Not so long ago a huge skip was found. At first, the setup was TAS only, but shortly after the second, RTA viable, setup was found as well. This glitch allows you to jump anywhere in the script, similarly to AJS in the remastered version of GTA: San Andreas.

First of all, you can jump directly to final credits. Second, you can also jump to the last mission, "The Sicilian Gambit", but that crashes the game. Hovewer, it is possible to unlock debug menu with this glitch and warp to "The Sicilian Gambit" through it.

Since a few runs were already finished (both on real hardware and emulator), I'm adding a new "Any%" category to the leaderboards. The old "Any%" is now renamed to "Any% (No AJS)" and it's going to stay the main category. Technically, "ACE" is also possible in this game and the name should probably be "Any% (No ACE/AJS)", but I don't want to confuse people even more.

Rules for the new category:

• Timing: starts as soon as you gain control and ends on the first visible frame of the End Credits
• Timing convention: RTA
• Emulator: allowed (has its own category) Important note for PPSSPP runs: it is mandatory to show the "Fast memory" setting after the run. It must be on. You can find it here: Settings -> System -> Emulation.

Short FAQ: Q: Why is having "Fast memory" on mandatory? A: Having it off allows emulator to not crash on certain opcodes with invalid arguments. This gives an unfair advantage over the real hardware runners.

Q: Why is it allowed to jump to the credits? Shouldn't it be like with VC SSU/SA AJS? A: It is impossible to jump to the final credits in III/VC/SA, because they are a part of the corresponding missions. It is not the case with LCS and VCS. Timing in VCS already ends on the first frame of the credits, so it makes sense to keep it consistent between those titles.

Q: So, it is enough to trigger any credits, right? A: No, only end credits count.

Q: The category says PSP/PS2/Mobile. Does AJS work on PS2/Mobile as well? A: The current setup doesn't work on PS2/Mobile. However, it doesn't mean there're no setups on these versions. Feel free to find one and potentially get a world record.
