Just thought I'd say this because some emulator runners are intentionally letting the final cutscene play out. It adds to your final in-game time so you're gonna be wanting to skip it.

Okay, so this has been something that's been bugging some people verifying for a while now. Music placed over runs. The term "drowning out" is too ambiguous. What classifies as 'drowning out'? It's different to different people, and therein lies the problem.

Music is from this point onwards not allowed on run submissions, period, under any circumstances. If you want to listen to music whilst doing runs then use a virtual audio cable, listen to it through other means, or find another way to directly capture a video of your run without anything but Microphone and Game Audio.

We don't need additional work to try determine if audio lines up whilst listening to blaring rock music or pop music in the background that makes it ten times harder to do so. Sorry it had to come to this.

So this guy did Knife Only:

Including both Final Jack + Final Boss, ignoring the Albert of course but really it's no different to the Rocket Launcher in REmake or the Linear Launcher in CVX.

So yes, melee only is possible. However some sections seem to be flat out impossible Knife Only, mainly the pit you get knocked into in the Old House and Margarete throws Bees at you. In this instance you're forced to use a gun.

So I've looked at the IGT for Parasite Eve 1 today, and discovered it does not count loads for doors.

Just curious, considering this, why RTA was the chosen platform for running this game? Considering you have a method where runs can practically be equal regardless of platform/emulator.

Here is an example:
