I didn't really understand the post, but I did see the line " but is focused on cases where introducing a pause is absolutely necessary (solely for reasons that lie within the limitations of the movement speed of the human hand) in order to perform a trick without tool-assistance", but wouldn't that still pause buffering? Cause to me at least it seems like your pausing the game for the sole purpose to execute certain inputs on certain frames, so in that case, I would still consider that pause buffering, since you are buffering an input

I just figured out why it was being weird. AmaRec switched to some random codec, and switching it back to LAGS fixed it, but thanks for the help anyway

If you want to submit a run, go to the first page (speedrun.com/smo/thread/pc6bs/1) and then on the first post, click on the submission form, fill it out, and that will submit your no-video run. Don't post your PB in the thread

I don't really know how to describe it, but it just looks really bad to me and I prefer having my streams to be the highest they can be. I think it's mainly the deinterlacing algorithm if I had to guess, but honestly I don't know

Edit: I just re-checked and to me it kinda looks like if the game had motion blur

Also not to be rude or anything, but I would prefer if it didn't have a watermark, or could like use seperate codecs to avoid them, kinda like using LAGS on AmaRecTV, Thanks once again!

I can personally recommend some of Avermedia's capture cards, they are around the $100 price range. Of course, the prices may be raised due to the whole pandemic happening, though I can still find them for around $100

The Capture Card I personally use is the Live Gamer MINI - GC311 (https://www.avermedia.com/us/product-detail/GC311) My PC isn't very good, but it can capture around 720p60fps

My Second Recommendation is the Live Gamer Portable 2 PLUS - GC513 (https://www.avermedia.com/us/product-detail/GC513) I've heard good things about this, and it has a portable recording mode, so even if your PC couldn't record you could use a microSD card to record, though I cannot say anything about its quality since I don't have it.

You can also go with Elgato's capture card choices, however they usually seem to be much more expensive from what I can tell (around $150 to $200 for the newer ones) I, however, cannot recommend their capture cards as I don't have them and because of the price

Are there any real alternatives to AmaRec on 64-bit? Mainly cause 32-bit OBS sometimes lags for me and I don't want my run to lag out while streaming and having it not be accepted. I know about just using the Cap Cards straight source but it looks really bad just by itself, Thanks!

Edit: Also a way to use AmaRecTV in OBS 64-Bit would be cool. (and I've done a window capture of it, but it doesn't really work for me)

@CLSjujames Use the form in the first post to submit runs

Dolphin shouldn't have a separate category since it is essentially just a Gamecube. You are allowed to use Dolphin for all runs, I'm pretty sure emulators used to have a time cap, but then it got removed.

As stated in the above post, since it runs as a Gamecube emulator and not an Xbox emulator it's not any faster and thus as long as being emulated correctly there is no need for a category split.

Edit: This post just says they removed the cut off: https://www.speedrun.com/bfbb/thread/pni1y

I mean like a consistent way to pause the frame after the animation finishes or do you just have to press it manually after the animation ends (so like a buffer or something)

AntarcticaUnbones3 years ago

Hello I was just wondering why the timing for ILs end on pause rather then when finishing the objective, and also is there a consistent way to pause or do you have to do it manually.

AntarcticaUnbones3 years ago

I was wondering how to get it so that the +/- split delta thing to always show up, not just a few seconds before the split ends, as my splits don't actually show the previous split since it's small so it doesnt really cover up the screen, also I just think it looks nicer

So an old OG Xbox loses 1 min to 360 and 2 minutes to a New OG Xbox

AntarcticaUnbones3 years ago

Hello I saw the BFBB History Part 2 Vid, and in it they mentioned that there was a time on the leaderboards that used OG Xbox, that had slow loads, so I was wondering how much time that OG Xbox loses compared to Xbox 360?

Here is a tool to calculate your own run easily : https://mattbraddock.com/yt-frame-timer/

AntarcticaUnbones4 years ago

This is for everyone : "I have made it so timing for act 1 ends when you can start moving or the frame that ACT 2 starts fading in (ACT 2 Timing is slightly slower so thats why I reccomend moving at the begining) For Act 2 It starts the Frame you start moving just incase you got world record in ACT 1 and need some time to breathe And it ends the frame the "crash" screen fully shows"

AntarcticaUnbones4 years ago

Oh well then use either but for faster contact use the main one just for Revenge

Also I am no longer an active speedrunner of this game (may occasionally post runs if I feel like it) so please expect me to verify your runs between 1 to 7 days. If I haven't verified for more than 3 days feel free to message/post on the discord if more than 5 days you can direct message me, and if more then 7 you can spam my direct messages

AntarcticaUnbones4 years ago

If you have any requests, changes, questions or literally anything, ask them here. For some questions you may have Q : How is timing done? A : Timing is only timed to the second, so timing frame perfectly is only required if you're time says for example 1:15.00 or if you claim you're run is a world record. Q : Can you run this game on Mac? A : Yes, you may run using Wine, or Bootcamp. Any other way message me on discord or ask in the forums. Q : Is there a discord server for this game? A : Yes, but no. The discord server for this game was part of the disbelief server which I am a moderator for also, but I believe the discord was deleted, so now there is a new one just for REVENGE : TUE Speedrunning. Q : How do I become Mod? A : Go to the discord server. You start by being verifier then, you become mod, then supermod. Just fill out the form. Q : Is this game dead? A : Kinda Q : Will Act 4 be added as an IL/ Full Game Category A : No as the game doesn't actually end it just freezes
