AntarcticaMario and Zelda (and Im sure a few others) are two series that will most likely never need to gain mods via this thread.
The Light would be using WSplit instead of Livesplit ;)
Shitposting.
(real answer: In terms of other hobbies, I've always been an avid runner and Ive been studying programming since I was 14 so Im always messing with/improving myself there).
Its the "I OWN you, computer" mode.
Right click on the application and select "Run as Administrator". Then enter your password.
Hmm, if you're saving them Im not sure why they're not there/you're not able to re-open them. That is definitely a strange situation.
As for the background, my mistake for not understanding at first. To get it "see through", that's in your broadcasting software, not the Livesplit. If your Livesplit background is solid black, you can go into your broadcasting software and set the color key for Livesplit to black. Right click on Livesplit, go to the settings/properties, activate color key and then set it to black. This should make it transparent.
This may be a silly question, but are you remembering to save your splits after you finish a run? When you finish a run prior to closing Livesplit, you should right click on it and hit "save splits". Then it will prompt you to enter a name for the splits (if its the first time you used those splits) and pick where to save them. Once that's done, the splits will be saved like any old document on your computer.
Every time you do a run of a different game/category, you'll create new splits for that and then save them. Then you can just right click and "open" and set of splits you want to. After finishing a run, always remember to save your new splits.
As for the no background, you should just be able to go and edit the layout. Click on the button that says "Layout Settings". Once there, click on the "splits" tab and you can edit the splits to have just a solid background color of all black. To remove the color on the separators between the splits, you can change those to all black in the "layout" tab. You can continue to mess around in there to configure your Livesplit layout however you want to (it's highly customizable, take some time to poke around and see what you like).
As always, remember to save your settings so it persists across restarting Livesplit.
Hope that helps.
There should be an option in Livesplit that is something like "split delay" or something along those lines.
Set that value to 1.2 seconds. Then, whenever you hit your split key, Livesplit will wait that amount of time before actually splitting. That should fix your issue.
(idk the exact name of what to set, I don't use Livesplit myself so maybe someone else can mention it).
30Cents, you're actually incorrect.
He is a former speedrunner and used to hold a WR in OOT's.
Months ago he "deleted his former self" and re-branded himself as Apollo Legend. So, actually, he does know what he is talking about and he has a decent background in the speedrunning community.
Like/agree with his points or not, he does in fact have a history with speedrunning.
Depends on the game because some games maybe allow it and others may not (for varying reasons).
Ask in the forums for that game and they can give you an accurate answer.
if your Internet connection is bad, you can use the broadcasting program to local record and then upload the video to YouTube instead of livestreaming.
Outside of OBS and XSplit, there really aren't any major programs for streaming (or at least not any large, well supported/updated ones)
For my personal preference, I would choose XSplit.
I mean, regardless of the timer you're using, you should just be able to capture it with whatever broadcasting software you're using (which if you're on Mac I'm assuming is OBS).
Once you capture it (just add it as a source, select it's region on the screen, however you want to capture it) you can just place it wherever you like in your OBS scene and mess with the size or w/e you want.
Any timer is valid to use, I use WSplit myself.
SDA timing just means that timing starts when you gain control of the character end ends when you lose control of the character in your game. Any timer supports SDA timing as long as you abide by those rules for starting and stopping.
As a user of GV-USB2, I highly recommend it. Works great for PS2, probably one of the best, if not the best, SD cap card out there imo.
Just a forewarning, installation of the drivers can be a little wonky because they are in Japanese, but its not that hard to figure out.
Just one more thing to add on to that - as a result of this all of the current runs will have to be re-timed, so given the amount of runs for these games, please give the mods some time to accomplish this.
Just don't want to see people responding here or making new threads tomorrow or something going "Do I have to update my own time or when will my time be updated?" or anything like that.
For Pocket Monsters, there doesn't seem to be a very large community of runners for them (at least on here, I'm not sure about any other sites out there). The current LB for those games only has 2 games and one of them doesn't even have any runs for it http://www.speedrun.com/pocketmonsters
The main Pokemon series can be found here http://www.speedrun.com/pokemon and they don't have any JP versions on their LBs because Pokemon has a history of being done on the English versions (aside from the odd case of Pocket Monsters Stadium).
That being said, if you want to run more Pocket Monster games, then maybe you can work with the existing moderator on the Pocket Monster LBs to get more games added. Or you yourself can request to become a moderator for those LBs. That way any runs you want to do can be added appropriately.
As of right now I don't think a definitive decision had been made (but it does look to be leaning one way). Unfortunately this discussion got swept aside when the RoD changes came up so this lost some traction in the meantime and hasn't been fully followed up on.
I'll bring it up in the morning to the mods and see if this can be revisited (before the topic gets completely forgotten about) to make sure that we decide on whether or not this change will be implemented.
