United StatesIdeas for a new category? Post them here for discussion and consideration!
Recently DLC was announced! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2223240/Sword_and_Fairy_7__Dreamlike_World_Expansion/
The DLC will be added to the board a few days after release so categories and rules can be sorted out for it. If it makes sense, possibly making a "full game" category in which you complete the DLC right after main game since it's supposed to pick up where the main story left off.
I have just uploaded a new autosplitter for RE1 to LiveSplit. HUGE thank you to SHiiDO for allowing me to overwrite his existing one!
The default settings of this autosplitter are IDENTICAL to the one that was previously up there, so if you do not want to, you do not need to make any changes at all if you are happy with how it was functioning. This option is called "checkpoint splits" in the new autosplitter.
Routed door splits for every main board category. These splits will only split when going in the correct direction along the route for the category. Just set your category in the Settings menu! The existing splits upload by SHiiDO should be compatible with these!
Don't like splitting on every door? Using these will reduce Bad Ending runs to 16 splits and Good Ending runs to 17 splits. Blank splits files for these will be uploaded soon, but you can check the website for more detail ( https://github.com/deserteagle417/RE1-Autosplitter )
These split on every door transition you make, regardless of route. These are different to the previous version of the autosplitter in that they don't wait at certain checkpoints to catch up.
Do you like splitting on key item pickups? Then this is the option for you! You can select which items you'd like to split on, then the autosplitter will split when that item enters your inventory. Key item splits are also compatible with any version of the door splits as well, so you can add them in to the segmented splits, or if you want about 250 million splits, into the door splits!
Tutorial video coming in the next couple days, but please read the autosplitter webpage if you want to see more details on the autosplitter https://github.com/deserteagle417/RE1-Autosplitter
If you have any questions, or have any bugs to report, please let me know by replying to this thread!
I have just updated the autosplitter available through LiveSplit for this game (thank you to Carci for letting me post over his).
This functions with all versions of Sourcenext RE2: v1.0 and v1.1 (both with and without REbirth patch). You can name your splits whatever you'd like for these.
It contains options for routed door splits for every category, as well as Hunk/Tofu and EX Battle. There are also set splits for the main game categories as well as the ability to split on key item pickups. **Note that the old Claire B splits files were actually missing a door, so if you use your old splits, you need to add an extra split AFTER the existing split 121.
I have also set the autosplitter to start before the intro cutscene so you no longer need to manually start your splits before each run in order to skip the intro cutscene at the right time.
See the website here for more information: https://github.com/deserteagle417/RE2-Autosplitter
If anything isn't working properly, please @ me in this thread to let me know, or DM me on Discord! I hope you all find this convenient and useful!
Hi everyone! I just uploaded an autosplitter to LiveSplit which supports all versions of the game: Chinese, Taiwanese, Mediakite, and REbirth. No need to swap ASL files if you're running different versions. It also has support for any%, Nemesis%, and any% Knife Only, just check which category you'd like to run, and that's it! It also supports key item splits as well, if you prefer that (they also function with the door splits if you really like splitting on everything).
UPDATE The autosplitter now automatically splits at the end of the run.
To use this, go to the edit splits menu and click activate. Click the settings button there to see the options available. Be sure to remove any existing "Scriptable Auto Splitter" from your layout before using this! A brief rundown of features and options is below, but visit this link for more detail: https://github.com/deserteagle417/RE3-Autosplitter
-the default any% splits are the ones ending in "Fin". The Nemesis% and knife only splits are based off of this and changed where needed -there is an option that works with the "Over Hiear" splits -there are options to add in all of the missing doors from the Clock Tower and Hospital as well as an option to split on the room resets for basement and System Disc room. -fully customizable key item splits. pick whichever you'd like to split on -a basic door splitter that will split on every door transition -an option to (mostly) fully customize your door splits. You can pick exactly which doors you'd like to split on.
Here's a quick video on setting up the autosplitter for use:
Here's a longer video where I talk about more of the settings:
I just noticed I don't get notifications for replies to this thread, so if you have a question for me about this, please @ me!
