Can't continue this on BizHawk due to the mission itself freezing the game after a certain point. Same happens on real hardware, so this is only possible on DeSmuME.
...and, uh... i don't wanna lmao

Movie was redone on BizHawk so I hope TASing this becomes much easier now.
WIP of the real dlc mission for epf. I need to keep up with the new stuff found since the 2018 TAS.
This is being done on the initial european version of the game, using a save file where the mission was downloaded way back in the day.
We use a save file since that's the only possible, legitimate way of accessing the mission without hacking the savefile with a save editor.

Emulator Settings:
- Advanced Bus-Level Timing on.
- Rest off.
An IL TAS. Takes advantage of being able to press the quit button without reverting to the main menu in order to glitch the destination room when we next open any other menu, allowing us to bypass an entire segment of the mission and complete it in less than a minute.
Uploading as a Userfile for reference.

This IL run uses a new strat found by Weils that lets you skip most of the mission by doing a fade in click on the quit button and exiting a menu to use the map before you should be able to. I believe this happens because the game sets a variable for where to go after clicking the quit button, but doing a fade-in click prevents the game from actually loading it.
YET ANOTHER RESYNC THINGY HOORAY.
This time is yet another time save in mission 3 where I intentionally crash in the snowboarding minigame multiple times to finish it early, saving a significant amount of time.
HOPEFULLY I CAN START TASING THE REST OF THE GAME NOW RIGHT GUYS

Found out a pause trick in the snow boarding minigame on mission 3 that saved me 2 seconds and then I had to resync the whole thing and redo the cart surfing game and the dancing game due to having different RNG.
God bless notepad++, holy guacamole
