Streaming and Emulation
4 years ago
Virginia, USA

Hi all! I was inspired by the SGDQ run that Glitcheress did, and I was wondering how to get started. I have a copy of the game from way back, but I figured emulation would be a much easier way to do streaming. Is there a guide or any advice for getting started with this game?

Well, I would recommend looking into routes for each stage. Also, brace your thumbs, it's gonna get rocky

Hey, it's cool to see someone interested in running this game :D unfortunately we don't have a guide video or a tutorial written up, but you can join us in the katamari speedrun discord https://discord.gg/tfQEskB where we have a WLK channel. I'd recommend running on console if you can. Composite capture cards can be pretty cheap, an I-o Data GV-USB2 is about $35 on amazon (it's what i use) and there is a good guide online for how to set it up for streaming.

This game does not work very well on emulators. I don't think we've explicitly banned it, but that's because no one has done any serious runs on it. I'm pretty sure that you'd be at a disadvantage compared to console if you tried running on that. Since you have a copy of the game I'd recommend getting a capture card, they're super cheap since HD ones are more popular these days.

I know its been 2 years but if you want to run this and have to play on emulator then on PCSX2 i would recommend using the Balanced Pre-Set + the speedhack that is rec for processors with 3+ cores, I have a very shitty PC and that keeps it around 60 FPS. The only issue I have is with ALAP 5 but the lag only becomes unavoidable after 500m
