I'd suggest adding one to your current offset and see what results you get, because right now you're literally one frame later than a normal score (as I've presented from the data of your 290 good run).

See my last post's edit.

Maybe I have the same problem, since my keyboard suddenly stopped derping, but I did get 185 clean >_>

Follow my instructions - follow the music instead; use Dark on and see what happens.

How hard would it be to add a mode to the engine that calculates the scores with +1 to the offset?

Pretty hard

But yeah, if you're playing with judgements off, why can't you just play with judgements on to see if you're dumping hundreds of goods?

Nope I really can't play, I'm used to watch close to the receptors when I play, and going with the beat only is impossible for me. Oh and I'm playing with judgements on, and the late perf shows a good.

qqwref 8:09 pm
(8:09:06 PM): and I hit on the same place on the receptors that I hit on other songs
(8:09:09 PM): in the real FFR engine
(8:09:18 PM): the ONLY ONLY ONLY thing I can think of is that every single person complaining is using beatmania
(8:09:31 PM): because I fixed it to make the notes on center just like every other noteskin
(8:09:41 PM): but maybe that changed the frame you have to hit at?
(8:09:43 PM): maybe?
(8:09:53 PM): not the actual frame but the visual placement of mid perf
qqwref 8:12 pm
(8:12:33 PM): it might have changed what place on the screen you need to hit

[fuzzykoala]

Not too happy with this but I can barely get through 300 notes of any song without messing up right now.

Well I have some SS's if it helps: (I didn't hit anything on the pictures. First is your engine, second is FFR's, and last one is both, to see if the receptors were the same and at the same position.)

Thanks :3 Too bad it's not in the game...it would have made a very nice 10th VC AAA :< I'm just curious as to why so many people are having trouble with the file (both d2b and d2a included) The only problem I had was with the intro and the onehanded trill in the 2nd half of the song, I wonder what parts other people are having trouble with.

Personally I thought the song was crazy impossible and I don't get how people are not having problems with it. It requires so much focus to be able to pay attention to fairly random polyrhythms and really awkward and weird patterns, and then to do it for an extreme length of time as well. Not only that, there's absolutely no breaks in the song at all except for a very short one near the beginning, which still leaves 3/4ths of the song to not be able to mentally recover in.

Honestly you should be more proud of that AAA then you are reuben I think :P

[DossarLX ODI]

Diamondus doesn't have patterns all that friendly and is super hard to be consistent on considering its length and that it's 24th gallops, not straight 16th stream.

lol I know I was excited as ****. This was considered a high 9 at first?

[DossarLX ODI]

I thought it was a high 9 at first but then after playing it a few times again it's definitely like low-mid 10 haha. It's a lot harder than I previously thought since there are basically no breaks like FrozenAngel said.

Another note, Round 2 starts in an hour

Do you think you'll maybe find a solution with qqwref or should I just drop out ? =x Lol I have like no idea what's causing this but what he said might be true. Anyway, please try to fix that whenever you guys have some free time okii~ :3

Since I was bumped a bit late, is it possible I have an extra day to submit? Same time tomorrow? I'd be looking to try for a good score tonight when warmed up or tomorrow evening

You're getting an extension. Right now qqwref is very busy.

Zakvvv666 and Opkiller have been given an extension for the time being.

Scores and spreadsheets have been updated to this point.

[DossarLX ODI]

First, I'd like to start with

qqwref 10:57 pm
(10:57:33 PM): okay, I updated the engines
(10:57:44 PM): beatmania should hopefully work as expected although I don't use it so I can't guarantee anything

qqwref will need input on Beatmania since he just made an update.

Round 2 is up.

Mario

From Mario Wiki:

The Mario series is a long-running video game series published by the popular gaming company, Nintendo. The Mario series has been running for more than a quarter of a century, and in its lifespan has released more than two hundred video games. The series also holds the title of best-selling video game franchise in history, with over 262 million combined units sold.

The series started out in 1981, with the arcade video game, Donkey Kong, and has since then took off into its own huge franchise. Originally created by Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario, going under the name Jumpman when Donkey Kong was first released, is the main protagonist throughout most of the series; the main antagonist of the series is Bowser, the King of all Koopas. The Mario series has contained many different genres of games, from platformers to role-playing games, and from puzzle games to party games. The most popular games in the series are a part of what is known as the main series, or the Super Mario series, which consists of 2D and 3D platformers; at least one is released per home console and one per handheld (bar the Game Boy Advance). Even though several games are released, not all of them are available in all countries or on all platforms. Some are only available on certain platforms in certain countries as well.

I don't think there's any of you that don't know about the Mario series. I never really cared about it that much and didn't play it in my childhood, but it certainly is big for any Nintendo fan out there.

Mario Wiki has more information about the series, what games have been sold/made, etc.

Song information:
- D1's hardcore remix song probably has a name, but as of now I still don't know of any song title.
- D2's song is from Super Mario Galaxy.
- Monstrous Turtles is on 1.2 rate, restepped by me and qqwref. Monstrous Turtles is a remix of the Sub Castle background music from Super Mario World.
