Theoritically fastest wave 1 done by manipulating X and Y position before & after 2nd bird to hit the ceiling faster (last flap/flying/A button delayed with 1 frame) and using the same last time flap/fly/A to instantly catch egg.
Fastest bird kill: when you see their green pixeled leg - the last frame before they start to fly.
Wave 2 in 784 frame.

NES Joust through the end of unique content. WIP. May spontaneously ignite. Handle with care. Notes forthcoming eventually. Too many short sentences. Enjoy.

#7734253530891403 - NES Joust through wave 5 (egg wave)
I've gotten far further on this run than on the Atari 7800 or Atari Lynx runs I started, in part due to long car rides where the only emulator I had available was FCEUX. I've confirmed that this WIP (which completes the 5th "egg" wave of NES Joust) syncs with FCEUX 2.2.1 as I've since downloaded that version and completed the last portion using that emulator. I'll stop after the last wave where new content is introduced, so there's a bit more to go before this can be submitted.
I'll try to get around to starting a forum thread for the game unless someone beats me to it. Enjoy,
I'm at it again... Here's a WIP completing the first wave of Joust. One minor downside - this is from the (aging) FCEUX 2.1.4a because that's all I had installed on the laptop we took on a long car ride. More to come, possibly in BizHawk...
