Hi, fellows! Just got a notification that my MG speedrun world record has been beaten. Great job, Dimazn1, nicely done!!! I've looked the speedrun through very attentively and seems like I've got some questions...not to the speedruner, but to the verification) Don't think that I'm trying to get back the leadership (God, no), I just want to propose some rearrangements in the process of verification itself.
First of all there definitely should be a distinction between PS1, PC and, as we are having now, PC RUSSIAN version of the game and therefore this versions should have their own prize places. I can't tell for the whole game as I haven't done any deep analysis yet, but the main distinctive feature of PC and PC RUSSIAN version is the duration of audio messages. For example, the 2nd message from Judith Harroway in Recycle Room is 5 seconds shorter in Russian, than it is in English. The longest message to Karne in Rainbow Room is even 30 seconds shorter in Russian, than in English, which puts the speedruners in unequal conditions. I'm from russian-speaking country and also have the PC Russian version of the game, but used common european version just to be more fair.
Secondly, is it proper to become a moderator, verify yourself and count the speedrun? It's just a question, nothing personal)))
And finally, as I'm preparing another MG speedrun and don't want it to be denied, I need some help with RivaTuner from those who managed to use it during playthrough recording. The game just won't start as far as RivaTuner is activated.
Thanks for your time and let me know if there are any changes accepted afterwards!)
I see that the problem is somehow connected with ISO files, but the question is: why not just install the full game on your PC so that you can play without a disk image? I've got the game downloaded from the internet, it was also in ISO, I mounted it, did the full installation and then deleted the disk image. Now I have the full game in a separate folder with launcher and it works properly. I hold .rar of the game just in case...If you want to try my version just let me know.
