Hello Izumi and thank you very much for your kindness!

You don´t imagine the effort i was putting into trying to find a solution or a workaround for this issue lol..

I was even trying to convert saves between regions which is really sketchy.

I will check out those saves now :)

Hugs

Hello everyone,

Anyone willing to share a savegame for the japanese version so i can practice speedrunning in lone wolf?

Unfortunately the saves i found for the jpn version doesn´t have lonewolf unlocked. I can always speedrun a few levels but others are faster played in lone wolf.

I have USA version with everything unlocked but the tracker just works on jpn version so its worthless for posting runs on the leaderboard.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

So i am a RE1 classic speedrunner that might soon start practicing RE2 classic too, but i was interested in playing the special mode (hunk/tofu) first.

I downloaded a bunch of saves from the resources and end all scenarios from the last save avaliable of each one (basically the boss fights).

But it seems it´s necessary to complete a 2nd run from a save you make after ending the normal run, right? On RE1 it´s called NG+.

If that´s the case, can anyone share a save on the last battle from a NG+ run?

I would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What i meant is that on PC the timer stops on door transitions, when opening and closing the menu, etc, that´s why doing the acid skip still saves time on PC, even though you have to go pick the acid rounds later before yawn 2.

On playstation the time is always adding up, no matter if you´re opening doors, the menu, etc. so its not worth it.

But I think pause cancelling for knifing or bazooka still looks faster than waiting for the character to recover from the animation, it´s funny seeing old chris runs and people we´re not doing that and resorting to other tactics.

I ended up completing a run first on psxjin but i tested duckstation and the sound is better and more consistent, the graphics too and it´s generally a better experience.

I just have to get used to the way pre-turning works on playstation, which for me it feels that the character starts turning before the screen is actually showing the character, which doesn´t happen on PC.

Hello guys,

I am interested in trying to run biohazard on an emulator for the first time, as there is just one run on duckstation i will try that emulator but i have a few questions..

Any idea why the runs on Playstation don´t do the acid skip like on PC?

Maybe because on PSX the timings are on real time instead of in-game time and the time save is not really there like on PC?

And it seems it takes around 10 minutes more to complete the run on duckstation comparing to the the legacy emulator, it´s a big gap considering it´s just a different emulator.

Thanks

Hello guys, do you have any idea why the split 34 - "End" isn´t registering on my side? It´s like i never actually end the run. Thanks

LOL I was really convinced that i was playing the updated version because the 2.1 have the default textures too, i uploaded a run that i made to the 1.6 leaderboard, was still fun trying to figure out different routes!

From my perspective you should keep the two downloads avaliable as the barry version i was playing is a lot of fun too (and i prefer the default textures too), create a leaderboard for the "old" 1.6 version too, the version you uploaded now don´t even state 1.6 or anything so it is a bit of misleading.

I will not delete that version and might one day try the good ending then eheh.

Many thanks.

Yes i am using the version avaliable in the resources, but as i said before, its not like the two runs avaliable on 1.6 leaderboard anymore.. The textures are like the original and the items are not in the same place, go test it yourself if you dont believe me.

And regarding the autosplitter, livesplit say there is no autosplitter avaliable for this version, the settings option are greyed out (i tried using the .lss and the .asl avaliable in the resources but it wont start/stop/split so what i am doing is using the built-in IGT of the game, which is accurate anyway.

i have no problems using livesplit in other resident evil versions or categories, i dont know how those two runs on the leaderboard have used the autosplitter.

It seems that if i kill the zombie with the magnum the crash won´t happen, so somehow the crash is something related to that zombie.

I noticed too that the FAS that we start with can be used a few times before actually dissappearing.

Crazy stuff :D

Hello fellow speedrunnners.

I am trying to speedrun barry mod version 1.6 which i noticed received an update too, which changed the items location (i am not talking about version 2.1).

I am trying to figure out a best route for mansion 1 as the items are in different locations as the runs on the leaderboard. You start with a magnum (with 0 rounds) and a FAS (no knife), in the main hall instead of a beretta you have magnum rounds on the floor.

It seems the game forces me to go shoot the zombie and push the statue on the 2nd floor (like in the chris run) because if i go to the blue door in the beginning and the pick the key in the furniture where is a zombie, the game crashes, i tried a few times and it crashed all the time.

Its crashing even if i go to the jill cutscene in the safe room and go back to pick the key, but if i go to other locations first it wont crash. Weird but i havent figured out the issue with the crash.

The lighter is in the place of a crest in the gas room, and the music score is in the mirror room in the first floor. The chemical is outside where there is two dogs, the knife is in the safe room where normally the chemical is on chris run.

There is a key in the 2nd floor where you have to light the candles and push the drawer. the guardhouse i think is the same and mansion 2 there is a mo disk in the place of the red book and if i remember correctly the red book is on 2nd floor in the area where the battery is located (sorry i dont know exactly the room name).

I am trying to figure out the best route on mansion 1 without overlapping too much, it seems that this way you have to go back and forth more than in the chris run, but unlike some of you, i know the map but not like in a route optimized way, if i can say that :)

It´s funny that you say that Shiido because i changed the name of all the splits and it´s not affecting anything. Maybe it´s because i completed a couple of runs before changing, i don´t know, i´m new to speedrunning anyway. Btw i´m the guy who submitted a theta run, i was watching your stream the other day and someone started talking about theta runs, so i went to your past streams and i saw that my run was verified by you lol. It made me laugh. But i promise my next improved runs will be on youtube :)

Thanks for the fast answer Raclesis. I am not sure what you meant but I have changed the segment name of the splits on "edit splits" a few days ago and its working normally. No other change was needed.

Hello there, i have a little question. I searched on the forum and on the rules but haven´t found any answer to my doubt. Is it OK to submit a run using some hints on the splits name? Like left, right, etc? Most of my splits have funny names but there is some specific parts of the game i haven´t memorized the route well enough yet, so it helps me run better along those parts. I supposed its OK because i saw other players using that kind of mechanism but its always better to clarify. Thanks for your time.
