I guess you can call me a variety retro speedrunner, mostly DOS-games. Most of the games I run are gems I played in my youth. I came to speedrunning because I wanted to play them in a new way.
Old games on "original hardware" runs
I got some retro laptops running Win95/98. They all work, but have different "smaller" issues (HDD, sound, ...).
Models: Toshiba Pro 470/480 CDT
CPU: 200 MHz Pentium MMX
RAM: 64 MB
Sound: Yamaha OPL3-SAx (SB Pro compatible)
Capturing my retro laptop(s)
To capture my laptops with Win95/98 I capture VGA & 3.5mm audio to HDMI with an adapter. The HDMI cable connects the adapter to a HDMI video capture card that I plug into my laptop via USB. It's a cheap one from BASETech (BT-VC-200). With this I can capture the signal as a video source in OBS, just like you would capture a webcam.

Songs of Conquest speedrun - Barya - any% (simple) - 1:13:55
I actually did this run a while ago. I wanted to improve it and also I noticed that I missed showing the version number in the main menu...
In the 3rd mission I'm using a trick I discovered a while ago to get through the "deactivated" portal at the beginning of the level when Hammond talks to you. If you click fast enough when walking towards the portal (spam clicking it), then you might get through it after the scene. From running a few tests it is easier to pull this off if you introduce lag. I run the game on the Steam Deck, so it seems it struggles just enough on max settings to make this work.
I'm not 100% sure if I should allow this for speedrunning, bc it might be very system depend...

Songs of Conquest - Barya 3 (overwhelming) in 13 rounds
Просмотров 4414 часов назад
Barya 3: The Binding of Contracts on overwhelming difficulty This mission has an interesting touch that your forces get separated from your allies. You feel you need to hurry your allies but get obstacles in the way. And a nice scene where Bihgli figures out how beacons work. When I first played the mission casually my allies were gone by the time I made it through the forest. But now knowing w...
Dune 2 speedrun - Atreides Campaign (DOS) - 2:01:12
Просмотров 5221 день назад
To give some background: I learned this speedrun during a 12h stream as a challenge for me during DOSember (that's a yearly retro streamer event featuring DOS-games each December). So this was the 2nd full run of the game after already 10h of streaming. I was pretty done afterwards, but it was a cool experience achieving a 2h run. I did run this on one of my retro laptops, the COMPAQ Armada A42...

Star Wars Battlefront 2 speedrun - RotE any% (Bonus) - 1:04:15 (IGT 1:01:34)
Просмотров 65Месяц назад
Last any% run before speedromizer 6 and it's a personal best. This time I didn't fail a mission. But there were some whoopsies here and there. some high-/lowlights: 10:25 my tank driving skills 27:25 tank is mean to me :( 38:18 what a shot from a sniper 41:06 I didn't know you could attach mines to doors. 43:00 yay, infinite sprint in one of the longest running sections. But sadly I take a deto...
Star Wars Battlefront 2 speedrun - RotE all missions (Bonus) - 1:23:44 (IGT 1:20:15)
Просмотров 85Месяц назад
A 2nd run of the all missiong category with general improvement in the space missions. That run beat the estimate for my speedromizer run. So, time to get consistent. some high-/lowlights: 26:50 taking down the droid army with Yoda 31:00 Pretty okay Coruscant. Not my best, but I recently struggle with it having to restart the mission. 41:25 my steering skills need to improve 42:32 doesn't matte...

My very 1st all missions run after I had a rough look on how runners do the space missions. Timewise it is relatively close to where I want to get (~1:25) for the speedromizer event. 7 more minutes of timesave should be doable. some high-/lowlights: 6:18 beautiful maneuver crashing into a ship 17:30 I did not get clearance for landing :D 34:25 bad decision to go for a class change... another lo...

Another run with coaching from McThumbs. Sadly just a few seconds of time saved mainly because of a defeat. some high-/lowlights: 5:15 nice shot droid 25:32 "at least it looked cool" 31:38 The floor is lava! 33:44 thank you for leaving space droid! 42:55 luckily Jedi-AI is not the smartest - featuring a mine 53:15 The team finishes what daddy Vader couldn't. 57:30 Overwhelmed by the masses and ...

Finally a run where I didn't fail too many times on some missions :D McThumbs guided me through this run with helpful advice how to improve my time. And faster loading times on my Steam Deck are also a better experience for all of us. some high-/lowlights: 0:10 I got the lantern! 9:40 team saving me from a failed mission, ty team! 16:20 rest in peace green guy 23:10 never go down the table when...
Songs of Conquest speedrun - Arleon - any% (simple) - 1:12:18
Просмотров 892 месяца назад
Actually my 2nd attempt at a Song of Conquest speedrun of the Arleon campaign. I had a long train trip and did both attempts the same day. The 1st run was ~30min longer, so I did a 2nd one afterwards. I did this on the Steam Deck, that's why I'm using controller buttons. Likely to be faster on keyboard & mouse. The route very likely can be optimized further and is subject to change with patches...

My first speedrun of this game after I looked at some videos of other runners to practice the levels a first time. In the "Any%" category we're skipping the space missions, but I'll have to learn them eventually for the "All Missions" category. My loading times between missions are quite long due to my old laptop running linux (or at least that's what I believe). I might try other setups, e.g. ...

My first attempt at a Song of Conquest speedrun of the Loth campaign. I did this on the Steam Deck, that's why I'm using controller buttons. Likely to be faster on keyboard & mouse. The route very likely can be optimized further and is subject to change with patches. I accidentally also captured my chat in the top left corner, whoopsie. Nothing was going on because I was offline. 0:47 1st missi...

My first personal best with the new route. I played this on my Windows 98 laptop which has GS wavetable synth. That's why the music might sound unfamiliar to people who know the Adlib or Roland MT-32 music. some high-/lowlights: 10:00 This is where the route change comes into play: I'm not going back to Bosque for a 2nd shopping trip, but instead go forward and buy the Sabre Oils in Llama. 31:5...

I'm sorry that there is no game audio. I noticed it was missing in the beginning, but could only fix it for myself. I'm running the version 1.0 of the game on my retro Win98 laptop, therefore it's running a bit slower in some sections. There are fanmade patches of the game running on modern hardware, but I'm fine showing off the old stuff. some high-/lowlights: 2:30 Awesome red castle, but almo...

The Moonstone glitched out again. This could have been much faster. This happened to me before, so I should have known not to throw the knives after I killed the Guardian. Oh well, at least it wasn't that great of a run. some low-/highlights: 10:55 I found the 2nd key in the last possible lair, bad luck. 13:46 I found the 4th key in the first possible lair, good luck! 15:03 Do not throw knives ...
