NESBot

[Тэкст даступны толькі на англійскай мове] This is a project about mixing together Tool Assisted Speedrun or TAS (www.tasvideos.org) and my Megadrive circuit bended.

I'm working in the special field of presenting TAS in France using a webcast called 88 miles per hour. Check it here with english subtitle:

I'm deeply involved into to promotion and the recognition of the TAS . It's one of the most interesting creation made by the "gamers". If you want to learn more about this discipline, I deeply recommend to watch the lecture I gave about it, available here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG_9r038Qoc

As you see these TAS are made with emulators, that why it's called "tool assisted" but recently someone made a great "robot" called the NesBot. It's allowing you to "play" the TAS on real machine. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JNf0lAo3Ns)

Since I've discover his work, I've been interested in the idea of making the same but the Sega Megadrive/Genesis. First it will be nice to "prove" some TAS, but alos because coupled with my circuit bended Megadrive it could do something really amazing.

The idea is using the MegaBot to play the TAs on my Megaglitch. We would be able to see someone playing perfectly a game and at the same time having glitch in the background. like an ultimate fight between chaos and order.

I don't have anything to show right now, we're still working on the Megabot. But it will be ready for the LPM.

I know it's a really geeky thing, and you might have to work a bit on the subject to understand why it's so cool :-) But I can tell you it will look really cool when it will be finish.
