European UnionPoP1 SNES Romhacks can be found over at popot.org—click here & scroll down to the bottom of the page—or on romhacking.net. Some ROMs may also be found in this leaderboard's "Resources" section.
We'll gladly add any hack to the leaderboard that has a speedrun already.
...by @vo1dm1nd; for the sake of completeness, because it's currently not on the board:
In August 2024, this game was finally released on Steam (as version 1.4.0). In particular, this means that we finally have the ability to downpatch to 1.4.0 and above through Steam, so runs done on these versions are safe to play on in the future. As a result, however, we had to do a final clean-up of runs and archive old versions that cannot be downloaded or accessed anymore. Given this is the last time we had to do this, we were able got rid of the temporary "Old Patch" misc category and, instead, archive all pre-1.4.0 runs (including all detail) in this spreadsheet! And with this, the patch wars come to an end. ☮️
Some people from the PoP community already got the chance to play the full game a week early, and hereby all strats and glitches that have been found are being shared. All findings are compiled in this document and are being updated with new tech as it's found. Also contains a table of all amulets & their impact on damage values, a list of all Athra surges (and their location), as well as all puzzle solutions.
I don't know why I never posted this vipeazone video here so let's rectify that:
After some discussion among the PoP leaderboard moderators we have decided to rename "No Major Glitches" to "No Exit Glitch" in order to more reflect the true nature of the category. Moreover what was "Any% (Warpless)" previously has now been bumped from a subcategory to the new main category "All Levels"; again, in order to clarify to new runners or viewers what the category is about.
For the sake of completeness here is a list of all fonts used in this game:
- Game logo font: Prince of Persia Font
- Menu font: Atlantis MF
- PS3 "HD remaster" font: Constantine

To document what the currently "optimal" time would be for all categories: Link
If anyone is interested in doing speedruns of ROM hacks of this game (to be found, e.g., here) there now is a leaderboard dedicated to them: click here or click on "ROM Hacks" in the navigation bar on the left. Have fun everyone!
Hey! Because we had a handful of new PoP1 runners lately who are sadly not in the Prince of Persia Discord server - I thought I'd additionally announce here that submissions for the Prince of Persia Marathon 2018 are open for another week! So if you're interesting in showing off one of the ports for this game, feel free to submit a run to the marathon here and also join the PoP discord for easier communication!
This is a community project which started in January and was finished in July of 2018. Segment contributors were: @7eraser7 @Asco @epicdudeguy @GrizzzzBear @tocaloni1 @Vynneve
This project was first revealed live at ESA Summer 2018. Watch the VOD (with chat) here:
As this seems to not be a thing so far, there now exists a Daedalic Speedrun Discord! Here the link for anyone who cares enough to join: https://discord.gg/YVRZ2ju
