Livesplit Autosplitter for DS Pac-Man World 3. This is the version with a load-time remover (compare as game time). Run it through Bizhawk's Lua console and it should work. Only tested with Bizhawk 2.9.1, but it could work on other emulators like DeSmuME with minimal changes.

-- Adapted from Trysdyn Black's autosplitters https://github.com/trysdyn/bizhawk-speedrun-lua/
-- Requires LiveSplit 1.7+. Only tested on BizHawk 2.9.1
