Setting Up the In-Game Timer/Autosplitter for Emulator
Updated 3 months ago by GMP

This guide is made by GMP and Smathlax. Please contact us if you have any issues setting this up, or if you discover a bug.

This guide applies to:

  • Prince of Persia: The Fallen King
  • Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (DS)
  • Battles of Prince of Persia

1.) Setup Livesplit: http://livesplit.org/downloads/

2.) [Optional] Right click anywhere in Livesplit and choose Open Splits -> From File...

3.) [Optional] Choose your splits file. (Check the Resources tab for the game that you are running.)

4.) Right click anywhere in Livesplit and choose Edit Splits

5.) If it's not there already, type the exact name of your game, i.e. one of:

  • Prince of Persia: The Fallen King
  • Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (DS)
  • Battles of Prince of Persia

[The Fallen King only] For your run to be considered an IL (individual level), the Run Category must contain a colon, e.g. "1-3: Any%". Otherwise the timer will be set up for full-game runs. For the other two games the category name doesn't matter as the script is the same for both level and full-game runs.

6.) Underneath the Attempts box ensure that the Activate button is clicked.

7.) Click Settings and ensure that "Start" and "Split" are checked, as this is mandatory in the rules. You should not change the script path.

8.) Right-click on LiveSplit and compare against game time.

Notes:

For each game, a split occurs any time you exit a level - whether it's by completing it, quitting via the menu, or restarting the game altogether. In particular, this means that if you exit a level unintentionally (or enter the wrong level and then exit it immediately), a false split will occur, so you will have to undo that split.

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.
