Tnx, although I still have no real idea of how to use it since I don't know how to view binary. So far I've worked out that I want to copy
13:58:23 >> 14:38:45
into
16:31:38
---------------
I take it one box equals one byte and three boxes equals one frame starting from the point where FF is displayed.
EDIT: I'm not looking at improving the level, I just want to get a 45 exact, I've managed to get roughly 2/3 frames at head, but I've think I've went into the 1000's trying to get this jump, you may have got lucky on the approach and pulled it off in relativley few goes. I really just want to get the run finished since Scrap Brain 1+2 are the only real stages in the way.
EDIT_2:
Good job I payed attention when I was at school, I finally managed after about 8 painstaking attempts to hex edit JXQ's run in sync with mine in Star Light 3. I re-checked the whole movie to make sure it didn't desync anywhere. I had to delay jumping by two frames in order to get the 45, since if you trigger a end switch or signpost on the exact frame that timer increments then it stays where it is.
It took me about an hour on pen and paper to figure roughly the locations of where I needed to copy and paste and it isn't something I'd reccomend anyone to do lightly. Star Light is finished now onto Scrap Brain 1 and to see what I can make of that glitch.

BTW in reference to that Sine wave bit in Act 2, I managed to clear that easily since I spent a lot of re-records trying to gain the maximum possible speed, when I held the A button all the way I nearly cleared the second wall, but I simply had to let of it to avoid colliding into the far wall. Watching inputs in Frame advance would best tell the story to that and what happened at the end of the stage. Left+Right certainly has very weird properties in this game although very rarely any use.
