Yes, agreed with all of it. It also happened to me before, that after failing Tanker Commander I punched my keyboard and accidentally typed HESOYAM. Will that be allowed with this change?

A - Limiting your framerate using whatever software on a PC is like manipulating how well your PC performs. Since all computers are different, allowing people to limit their framerate would be the fairest decision to be made.

If option B would be chosen, people could find other ways around it. Either getting older hardware or manipulating their PC's performance by other external programs, that don't directly limit the game's fps, but keeps the PC busy. Use common sense, please.

Conclusion. This wouldn't be the title, if it wasn't true.

Edit: I edited the opening post to have that information in the comment as well, not only the video / title, to make it obvious.

Previously someone has claimed, that the Xbox version of San Andreas does not have to be restarted, when the runner decides to reset, because unlike the PC version, it resets the progress levels between upgrades. I started investigating all versions I own of the game (Xbox original, Xbox 360 remastered, PS2) to find out if this occurs, using a certain method. None of these versions reset your progress. Since 100% and All Missions categories require certain skills to progress in the run, I believe this should be discussed. Also I kept saying golf course instead of tennis club, sorry about that.

The game is badly optimised, so it is going to run crap on almost anything. I'm running the game on my secondary computer, that I use for speedrunning:

Gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3 Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 2.7GHz @ 3.95GHz (basically a late core 2 duo) 4GB DDR3 RAM dual channel, roughly 1300MHz Ati Radeon HD4830 512MB stock frequencies

I use the -nomemrestrict and -norestrictions launch options to be able to change the texture quality to high.

I have a streaming computer and a capture device, so streaming does not take away any extra resources from the game. I get 28FPS at the worst, 35FPS most of the time and goes over 50-60 sometimes.

Here are my settings: http://i.imgur.com/ev70dim.jpg

You don't necessarily need a "better" or more expensive mouse. I'm using an old ball mouse for VC, that I bought for 3€, it has low dpi and works fine. If you don't feel like paying much, it's a good option imo. Btw the radio does not restart on PS2 either when you reset.

My messy PC/PS2 strimming setup with two monitors. The one on the right is a monitor tv, which takes component, and I'm playing PS2/Xbox on it and using it as a second monitor too. There are two computers behind the monitors, that's why there are two keyboards and mice (my current and my old pc). Also, Videoton Saturnus vintage satellite speakers ftw. OneHand
