Sounds good!
It seems that many people have been experencing sync problems on PSXHawk since 2.4. I think I'll stick with 2.3.3 with this run for the time being. I am 34 frames ahead than this cancelled run at Paramonian Temple so most of it will sync until I get to the Paramoinan Nests and then I'll need to try and get it to get the hitbox glitch with the 2 paramites in the Nests to quickly dodge them. Hopefully this new movie I submit will get a sub 1:05:00 in Bizhawk as well and hopefuly will fix the audio bug in Stockyards Return as well. Fingers crossed!

Real time will not matter if the changes were due to emulation difference. It will not be something a judge will count against you.
OK. I'll try to resync it on 2.5 for now.

Then you could also resync it on the lastest build if you want :>.
That's a good idea. However, the latest build makes the game run slower and makes realtime less accurate against all my other Abe movies.

Out of curiosity, what are the chances of getting this to sync on the latest bizhawk?
I'm trying to sync it on the latest Bizhawk but I've been getting desycns all across the board and for timing accuracy, the game loads slightly slower than the previous Mednafen PSX core so I would have to go by the in-game timer if it's faster or not than this movie.

So this is very odd. I manage to save 35 frames up to this point of my 1:04:18 run in Paramonia but the game decides to crash on me. I should try on Bizhawk 2.5 or just leave my run completed in the Workbench. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/66024906555578843

So I been going through this TAS today and I managed to save some time but now I ran into a desync again in the Paramonian Nests. This one is a pain to fix but if I fix all the hard desyncs I will be sending an updated movie soon! But then there was one time I was saving about 20 frames or so but then I got to one part in Paramonia and the game crashed before the bees section. Update: here's the movie that crashes: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/66024906555578843

Sub-13. Wow! Yes vote. Regarding tier choice, I believe that it is just the number of small improvements. I believe this is an entertaining game (and TAS), from the skips to the "Freeze!" - Good game, good TAS.
Thanks for yes vote! I’m almost done with the 100% TAS. I ran into a desync in the Slog Kennels of Zulag 4 which I will fix. The second Mudokon doesn’t want to go off screen. There’s plenty of new strats in this one and all the strats that were used in the any% run like the roll into jump in the Stockyards is now in the new 100%.

OK so Himdawg just gave me some things I can try to improve this TAS in particular. I should try and add these fixes and see if I can improve it and a get a sub 13. He has pointed out 6 mistakes: 1.) In Rupture Farms: You did a slow enter on the door after shadow slig 2.) In Stockyards, you can do a roll jump after the first slog (it's rng whether he'll end up with a good amount of distance to you) 3.) In Stockyards, instead of sliding and chant at the end where the second slog is, do roll to stand up, chant, and go on 4.) In Monsaic Lines, where you double chant to get past the slinger guy. I feel like you can go a few frames earlier? It's just a hunch 5) FFZ, the slog chase: you can do a far grab there 6) Zulag 4: just before you enter slog kennels: roll just one tile further so you quik enter So I think I need to put this on delayed and cancel publication for now until I add these improvements to the movie then I'll add a replacement file here.

Well, I've been playing around with the game today and haven't found anywhere I can save time so I doubt this movie will be improved again.

I don't think the runs are half-assed, I'd just like to prevent another situation where we dedicate time and resources to judging a run, then multiple improvements, and then fully processing a supposed final version only to have a brand new improvement come in barely a week after publication with an immediate subsequent improvement afterward. I'll replace the file now, but I'm going to hold off on judging just in case more improvements manage to trickle in.
OK fair enough. Let's hope someone finds a new strat that will hopefully get a sub 13.

Yeah the only one trick that make's it hard to resync in an any% run is the bees in the Monsaic Lines. I have a struggle to get the glitch to work in a realtime run on the PC version it has a 20% chance of success!

No, this is the final version.

You’ve tried your best to optimize those tricks as much as possible?
I think so yeah. I’m gonna try and fix the ending as this is the first time I heard the Sligs keep shooting repeatedly at the end. If I fix that I’ll be sending a fixed movie file. Update: This time I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what causes this to happen at the end. This is the first time it has ever happened in a PSX run so I'd gueess I'll have to leave it in.

It's pretty difficult considering that all the known tricks are in use it's very hard to optimize.

Screenshot suggestion?
You can decide - maybe on one place where Abe does one of the new strats where he rolls into a jump.

I for one have been working on some remasters of some Pokémon music and this one gets me in particular, the pitch bends and the modulation effects this is a great MIDI to work with and I use a ripped MIDI with the soundfont from the game - I'm going to get someone to make an accurate transcription soon! Here the latest mixdown I uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSPaX6GwcQg And last year I got someone to make me a re-arrangement in Logic and his master was pretty good - although now I got a better MIDI file with accurate pitch bends I should make a new mixdown of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cMXsRawGSg The modulation on the EXS24 plugin makes it vibrate and echo in some parts it's pretty cool!

Oh boy it looks like I will have to put this run as delayed again as I have seen some improvements I can do at the first stage of the game thanks to CrashingSnake https://youtu.be/uKvSitYvBXM?t=44 I'll see if it saves time - if it does and I get the bees to sync again I will have to delay this one again. Update: I got as far as Monsaic Lines and the new RF route makes it faster so I will need to set this to delayed again. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I do not think that this bug can be used for any good purpose, more than for the lolz! 'think the game is freezing, from the second Abe becomes "squared". Do you have any ideas?

Yeah that square glitch happens on doing an auto turn glitch on a glitched up frame. It also happens in the Monsaic Lines too in a 100% PSX run so I have to wait 10 frames before doing the ledge glitch.
