty expensive equipment to film a DS but it pays off. I used a Camcorder, a tripod, an audio cable, a small table, some blu tac, an AV cable from the camcorder, a DVD recorder so Im basically recording it as if it was recorded on Console and of course a DSi.

DS Lites are ok (like my SM64 DS WR run) but DSi has the brightness settings as it can go up to 5 compared to the DS Lites 4.

For posting videos only onto Youtube, I burn it onto a DVD-RW then, I rip it off from Anri-chan, compress it, edit it (screen positions) and compress it again before uploading it.

Q2: Do you do walkthroughs?
A2: No why? Because real gamers dont use walkthroughs but more importantly theres GAMEFAQS and loads of walkthrough videos done by other people on Youtube like SuperSkarmory, Marriland Im not saying they fail for making walkthroughs as their details on the videos are pretty good, I just find it more impressive to speed run it as not many people have seen it done quick before.

Q3: What about Lets play.
A3: Some of my older videos has the Lets play feel but it lacked audio commentary. Im not a fan on Lets play at all. Its nothing special; its just a (nooby) gamer talking about the game and failing on completing a stage at the same time more, some people use emulators to record them. Real gamers would use a DVD recorder and not using a camera in front of the screen.

Q4: Do you Sub 4 Sub?
A4: F No. I only subscribe to peoples channels if their videos are impressive to watch. I usually subscribe to speed runners such as Tiki, Lord_VG. I used to subscribe to some notable Youtube poopers but Ive lost interest in making video remixing now.

Q5: Do you use emulators?
A5: I used to use emulators before having a DVD recorder. I used an emulator for either: Tools assisted speed runs or experimenting a speed route/tough, precise trick such as The Minish Caps Ocarina glitch speed run route on Dark Hyrule Castle. I do not use emulators to download games that I do not own unless I kept it for under 24 hours for documentation purposes (A Link to a Past changes from SNES to GBA).

Q6: When are you going to get a DS capture device?
A6: When Nintendo get their butts off their seats and start making some or if I met a person who had the skills to make a DS homebrew capture device.

Q7: Make a remake speed run on Zelda Phantom Hourglass!?
A7: I cant Speed Demos Archive does NOT accept runs that have the main game play screen covered by a giant stylus/hand. Super Mario 64 DS got published because the touch screen usage isnt the Main Game play Screen.

Q8: Do you accept video requests?
A8: Sometimes but not always. I do not make simple basic ones like an A Rank run on Sonic Adventure 2. I want something more challenging like a B Button Challenge on SM64 DS.

Q9: I want your friend code on (insert game name) what is it?
A9: I appreciate that you like me but I dont give out my friend codes. Im a busy boy and I do have a life. I only give out friend codes to proper friends and families, dont be offended because I rarely go online with my DS/Wii at the moment.

Q10: So when you do get a DS Capture device, you are going to make an 150 Star run on Super Mario 64 DS?
A 10: YES...... YES

My very first offical World Record run is now up (Super Mario 64 DS). There are some other projects going on but don't expect them to be up quick.

Speed Running Projects:
*GBA runs are now done by using the Gameboy Player.

GBA: Current
A Link To The Past Any% (2 / 20something)

GBA: Future
Minish Cap: Any% with Ocarina Glitch (4/36 or 37)


DS Future:

New Super Mario Bros 3 Star achievement run (100%)
Segments 36/45

Zelda : Spirit Tracks (only if the game is good first)
Any% run.


Note: Future projects may not happen.

Short Projects (usually Single Level or an Mini-game like Boss Rush)

*Halo Wars Demo: Mission 2 Easy
*Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance Boss Rush


As of 30th April the first ever DS TAS was revealed on the TASvideos website (and AVI videos onto Youtube too). It was of course New Super Mario Bros (NSMB) :D. The run in my opinion was sub-optiminal since it lacked the flagpole trick and there was a faster way on land travel with the Blue Shell Power up.

I'm making an test TAS 100% run of NSMB and helping out other members of the TASvideos forums such as sharing out my ideas of the route and tricks.

I'm also making some short projects TAS runs like Tetris DS for example.

Heavy touched screen based games like:
Zelda Phantom Hourglass.
Zelda Spirit Tracks,
Kirby: Canvas Curse (aka Power Paintbrush)
and
Yoshi:Touch and Go
Would be awesome games to TAS but are quite difficult to produce mainly because Touch Screen TASing is quite new and will need to work out how to optimise the input from taps to drawings lines and/or shapes.
