User Files for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

A resync of Donkey Kong Country 2 any% to 2.9.1, automated using an script. From https://tasvideos.org/4048M

Emulation differences reduced the final time by -00:03.75 (-247 fewer lag frames, and 23 extra lag frames)

Note (19 July 2023): GBAHawk is probably now a more accurate option than BizHawk 2.9.1, and I suspect there are probably around 30-60 seconds more lag on it to match more accurately with real console.

Note (4 October 2023): I recently did a resync showing that GBAHawk does indeed have notably more lag than mGBA. It wasn't quite as significant as I initially proposed, though. It had 6.898 seconds of additional lag.

70 seconds ahead of Avanor's old TAS. 50 seconds ahead of my and Illayaya's 2018 TAS. Massive improvement due to heavy optimizations. Contains speed/entertainment tradeoffs.

Bizhawk 2.5.1, EU version.

180 frames saved in 6-2 Castle Crush 1 frame saved in 6-4 Windy Well something frames saved in 6-B

Bizhawk 2.4 USA version

4 lag frames slower. USA version.

The rules of this category are the same as on speedrun.com/dkc2gba = use the FREEDOM cheat code (unlocks all stages), beat all Lost World stages and beat K. Rool.

This beats Avanor's TAS by 22 seconds RTA timing. This can be improved by several seconds, though. USA version.

European version of the game. ROM filename: "1540 - Donkey Kong Country 2 (E)(Morrigan).gba"
