official TNL thread for gaming speedruns

Isnt' there supposed to be a card that'll allow you to hook up via component and play your xbox/ps2 on? I've been thinking of going that route for a long time.

I'm sure there are component capture cards, but I'm also sure they'd be significantly pricier. And the lag's a total gamble; the first card I got had enough lag to make even RPGs unplayable.

Those Alice videos were really boring. Done on easy so it really isn't even a viable run in the first place since it's based on taking so much damage and powering through bosses, and on top of that nothing really interesting was done.

Found some a nice Sonic Adventure DX run which uses at least most of the glitches and shortcuts that I've heard of.

Not actual speedruns, just a batch of new glitches.

Majora's Mask: warping to owl statues before they're activated.

Castlevania: SOTN: bunch of stuff (the video is for the Saturn version).

basically, having 0 or less luck causes your luck to underflow when the game calculates critical hits. this causes criticals to do outrageous amounts of damage, assuming you can get them, and yasutsuna has an uncanny ability to get them even with low luck. in the example weve been playing around with, the file has 10 luck -10 from a duplicator, causing the underflow.

Okay, one speedrun. SOTN in sub-18 minutes.
