flagpole glitch resource?
3 years ago
Alberta, Canada

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to get a flagpole glitch and am getting verrry tired of failing. I see under “resources” some practice savestates for powerpack and everdrive. Alas I do not have these.... If only some brave hero could provide a savestate for fceux.... then perhaps I could finally be free of this torture.

cheers

I recommend downloading the Pellsson practice ROM and learning how to do FPG by practicing with the scenario option. I also will recommend watching this video before doing attempts to understand what your doing and how it works.

I’ll check out that practice rom. HonestIy just want to know whether I’m boofing the steps, the block.... or both :p

The practice ROM is super helpful. It will immediately stop you when you do something wrong and it is great for learning exactly what to do. After learning though I would recommend making a savestate in 1-1 after exiting the pipe after the underground section and practicing FPG from there. It can really help making the entire section muscle memory rather than only FPG. Hopefully this was helpful. Good luck

oooooh, that does sound super helpful. Can’t believe I’m just learning about this, so far I’ve just been save stating on fceux. It works, but pellson sounds great for some of the more fussy inputs. Excited to give it a try and git gud!

Thanks for all your suggestions I’ll look to you in the future should I need more guidance........ which I probably will 🙃
