Welp, sorry for being dead, I have to admit, I wasn't logging on to speedrun.com for quite a while. Apparently site admins prevented this leaderboard from completely dying by making you a mod and I'm really glad they did that. Anyways, if you ever need something (like help in verification or opinion on something), twitter (@pitperino) is the best way to reach me. You'll get my answer much faster than in a month. (unless I'm busy, swipe the notification for some reason and forget about it) It's great to see MM6 speedrunning is alive 😃 |

Signing up as a restreamer, maybe will be able to help with other stuff too |

Once again, you can't really verify if someone's using any external tools to help himself with the run unless you stand behind his back, so even if you ban it, it's pointless. But ye, sure, using autosplitter/memory monitoring to get a perfect timing in new any% setup isn't legit and if you do it you should feel very bad about it. |

This Ultima Underworld 2 segmented run has any info you might need, I'm using slightly altered route, but glitches and bugs are still the same. Short Driver commentary [partially based on zoton's commentary from GTAMarathon race ;)], this game is in most places self-explanatory I'll update this post someday this week with notes for Thief run, if you REALLY need any info asap, I SHOULD be practicing commentary soon, so just look around my vods. Just keep in mind that even I am not sure how or why some of the tricks work. Their description is burried so deep in the forums that it's close to impossible to find them nowadays. Edit: http://pastebin.com/iNMK6geg Thief notes targetted to potential onsite commentators, but can be used by restreamers too, I guess. |

Clean international, you must have missed some files. Install clean game and see what's missing. |

Same here, looks like something with player model is broken, because game throws the same error when you try to enter player skin setup. |

No need to make a F3 replay, you are using taxi after all. Just set it up using F1 replay with something that's close to boatyard (rockets, grenades). In hundo you'd pass the rampage anyway, so the time of doing rampage should be subtracted. |

I'm pretty sure phonecall would also work for failing the remaining instance. Doesn't look like it's saving a lot of time since CC conveniently leaves you near Film Studio, but it would definitely be useful for any% 7 assets 😛 Btw |

Forum: ESA 2016 Thread: First Round Cuts Started by: flickyflicky (edited: ) |
I got PBs in both Thief and Driver (that one in a race). Driver is Driver, there is lots of RNG involved so I guess the only real way to judge runner's skill level is looking at his gold splits. In my case they are pretty decent compared to Omega's (you should add 1 minute to my sum of best because of lightspeed emulation though). I like to divide Thief runs into two parts when I'm talking about them, pre Mage Towers and bullshit part. First part of the run doesn't contain any hard to execute or RNG-dependent tricks and I'm satisfied with my performance here. However, the second part is a real mess. It mixes hard levels with lots of RNG (Mage Towers keyholing, Lost City jumps, Song of the Caverns guards, Maw of Chaos jumps). I can easily save lots of time over my PB by doing mission "Undercover" intended way instead of wasting time on the least consistent trick in the game. Second part of this run is definitely something I'm going to practice after I'm done with my exams. Can easily optimise that run to 50 minutes flat if I stop playing safe and get consistent with some harder tricks in the bullshit part. I also managed to derust Underworld 2 and got a run surprisingly close to my PB, actually it would have been a new PB if I hadn't got confused near the end. My "average time" for this game is 28:38 with 27 finished runs making it probably the safest run I can offer at the moment. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go back to MM6. There are old new strats that probably make this run as optimised as it can be. I'm going to go for a sub 30 run after I'm done with my exams (May 16th). I won't cry if this run gets cut, because rules are rules and I barely touched this game in the past month. |

Omega loves comparing my live runs to his VODs and I have no reason not to trust him. Everyone who watches me and runs this game agrees that framerate is too high. Here are some excerpts from today's playthrough on XEBRA. [16:24:37] @UltimaOmega07: the bridge seemed ok [16:43:25] @UltimaOmega07: chinatown framerate niceCheats [16:56:20] @UltimaOmega07: i had my pb video running ahead of you [17:13:04] @UltimaOmega07: the part of town after beverly hills runs like piss |

Tested latest XEBRA build, random softlocks are still present (managed to lock the game after first new york cutscene), emulation speed isn't much different from mednafen. In fact, I think they're performing exactly the same, which means game runs faster on emus than on PS2 and if you look at overcooler's run (done one real PS1), it also seems to be running faster than that. In summary, the most accurate PS1 emulators are running faster than real hardware, we may try to experiment with other emulators/plugin settings or just accept the fact that emu runs are going to be about minute faster than other runs. Or just completely ban emulator usage :^ |
Forum: Driver: You Are The Wheelman Thread: Emulators Started by: EwilEwil |
Mednafen apparently behaves in different ways on NTSC and PAL versions. PAL seems to be emulating accurately, but on NTSC you can notice strange performance boosts (especially on day missions in Miami), after 3 attempts I managed to reach and even beat Omega's golds on some missions. I must admit that I was actually playing pretty well, but it still seems to be somewhat wrong. Btw. I remember Omega having some issues with PS3 ~official emulation~ too, which only proves how difficult this game is to emulate. You'd have to ask him for feedback on that though, my memory isn't working very well. |
Forum: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Thread: RC Raider Pickup Instapass Started by: Patrick_Patrick_ |
In 100% run you'll probably want to stay at the airport and do the stunts since you already have the PCJ with you. And if you add time saved from rerouting airport section, this instapass easily saves more time than 1,5 mins 😉 (especially in my route) Here are all 2 SCMs I have, Japanese one is from zoton's converter, international from my Polish retail (which is exactly the same as other international releases) |

It's only useful for 100%. You replace StB instance with RC Raider Pickup, which obviously kills StB instance, so you can't finish the mission. You have to start and do it all over again. |
