I can't make a video.

If I can't make a video, what is the bare minimum of evidence I need for both single levels and the full game? Also, the only way I can time myself is with my phone. I know this is a pretty inactive community, but I really want to start speedrunning Sarge's Heroes.

Considering that every run of this game has a video I guess the bare minimum would probably splits but that's by a long shot I for one would not accept the run if its just splits. But if you need help on recording a video I would be gladly to help you.

Yeah, the only recording equipment that I have is my phone...which is what I use to time it. This won't be a problem for single segment I imagine because they tell you the time, but what about the full game?

United States

Yea unfortunately I had to use my phone for my runs, thats why i dont have an entry for the full game. My last full runs that i was doing were averaging just over 40 minutes i believe. I do recall at least 75% of my runs were lost to the bathroom or riff levels (3 and 4). Things get pretty sketchy there lol.

Ive been wanting to get a capture card or something, but life makes buying other things more important.

I feel your pain bro, lol

EDIT: If i recall, the accepted time for single levels is what is displayed at the Mission Complete screen. For the whole game though, I guess you would need to go off of the video if theres no other way to time it.

If more runs appear for single levels, would we start measuring the times more closely, or have people tie if you get the same time on-screen?

Yeah, I can obviously use my phone, but I need something to make it stay there and record it. Can you give me any ideas on something I could use to hold it?

I seriously want to speedrun this game.

Try leaning it against something or putting it between two books to prop it at the right angle.

Honestly, phone recordings are just fine. Obviously they're not the best but if we can see what's going on, it doesn't need to be. It's be nicer if you could do post processing and put splits over the video though. It'd help mods verify and viewers watch and it's just all around nicer. Not necessary IMO, just food for thought ;)

Is there a way to mute a video? Also how do I get a URL to link it to here?

Upload it to youtube. As for muting, there are many ways but idk what tools you have at your disposal
