I spent quite some time doing a new run on Donut Plains 1 b, in the end reaching the keyhole 10 frames faster than Alexis and also discovering some ugly graphic glitches:
These glitches are reproducable, you can download 2 movies of it
here and
here
I'm not really sure whether those glitches are a fault of Snes9x or the game itself...
Anyway, then I wanted to hex my old version of Donut Secret 2a into it, but no matter how I adjusted the "enter-level-frame", it kept desynching. Probably because I had entered the level a lot later in the game, with a completely different amount of lives and coins etc...
So, nice try, but I'll have to live with the fact that it *could* have been done a little bit better by chosing a better worldmap route, but I'm not going to do all the levels again because of that :P (it would only be a difference of ~ 30 frames, if at all...)
Volkov, if you also want to try a 97 levels run yourself, you could maybe pick this slightly better route. Although I must say it would be pretty depressing if you could finish this in just one week, while I've been working on this for almost seven weeks now and have just about completed half of it :S
