encode
I made this TAS to see if I could get the 5.57, and yes, I just got it! I am completely blind, so I had to take a screenshot and open it in Chrome to check the final times for each attempt.
small improvements in a lot of places, and a bigger improvement on Macho. May submit soon, once I have an encode ready. Patched from the PRG1 Rom of MTPO (USA).
#638088350325410978 - Final Fantasy Origins TAS (up to the crown)
Well, not very long, but I wanted to show a possible improvement to Kurikinton's TAS, and the only way I can really do that is through the boss rush. To get to the boss rush without having beaten the game, just press B at the start. By typing end when you find The Guy, you can actually skip the fight entirely, saving a few minutes over the current TAS.
This script will tell you the current frame, followed by your TIDs, and output them to a txt file. I set it to test.txt because I wasn't sure if it would work sometimes. I also made a script for Yellow version.
I have no idea what just happened, but I got to the character select screen faster than if I got a game-over. I'm wondering if this could be used for a faster game end glitch? Anyway, here's a video of what happened: https://youtu.be/DzSZsQMqQng
Please note: the blank count is probably slightly inaccurate. The movie didn't originally have a blank count, so I recorded a wav file and estimated when the movie ended.
#637893865047581673 - FF1 Origins up to first 15 puzzle
This is a TAS of Final Fantasy Origins for the PS1. I travel to a square away from Elfheim so you can hear the most ship music. For this route, I will need to do 15 puzzle twice.
Improves this glitchless TAS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5197KA9EqU). I don't know exactly how much, but it's about a second. I don't know how I'd do the glitch in the actual submission (I'm blind), so I just made this.
#637834326088739094 - Phred's Cool Punch-Out 2 Turbo final TAS
This is just a test run. I will come back to this at some point and make a submittable version. Contender Bald Bull was the worst part, as one of my stars was delayed by way more than 22 frames. I can't tell how many frames pass on Dolphin. When I press frame advance once, it sounds exactly the same when I throw my star, and 22 times sounds like less than in a video on YouTUbe of Bald Bull's regular TAS strat. I had to compress the dtm because it was too big to upload here uncompressed (7 MB).
Edit: This run has a fatal desync at the end of TD Kaiser. I'll come back to this at some point, but for now, enjoy the TAS up to TD Glass Joe.
