TheXTech is an open-source C++ Port of the original SMBX-Code that officially supports Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux, Android and xBSD systems. It can also be compiled for other platforms. You can download it on [GitHub](https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech) or the [WohlSoft Forums](https://wohlsoft.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3677). Version 1.3.4 introduces a Speedrunner Mode that uses the same In-Game Timer as SMBX2, though due to recent changes, **1.3.5.2** is the minimum version required. It comes with 3 Modes: - Mode 1 is for Episodes that are targeted for TheXTech. - Mode 2 simulates SMBX2 Physics. - Mode 3 simulates SMBX 1.3 Physics. https://wohlsoft.ru/wiki/images/a/a2/TheXTech-Speedrun-Mode.gif You must use either Mode 2 or 3 to speedrun SMBX Episodes. There are two ways to enable them: **1. Via settings/thextech.ini (Recommended)** Open the settings file in an Editor, and add/change the [speedrun] section to: *[speedrun] mode = 2 semi-transparent-timer = false* *2* can be replaced with *3*, *false* can be replaced with *true* to make the timer translucent, like in the recording above. **2. Via a custom command** If you don't want the Speedrun Mode to be enabled by default, you can start it temporarily by using one of these custom Commands: *thextech --speed-run-mode 2 --speed-run-semitransparent* *thextech --speed-run-mode 3 --speed-run-semitransparent* *--speed-run-semitransparent* makes the timer half-transparent.

Depending on your Operating System and Installation Method, you may have to replace *thextech* with one of the following: Windows: *smbx-win64.exe* | *smbx-win32.exe* | *smbx-arm64.exe* | *thextech.exe* Unix-based: *./thextech* | *./smbx* **Configure the Timer Stop via compat.ini** By default, the Timer will stop at the built-in "End Game" trigger. Different triggers for the stop can be configured by editing the compat.ini file inside an episode or level folder. ***none*** This will keep the default setting. *[speedrun] stop-timer-by = none* ***event*** Stops the Timer when a certain Event is triggered. *[speedrun] stop-timer-by = event stop-timer-at = "Event Name"* ***leave*** Stops the Timer when leaving a certain Level (enter without .lvl/.lvlx). *[speedrun] stop-timer-by = leave stop-timer-at = FinalBossLevel* ***enter*** Stops the Timer when entering a certain Level (enter without .lvl/.lvlx). *[speedrun] stop-timer-by = enter stop-timer-at = EpisodeCreditsLevel* https://wohlsoft.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3677 https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/releases
