If I may be frank. You are a sex pistol.

Thats what im sayin, bud

There a reason absolutely no-one seems to run the PAL version of the game?

It's really really slow

whats a fusion

It's a thing where Jumpyluff tries desperately hard to be funny

hi i am wanting to start speed running this but i am wondering about the fps that is allowed to be used, does anyone know what fps it should be set at for this speed run, also is epsxe.v1.6.0 is ok.

You can use any epsxe version that is 1.8 or lower and the game runs at normal 60fps (NTSC-U)

So, I'm having trouble running the game on ePSXe versions lower than 2.0. The program instantly stops responding.

Why is it that 1.8 or lower is required?

@Imakuni: ePSXe > 1.8 emulates lag differently and gives you a time advantage so to speak.

Which PSX Bios do you use and which plugins? Maybe the error is easy to fix.

Sry for the late reply.

For the Bios, I've tried both SCPH1001 and SCPH7502. For the GPU plugins, I've tried both OpenGL2 and D3D plugins, they all fail on both my AMD iGPU and Nvidia card on 2 separate PCs.

Everything else was whatever the default was.

For ePSEX 1.95 and below, it crashes as soon as I tell the ISO to run. For 2.0 onwards, it just plain works, regardless of Bios or GPU plugin choice.

Are the rules for NG+ out of date or something? I mean, it states "Any unobtainable cards (Gate Guardian, Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, etc.) are forbidden.", but WR has a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon in the first hand.

Considering the fact that I have never in my life heard of "OpenEmu" I'm gonna have to go with not allowing it. Unless someone can show me something.

Kind of late in response to it, but for the New Game+ rules in that case, shouldn't the rules specify that those cards are allowed in the Japanese version? As it is, the rules strictly forbid use of those cards, while all the decent runs use them.

And why is it that 100% requires the entire run to be livestreamed? That seems both absurd and arbitrary. The only possible reason I could think of would be that it would make it a bit harder to cheat, but even that's not valid, because if someone wanted to cheat a run together, that rule would be a minor inconvenience at best to get around. Also the rule does make it seem like if your stream drops at all at any point during the 100+ hour run it would be invalid because the whole thing wouldn't be live anymore.

"Rules for the Pocketstation:

Only one Pocketstation can be used in the run. You can't use the following cards: #721 Dark Magic Ritual & #722 Magician of Black Chaos."

That is a quote from the ruleset for NG+ (If you're unaware pocketstation is JP exclusive)

As for the 100% thing, I can happily agree that it's an arbitrary requirement, but the community was happy with it and it limits the possibility of cheating being done. I think you should realise how arbitrary 100% is for fm to begin with.

Hint for 100%. Nobody is going to watch the whole thing if it's like a 3 digit hour run. I guess nobody will realize that some minutes are not on twitch because your stream went down. However most of your run should be streamed so everyone could at least technically comprehend how your run went and when you got the important card drops. That's at least how I understood the rule.

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place but I'll ask anyway. I want to get into speedrunning this game (Any% NCD Manipless) and have downloaded and set up ePSXe (1.8 like the leaderboards ask for) but I cant seem to get my splits to work along side the emulator. Basicaly whenever I click on my splits ( I use LiveSplit) is stops any input from my controller reaching the emulator until I click on the window for the emulator again.

Theres probably an easy solution to this that I just cant find but it is getting pretty annoying tbh.

Thanks in advance for your help

If I was to do an Any% NG+ run with the pocketstaion, are dupes allowed? I mean, can we say, get a normally unobtainable card from the Pocketstation and then dupe it then start an NG+ run with duped, otherwise unobtainable cards? Or would we be limited to 1 of each duped card as would be normally obtainable with one Pocketstation?

You can have as many as you want.

Hey, I'm looking to speedrun this game. The first category I want to attempt is New Game+ Any%

I get that you can't use cards that can't be obtained. However, is it okay to use cheatcodes, trading, etc to obtain every card; just to build the deck from the legal cards allowed? Or do I have to get everything the hard way? I assume even if that is allowed, I can't use the pocketstation. Unless, maybe, there is someway to show the cards you have were obtained from it, and only use those cards. I hope to hear from someone soon.

Also, if anyone else wanted to do so. What if there was a Cheatcode%? Rather, a New Game+ where you say screw the rules, and have every card that is possible out of the 722, even the normally unattainable ones? Could be a fun miscellaneous category to add, if other runners were interested in that.