I've updated the autosplitter for RE0 that is built into LiveSplit. It has the ability to split on items, key events which are based on where the older autosplitters were splitting, as well as door splits covering NG, NG+, and Wesker Mode for both standard and door skip runs. There are blank splits in the Resources section of this page set up to use with the autosplitter, just check out the description file in the download for what you need to check in the autosplitter settings.
Thanks to Mogul for testing early versions, Keys and Pessimism for helping me with the route for the splits, and Mysterion for helping with the code for the splitter!
We've added a new platform category for the DuckStation emulator! This platform will time by RTA. Please read the setup and required settings before doing and submitting runs! https://www.speedrun.com/resurvivor/guide/0vnm6
The Legacy Emulator category will remain IGT to preserve the competition, history, and strats found there. Console will remain IGT for now, but we will likely have discussion on changing to RTA in the future (probably will track both).
Hi everyone!
I fixed something that has been bothering me for years: "NG Easy S-rank" and "NG+ Handgun only". Both are categories that didn't exist but had (empty) boards anyway, probably because SRC's system is shit and the original mods didn't wanna deal with it. Anyway, they're gone now and only the real categories are left!
RE4 was booting, but not displaying at all for me out of nowhere. I've found out that it's something with Radeon Drivers 21.4.1 or later. If you revert to 21.3.1, it works fine.
Hopefully they fix this in a future update!
Some people on Reddit are saying DXVK fixes it as well, but I couldn't figure that out. Of course, take that with a grain of salt as it's from Reddit.
Hi everyone!
As you've all probably seen throughout the other forum posts, RE1 has a bit of history with emulators which is why we've been rather resistant to allowing more emulators because either 1) there's no way it will compete with the PSXjin runs or 2) it'll be much faster and thwart the history of that board (such as ePSXe).
A bit of history: before about 2015/2016 the PC version of RE1 was basically unplayable and ran entirely too fast. This meant that Emulator was the primary platform for RE1 and strict rules for emulator version had to be put in place for consistency. Then Supergamer's patch was released and fixed timing issues, speed issues, and other things, so PC version became usable and took over as the main platform. Since there's so much history with the game on Emulator, we never wanted to change those rules so as to preserve that board.
The problem now is that PSXjin does not play well (or at all in some cases) on modern machines and it's never exactly been a great emulator anyway, tbh. I've been thinking for a while to make a separate platform for a modern emulator, and recently Dino Crisis 2 has actually implemented this exact thing (Emulator and Emulator (Legacy)). I'm glad to see others had the same idea and it works well, so I've finally pulled the trigger on starting this setup for RE1. We will eventually add "Duckstation" (name to be finalized) as a platform.
The RE1 mods are discussing currently rules for the category and setting up the emulator and testing it. I've requested input display as a feature in Duckstation and the dev agreed to add it (https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/issues/1889), so depending on how long that takes to roll out we'll sort out rules for it, but you should expect to have to display inputs. We should be able to get the category going in a couple weeks here (lots of stuff going on with the RE1 tournament at the moment).
tl;dr - Duckstation will be an allowed emulator soon and will have its own platform so competition can be meaningful and fair. It's not approved yet, so please don't submit runs with it until you see the actual platform show up! (We'll update here)
In case anyone's missed the Twitter or Discord announcements:
Starting in April on RESpeedruns, we will have our second RE1 Jill any% tournament! This is one of our main tournaments, so will have an expanded field (up to 32 participants)!! The first tournament in 2019 was loads of fun and I'm looking forward to this one!

The trick used in this clip will not be allowed in runs on the PC version as it is a consequence of separating aim change and run in the classic rebirth patch and absolutely was not possible before. You cannot do this in the Black Tiger room or anywhere else. Using this will get the run rejected.
As of right now, it is still allowed to bind aim change to a different key since even mapping run and aim change (as it was before) to the same key still makes this trick work on the new patch.
Hi everyone! We're going to drop the RTA column now and only track sum of IGT from now on. However, the maximum of 3 minutes between games rule is still in effect.
Recently we made the switch from the "RE Speedrunning community discord" to RESpeedruns discord.
