EnglandSorry but due to both how the timing works and the fact that on PS3 you can enter a dev menu for the PS2 emulation to change the speed of the game, it's pretty important that we're able to see the start up. It's fine if it loses connection for a few seconds while switching resolution or something that's normal for most cards, but if it's over a minute or two at the start I don't think we could accept it.
As in it crashes long enough to miss the entire start up?
Ps2 is the slowest especially when it comes to random encounters, Emulator is way faster and for most loads PS3 is a little faster than pcsx2, but slower for saving. No one has tested the difference between hard drive and SSD for this game as far as I know but it's a bit faster for DDS.
I don't run the category so I don't really have any preference. Just posting something so you know I've responded. I see no problem with Separating them into categories though, or maybe having it as a variable.
You'll need a definition for 100% and a run before a category is added but talk to one of the moderators after that. The closest thing that's been done is a Japanese all social links run.
You can also still get pc disc for like 10 pounds/13 dollars at most.
The custom difficulty thing is also on the Vita version, just on Vita it is only available in new game+ I'm not a mod but I doubt that would be allowed unless it was it's own category. Need more time to look into how much faster things are but menu's and textboxes go faster the higher your fps, this game caps it at 125 fps. (although this makes dodging shadows a lot harder as they go super fast). People are looking into new manipulations for fusion accidents and gold hands due to loads being different so it's not possible to say the difference for now.
Edit: Forgot to mention it seems you can't do the 99 corn glitch anymore for mirrors which would also change the route massively.
This is already known, it's in the guide section under "swap zipping". Thanks anyway though.
It's probably just because people/mods haven't uploaded runs for those categories, so there's no point of them being there if they're just gonna be empty. That said I do know there is an apoc run of Peace ending on nico nico.
These are the most up to date notes for doing Hard great seal (No Nyx Skip) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D3pHAsYjVzGiGnJWev_YYyEI1YX864uKeJZuUnvwgqk/edit
I don't know if Yogi has public notes for their any% run but you'd probably be better off asking in the SMT discord and making your own route based on someones anyway: https://discord.gg/bf7nEA
I have a guide for the BIOS: https://www.speedrun.com/mmbn4/guide/jclae
You'll have to find a way to get it or ask in the TeamBN discord. I don't know what you mean in the rest of your message but questions about the run I would also recommend asking in the discord.
Massively, All animations in the PSN version DDS1 (2 is fine) are at about 20% slower speed. This loses time constantly, I couldn't confidently say the amount of time it loses though as I don't run it.
Pretty much everyone uses a PSTV and streams using an HD capture card.
Yeah it is known in both FES and Portable (easier on portable). I think Mulsqi does it multiple times in his maniac run. Thanks anyway though.
Yeah they'd most likely be a pretty big speed varience due to both games having a different order to the areas you visit and completely different bosses/some demons. The only run is Dark Version simply because that's the one I routed first. Dunno which version would be faster
True ending is gotten. You get the true ending credits and final cutscenes but do not have to fight nyx or climb Tartarus by using a glitch to skip Nyx that involves talking to Tanaka on a specific day (FES only). Older runs didn't use this skip just because it wasn't known by the runners at the time.
Go ahead if you want to try we have SF2 info/notes on our discord in #resources https://discord.gg/0PziBiqBMMg2IhmJ. And feel free to ask and suggest anything in sf strats.
It's not exactly resource intensive, it's probably gonna be fine if you can run games from the last 10 years on your computer.
