Hey there. I found out that there is an autosplitter available (Livesplit told me so) made by eKo, but somehow it doesnt work for me. I'm playing on Gambatte r649 and in the readme of the autosplitter it says that it should be compatible with Gambatte.

Does it work for someone or could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks :)

This is pure speculation, but maybe you could give this a try. I don't have the autosplitter set up myself, but I just had a quick look at the actual code of it. If I didn't miss anything then it doesn't discriminate between different versions of the game (there's v1.0 and v1.1). Maybe the wram addresses simply don't match up. So as a fist step in troubleshooting, just try the other version of the game. If that doesn't fix the issue and nobody else has a good idea, I'll try it out myself and see what's going on.

Thanks buddy, I‘ll try this out tonight when I get home and let you know the results!

Seems not to work... I tried both, the v1.0 and v1.1 version. Is there anything else I have to do? I open the emulator and livesplit, global hotkeys are enables in livesplit and the autosplitter is (of course) also enabled.

I never used an autosplitter before so I'm not totally sure if there is anything else I have to take care of.

Thanks!

I just tried it with Gambatte-Speedrun (r614) and a v1.0 rom and it worked right out of the box. Here are the steps I took:

1. Add Autosplitter component to the layout (Edit layout -> + -> Control -> Scriptable Autosplitter
2. Activate the script (Edit Splits -> Activate)
3. Save the layout (otherwise you'll have to set it up again each time you start LiveSplit)
4. Start the game (splits should start as soon as you hit Start on the title screen)

Thanks man, it worked! :)

I didn't know you had to add the autosplitter to your layout. I also had to use r614 of Gambatte since it somehow didn't work with r649.

I just stumbled on this and can shed some light.

The issue with this autosplitter is that the memory scan it does is incompatible with r649. It looks like the author just modified one of my scripts, but hasn't bothered to update it. This autosplitter could also easily support other emulators like BGB/Bizhawk, but it looks like he specifically copied the only script of mine that only supports GSR.

Also, adding autosplitters to your layout is fine, but I would generally recommend simply activating them from your split options.
