TLDR messed up framerule offset

Have been using Fceux emulator save states, Practicing / learning to run on the Pellsson rom. According to Somewes' Bowser pattern website -

I got a 4:55.43, However no FPG no 1-2 or 4-2 clip. Only trick was BBG. I did have pizza but no coke /HAHA sorry I know.. I had to though, I shouldn't have.

Something about that just doesn't make sense? Shouldn't those tricks be necessary for 4:55? Am I just 'bragging' about a save state run?

Still I don't get it. Any run with that time I've seen uses multiple FPG and both those clips. Even some fast accels.

What's the deal? You're the only people who would know. Possibility I realized just now, Maybe I messed up the frame rule offset. I am trying to recreate it. Either way I'm still curious if such a time is possible without all those tricks?

You probably just entered the wrong framerule offset. In the pellsson rom, a framerule offset of 0 corresponds to starting 1-1 on framerule 0009. So if you remember what framerule you started 1-1 on, subtract 9 from that and use that as your offset.

Periwinkle! Thanks. I think I understand now!

4:58.5 Seems to be the time when I subtract 9. Not 100% sure. Is just BBG enough for that time?

I believe you can get 4:58.5 without bbg and just getting 375 4-2 rule and 1 frame wall jump, or it might be a .7 im not for sure

with no hard tricks you can get 4:58.5/.6 with 2 frame, 1 frame walljump will give you a low 4:58 (like 4:58.2 or .3)

For 4:55 the regular route is 1-1 FPG, 1-2G framerule, 4-1 fpg, Fast 4-2, good judges framerule 8-1, BBG, 8-3 FPG, and a decent 8-4 with 1 frame walljump.
