I might. I'm pretty good at the archery games (thank you Socom 2). Does it have to be good quality or can digital cameras be used? All I have to cap is a digital camera.

That's not up to me, but I think it should be good quality.

You could always buy a DVD recorder. That's what I did.

Use a DVD recorder and then extract the .VOB files from the disk.

I personally think its ridiculous to have mini game time attacks as you'll always get "yeah I achived the same time", which means there is an accepted best which is easily achiveable.

Its like doing a time attack on Sonic 1 act 1 or a level in Mario Bros. Everyone will achive a simalar time i.e. 25 secs for Sonic 1; act 1 (I've actually beaten the TAS time in real money).

Everybody loves Hypnotoad!

Honey and Darling still aren't on the front page.

Another reason MM is superior for these things is that it records down to the hundreth of a second.

I was thinking of buying a DVD Recorder. What's a good one that costs under $100 and do they play DVDs also? I don't feel like spending more than that on one.

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

There's a topic about DVD recorders in the Tech Support forum.

I bought my DVD Recorder for $120 plus tax, and it works excellently. I could get you its name and stuff if you want. It plays DVDs, and can record ANYTHING with Video and Audio cables. (you can even copy VHS to DVD!)

I'll go put Honey and Darling up. Also, doesn't the Gorman Race Track have a timer?

That sounds like a good deal on one.

I bought this one: http://www.radioshack.com/sm-presidian-dual-format-dvd-recorder--pi-2151290.html

Mine looks a little different, so I am not making any promises, but the remote, and recorder's button layout, are the same.

The price is also close. 100$! Good for you Grin

EDIT: One glitch I forgot to mention is that sometimes the sound will get all staticy. All you need to do to fix it, however, is turn it on, then back off. It is a rare happening, however.

Wow. I'll have to go buy that DVD Recorder at the end of the month! It'll probably cost more than the price it says (I live in Canada :P) but it doesn't matter. I need a new DVD player / recorder anyways.

Good luck! If you want me to help explain how to get it working, just ask. My box says it can record from VCR, TV, and camcorder, but it also records from DVD player, consoles, and nearly anything else.

Oh, and don't forget the Butler race in MM (I think that has a timer, too) and escaping from Ganon's Castle in OoT.

I'd like to see that castle escape one! I can do it in a minute and a half.

Edit - Just timed myself on the castle escape... When I exited the door my time was 1:28 so that means I finished in 1:32. Close to a minute and a half I guess. I had an amazing fight with the two stalfos'. Tips I could give for this is when you get to the ReDead, hookshot him or he'll freeze you (this happened to me) I don't think you can backwalk past him and also hookshotting him drags you over to him, so it really doesn't make any time difference. Wear Hover Boots through the entire run since you will be doing ALOT of rolling. For the Stalfos battle I suggest using the Biggoron Sword. They die with a jumpslash then a quickspin. Thing to know about Stalfos' is that after you jumpslash them they backup a little bit then go for a jumpslash at you so, quickly do a quickspin after the jumpslash. Should probably be able to get under 1:20.

Not bad. ^_^ However, videos on youtube can't be submitted. The video quality standards are the same as always.

I will go get some fast records later today.

Eh, that video used the dialogue to stop time, which isn't allowed at Cyberscore, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere because then you can get 00:00 on it, and Dampe's Race.

2006-06-09 01:44:35 pm

So can you please explain us how you've got 0:55 on the marathon run under Cyberscore.net rules ("Epona must be mounted normally if used, no infinite carrots, no Cojiro hatching.")? And 0:00 is only possible for Damp'e Race I think?
