Most people who run / tas this game know of the flagpole glitch. For a long time and even today this glitch is still not RTA viable (technically).

In late 2015, DoorTK became the first person to come up with a setup, and perform the glitch in real time on emulator. (You can see the highlight here:

After that people stopped testing for the most part. (darbian had done a stream where he tested doortk's method, which was unsuccessful)

I decided to pick up flagpole glitch in February, and came up with a set up that worked consistently. (For the movie file: https://mega.nz/#!GVAnGCzb!5iCjGHOJoZCDF0MH7JrPf3w9D2TWCUb_N1gC4A55uWg)

Then I got that setup on emulator from the sky.

After taking a break for a month I got back to it and got it on Console in real time.

Even though I was attempting to use the same setup. I managed to do the jump inside the block different than what I did in the setup. (Movie file for that: https://mega.nz/#!DQAxgB6Z!exaIrB_KXYXlcrc6_c3Y1Yjw9ZeHLCVLGYx_JgmVbEI)

Easiest inputs for the clip itself I could find.

Update! Savestates have now been successfully created for both powerpak and everdrive!

Edit: DARBIAN HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED FLAGPOLE GLITCH AND GOTTEN THE FRAMERULE

UPDATE: Sockfolder has successfully found a set up for flagpole glitch that is much easier, if anyone wants to try flagpole glitch, watch this tutorial.

With sockfolder's help, flagpole glitch has been made a LOT more RTA-viable. It's really exciting to see as well, this thread now than ever needs more attention.

I've been looking around trying to find out about achieving the FPG but not getting the frame rule, I know darbian has talked about it during his attempts but I was hoping for some exact numbers. These were my first two successful completions during runs and both times I missed the frame rule.

Am I correct in assuming that I just have to do either the underground or the actual FPG execution faster to get the frame rule?

Normal video 1 day before that happened, I streamed and got the flagpole glitch, but stream was dissapear from twitch. Now I have twitch highlight and Bizhawk input movie file. Even with some problems with creating highlight, because slow computer. Emulator + claviature. Also my Any% PB is only 5:08, when I did it. And when I got firsy bullet bill glitch, my any% PB was 5:37. https://www.dropbox.com/s/46a3aekypubxh16/Super%20Mario%20Bros.bk2?dl=0

@Demo You need a faster underground, faster flagpole glitch inputs wouldn't even result in a successful glitch.

You did a serious necro post here - confused the heck out of me as I was reading mav's post (from a year ago) about a "new" fpg setup.
