encode
I made this TAS to see if I could get the 5.57, and yes, I just got it! I am completely blind, so I had to take a screenshot and open it in Chrome to check the final times for each attempt.
small improvements in a lot of places, and a bigger improvement on Macho. May submit soon, once I have an encode ready. Patched from the PRG1 Rom of MTPO (USA).

Well, not very long, but I wanted to show a possible improvement to Kurikinton's TAS, and the only way I can really do that is through the boss rush. To get to the boss rush without having beaten the game, just press B at the start. By typing end when you find The Guy, you can actually skip the fight entirely, saving a few minutes over the current TAS.
This script will tell you the current frame, followed by your TIDs, and output them to a txt file. I set it to test.txt because I wasn't sure if it would work sometimes. I also made a script for Yellow version.
I have no idea what just happened, but I got to the character select screen faster than if I got a game-over. I'm wondering if this could be used for a faster game end glitch? Anyway, here's a video of what happened: https://youtu.be/DzSZsQMqQng
Please note: the blank count is probably slightly inaccurate. The movie didn't originally have a blank count, so I recorded a wav file and estimated when the movie ended.

This is a TAS of Final Fantasy Origins for the PS1. I travel to a square away from Elfheim so you can hear the most ship music. For this route, I will need to do 15 puzzle twice.
