In the year 2001 it was the first time I improved the worldrecord for longest checkmate with mate in 267 moves . Have a look at  the second diagram :

Between 2001 and 2022 I improved my own worldrecords for longest checkmate many times :

There is another Blathy puzzle which is much "simpler" and only takes 262 (or was it 257) moves to mate. Also looks legal, anyone know which one I am talking about?

It is the one where black king is on queenside and has to be triangulated by white queen to gain tempto while white king goes around from queenside to kingside. There are some black knights on 8th rank.

Thanks for the details. I found it. It looks like it is 292 moves, and legal to boot.

This mate in 292 is cooked and ends up being a mate in 42 (or less):
