#2 [SETUP] Emulator Setup

# Info

```
Soldier despawn will crash the game on ePSXe versions after v2.0.0
ONLY use ePSXe v2.0.0 to avoid problems
```

# Required downloads

```
ePSXe v2.0.0
SCPH1001.BIN (PS1 USA Bios)
MediEvil (USA) ISO
```

[https://www.epsxe.com/files/ePSXe200.zip](https://www.epsxe.com/files/ePSXe200.zip)

# Preparation

```
Previously used ePSXe and messed with settings?
I recommend clearing what ePSXe put in the registry to start fresh
```

# Setup

### Bios

```
Place SCPH1001.BIN in bios folder
```

```
Config > Bios
TURN OFF Enable HLE Bios
```

### Map your controller buttons

```
Config > GamePads > Port 1 > Pad 1

If you are using a modern controller (PS4/PS5):
J1_LX = Full/Circle 
This fixes the stick being too sensitive and makes it feel the same as a PS2 controller!
```

### Adjust graphics

```
Config > Video
Default settings > Fast (or Nice if your PC can handle that)
```

```
Window size
1080p monitor = 1440 x 1080
1440p monitor = 1920 x 1440

```

# Troubleshooting

### Fix sound crackling

If you are experiencing sound crackling (like the emulator is struggling to run), yet the game plays normally, get this:

https://www.indirectsound.com/

```
Put dsound.dll + dsound.ini in ePSXe main folder
```

#3 [SETUP] Autofire

# **Download**

https://www.speedrun.com/medievil/resources/eh4vb

# 

# **How to use**

```
Get JoyToKey
File -> Open config data folder in Explorer
Place my .cfg file
Restart JoyToKey and select my profile
In ePSXe map your DPAD to the keyboard arrow keys
```

# **How it works**

```
On my PS2 controller:
Button 7 = L1
Button 11 = L3
Button 12 = R3
All are mapped to mash the UP arrow key at different rates.
L1 triggers L1, L3, R3 all at the same time.
```

# **If it does not immediately work**

```
Press L1, find what button # glows. Copy the autofire settings from my L1 into it
Press L3, find what button # glows. Copy the autofire settings from my L3 into it
Press R3, find what button # glows. Copy the autofire settings from my R3 into it
Reset the autofire settings for your buttons that aren't L1, L3, R3.
```

```
"Options" tab at top > "Button Mapping"
Find your L3 on left column, select it, in the first dropdown menu pick your L1
Find your R3 on left column, select it, in the first dropdown menu pick your L1
Now pressing L1 will make L1, L3, R3 all glow at the same time.
Pressing L3 and R3 will do nothing, L1 triggers them only
```

# **Benefits**

```
Hold L1 for speedglitch
DPAD works as normal
Enjoy
```

#4 [LEARNING] Basic Glitches

# Inventory glitch

```
SELECT..... SELECT x2 > flick ANALOG
```

Pass through death barriers, stall cutscenes

# Level looping

```
Inventory glitch > hold CIRCLE + DIRECTION > close invent to begin moving
```

Fall from the sky to whatever position you desire, provided you can find a setup to make your way there

### Info about level looping

```
Once falling you can switch to DPAD for more precision
```

```
It's possible to get a fast loop, that takes half the time of a regular loop. This happens when you hit the bottom of the level in certain ways/places (for example in Haunted Ruins you can hit the demon room door trigger mid-loop).
```

# Knockback dash

```
Wield club > hold DIRECTION into wall > Press SQUARE and exactly 2 frames later press OPPOSITE DIRECTION + TRIANGLE + CIRCLE all at the same time
```

Big movement speed increase. Necessary for dragon gate skip (DGS) in The Gallows Gauntlet

### Info about knockback dash

```
Practice getting knockbacks on walls first:
In The Gallows Gauntlet go immediately LEFT at the start
ANALOG
Hold LEFT into wall, put a finger on SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE
Press SQUARE and exactly 2 frames later press opposite direction (RIGHT) + TRIANGLE + CIRCLE all at the same time
If done correctly you will hit the right wall
```

# Speedglitch

```
Flick ANALOG repeatedly with a specific rhythm
```

Move faster. Used until you get the dash. We use autofire to help with this trick

#5 [RUN GUIDE] MediEvil - Any%

# An updated and much more detailed version of this guide is available here:

https://medievil.wiki/w/Speedrunning:MediEvil_(1998)_Any%25

# Info

```
Read 'Basic glitches' first to learn the main glitches.
Follow the [SETUP] guides to have the correct emulator and autofire for the speedglitch
```

# The Hilltop Mausoleum

```
1 second save - break spikes with club. Flipping the camera at green rune area is not faster
QUIT OUT
See video for timing
```

# Return to the Graveyard

```
Boss - UPRIGHT a little bit, jump hit, mash X as fast as you can
Open pause menu when gate is open enough to be a doorway
Close pause menu after 1 or 2 seconds
```

# The Enchanted Earth

### LOOP (Easy)

```

DPAD
Wait until pillar points are very slight past halfway between topleft and bottom right cloud
Close invent at blue wall (CRUCIAL)
RIGHT
UPRIGHT when you face upright
```

