#2Super cool.
Is it mentioned anywhere how big the payload is? How many button presses? Are the audio samples "streamed" or does it all fit in NES RAM?

There’s a full write up. Audio is streamed as button presses.

The entire TAS file takes about 16 MB, far more than the 4 KB of RAM on the NES. During the audio + video playback, the TAS is streaming via the controller by making inputs roughly 500 times per frame (15 kHz).

Indeed, if you want to see what is possible with only a Famicom (or NES) itself you can have a look at Little Limit's incredible Bad Apple "port" [1]. This recording is from an emulator [2], but I know from personal experience that it plays perfectly fine on my "New Famicom" (HVC-101). This is not to detract from how amazing the posted ACE is, but it is indeed different in terms of data limitations.

Interesting. The visuals, presumably somewhat hand crafted, look infinitely better in this rendition. The sound is much less compelling, however.

#7can this be done on real hardware with a modified controller?

They use a modified ROM to set the memory state, but that could be done with SMB3 manually, apparently.

Hey, I'm the TASer who put this run together.
This was 5.8 million inputs.
I share the full assembly code in the tasvideos writeup: https://tasvideos.org/8991S#HereSTheAsmCode
To summarize what I put in the writeup, the 7-bit PCM audio was streamed in at approximately 25 Khz, (reading from the controller and writing to address $4011 every 71 CPU cycles.) while occasionally dipping to 9 Khz while streaming in the graphics data.

I like this version. https://youtu.be/WPUYjDNks9Y
It's impressive what can be done if a lot of effort is put in.
