Good idea, i think i started mine just before i started the recording for the run, on the main menu. From what i could gather during my testing of the autosplit it seemed to work either way though curiously it made the 0.00 start on red if i did it later.

In either event, for a first ever completed run i hit 50:35. Struggling with the dodge for Yawn 1; that cost me a LOT of time. Probably worth doing a save just before and doing some level running of that one. I also got thoroughly and roughly rogered by the dogs in the courtyard trying to pick up herbs. Ironically i ended up getting so badly smacked about by them that i finished up having used 2 herbs on the same health as before i started!

Its weird how much more nervous one is when the recording is on, one save room i couldnt even control the menu and ended up blowing around 15 seconds there, but despite all of that, that was a LOT of fun! :D

Thank you to both of you for your really quick response. I think changing to running as admin was the fix. I also had to figure that i had to start the first split myself during the intro so that it would snag into the game time counter.

Looking forward to my first run, not aiming to be challenging the big boys, first ever speedrun of any game ever but im aiming for a sub 50 minute run as a baseline to practice from. My last test run ended at black tiger due to auto-aim confusion at 40 minutes so im feeling reasonably confident in my own very amateur sort of way :P

Hi Clix,

Apologies if this is a stupid question and also for potentially reviving a dead thread but this seems the best place to ask. Is there currently a way to get autosplitters working with the REbirth patch?

Ive been wanting to get into running the first to RE's but as a gamepad player the REBirth patch is pretty essential to my setup, at the moment i cant seem to get any of the splitters around to work with it for either RE1 or RE2.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, im completely new to the site
