You first have to download and unpack "RADTools" from here or directly from the radgametools website. Then you open radvideo.exe, go to the T2T video folder (.bik files) and select a file.
- By double clicking the file, you can watch it.
- By clicking on "File info", another window with all relevant infos regarding the selected file will open. For timing purposes, you need the number of frames and divide it by the Frames per Second number (usually 29.97) to know how long the respective movie is in seconds.
This is useful if you don't play on PC but you still want to know what your time is according to the leaderboard timing (without movie cutscenes, which also includes game over screens, loading screens, upgrade screens, ...).
Note: Unlike in the Warrior Within .bik guide, you don't need NovaExtractor for the T2T .bik files.
Edit: Alternatively, you can use this cutscene info spreadsheet which contains all relevant information.
You first have to download and unpack "NovaExtractor" and "RADTools" from here. The rest is explained in this video. Note that you have to start NovaExtractor as admin for the extracted video files to show up in the folder you selected.

This one is for the full mods/staff I guess, if I suspect two accounts on this site to be owned by the same person, is there someway to communicate that so a full mod can look into that? Is there maybe a thread for that already? Or is that maybe (a) not relevant or (b) not against the site rules? (since it's "just" kind of a secondary account and not ban evasion). Just curious, thanks in advance :)
Hey! I'm running the german PS2 version for this game and as you see here , the "concept" of the game is completely different compared to the (NTSC) runs on the board. That's why it would be nice to have a Any% PS2 category (since the PC version, at least the one I know, is different from this again, see here ; the at least german PS1 is in the same style aswell, click here )
So do you think it's better to request a completely new game for this or would seperate categories for PAL on this board make more sense to you? Greetings, tocaloni1
Edit: found the british version, so WWTBAM 2nd edition PAL seems to be one game regardless of language.
The Prince of Persia Community (including me) will hold a marathon for PoP games on 21-23 Oct '16 and for the sake of attention and having a central organisation point, a page for that marathon would be cool. Thanks in advance :)
I saw that you can set games as pre-releases (betas) of other games like the Crash Bandicoot Beta does: I tried to do this for the Beta of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time aswell ( http://www.speedrun.com/pop_sot_beta ), but the pre-release-option is greyed out and I can't click on it (as can be seen here) Hope, someone can help me with that :)

If you want this spreadsheet for yourself and if you have a google account, you can select 'Data > Make copy' (since this file is protected for obvious reasons).
Notes: - you can keep track of the cards you already got (column 'C').
- Also you're able to sort the table by card colour, name or location (little symbols in row 1).
- Finally, there's a box that tells you how many cards you already obtained provided you filled out column 'C' correctly.
Thanks to Pull for giving me a raw file he made with all the cards and where to obtain them which I converted into this sheet :)
Some guy on youtube I found you just recently found skips for UC3 (PS4) and some stuff for the other games. Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYM5Mj0KlEw3YDJb0AGSK1V32epR84MWa
So it's official now, fast forwarding gives you an unfair advantage since the game runs faster, if your hardware is better. For example I got a sick run on a 4 core PC which was 15:13, on my 8 core PC I got a sick run which was 13:03. The difference in timing is too huge to be related to misplaying or something - it has to be the difference in hardware specs.
What to do now? I don't want to ban fast forwarding completely, since any% would be 1 hour then with doing nothing 90% of the time = boring as fuck I thought of using external FPS limiters (IF the games FPS goes above 60 in the fast forwarding sections). Any idea so save the any% category is appreciated. Because getting rekkie just because one has a better PC is obviously super unfair.
I just discovered that you can do Mission 8 DIRECTLY after you did Mission 1. The reason is the button "Next Mission" after a mission (the screen where you see how many points you got in a mission). If you press this button 7 times before the screen goes black, the game will actually send you from mission 1 to mission 1+7=8!
Video following. I wonder if this will be an available/allowed glitch in any%. I personally would say yes because you would still complete the campaign with doing the 8th and last mission. But I'd be curious what you guys think about this skip! (Campaign run would be 30 minutes or something then?)
