European UnionIf anyone is interested in doing speedruns of ROM hacks of this game (to be found, e.g., here) there now is a leaderboard dedicated to them: click here or click on "ROM Hacks" in the navigation bar on the left. Have fun everyone!
Hey! Because we had a handful of new PoP1 runners lately who are sadly not in the Prince of Persia Discord server - I thought I'd additionally announce here that submissions for the Prince of Persia Marathon 2018 are open for another week! So if you're interesting in showing off one of the ports for this game, feel free to submit a run to the marathon here and also join the PoP discord for easier communication!
This is a community project which started in January and was finished in July of 2018. Segment contributors were: @7eraser7 @Asco @epicdudeguy @GrizzzzBear @tocaloni1 @Vynneve
This project was first revealed live at ESA Summer 2018. Watch the VOD (with chat) here:
As this seems to not be a thing so far, there now exists a Daedalic Speedrun Discord! Here the link for anyone who cares enough to join: https://discord.gg/YVRZ2ju
Since this run is not on the board yet I guessed I point out that epicdudeguy ran this at Hekathon 2018 and got a 28:26
By pure chance I just saw that the game TG16 version of the original Prince of Persia got added to the site roughly 5 months ago. As one of the moderators of the Prince of Persia series page however, I have to ask why we were not contacted by the site staff when this request came in. It's basically our only purpose to manage and add games related to the game series we're assigned to.
Something similar happened around a year ago when someone requested the Prince of Persia mobile games (originally requested as Prince of Persia: Revelations by Gustavo.Predador), which we luckily saw right after it got added to the site and could handle, respectively integrate into the series right away due to the help of the former full mods Gyoo and ROMaster2. By all due respect - things like this on one hand make me question why there are series mods in the first place and on the other hand, result in extra work for us as well as for the staff (e.g. integrating the game into the series, bringing the game page up to series standards etc.) eventually anyways.
You first have to download and unpack "RADTools" from here or directly from the radgametools website. Then you open radvideo.exe, go to the T2T video folder (.bik files) and select a file.
- By double clicking the file, you can watch it.
- By clicking on "File info", another window with all relevant infos regarding the selected file will open. For timing purposes, you need the number of frames and divide it by the Frames per Second number (usually 29.97) to know how long the respective movie is in seconds.
This is useful if you don't play on PC but you still want to know what your time is according to the leaderboard timing (without movie cutscenes, which also includes game over screens, loading screens, upgrade screens, ...).
Note: Unlike in the Warrior Within .bik guide, you don't need NovaExtractor for the T2T .bik files.
Edit: Alternatively, you can use this cutscene info spreadsheet which contains all relevant information.
You first have to download and unpack "NovaExtractor" and "RADTools" from here. The rest is explained in this video. Note that you have to start NovaExtractor as admin for the extracted video files to show up in the folder you selected.
What to do: Open radvideo.exe, go to the folder with the extracted .bik files and select a file. • By double clicking the file, you can watch it. • By clicking on "File info", another window with all relevant infos regarding the selected file will open.

This one is for the full mods/staff I guess, if I suspect two accounts on this site to be owned by the same person, is there someway to communicate that so a full mod can look into that? Is there maybe a thread for that already? Or is that maybe (a) not relevant or (b) not against the site rules? (since it's "just" kind of a secondary account and not ban evasion). Just curious, thanks in advance :)
Hey! I'm running the german PS2 version for this game and as you see here , the "concept" of the game is completely different compared to the (NTSC) runs on the board. That's why it would be nice to have a Any% PS2 category (since the PC version, at least the one I know, is different from this again, see here ; the at least german PS1 is in the same style aswell, click here )
So do you think it's better to request a completely new game for this or would seperate categories for PAL on this board make more sense to you? Greetings, tocaloni1
Edit: found the british version, so WWTBAM 2nd edition PAL seems to be one game regardless of language.
The Prince of Persia Community (including me) will hold a marathon for PoP games on 21-23 Oct '16 and for the sake of attention and having a central organisation point, a page for that marathon would be cool. Thanks in advance :)
I saw that you can set games as pre-releases (betas) of other games like the Crash Bandicoot Beta does:
I tried to do this for the Beta of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time aswell ( http://www.speedrun.com/pop_sot_beta ), but the pre-release-option is greyed out and I can't click on it (as can be seen here)
Hope, someone can help me with that :)
