The shortcut makes the game run. It opens the .swf file with the xml file. If you dont open it through the shortcut, the game doesnt run

Are you opening the game through the "HP" shortcut?

Are you running it through the batch file or the windows shortcut? This error appears when the method used to launch the game does not include the xml text file

Emulator is allowed but restricted. You can find all of the rulings by clicking the rules button on the main boards and scrolling down to "Emulator Rules".

A optimal setup for running the game would be a Phat PS3, SSD and the standalone version of the game in the PS Store. The game will cost around 10 euros, the ssd around 30 euros and the console will depend where you buy it. You can find consoles from 20 euros to 80 euros, so general average is 60-100 euros in total for the setup.

However, with this setup you could play all Sly games except the PS2 version of Sly 1 optimally.

If you have any further questions I would recommend you to join the speedrunning discord. Just click the discord button right below the game name on this page.

Dont know why I never responded to this, but FDS is allowed

So heres the verdict.

I timed two loads from the video you sent me (first time leaving big ears house and going through the portal to the city), both were timed from the first frame Noddys head (save icon) appeared to first frame Noddy's head disappears. The total timeloss of those two loads compared to a PS2 Slim 90k console was 31.766 seconds (retimed in 30 fps).

We will allow USB via OPL to be utilized, but with a note/safeguard where if any USB via OPL only strats were to be found, a reassessment of the verdict will have to be made.

Hope this is satisfactory :)

Kind regards, The entire mod team

Hello everyone,

After doing some testing between a PS2 90k model and PCSX2 emulator, the timed saved on loads on emulator was so big, that I decided to split the boards between Console and Emulator. The testing run is the now current WR of emulator 1:32:41 and that run is not nearly as good as Cobra's current console WR.

Kind regards from the entire mod team :)

Hello everyone,

During ESA Summer 2024, SixRock and I cooked up a new banger category called 19 Jumps. This is the lowest amounts of jumps possible to complete the game. It utilizes a texture clip in level 5 and a 19 Jumps only strat in level 2 proudly named "Tom & Gierry". There is no logical explanation for this name. 19 Jumps will be a main category.

Due to the arbitrariness surrounding 10x Any%, it will be moved from being a main category to miscellaneous.

Kind regards from the entire mod team :)

That would be great. Please send this to my inbox on Discord (@Oggyerino). This will help with reaching a verdict!

Hello random person I havent seen before. I will look into it and come back to you with a verdict. I need to consult the rest of the mods.

I did not know of any when I ran, but TuKeZu made this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/pk/forums/snej0

Hello everyone.

Previously the discord server tied to this game has been the "LEGO Mobile & Web Games Series" discord, but that server's management is... not the best and the BFH room is FUBAR. It's time.

I have no aspiration to make it the craziest or biggest discord, but just a place to gather the community with no intention of it being actively used. The servers main function is to ping community members when there is either a community group photo at a event or there is a showcase of the run.

Join the community server through this link or the button at the top of the page: https://discord.gg/SuJyQJ5RZz

Hello everyone.

There will be a new requirement to use the game version with the built in IGT (In game timer) for any runs sub 57.000. This means that if you get a 56.967 or better you need to use the newest version. This is only applicable to Any% and Co-op Any%.

This change will take full effect starting April 1st (no joke).

You can find the new version under resources in either "SPEEDRUN & PRACTICE VERSIONS V1.5" or "SPEEDRUN VERSION ONLY".

Everyone using this new version that wants to edit the text in game will have to make sure the end time is fully visable.*

Runs submitted after 1st of April with a better time then 57s 000ms and found not using the new version, will be rejected.

Happy running, -Oggy

*Edit 26/03/2024: After reconsideration the ruling on the end screen will be altered to "Everyone using this new version that wants to edit the text in game will have to make sure the end time is fully visable"

BBPT is the newest strat found by SixRock.

Hello everyone,

All runs will be retimed using 30 fps. When the game was decompiled it was discovered/confirmed that the game runs at 30 fps. Some runs on the board was retimed with 30 fps, but a lot of them were retimed at 60 fps which caused the retiming to add on "half-frames".

This change might change some placements, but the only major change is one instance where I beat Lazar's record with a 58.350. This time is not retimed correctly upon being retimed with a "half-frame". I am not sure what happened in the retiming there, but this change will sort that out.

Thanks for reading and happy running! -Oggy

New level 6 strat found by InsomniacNintendo.

I have compared this to the current community gold and it is the exact same speed. This strat could perhaps end up saving a few frames, but from my limited testing, I am unsure if its easier compared to current strats.

This is known and sadly I have not been able to find any use for it. The texture is just too tall to be able to reach the red brick and it cant be used to get a good cycle on the cauldron.

All textures like it can be clipped through if you enter from the side of it. This knowledge is currently used in level 4 and 10.

Good find and please keep posting any finds :)

Many people played BFH at ESA Winter 2024 and some people had a lot of fun playing any% in co-op. So we are adding it.

Thank you

Wake up Worts, its all over.

Not really, but all runs that is submitted after 20/01/2021 will be changed from Webᴇᴍᴜ -> Flash. All runs previous to this date will have the platform listed as "Web".

December 31st 2020, Adobe ended support for Flash and Chrome was the last to remove it on the 20/01/2021. For a short period we were not able to show our force, but golebiewsky managed to download the game and make it playable through the Adobe Flash Player software. At the time we did not have the "Flash" platform option available and therefore set all new runs to Webᴇᴍᴜ.

This is a new day and a brand new era of speedrunning. We will embrance the "Flash" platform option and destroy the living bad word out of the subway surfer community.

Stay ravenous. -Oggy
