--NOTE-- Yes, this should be in the FF7 forum I know, but if I try and post this there the page refreshes and my account miraculously disappears along with my thread! So please forgive posting in the general forum!

I've just completed my 3rd speedrun of FF7 using the clunky ol' PS1 with an aim of sub-10 hours. Did a run a long time ago without a guide on the PS1 at ~15 hours and an Android attempt a year ago (10h57m). Phone controls were horrid so I knew I could do it faster... just didn't think about the 25-year old PS1's performance in comparison!

Nevertheless, I did it, just - 9h 59m 3s. I followed the Steam speedrun guide by Koolkit (modified from GarlandTheGreat's guide). No slots, any% and NMG. It does encourage soft-resetting for encounter avoidance (e.g. world map) though - not sure what the exact rule is on this.

Problem being, I didn't think about submitting it here as a full run. I did record the end from the final save in Northern Cave to the final strike of the end boss, alongside a timer and uploaded to Youtube. BUT - without the whole thing, I'm not sure if it can be submitted. It shows the final time check so you can work out the final time, but I can't prove NMG (but come on, NMG would get me a much faster time no? Better than 37th on the leaderboard anyway! It's a genuine run!).

Would be great to be able to submit it, especially as it'd be the only PS1 run on there (of course the PS2 will be faster and one day I might repeat it - more so if this run can't be submitted!).

Fingers crossed this thread goes up - not having very good luck and again apologies to mods this isn't in the FF7 forum (I've tried, twice!).