### LOOP (Hard) (7s faster)

```

See video for reference
DPAD
Wait until the platform covers good amount of the right cloud
Dash UP off
Close invent quickly
Use your timer to count to 6 from when you pass the ground, include the current second
Hit ground = 1... to 6.5
Desynced = 1... to 6
You should land 11 seconds after ground disappears

```

# Pools of the Ancient Dead

```
Fast as possible invent glitch
Use helmet when you see red skull
Straight line from corner of platform
```

# The Lake

```
UPRIGHT dash jump at start
Cut the corner on left turn
Smallest first jump on exit
```

# The Crystal Caves

### LOOP

```

ANALOG then DPAD
Loop from RIGHT of spawn
Close invent on 4th arrow flash
1 dash UPRIGHT
Switch to DPAD UPRIGHT
When you see the exit ledge stabilise, DOWN
When the screen shakes, RIGHT to straighten the crystal platform
UP
Go a little RIGHT of straight (Tap UPRIGHT UP etc) to hit exit directly
```

# The Gallows Gauntlet

```
RUNE SMUGGLE
Best setup seems to be:
2 memory cards enabled
Existing save file on memory card 1
As soon as save successful appears you can quit (NOT BEFORE)
```

```
FIRST CLIP (INCONSISTENT):
DPAD
Lure mummy
Turn camera around
Hold RIGHT into corner of gate
Keep jumping at full height. Dashes don't help
The mummy will push you through (this is the inconsistency)
Tapping R2 once if you're not getting it can make it work

```

```
KNOCKBACK THROUGH GATE
Horizontal gate
Direction feels like DOWNRIGHT, input display says it's more RIGHT
Make sure your analog flick is PROPER, that's the key
UPRIGHT after stepping on pressure plate

```

```
DGS
ANALOG
Hold UPLEFT, get stuck at invisible wall
SQUARE, 2 frames later TRIANGLE CIRCLE + DOWN (Slightly DOWNRIGHT
```

```
Do not rush the jump. Run into the wall for a moment and focus on the inputs you must press
If you fail getting stuck on invisible wall, run away, stop, and go back to the wall with UPLEFT again
```

# The Haunted Ruins

```
LOOP 1
Run straight UP with DPAD at start of level to arrive in exact spot
Analog then DPAD
When you run off it must be EXACTLY straight, no curving
UP - mash 9 dashes (Dash as fast as possible. The speed that the dashes come through is key)
Stumbling on edge does not affect results
If you miss the halfloop, hold UPLEFT

```

```
LOOP 2 (Old method)
Stumble up, then stumble right
Analog then DPAD
Jump off right
9 DOwN
when castle vanishes
1 LEFT (crucial to hold LEFT for the proper amount of time)
5 UPLEFT
```

```
LOOP 2 (New method)
Dash into wall
Sidestep up, stumble
Invent ANALOG run off
9 DOWN
Instantly when you see the castle:
2 LEFT, switch to UPLEFT at correct time and continue to spam
Slight taps LEFT can get you to land on the good mountain (be careful)
```

```
Movement after lever before catapult is biased towards left
```

# The Ghost Ship

```
LOOP
Dash UPRIGHT at start of level to not hit wall, switch to DPAD
Run DOWNRIGHT to pillar
DPAD
Dash jump off UPRIGHT
RIGHT when railing touches top of screen = guaranteed direct land on exit
On second star flash, use timer to count and wait 2 seconds (see video)
Hold DOWNRIGHT for 7 and a bit seconds
Hold RIGHT
```

# The Time Device

```
LOOP
Hold select before level starts
Dash jump off RIGHT
ANALOG
Hold UPRIGHT until track stabilises
Hold DOWNLEFT to straighten the track
QUIT OUT (1s timesave)
Use music as reference (see video) - 1 TWO! 3 1 (THREE is safer)
Open pause and quit
```

# Zarok's Lair

```
Hold DOWNRIGHT after room entry
You do not have to take the shield
```

```
Soldier despawn
See video reference
Inventory glitch into cutscene
Close invent very quickly at correct time
Best method seems to be stand and hope the fight goes well
The crucial thing to get a fast fight is the closing of invent timing and speed during the cutscene
Cross other half of room to spawn soldiers ONLY after battle is won
```

```
Kardok skip
Stand next to last soldier
Camera locks on to you, mash select (about 8 times)
50% chance of either outcome:
If he's behind door = success, close invent as late as possible in the cutscene
Empty door = fail, cancel invent immediately
Run LEFT
Kardok moves in a repeating diagonal pattern
```

```
If you failed skip:
Stand against the wall to help with accuracy (move away before his 7th swing or he runs away)
Step forward to him and keep tapping up to stay in contact
Keep your aim exactly focused on him

```

```
Zarok
13 second zarok is the best possible
No shield use
Keep running away and stopping to bait vulnerability
Don't get too close to him, don't go too far away
Keep the camera straight
Focus on mashing attacks and expect him to go vulnerable
Control the fight

```
