Some of you may know that I'm working on a TAS right now. Whenever I think I messed up (or actually did mess up) on one part I would have to watch my entire movie until I got to that part, a similar example is when I want to see my progress so far. It gets a little annoying how I have to go all the way from the beginning and watch my run tast-forwarding, which for me takes 5-10 minuts. My question is this: Is there anyway that I can speed up the process of getting to my designated spot?

I haven't used Mupen64 in a while, but does it give you the option to "Save as..." when you make a savestate? What I like to do is make a "milestone savestate", right before or after some major segment of the game, and give it a special name so it doesn't get mixed in with the numbers. Make one of those every 5 minutes, and you'll never have to fast-forward more than 5 minutes, because you can just load your milestone state in read-only mode. Yeah, you have to go through the file selection to get to it if it's specially named, but it's not a big deal when you don't have to load it so often.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
