This TAS uses libTAS 1.4.4 with Adobe Flash Player 32,0,0,465. It's an AS3 game, which Ruffle can't run, so the official Linux flash player has to do.
The game comprises of several SWF files and other misc files (these have to be present, the game will not start up if anything is missing). The main SWF file
phf_spl_spr_gadgetgolf.swf has to be slightly modified in order to run the game locally (to disable a security measure). This can be done easily via ffdec as I have found:
- Open up
phf_spl_spr_gadgetgolf.swfin ffdec. - Expand the
othersfolder - Select
FileAttributes - Click
Editon the bottom of the screen - Untick
useNetwork - Save
Note too that the
phf_spl_spr_gadgetgolf.swf MD5 provided above is of the unmodified file, not of the modified file.
The Adobe Flash Player is not the most reliable at syncing. However, its most problematic part seems to be just the beginning load. I have fairly consistent sync as long as I frame advance slowly in the first 15 frames.
Not strictly required, but it is best that
Recycle threads is enabled. I found this also helps with sync consistency.

Possible Improvements
Hole 3 likely could have some frames shaved off with better RNG.
A better Hole in One might be possible on Hole 6?
Hole 8 can be a Hole in One, but I wasn't able to find the RNG needed to do so (RNG manipulation would need to occur on one of the earlier holes?).
