[quote]Unfortunately, if it's based on the PC version of VBA (it's probably the case), it's not allowed. The GB/GBC emulation does not emulate the lag (not really an issue for DX though) and the framerate is slightly faster.[/quote] I use to play LA with VisualBoyAdvance and there is lags. :o

Oki. Thanks.

Maybe it's a stupid question but... is there a way to mark all threads read?

[quote]Also if you need any help with the glitches, feel free to ask, there are not much explanations for the LA-only glitches yet.[/quote]Oki, thanks. For now I collect informations by looking tutorials about LADX, then I try tricks (and other things like that...) on LA. I have a first goal which is making a good run without hard things to do (for me ^^) like, for exemple, the hookshot-jumping.

[quote]ACE means Arbitrary Code Execution, basically by naming all three files a certain way, you can rewrite stuff in the game, and it is used to make a credit warp when you open one chest in the doghouse.[/quote]I see. xD Not that kind of glitch I want to use. But interesting for my personnal knowledge. ^^

Thanks too for the discord link and the explanation for "ICS". :)

Luck? Where I'm going I don't need luck.

(xD thank you!)

@PresJPolk > oki, thanks. :) What is "ACE"? (I knew it but I don't remember) And, if you know, what is "ICS"? (sorry for my newbie's questions ^^' )

@zmaster91 > you answer for everything, thanks a lot, really! :)

@aulos > thanks too!

I think I will never make a great performance, in any category, but I think I can make something cool and share it with you. :)

Edit: perhaps I will have other little questions in a near future, but for now I have what I searched for, thanks again guys!

Hello, thank you for your (rapid) reply!

[quote]nosqwwoob is an LADX thing for the most part. In LA you usually run what is usually called Warpless, which uses deaths and S+Q wherever appropriate.[/quote]But why that difference between the two games? (if I am not wrong, for a speedrun there is no real difference between the games)

[quote]Deathless would be pretty tedious as it would involve lots of extra rupees in order to buy an extra thing[/quote]Not so much, it just require 200 rupees to buy the shovel, which can be easily collected on D1, the road to D2 and D2. The rule "you can die but only if it isn't advantaging you" is not ...enough accurate to me. ^^ (and make the run less elegant, in my personal opinion)

Hi! ^^

I'm new here but familiar with the speedruns of the game. I've seen many runs, some tutorials (always difficult to me because of my not fluent english but still interesting), and I've made myself some speedruns, unrecorded (my PB is 1:56:55, but the last time I made speedruns of the game I didn't know a lot of tricks). For some reasons (which are not the topic here ^^) I really prefer the black and white version, that why I always run this version.

My questions:

1. I know in the traditional No S&Q/WW/OoB we are allowed to die in the shop, and I suppose it's still being a SS run, but: is there a category "No S&Q/WW/OoB and No Death"? The reason I ask this is I like to make a run without dying, it's ...prettier I think, we see Link making the whole adventure without dying, and without seeing the files menu. If there is no category like this, can it be created? I swear I don't want to create a category to be the first at something, on the contrary, I like challenges. But, truly, making Link dying is pertubing me (despite there is no real death warping).

2. I've heard on a video tutorial for LADX (which works for LA I suppose) that the only emulators allowed are Gambatte, BizHawk and BGB. But the video has been posted several month ago, so my questions are: are these three ones still allowed? And are there other ones allowed?

3. Is it allowed, in the emulator, to configure a key to simulate the A+B+Start+Select input?

4. I've heard that JP 1.0 and US 1.0 are recommended for LADX runs (and, I suppose, LA runs), why? I've also heard that most of people use the JP (1.0) version, is it because of texts shorter?

Thanks a lot for all you will can anwser about these questions! :)

[quote]hey french people are cool[/quote]Not all of us, sadly. :D But don't worry I'm a cool one you will not have problems with me. ^^

[quote]i dont know anything about it[/quote]Eiji Aonuma called it "the quintessence of Zeldas 2D". All is said. :D And I know my preference about the version is not popular but : I prefer the black and white version. ^^

[quote]bathrooms are two doors to your left[/quote]Do you say that because of the cliche of Frenches being always dirty ? èé Ha ha I joke don't worry. x) Thanks for your welcoming ! ;-)

Hi! My name's Nemau, I'm 28 and I'm French (apologies for mistakes...).

I'm a very fan of Zelda: Link's Awakening, I use to speedrun it for many years just for fun but I want to make a "real" time (my PB is only 1h 56min 55s!) so I came here to ask some questions about speedrunning this game. :-) (in a next topic) Don't worry I have seen many videos, tutorials, FAQs... so I will not ask basic questions. ^^

Happy to be here!
