welcome to the site and good luck on your runs!

Perhaps find a friend who also likes the game to talk to you while you run it. If there is at least one person talking in chat it tends to make it so people are more likely to stay and watch.

yay for chickens not dying young!

Also as a side note, I didn't pretend like I knew the entire story either, I guess I should have prefaced my remark with "As an outsider who doesn't know anyone here personally or never heard of UKSM until a week ago"... I simply observe and comment on my observations. I listen, and just ask others to listen too. This wasn't a thread about a call to action, nor game submissions, ideas about what charity to host, what it would be called, when it would be, what platforms to use, themes, none of that... This thread was about if the idea was something people wanted, and if they wanted it enough to possibly try to volunteer.

As an onlooker looking at this, both FurryWultz and BrokeSatan both had thoughts on this premise in their original responses without insulting the OP. It's just called respectful discussion.

UselessBrit - "I understand that it was a pain in the ass that I dropped out last minute, but life happens. I donated multiple times during the marathon as a way to say I was sorry and to support the event. "

FactoriesFarAway - "You didn't even show up in chat or donate."

I think you misread something buddy. Unless you are refering to BrokeSatan instead, in which case, personal matters could mean anything from funerals, to hangovers, to school, to all sorts of things that would prevent someone from donating or remembering to donate during an event.

Please stop being so negative and ask for people's full sides of the story first. Or listen to their side if they already said it.

I'm really liking this! great for when you are just starting to learn a run and need alot of notes!

Would like to resize the text window so I could incorporate it into a stream layout easier, but regardless it works great!

What language was this coded in? Would love to help out! I'm a budding UI/UX designer and developer and wouldn't mind putting a few hours into making this better!

ZSNES seems to be banned for speedrunning but Project64 v1.7 is good. (no mention of 1.6, i suggest upgrading) Look to see which SNES emus are commonly used for the games you want to run

i think the question was about facecam... seems like gameplay and timer would stay intact but only 10 minutes of facecam

What you need to do is have Resource Monitor open when you run it. Make for goddamn sure it does auto run on startup. If it gives you problems, uninstall it. no problems should persist after a clean reboot unless it's malware.

One of the mods for that game is Gyoo. You should talk to them, they are a Full mod (meaning website-wide mod) so they should be relatively active. Ask in the game-specific forums. https://www.speedrun.com/pso_ep3/forum

if no one responds within a week or so, then try and get in contact with Gyoo directly and ask about it. They should have contact links under their name like you do.

Welcome to the website and good luck on your runs!!

EDIT: Also at the time of this edit, Gyoo was online 2 hours ago. So you should be able to reach them since they are active.

risky can have a few definitions

like, risky because of malware? then you just need to not be stupid as to where you download them. risky because of crashing your system? then you need to read forums to see if others with your OS experience higher crash rates.

make sure you check RAM and CPU consumption to make sure you aren't running too many things at once.

Generally speaking Linux can be faster than windows at an OS level, but this is rarely a distinguishing feature between the two. In my experience, only the tech world seems to run Linux(there are exceptions), so for your everyday consumer, Windows is the norm. So most software for average consumers is specifically targeted at Windows users. Note PC games, Windows support will come out first for indie games, then Mac, then Linux. So unless the people who coded the emulator started with the Mac or Linux version first, the Windows version should be the most stable

Alright! It's Saturday morning! (barely. 11:34am here. XD)

I finally figured out the glitch for the game I'm trying to run and I think it will take alot of grinding to make it consistent (it's timing window is insane) but it exists!!! I finished my notes for my game and I'm hoping that by tweaking and refining them, I'll build up the endurance to do a full run of my game!

I just replicated it on accident in a different level. Didn't record it being triggered but managed to record it working for a bit... If this is in multiple levels it is DEFINITELY worth making a TAS decontruction like you mention. Thanks for the idea!!!

you are better off asking in the TMNT 4 TIT forum https://www.speedrun.com/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_IV_Turtles_in_Time/forum

you are talking about a combination of speed and score into 1 leaderboard with speed taking precedence?

what about astronauts on the international space station?

So what's happening to the worker before I click the logs is that he's heading back to the tent. they do that after waiting for a short time. I just recorded what it would look like if i hadn't clicked the logs during his run back.

Via going frame by frame through both recordings, I discovered that I somehow clicked the logs at the same time as when he was supposed to turn that corner. And i think that's what did it. But that would mean it's a basically frame perfect trick. (problem is that the game runs at 96-98 fps and i can only record at 30 so it's hard to know if it was actually the same frame or not)

i wish i recorded the time i replicated it after that.. like literally the first time I tried to recreate it I did... but not since.

so just keep trying to replicate it basically? until I figure it out?

So since I joined SRC forums 6 days ago, I've read alot of negativity displayed on the boards, negativity and drama. I read back about a month or so on each of the general boards except introductions(which seems abundantly positive). By no means was it exclusively negative, but there's been more of it than there has any right to be.

So I'd like to start a weekly post on Saturdays where people can share positive moments they've had in the past week and just feel good about speedrunning. There is always a silver lining when you search hard enough. Feel free to post anything positive that's happened for you. (relevance to speedrunning not needed)

Mine is:

I've started routing the first game I want to speedrun (Ballad of Solar) and I've already found a time saving glitch! Woohoo!

You can contact the mods for the SH1 boards and either request a new category to submit it for, or you can do a different run under one of the current categories. Make sure you read the rules for each category carefully!
