The game doesn't track percent completion, but these are the only original levels in the game. After level 32, levels 17-32 are repeated in sequence over and over (with ever increasing trip and round numbers), and the game never ends. So this may be eligible for the "100% completion" tag, as it completes 100% of the game's original content.

To answer your original question, your run wouldn't sync in a recent build because Dolphin's timing apparently changed as early as 4.0-1862.
There shouldn't be any problem syncing 4.0.2 movies on the A/V sync 4.0.2 build, since it doesn't change anything in Dolphin other than the video and audio dumping features (which aren't related to emulation). I was able to play back the Luigi's Mansion TAS and the new PM:TTYD TAS in the A/V sync 4.0.2 without any problems, so your run should sync fine in the A/V sync version too.

You're welcome!
I enjoyed reading your comment, ars4326. I was thinking about doing a full run of this game or Ys III next. From the little I played, Ys I seems like a fun game and it might be a nice change of pace to TAS a 2D RPG. The unique method of attack in the Ys series could be fun to optimize too.
Around 10 times, I think. What's nice about it, though, was that the movie kept recording, despite the window going black and shrinking to 1x before switching back to 3x. It could have been an intended feature, like how BizHawk can record resets in movies.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone!
I hadn't, but it's a good idea.
EDIT: I just tested it and it didn't seem to work. I don't think this game recognizes diagonal input, which is a shame, as it would've sped up the walking in the beginning.
There's also this one, which I noticed during the Awards. Does that mean it's okay for Vault runs to have that branch? It might not matter for this movie though, depending on where it gets published.

The easiest way to make the cat choose the meat you picked is to make a savestate beforehand and try different things (press different buttons, wait different amounts of time) before choosing the meat.
Once you get the result you want, make a save state. It might help to be recording a movie file at the time so you can have a record of your successful attempt once you get it.

Remember that you're only voting on the quality of his 4 SNES TASes for last year, notthoseruns for other consoles which were collaborative efforts.
That said, Masterjun did a great job breaking a bunch of SNES games last year, and he has my vote!

Masterjun was pretty much unbeatable this year, though I'm voting for solarplex and Mothrayas too due to all their entertaining and technically well-done runs.
