Hey everyone,

After over a decade of dreaming for it, a patch has FINALLY been made to remove Cutscenes in both the English and Japanese versions! The moderators and community unanimously agreed to add categories for this new Cutscene Remover patch, and we are now accepting submissions!

This patch works on both PS2 Console with Disc as well as Emulator.

This patch was created by sh2_luck, and skips nearly every cutscene in the game automatically, without the need to enter a pause menu to skip the scene. The only cutscenes that are still unskippable are Genie Jafar's, Beast meeting with Belle, 100 Acre Wood's Book closing after the final page, and the classic unskippable cutscene from 1.5 HD after Behemoth.

A poll was hosted in the Kingdom Hearts Speedrun discord on whether or not the intro FMV should be skippable as well, and 70% of the 20 voters voted in favor of also making the Intro FMV Skippable, so this will be skipped as well.

Below is a tutorial for installing and using the Cutscene Remover patch.

The files can be found in the description of the video as well as the "Resources" tab on the leaderboard page under "Patches".

Feel free to contact me with any issues or questions, and have fun running!
