It is possible to edit this flag after the fact using a hex editor, but if you're getting desyncs when you manually delete your save before playing the movie, you'll get desyncs with this as well. You'll most likely need to redo your TAS.
Why wasn't that necessary with Sonic and the Black Knight? No matter how often I play back the file, there's never any save file (despite them being present in the corresponding folder).
Currently playing Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. Each time I play the .dtm file, my hiscores are wiped and the game starts fresh also.
I'm not sure if I'm ever able to get a synced TAS file with games where I have to manually delete the save. I'll keep on trying different games though -- but it's almost as if deleting the files messes up the seed in which the game is started and gives it a completely different RNG.
