Has anyone tried out the switch version that comes with the physical copy of Asha In Monster World for switch? Would we know if it is a rerelease of the WiiVC or another port?

I know this is an older thread but I'd be interested in several shorter game sections. As with the one you describe, MrStarbird, there could be any number of short sections of game that all come with their own starting condition and end points. With the use of an appropriately prepared save state any section of game is fit for this. We could even create and distribute authorized save states for X section run.

Hello,

My name is FightsWithFish and I am interested in beginning to speed run the Phantasy Star series starting with the original. They always say check with the community about the use of emulators therefore, that is what I am doing with this thread. It appears that, if I understand it correctly, the website indicates that most people use the Master System however, I do not feel like forking out the cash for the system and cart. Would Fusion be acceptable for speed running? If not then what emulator or solution do you suggest.

I also see these cool overlays that have timers, tracks, section of game etc. and I'd like to use these tools to start running.

By the by I plan to be an active member because Phantasy Star II was the game that brought me to a new realization of what a game is and is responsible for basically every game I ever played after. I have played all of the Phantasy Star series except the text adventures and fan made PS II and the Japanese only releases.

edit

I have decided to start with Ages first. But I am still curious because I want to run the other Phantasy Stars as well.
