Hi! I've never attempted a FFVII speedrun before, but I'm inspired to start looking into it.

Anyway, I realised that the Chocobo Speedrun guide here can be improved, so I designed a method that requires 1 less hard reset and 5 fewer battles:

If anyone wants me to, I can shave quite a bit of time off by designing a "No Hard Reset" strategy, which shouldn't be too difficult. I reckon I may also be able to knock 2 or 3 battles off aswell.

I uploaded a mug of myself when I joined, and immediately decided that I want to change it, however, every time I select a new picture and save, the old picture remains.

I've tried different file types i.e jpg & png, I've also tried resizing the pictures to as little as 220 x 150, nothing works! My ugly mug remains as my avatar :/

Hi! I'm completely new to the world of speed running, and live streaming for that matter, and I thought Alex Kidd would be a good place to start. I'm nearly at a point where I should start recording my runs, as I'm getting quite good now (so long as I make it past that blooming glitch on Lv 11).

I choose to do the run on my Master System console, as I prefer the clunkyness of the control pad; it makes a few jumps a bit easier, plus, when I press Down+Right while swimming on an emulator, I can't punch for some reason, which ruins my Lv 1 attempts.

So, I've just bought (and waiting to arrive) a modded RGB Master System which also has a 50/60hz toggle switch (Alex Kidd bios). I've also bought a Dazzle Avid DVC100 capture recording device. I'm hoping this will be enough to capture my footage? I'm also guessing that I should upload my runs as NTSC, seeing as I'll be running on 60hz (even though it's a PAL console).

Any advice for a noob would be appreciated :)
