EnglandIf a 5:11 is nearly flawless in PAL, how is there a PAL TAS that would be 4:51 RTA? I wouldn’t have thought that the TAS-only timesaves (like full flagpole glitch) would be nearly enough to save 20 seconds.
Ok thanks for the help, I'd been using PAL because it was easier for me to get at the time, got the NTSC now.
Hello, I've been having problems with the automatic timer plugins available here (in the resources section). I've tried the programs by Hubcapp and i_o_l and the timer on both of these runs slower than real time.
If I complete 1-1 perfectly (minus the flagpole glitch) I see the black screen in 25.9 seconds, whereas I believe the actual time should be 29.7 (which means the timer is running at about 87.2% of real time).
I could provide a video but there's not much more to it than that. I've made sure that the timer's starting right when I get control of Mario, and it runs at a constant rate throughout. Anyone know what the problem is?
I'm using Windows 10, FCEUX 2.2.3 and the NES PAL ROM .
Thanks for the help guys, I've been able to get it to work by doing it that way :)
Hi, I've been trying to put a run together for this game and I'm having trouble with avoiding this checkpoint to skip the intermission more quickly. I'm talking about this one here: 
I've not been able to pass this without triggering it at all. Is there a trick to this, or is it just practice and really accurate timing? Thanks
Although the mods'll have to give a definite answer this is surely disallowed, it gives you a big advantage and changing the possible inputs in any way normally isn't allowed in a speedrun (you can remap the buttons but you can't, for example, use a command that presses buttons in a certain order for you).
Hotkey splitting's always a good choice, I have it set to start the timer when I press enter. I can't remember exactly how to set it up right now but I imagine google will tell you if you're using a popular program like LiveSplit or WSplit).
Good luck and good choice of game
