Hey I was wanting to do the new any% route but I always crash when I open the chest. I watched a few runs that did it and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's a video example of how it fails. I used bgb and some savestates to quickly retry, and used the GBC pack in the resources section so I should have the right version. If anybody knows what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

opening the menu 1 room before the chest room is key, also you have to open the chest right after you take damage.

Edit: after watching your video, you opened the chest too late, open it right after taking damage(a few frames after). Its more consistant that way but its still not 100% success.

name files also looked ok

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Any% ACE hard to achieve on BGB?

I'm pretty sure most of the Any% ACE Runners are using Bizhawk/Gambatte to achieve this?

Good luck though Exodus!

Thanks to both of you for your help, I got it to work by switching to Gambatte and opening the chest as soon as I get hit.
