A test tas to demonstrate odd desync behavior. The furthest I've gotten was to luke, leia and yoda face off that ended up with desync. Sometimes leia doesn't appear which happened the first time I reached it. Pretty intense moment too.

To sync as far as I did:

look up mooseswb2part1 for rom(not sure if it matters what rom dump you use as there's all dumped the same way) place the save state file in ~config/ppsspp/PSP/PPSSPP_STATE edit ini file in ~config/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini on line FrameSKipUnthrottle to False

open up battlefront 2 once in the native emulator to set location

in native ppsspp, go to controls edit controls and remove unthrottle key in exchange for speed-toggle and set that to tab key. Then set state load to 2 open ppsspp with libtas runtime backup save files in memory - off go under input - configure input and disable fast forward play back and literally hope for the best. Each time you play you'd likely see different things by the time I square off with a bunch of jedi after killing han solo in that alleyway. I do die to obi wan while I kill him at the same time, that's a part of the movie. I know its unoptimized, but this a test and is prone to desyncs. Once fixed, I will redo these with far more optimized.

How far can you get?

While I did beat the world record, somehow someone beaten the first mission by 2 seconds. I also didn't manage to beat all known records in the levels, and I'm honestly not sure why. 3D driving games are difficult to optimize, and I'm not planning on doing this again.

Could someone make an encode for me?

I couldn't figure out how to shoot, and accepted some damage as I didn't see it as much of a time loss and the fact its just a testrun.

That picture puzzle is really easy to solve.

Got as far as I can get..

Why can't I proceed? I get past 4 missions, and can't proceed any further..

Do I seriously have to redo the mission?

This is just minute and a half faster than my other wip.

However, while that may not seem like much, this run incorporates a newer route where I get 2 enemies in a random encounter and beat them in the fastest possible way. I also get to buy clouds ultimate weapon without selling anything. I can also proceed with buying tifa's ultimate weapon once I'm out of aeris's house.

In other words, this will be a massive improvement.

Another optimized product.

This time it doesn't (accidentally) start from save state.

8 minutes faster than my 3rd attempt!

I don't know what to say about improving this any further.. I mean, I could restart again and try to manipulate battles to be smaller and get the best equipment and work my way to kalm to buy ultimate equipment, but its so hard to say.. I'm sure I can improve this section more, but routing this game is like routing ffxiii.. But worse..

Just posting the first 2 battles for memory address reasons

Rerecord count is high because I'm past reno, but just wanted the first 2 battles

Optimized product.

I'm having some trouble with syncing the file though..

It seems to be because of hardware problems, but my CPU isn't THAT bad.. idk

Tas route I have made up.

Very risky! 7 minutes ahead of the world record. And very different route from the RTA.

Mash the attack button and hope for the best!

Phase 1: Defend and go backwards Phase 2: Attack the first to low HP Phase 3: Hop over and finish the first one Phase 4: Knock her into the wall and murder her

Very hard game to optimize, already more than 1300 rerecords off movement alone. Duals weren't really manipulated...

I'm just placing this here for safekeeping. Taking a break from the game as those "grand staircase" really started getting old. As well as the repetitive nature of this game.

Just leaving this here for safe keeping. I did try to optimize it, so its not like THAT bad right now.

Why does it freeze on me at the end? Wtf? I used to have a better drift at that last part, but "tested" to see if that was the issue.. idk, maybe its my angle..

Stuck at the very end... Ran out of ammo.

Really put myself in a difficult spot..

This is just for a tool later on I suppose.. Nothing all that serious..

Wow, I'm only 15 minutes behind my test speedrun of any%.

Good RNG all around :)

For Rufus, I'm gonna use the old strat against him to get clouds limit break up. Motor ball should be interesting. For the gunners, the usual strat. Limit breaks for barret and red and use them agaist heli.

I love this segment!

From new game to aps.
