Run added for WR history.

The single player mod is still avaiIable, but i will try to replace soon the link for the patch as it is broken.

To retrieve your in game time for full runs take all the IGT times of individual levels of the said run, then addiotionnate them on a website that allow to this kind of stuff. For example: https://www.calculator.net/time-calculator.html

Developer: "The in-game timer is based on actual logic (physics) frames of the game. So it would be accurate to how many frames of actual input, AI, collisions, etc happened. It also, as you are probably aware, pauses for things that might run at different speeds for different people, namely loading screens between maps. It also actually slows down for slow-mo effects like when you kill a boss, since the slow-mo effect just slows down how often the logic/physics frames occur but the timer still counts each frame once.

Therefore the in-game timer is the most accurate in terms of comparing speed runs since it counts only actual frames of input, and can't be manipulated by making the game run faster or slower than real time."

Don't know if it has been asked already, but using an authenticator will be more secure than receiving a code by email.

I did a run on emulator as i do not have a Dreamcast and the game is the same for valkyrie path and i guess for crystal path too, i do not see any contraindication for this version if played on a real console.

I reintegrated this category with a slightly different rule as i think it has a place here even if it is niche and only address to the most assiduous runners, it makes the game a lot more difficult mainly boss fights.

"Ending C+ only as it will not be possible to unlock the other route. You can open chests but it is not allowed to collect stuff inside except for the wood shield, thor hammer is forbidden too."

I suppose that it will be fine, but i have no idea how accurate is the emulation on ps1 mini.

It will take a decade before someone beat that.

Good job at reaching top 10!

I tested a little the PAL version in box on a ps3 and compared to USA it seems that the trubo tend to resist more to the waves physic (maybe because of the slower framerate), this is to confirm but both versions might have their own categories if it is true. Don't know about jpn version but it should be the same that europe.

Also apparently championship mode in one player is missing in PAL.

Sure it is not a bad idea we could add the rule for future new runs.

This is another subject but ideally it will be a good thing if we were able to not count loading time as they are different between all platforms, with an autosplitter for future runs one day maybe and will have to retime actual runs.

This works well on retroarch.

I finally created the categories for original mode, i will add them too for arranged mode. For now i thought that it was better to keep JP physical and digital release together to not confuse too much new runners.

Not really related to speedrun but maybe someone will be able to answer here. I tried for hours to find a way to launch the multiplayer exe with the beta patch that is supposed to allow 20 players but it just does not work i was receiving a memory error (don't remember the exact one), and even if it would the windows version run so slow compared to PS1 one. I can't even find a single video of the multiplayer on Youtube, did this multiplayer patch ever worked? Imagine if they fixed the game for newer systems on GOG i will buy it instantly.

This is a common problem with this game with all sort of emulators, i wonder if it happens on a PS3 too i don't have the CD. I still did not find a solution to this day, EU version does not work for me.

Hi. Someone suggested me to add a best lap category in the individual leaderboard which will raise the number of it to 8. What do you think about this idea ?

I am a personally a little skeptical on the interest of having so many leaderboards as this is going to make things a little messy and that it may be barely runned, even if a best lap category could have a legitimacy.

Waiting for your opinion.

The game has been added on Race Time recently so do not hesitate to do races with your friends, if you never heard about this website this is a much better alternative to the old speedrunslive.
