I'm trying to speedrun the game Stuntman (PS2), and it's really difficult. Today I finally got a good run to submit, but when I went to check the video footage, there was no sound! I think it has something to do with my home theater and HDMI-ARC. The system was muted most of the time because I'm tired of listening the director calling "CUT! TOO SLOW!", it was driving me nuts!
I record my video using an USB HDMI capture card and I also film the screen of the TV with a webcam while I'm playing. And there is a timer on the screen aswell. Just the sound bugged.
Is my run valid to submit? It took me a LOT of patience and effort to get the run going. I don't want to lose it.
@Pigouni46 You have to check the rules for each game. Some allows without a video proof, most don't.

Or you can use your phone to film the screen.
I was going to post about that yesterday, but got really tired and went to bed early.
For those who don't know, the Xbox 360 version got recompiled to run on PC. It's the closest we get from an oficial port.

See here how the real arcade was and compare:
I don't remember much of Daytona USA 2 on the arcades as I only played a few times before it was retired. But the way the CPU cars behave in the supermodel emulator compared to the official ports inside the Yakuza games is very different. I noticed that the CPU in supermodel race almost on rails, but in the official port they try to block you, they change lines all the time, they ram the back of your car... I noticed that supermodel does not do any of that, and that only shows how some emulators are very inacurate. I was trying to do a run on supermodel and got very disapointed. I vaguely remember the real arcade being very much like the official port and much less like the supermodel emulator.
I even watched some of the runs here and they are very much not like the real hardware at all. I thought I was imagining things, but I saw a run on youtube with the real arcade, and that oppened my eyes to how inacurate supermodel is.
Well, at least supermodel suports wheels very well and has widescreen support.
There are bots reported on the first page of this thread from 3 years ago that are still registered and not banned. I thought this thread was to ban the bots from the site.
I don't know you, but I'm glad you're OK now :)
My runs for this game has been verified very quickly, so I thank the mods for that.
I'm new to the speedrun community and all my runs were already being uploaded to Youtube.
I wish you good luck finding new folks to be mods here, if it's really needed.
Hey, @Risenth take a look at this: https://www.thegamer.com/like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-lad-mini-games-location-complete-list/
In the new Yakuza game, now we have both Daytona USA 2 versions (BotE and PE).
Daytona USA and Sega Rally 1995 both are very short runs.
Just up ahead is the village. We'll stay and watch the car. Don't want to get any parking tickets. Good luck.
What is a bump? A miserable little pile of messages. But enough talk! HAVE AT YOU!
I touch grass, but with gloves on. Other than that, it's music all day.
I'm new to the community, so my first run it's still pending. My first verified run is this one.

Last time mirdo was seen online was almost two weeks ago. Is that normal? The other moderator was last seen two years ago, so he’s definitely not coming back. I just don't know if people visit the forums often, like you do, for example, ViperUK.
I’ve submitted 3 runs of the game and am patiently waiting for verification. I just don't know how things work around here with games that aren’t so popular.
