Hi!

Recently, a new WR submitted run was accepted, and removed some time after. Was it rejected after? Deleted by user? I peeked on youtube and the video still exists.. any clue?

Concerning emulators, this is more curiosity than validity for now. This game is one of the most stable i have run. Usually there are only 60 - 80 machine lag frames only per run, and they happen mostly at one fixed moment at the game start.

I seen that there is an interesting emulator i hadn't heard about, emulicious, and started to get info about accuracy. I contacted its maker who told me that "his main concern was to be closest to original machine" but no more details for the moment about actual lag frames.

From what i experienced myself: _Bizhawk: totally ok. simulating lag frames. possibility to display them, and re-records too (possibility to check for single-segment) _Kega: seems legit about lag frames, no confirmation though (roughly tested with game gear games that create tons of lag, seems good) _others: no info or personal testing

Anyone have clues about that too? It would be good if there is a way in emulicious to check for single-segment even if i won't be picky for the moment

Hullo there!

Time has already passed since i stumbled upon speedrunning (88mph times, for the french dudes that know it)... GDQs were in a garage (but already were past the 100K!!).. it seems grown and full now :P

I'm actually very glad that the new release brought here some serious guys! Always wanted to improve my last run, but time went scarce this last year.. glad someone else did!

I was not the first to run the game of course, special mention to Synhael that reminded me how awesome this game from my childhood is, and couple of tricks i didn't know. Other mention to the various TASers, specially 8bitbeast for plentyfull discussions about the game RNG. But still, people were saying i was crazy when i began to route with 2 hearts.. some other complained about legitimity because of Hades armour.. but guys, if something can teach you about dedication and fun at the same time, it is games!! Still thought that the route was much fun, so i kept doing it..

But time hurries on, and the leaves that are green turn to brown ^^ just saying i played this game as a kid tells you that soon i'll look more like gandalf than bilbo (haha). Jokin' a bit, but yeah, had many stuff involved in my life, just hoping i'll have time to speedrun one day quite soon.. dunno when.. but this year i changed carieer, became officially developper!!! Who knows?? Maybe i'll make the one that you'll end up running!!!

Cheers all and keep the strats going! Kaddath

Hi,

I am currently working on different runs for this game, and there is an item, the tasmanian sword, that allows skipping of 2 dungeons and bosses (it can be seen in the WR european version in the SDA website). There is also a glitch with swimming that skips parts of the games (can be seen in the TAS on the tasvideos website).

Considering this, i suggest the addition of these categories for this game: _All bosses (No tasmanian) _All bosses glitched (No tasmanian) _Any% glitched

I dont really consider suggesting more categories now, despite the fact that to allow the use of the tasmanian in all bosses could gain a little time, because it would merely make the Daimyo dungeon less interesting, and last dongeon too. Maybe i will consider more categories (like 100%) if more people run this game.

Hi!

I'm Kaddath, and i run this game on emulator, where you can do the same glitch you can see in the TAS, by pressing right and left at same time. I remember you could do this glitch on the atari when i played this game as a kid :p

Just i thought this run was funny, and it has lots of cool tricks too, planned to do the regular any% but some other projects went first.

So i thought, if it is possible to add a new category glitched% for this game, i would be cool..

Some runs can be found as old highlights in my twitch channel if you are interested.

Hi,

I'm Kaddath, a guy who does speedruns!

I mostly run Game Gear games, as i had one as a child and i think this platform is a bit underrated, mostly because it has a bunch of really good games that are specific to the platform. I didn't take it real seriously in terms of leaderboard because i knew SDA don't take emulators, and i was kind of waiting to have a modded Game Gear for video export. Didn't run for almost a year, and now i come back i'm glad there is a website like this one!

Some questions:

¤ I'd like to submit some times i did on games that are not listed here, the form tells that it should not be used just to add games, is this precision aimed to people who want to add games but don't want to moderate them? I'n not against moderate them but leads to question 2

¤ Is there any kind of problem if the moderator is the one that's holding the record? like fearing partial behaviours?

¤ I haven't seen anywhere on the web a kind of official list of emulators accepted for Game Gear, that can emulate the machine lag properly for example. Am i to create the list or would any emulator be accepted, or maybe it depends on the game?

¤ Runs i did in the past were streamed on twitch, but with very bad quality due to my connexion at that time, is it better that i try to pb on local with better quality recording or is it ok?

Thank you for all and this amazing website!
