I'm using FBA v0.2.97.28's romset (I don't remember how old it is, though), and the run syncs pretty well with it. No need to save states between missions, luckily. Talking about sync, I like how some stages end with a draw, but even when it doesn't, the small "dances" on waiting periods made me smile. So this a Yes from me.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

Draw in the mission 2 can save 67 frames. But in the other stage great is faster than draw by 3-7F

Man, you don't let me enjoy my TAS enough ^^' First time experiment the fact to get obsoleted (after work a year on it like crazy), kinda frustrating but curious of the improvement. Those lag controlling was too hard for my skills...and make the run look more fluid and clean. Some ideas really enjoy me like bomb on 1st helicopter... Unfortunetly i haven't got much time free to TAS (and when i can, i work on an ACE one) so i can't start an improvement war...even if i'd like to put it under 10min... (the movie desync for me just before Morden in final mission) great job!
ACE is my raison d'etre!

im trying to save a state inside a movie so i can keep recording it,how do i do it?i either can't save or keep recording it
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Always love to see Metal Slug TASes, well done x2poet. My only "problem" with them is that you can't have a run that save all the PoW (because of the frames lost at the end of a level) and having a category that does save them is a bit redundant to have XD
I'm the best in the Universe! Remember that!

Emulator's glitch,I open the movie 10+ times and load savestates successfully only once.So it must be done with luck.
Do the work.

One person in the YouTube comments wonders why you didn't shoot down the fifth boss right away (from 7:07 to 7:26 in the YT encode):

If you look at the RAM watch in the bottom-center, it shows the boss HP, which is continually counting down for this boss fight with no input from the user except right at the end. I don't know exactly how that works, though.

I think it has to do with the 35 grenades thrown at the boss at the very beginning of the fight. There is also this excerpt from the submission text of the movie this one obsoleted:
Iron Nokana(hp:4100) is quite strange, you need to take 4090HP and wait for about 1200 frames to finish him.
