Hey guys I am planning or more like want to learn to run ToS. I am from EU Germany and I know that i can forget my Pal disc to run it. I also have no clue about Wii region change thingy magic. But I also have the steam version. But since I am in EU do you guys know if its just a 50hz port from the PS2 version or if it's a run able version? Sry for my confusing english :/ I hope that someone here is still alive :D

Ok i thought about it. Let's make the question easy: Can I speedrun the "german" Steam Version without getting a disadvantage and can I use the guide to learn it?!

Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can run the German steam version and have no disadvantage as the steam version is locked at 30 FPS as it is based off the PS2 and PS3 versions of the game. The steam version doesn't have a Japanese version, which has a disadvantage on PS3, so anyone playing on steam can follow the route I created for NG+. Still working on New Game as we speak.

Quick note that the PAL GameCube version even though it plays at 50 FPS is faster than the Steam version due to a lot of changes Namco introduced out of nowhere along with nerfs for the strongest characters. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. The community isn't dead we're just kind of dormant dealing with IRL stuff lol.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will prob still run NG+ for steam cause of not having a CRT TV atm and hooking up my GC on a HD TV looks kinda... not how I would like it :D (If I get a TV maybe through Ebay I will prob run GC) But when I am already on it: Do u guys have like short notes infront of u when u run it or do u remember just everything? Never ran a long game like this so I rather ask in advance before I do it later :) Also didnt wanted to insult you by calling it dead, It just seems a little quiet in these forums for a long time, so I wasnt sure if you stll look into it :)

Well I've managed to remember everything but it's different for other people. I'd suggest running with notes since NG+ on steam is sub 7 hours but can be longer with no practice.
