Welcome to my new Abe's Exoddus TAS completed in 59:40. This movie is slightly slower than the current published TAS dueto using an accurate emulator, Bizhawk with it's Otoshock core. There has been some slight changes to some ofthe levels in the first disc of this game. More information is in the level comments. THe in-game time mtaches Dooty's time, 00:41, but then after the bad ending screen disappears, the game timer then shows 00:40.

level by Level Improvements

Necrum Mines

On the first level of the game, I improve this level by using the ledge glitch shortcut taken from the 100% run. Itho seems a lot faster to use the closest ledge.

Mudomo Vaults

On the third door that I enter, I save a few frames by waiting less for the two paramties to turn arround. In Dooty's run, it took him 53 frames of no input before he could run towards the ledge. I also used the route in the next door from the 100% run which also saved a few frames.

Mudanchee Vaults Ender

In Dooty's run, he couldn't run pass one of the scrabs due to it's AI. He had to hoist against a ledge. In my run, Abe manages to jump towards the scrab and run towards it without it killing Abe.

Feeco Depot

I manage to save a few frames in the Depot thanks to not waiting for the Greeters to move.

Zulags

In the last door in Hub 2, I saved a few freames with the sligs whilst trying to shot the Sligs from the foreground.

Well, that was nice 15 minutes.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Spikestuff told me that this movie wasn't using the correct BIOS so I am redoing the movie to match the new BIOS.

No, let's correct this, you originally used the wrong bios (SCPH1001). Once you made it here, after my warning, you decided to change it to the preferred bios (SCPH-7003 or SCPH-5501). Doing this would causes a desync, since the SCPH1001 bios is much slower than the preferred one. I'm clearing air here, due to the fact that your submission text says the preferred bios, only due to you modifying the header files.

I can confirm that my original file I uploaded on my storage does syncs with the updated BIOS. I should submit that one of it syncs with SCPH7003.bin.
