A few runs on here I've seen have the timers incorrect.

They're showing "Seconds; Frames", instead of "Seconds; Milliseconds"

So a time (The WR for example) 47;19, is 47 seconds and 19 frames. 19 / 30 is 0.633, so the record is actually 47.633.

Just a quick note as I've already seen 3 runs incorrectly timed.

Most people who run / tas this game know of the flagpole glitch. For a long time and even today this glitch is still not RTA viable (technically).

In late 2015, DoorTK became the first person to come up with a setup, and perform the glitch in real time on emulator. (You can see the highlight here:

After that people stopped testing for the most part. (darbian had done a stream where he tested doortk's method, which was unsuccessful)

I decided to pick up flagpole glitch in February, and came up with a set up that worked consistently. (For the movie file: https://mega.nz/#!GVAnGCzb!5iCjGHOJoZCDF0MH7JrPf3w9D2TWCUb_N1gC4A55uWg)

Then I got that setup on emulator from the sky.

After taking a break for a month I got back to it and got it on Console in real time.

Even though I was attempting to use the same setup. I managed to do the jump inside the block different than what I did in the setup. (Movie file for that: https://mega.nz/#!DQAxgB6Z!exaIrB_KXYXlcrc6_c3Y1Yjw9ZeHLCVLGYx_JgmVbEI)

Easiest inputs for the clip itself I could find.

Update! Savestates have now been successfully created for both powerpak and everdrive!

Edit: DARBIAN HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED FLAGPOLE GLITCH AND GOTTEN THE FRAMERULE

UPDATE: Sockfolder has successfully found a set up for flagpole glitch that is much easier, if anyone wants to try flagpole glitch, watch this tutorial.
