Now that LibTAS is an option for TASing Windows games, does anyone know if any of the Abe games work on LibTAS? I think the PC version of Exoddus would be an interesting one to TAS as it has more glitches than the PSX version. For instance, the any% route can be beaten in under 17 minutes due to a glitch known as the Advance Relocation Glitch (ARG). Here's a realtime speedrun of this in action 0 it's also less laggy compared to the PSX version. Also, the 100% route has access to more hidden wells that are impossible to do on the PSX version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssCf2HFjnWg&ab_channel=LegnaX

If you can get it working in PCem, probably.

Yeah, running it on it's native OS Windows 95 may be an option as Abe has audio issues on Windows XP as I used to have so many XP systems back in the day. The secret area chimies would play the wrong notes as demonstrated in this speedrun video here - it sounds like flashgame quality audio https://youtu.be/6NLpaX0TivI?t=515

So as I know Windows XP has issues playing audio at it's best sample rate and has pitch issues wih some sounds... so here's an alternative, I can run the game at it's highest audio sample rate on a custom Windows 98 SE archive I found... I tested the Italian version and it works fine, no audio issues! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RMMeZsQNYi93NSYHiRSKrhz7XCskC9s_/view?usp=sharing And for proof, here's the game being played on XP - this is demonstrating the sound glitches https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L41m1_C51z5TgJkUimHUzLq2jW3BDzXi/view?usp=sharing
