Auto Splitter?

Hey all, does anyone know of an auto splitter for this game that works on an emulator? I have been searching for so long, and I can't seem to find one. If there is any autos plitter, would anyone mind giving me instructions on how to set it up?

@NameBrandKetchup FCEUX is an NES game emulator. You can run a .lua script to add extra elements to the gameplay and or display some values othewise hidden in the RAM of the game. With SMB, the RAM changes based on preknown things so you can add splits which can compare to the values that come up with that lua script. Download FCEUX, put the SMB1 ROM onto the emulator, Download the lua file, find out which frames the autosplitter splits on compared to what you expect of the time and load the lua file. Note that this is an internal split within FCEUX and it doesn't save best time or whatsoever. It isn't livesplit and its just a simple script that detects the amount of time that has passed to a certain point minus the amount of frames you entered. There are other options but thats the one thats the most functional which has been shared. I am aware Periwinkle has made one for livesplit and I'm excited too, but for now thats one of the only options for what you are aiming for.
