Thank you!!!!

In speedruns I see people set up a few stationary traps - start the battle - break them down then the boss fight starts. I can never get the skip to work and have to watch the enemies climb the whole screen What am I doing wrong? I'd appreciate the help- thanks!

Hope you wouldn't mind adding this sub-category. I think it could potentially get a decent runner base.

VERRRY good info, but can you speak on the PSX emulator instead of the SNES one? Im doing the crappy version. Thanks though!

Ok...sorry to be a bother. Would you mind me running it on pstv instead? I don't particary need to...just don't know which emulator would be most accepted. Want to do this legit. I hear pstv is disallowed for cross so if you don't want a pstv run would you mind suggesting a legit emulator? I think I currently have epsxe loaded up. Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately I DO mean trigger. Any fans about bizhawk or medafen you can point me to? A cursory try at hawk got me nothing usable. Thanks

I want to make sure the emu stays stable and playable and is accurate to how the game would run on consile. Does the emulator you suggested do That? Most importantly I need it to be legitimately accurate for speedrunning timing purposes

Im sorry if theres a way to find this or a knowledge base on here somewhere, but I just wanted some info on what the most ideal emulator would be to run a psx game. If it matters im running Chrono Trigger (yes I own it) and plan on it being a looong run so I just want to make sure I'm running it on a satisfactory emulator. I kinda forget which ps1 emu Ive used most often, but figured someone here could let me know my best option. thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! I would agree with all that.

There's nothing in it. Is that the procedure? Seems a lot less likely to be seen that way

I was excited to play through this FF7 so I was researching the only run on the site. Unfortunately it's not really a run.

I haven't gone through the whole thing, but the most obvious clear splice I can point out right now is at 1:24:35; music cuts, they reappear 2-3 tiles away from where they were and they are MANY levels higher and have a LOT more items than they had a few seconds prior. If you look at the youtube comments someone asked the player directly about said splice and they admit they are using cheats/hacks. (They also encourage the use in Spanish in another comment).

I don't mind if people want to run games this way, but this is not a valid speedrun that should be on here LET ALONE listed as a world record.

This is listed as an Any% run described as glitched. It's not a glitched run though - it's a playthrough that uses a hacked version of the game (and almost certainly uses either save states or straight-up spliced video). I believe that's clear if you look at the video and the player's comments.

Sorry to be so intense, but this really irked me. And if I'm proven wrong I'll certainly accept it.

Thanks for your time! I'll be interested to see the ruling!

PS: Just to clarify, I've played through the version mentioned in the rules up to the point of the splice as well and I tried everything like the player does in the scene right before the 'glitch' and can't reproduce it.

Yes sir. I do. I understand it sucks hard...but lol, I'm down.

I'm planning a SS playthrough next month and noticed that PSX isnt even listed. I did a SS playthrough of the PSX FF6 a while ago; just trying to have one out there since the version exists.

Thank You! Appreciate it

Why have you still not answered my question haha. I appreciate the response and all but...

So is easy actually any faster/easier or not? Because I'm not after a crazy run/route, I just want to do a SS playthrough and would like some clarification if possible. Thanks!

Waiting on response of my Episode Gladio run for 18 days - https://www.speedrun.com/Final_Fantasy_XV_Episode_Gladiolus Sole mod only has this 1 run posted and no contact info listed. I'll mod the game, I mod Episode Ignis anyways. On 13 days for my episode Prompto run. - https://www.speedrun.com/Final_Fantasy_XV_Episode_Prompto That sole mod hasn't posted in 2 months. I'll mod that one too.

Is it just more people play normal mode? Or is normal mode actually faster and why? Im seriously considering a run, im probably around an 80% playthrough now of 100 and may just run any% after.

I'm gonna just eventually do a massive run with all of those things since there's no consensus
