Hi! I’ve recently been taking a break from sm64 runs and wanted to try running any% on my english 1.2 cart. I learned how to perform language change srm from MrCheeze’s video, but can’t seem to find any setups or tutorials for 1.2 ace. If anybody knows of any tutorials or wiki guides that would help that’d be great. Thanks! :)
This is a tutorial for the most recent route with lightnode SRM, ask the discord if you have any other questions https://discord.gg/7FYGh3d
The platform shouldn't matter, it's mainly the version. As long as you are on v1.2, then the setup should work for you :)
In one of the comments, the guy says it won’t work on Wii U vc, but that is also 1.2 (I think). Does that mean there are different setups for n64, GameCube, wii, and Wii U 1.2?
The Any% route/tutorial linked before is the fastest current setup and only works on Wii VC. No other platform will work. If you're not on Wii VC there are some different but slower setups for you. Sounds like you're on N64, so this tutorial will be fine up until the final angle setup, but you'll need a different filename. For N64 you also can't pause in the shop, you have to pause after leaving. Check out this video by MrCheeze for the filename (description) , and check out the fastest N64 run, by mkbgnr, for an example of an optimal run.
Cheeze puts the filename in Hex, you can convert it to filename characters with this tool: https://lemon32767.github.io/ootfname
Also definitely recommend signing up for discord just to join ours. If its your first speedrun of this game you'll probably have a pretty tough time learning the route on your own without experienced eyes on your mistakes. But of course it's up to you.
Yes I’m on n64 and use the 1.2 cart.
Thx for the help! :)
I’ll try to join the discord soon, I just need to convince my parents to let me first lol
I used to do defeat ganon (any% then) all the time with my friends about 4-5 years ago so coming back feels really good
Finished a couple any% runs last night :)
I was doing everything right before, except I kept pausing in the shop to equip stuff lol
I’m on English cart which means I’ll have to do language change srm first, and then do any%. I’ll try to get a run under 30min before I submit anything.
Two new categories are here after being promoted from the extensions leaderboard.
Classic Kakariko Route: This is the old Any% route from pre-2015 that can be found under the Defeat Ganon tab. It features traditional gameplay many are familiar with and is great to start out with as a new runner
