You don't need to test on console because... You can learn what the input is for a trick in the english RTA route and do it on emulator, and if it ever doesn't match up you can report it as a bug :D
6: This could be a huge problem. If glitched action commands behave vastly differently between English console and English emulator, I won't be able to use the English version. In that case I'm going to take the Japanese version without a question.
Can a bug report be filed? Or are there no active devs?
If you try and re-manipulate it every time you think of just one input, you will go crazy :D
Sit on it, maybe you'll find other things in the mean time, or maybe someone will figure out how the big glitch works.
At places like 9:25, can you not do an early jump (doing the jump before earlier to accomodate, of course) so you fall faster and don't have to slow down as much horizontally?
Similarly at 10:01, while ascending, if you waited until the last frame you don't run into the wall before starting to hold right, you'll have more horizontal speed coming out of it, right?
Memory Hacking Software. http://memoryhacking.com/download.php You use it to find addresses in emulated games. (If you've ever seen skater82297, cosmowright or sockfolder stream with a bunch of memory adddresses up, they're using MHS)
What I think you should look into, RAM addresses wise,
->Pac-man speed
->Positions
->Cursor position
->Important sprite position(Example:the dog position)
