Thanks for watching, friend.

I think it's because of the policeman's shot (the one at 8:51 minute).

Have you seen how the shot curves upward?

When that happens,

the nearest hostage just dissapear. I suppose the hostage I grabbed seconds before didn't disappear completely, so he had respawned.

This already happened to me in level 5-1 room 1. The police fill the screen with shots and the hostage simply disappears, but if I eliminate them all and go back, the hostage reappears, only in a different position.

I don't know. Maybe if I hadn't grabbed the hostage at 9:16, I would have been able to finish the level normally.

I'm not asking for the cause or asking for help, I just wanted you to see it because it seemed absurdly strange to me.

The site won't let me upload the video no matter what I do, so I'll tell you to search for it on YouTube. You can find it at: "How a very strange bug just ruined my speedrun (Shadow Dancer Level 3 NoSEB)"

Just look

The bug started around 8:51 (I think).

My theory is that I grabbed an extra hostage that didn't exist, so the game subtracted -1 from the already zero value, bringing it up to 255 (meaning the game detects I'm missing too many hostages and therefore won't let me finish the level).

My speedrun was going pretty well (from my point of view, obviously) but I guess sometimes I just don't have good luck, haha

Hi. I don't speak english so i'm sorry if i cannot express like i want.

I'm interesed in this game. I want practice and do some decent run in hard difficulty (no shurikens)

But i'm preffer use Kega fusion instead BizHawk, because my pc is basically a potatoe and usually have a little input lag.

Is this allowed? i can use Kega fusion? Is there a particular version I should use?

Thanks.
