Edit: this video explains how zipping works with all its details (it should Sands of Time but the zip mechanic is the same in all three sands games). Only a few details like slow/fast rewind or walkwheel don't apply to this game.

DXWnd Guide (GoG Version)

1. In DXWnd, File -> Import -> Browse to your DXWnd installation and go into the exports folder. You'll find a very large list of games, Prince of Persia - Warrior Within (GOG) should be one of them. Import it. 

2. Right click on your newly imported listing, and click "modify." In the "Path" box browse to your Warrior Within installation, and choose the pop2.exe file. 

3. In the "Launch" box choose the PrinceOfPersia.exe file. 

4. Customize anything you wish and click OK. Run the game and it should work.

# Zips

Due to limitations in the memory allotted to the game's rewind system, it is possible to overflow it by exceeding a certain number of actions that are rewound. After that point, the game amplifies the inputs instead of reversing them for some reason. While zipping, the game ignores collision completely. This can be used to bypass doors, walls, etc.

# Rewind tricks

When the game is rewound to the exact same point twice, the previous action gets extended. Some examples include the following.
Extended jump:

Extended vertical wallrun:

# Menu Launch

By pressing the key to open/close the menu in rapid succession, we can get the menu into a glitched state where it is displayed without the red backround and keeps opening again even when "Continue" is pressed. We can use this state to perform various types of boosts/launches.

# Loadtrigger / Storycounter / Cutscene Manipulation

Loadtriggers can be manipulated in various ways such as rewinding right at the trigger, death abuse, drinking at a fountain, etc. It can lead to various effects such as deloaded traps, despawned enemies and more importantly, spawning storygate triggers that normally wont spawn without manipulation. Shown below is an example of manipulating the load trigger at the Fortress entrance to spawn storygate trigger 36, which lets accessing the towers early possible.

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/ynlwyle6.mp4

Cutscenes can also to be despawned by rewinding in a couple of ways.
By falling into the cutscene trigger from a non-survivable height and rewinding:

By rewinding at the exact moment the cutscene is about to start playing:

# Sonic / Supersonic Glitch

Sonic glitch is a state where the effects of the slo-mo power are only partially worn off when the slo-mo timer is run out. The way slomo power works in this game is by making the prince thrice as fast compared to the game and slowing everying down by about one third of the original speed. When a rewind is used and ended at the exact moment when the slomo timer was run out, the overall game speed is reset but the 3x buff on the prince is not, making the prince move at 3x speed in real time. Here is a semi-consistent setup that can be used to get the glitch:

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/4zj1l2zk.mp4

When a similar thing is done with the ravages of time power, prince gets about a 10x speed buff. A setup is explained in this [video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/52776763).

# Wallrun Extension

During a wallrun, if the sword is repeatedly slashed and rewound, the wallrun restartes at the point where the rewind is left and allows to cover more distance on the wall than normally possible.

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/1n88pvnq.mp4

# Quicksand Glitch

When a jump is rewound and released with a proper timing, the prince sinks a tiny bit into the ground. Doing this few times lets the prince sink enough to skip some storygate triggers, cutscene triggers, etc. Doing it exactly 21 times allows to roll under closed doors/walls.

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/3nvowyem.mp4

# Drop Glitch

When close enough to the edge of a non-hangable platform (which are ususally only found out of bounds), doing a certain actions causes the prince to not go into the "falling state" until that action's animation is completed. This lets the prince drop heights that not survivable.

Throw weapon drop glitch:

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/dz472rz6.mp4Drop glitches can also be performed at the end of a zip.

# Trap fall damage cancel

It is possible to survive falls from heights that are usually not survivable by getting hit by a trap at the very end of the fall.

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/qzp31rn3.mp4

# Silhouette clipping

By precisely positioning an enemy and trying to land in a same position as it (usually by a wallrun flip or my vaulting over another enemy), we get pushed by the enemy's hit box and this push also ignores other form of collision, making it possible to clip through closed doors.

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/5ng464nq.mp4

# Ledge storage

By interrupting the animation of climbing into a fence (usually with an enemy attack), we can store that action into memory. This storage lasts until another fence is climbed or if the game is quit to main menu. When it is active, if the prince auto-climbs into a solid object, the stored action is played and the game tried to teleport the prince to the location of the original fence. However collision is active during this so most of the time prince gets stopped by a wall. Here is the glitch in action:

https://www.speedrun.com/static/blob/pzm52xek.mp4

# Cancelling a wallrun by pausing

When the game is paused in the middle of the wallrun, there is a chance that the game ignores the wall collision momentarily when unpaused, causing the prince to fall in place. This kind of fall also lets the prince survive slightly more height as compared to just releasing the wallrun.

How to play PoP WW in windowed mode (using dxwnd)

1. Download "dxwnd" from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ unpack it and start dxwnd.exe

2. Right-click on the white space in dxwnd and select "Add". After filling out the empty spaces it should look like this:

https://i.postimg.cc/xjsJG5xt/vaI6tg2.png

You now should be able to play Warrior Within windowed by double-clicking the task in the dxwnd-window.

3. If this is not working yet (and if you're playing on CD-Rom), try downloading a "No CD"-program. ("No CD Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within v1.0 ENG", size: 2.3 MB). After downloading it, replace the POP2.exe of the game with the "POP2.exe" you just downloaded.
You now should be able to play Warrior Within without CD - this also made dxwnd work for me.

Edit: I'm on Windows 7 (confirmed: this guide works for CD-Rom and Steam-Version of the game). If you're not on Win7 I can't guarantee that this will work for you.

Setting Up the Autosplitter

1.) Setup Livesplit: http://livesplit.github.io/downloads/

2.) Right click anywhere in Livesplit and choose Open Splits -> From File...
https://i.imgur.com/MZNnn1B.png

3.) Open one of the splits files found in the Resources tab of this site (for the lazy: [click](https://www.speedrun.com/static/resource/hxlmt.zip?v=68aa8c0) )

4.) Right click anywhere in Livesplit and choose Edit Splits
https://i.imgur.com/Gfn4QAk.png

5.) Underneath the Attemps box ensure that the Activate button is clicked.
https://i.imgur.com/sSnDSf2.png

6.) Enjoy. The script auto-starts, auto-splits, and auto-detects category based on your splits file.

Side Notes: The name of each split is unimportant. If making your own splits, you need to ensure you have the number of splits the script is expecting, and that the category and subcategory (found under the 'Additional Info' tab) are set correctly. If you discover a bug please notify me (samabam) on Discord so we can fix it.

Updating Autosplitters (Pull Requests)

1. First step, make a github.com account.

2. Find the asl script you want to update. (This should be listed in Resources here on src).

3. Click on the edit pencil seen here:
![](/static/blob/xz0p68el.webp)

4. Add your desired changes and click Commit Changes.

5. Now travel to the Pull Request tab and click "New pull request"
![](/static/blob/kzw02qeq.webp)

6. Click "Create pull request" to send your changes to the owner for review.

In the event a script owner leaves the community, upload your script to your own github account. Copy a link to the raw file and make a pull request of the autosplitters code, placing your raw link where the former script owner's used to be.
