I get 0 lag frames here. I managed to finish the run and get 11:35 TAS time. I need to figure out how to get the ingame time. There’s a specific memory address that calculates the IGT, there might be a way to show it as a lua script… https://youtu.be/mXc5blY-oWo?si=SESdykkHJs8cPOyw

Here’s a test TAS of Oddysee any% on PC. The game runs almost perfectly with a random pause at the main menu. This one uses SoundBlaster 16 Vibra and an VGA S3 Trio card and a Pentium III. I wonder what causes Oddysee to randomly slow down? There is a native DOS version that might be better. https://youtu.be/PNOV3RpzDDg?si=5oI-BiIvCCeCIDzR

Here's the TAS test of Oddysee any% on PC. It appears to be slower than the PSX timing due to the extra frames of 95 and game booting, the game starts at frame 1000 but ultimately it's quicker than PSX without the booting of 95. With 500 re-records I got the bee DDG and now I got more invisible play! I know the RAM address for the IGT but haven't got it to show up in the RAM Address viewer. Would love to have it displayed somewhere on the screen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNOV3RpzDDg

I notice that when TASing Abe there is distortion in most sound effects and the Secret Area chime in Exoddus gets affected towards the end. I came across this thread that demonstrations differences with SB16 cards and some distortion on DosboxX Maybe there's a way to eliminate it, I did several tests on PCEm and using a PCI sound card reduced the distortion https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=49896&hilit=skyroads+distortion&start=40

Yeah I heard about rollover I had a Lenovo laptop that suffered with a similar key combination to my Dad’s Dell 7570 which might have a similar keyboard to the Lenovo.

I notice something when inputting with DOSBox. I can't get it to recognize 2 inputs at a time when advancing fames, it only works with one button at a time. On PSX I'm able to map my gamepad and freeze multiple inputs at a time. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xwbAUCyAAPl2Y09nyyUStdFkmMifaG5C/view?usp=sharing

Why was this canceled? I haven't had a chance to try your suggestion.
There's been some new starts being discovered with some popular runners running a seperate category that we do on Speedrun.com known as 'Good Ending' which could save time. I'm re-doing it.

Alright...then I'm at a loss here. I am not able to sync this submission.
Have you tried switching the core to Otoshock? That’s the one I used. Bizhawk 2.10 only has Otoshock.

I use Bizhawk 2.10 for this one as it's the most relaible version to sync with my inputs. Also, I use the very last BIOS, SCPH7003.bin which was recommended to me by Spike a long time ago.

That part does look a bit strange, but it’s actually faster to start walking right after the drop than to wait for the animation to finish. Interestingly, in the PAL version of the game, the behavior is the opposite.
I tried doing that strat on the PC version, the stop turn glitch is difficult in realtime the ledge glitch is easier. Update I just did a check, the way I do it in the any% TAS, on PC I got a 4.06 and your way I get a 4.18...

Here’s something I noticed. What about the ledge drop around 01:15? I feel my way in the 12:50 run is quicker. I had a go at doing the Mudokon rescue strat in Zulag 1 it’s doable in RTA on PC, nice find!

Thank you, Sam. 52:24, right? I’ll check it out and see how it can be improved. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and give feedback! edit: Spawning and despawning enemies does take some time, but in this specific spot it doesn’t seem to make much difference, since Abe doesn’t need to jump over those mines - and jumping is slower overall. I’ve just compared both variations of that section:
  • Alive Abe: 319 frames
  • Dead Abe: 200 frames
Yeah I'm talking about the actual bit when the Slog disappears at the end of Zulag 4 before the Boardroom. In most runs and TASes the slog doesn't spwan so the disappearing animation doesn't happen. In my 100% run I was able not to spwan any Slogs in that section so the animation doesn't appear: https://youtu.be/r4Txh4ZCA_g?si=zFZs_U-UCm7hBCk-&t=3818

Nice to see you back TASimg again Dooty, I noticed a little thing that can be improved around 52:24 with the Slog that spawned causing it to disappear. This can loose a little bit of time comparing to my any% run he doesn’t spwan at all at that section.

I been testing Abe’s Exoddus in DOSBOX and I’m experiencing audio and FMV issues. There is a fix that can resolve these issues using a DDDraw dll. I’m running this on a desktop preset with a Pentium III. I have read that Voodoo cards have issues with audio even on PCEm. I tried with a PCI audio driver on PCEm and get the same background sounds in the secret area chime. Take a look at this clip https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PyS6yA-787pEHYtIRkIuq-_C53NFfb51/view?usp=drivesdk

I've been going through your movie for a few days and I must have some local problems here. When it comes time for the second disc, I get errors that crashes the emulator. I'm going to have to experiment with some things to see if I can get past it.
You have to run it through an XML file. I bundle disc 1 and disc 2 and run the movie through there. I'm on a different laptop myself so I may check it on here with the XML file to see fi it gets to the second disc. Also on the current movie page, it says "Soul Storm Brewery," It should say "SoulStorm Brewey. The words 'SoulStorm' are 1 word.

I remember, you canceled your TAS a long while back. Hope, there will be no trouble with this one

I try that opening and closing using the Virtual Pad and it says 'Incorrect disc inserted'. I know where I gone wrong. I have to open the disc first, let go of the 'open' input and then press the close button. Just testing the disc swapping so I know what to do when I get to that point.

Does anyone know how to get the second disc from games like Abe's Exoddus to show up on the Virtual Pad? I bundled my discs here with XML but I only get 1 to show up: https://ibb.co/Vc8V8Gym
Link not working, can you embed your .xml here?
Here it is: 
Language: xml
<BizHawk-XMLGame System="PSX" Name="Abe's Exoddus">
  <LoadAssets>
    <Asset FileName=".\Oddworld Abe's Exoddus Disc 1\Oddworld - Abe's Exoddus [Disc1of2] [U] [SLUS-00710].cue" />

  </LoadAssets>
</BizHawk-XMLGame>
and here's the screenshot of the VirtualPad showing only 1 disc

Well this is a shame, I'll have to cancel this one as I been told about some new strats that would save time for PSX. So there will be a new update. But not sure how long it'll take to sync it all. Cancelling this one for now.

Here it is @feos, this is the glitches that occour when emulating 95... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5B4SxDInFc
Installation of Windows 98 seems to be impossible without the license key, so we can't support if officially on the site. We support XP and 95 because there's a way to not enter any license key for them. So you'll have to TAS this game in either XP or 95, depending on which one has fewer audio/visual bugs. Question tho: did you try enabling compatibility with earlier windows in file properties of the game's executable?
Yeah I belive it's something to do with the sampling rate that the sound plays back on the emulator. How about using Soundblaster 128 PCI? This one doesn't seem to have any audio glitches... https://youtu.be/Rx2H3IV9SG4?si=e52AK3Ti_POsoZvr&t=629 Update: it's getting there! The Secret chime still fails to sound properly at 01:44.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QxgM_uqPJg

I notice that Abe on Windows 95 has audio issues. I.e: it sturggles to play high pitched sounds inclduing the Windows 95 jingle at it's full capacity. Here's a video of AE on Windows 95 I did yesterday, the secret chime is making lots of background noise related to audio emulation - I will make an audio only video later. https://youtu.be/mA4-byY5aHE?si=N4c-FuVNMbwwulr-&t=109
