Generally an OOT sppedrun is at least an hour and half or so. So the speedrun will take quite a bit of space.

But 6GB for a 6 min video? You should really compress that video (such as using MPEG 3), that would shrink it down to only a few MB. You have the option to do so in FRAPS.

My codecs info is hazzy, but I tought MPEG1 is VCD, MPEG2 is SVCD/DVD, MPEG3 is MP3 (audio) and MPEG4 is DiVX/XViD/H.264. If he has a spare core (quad-core maybe) he might get away with MPEG4.

Start with NVN, then Fallout 1, then Fallout 2, then HL1: Opposing Force, then BG1 + exp then BG2 + exp.

Why? NVN is easy, so you can learn to understand roleplaying rules. Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 are nice, but after that you need a relaxing non-RPG break (HL1). If you haven't tried HL: they hunger mod, play that as well (it is great free mod spanning three free episodes which was so good they are releasing They Hunger 2 for HL2 commercially). After that you can try BG1 & BG2, which in my book are still the best tradditional RPG's out there.

I think this is were a flightstick helps greatly (used to love sims in the EF2000/F22 D.I.D. days when I had a flightstick) :)

To get trough those missions I had to setup my entire keyboard & mouse layout differently. I wish I had a working flightstick that time (or a controlled with 2 of those little thumbsticks) ;)

I didn't like Metroid NES, liked Metroid on the SNES tough. GBA Metroid's were too much clone's of SNES version for my liking. So what metroid classics are you referring to?

I disagree with that reasoning; there is something called artistical graphics as well. If you look at what Okami and Odin Sphere do with little processing power....simply wow.

It even works on Vista 64! But the process is a little complicated: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=180501

For Vista 32 it is much easier: get patch (ftp://ftp.lucasarts.com/patches/pc/Gfupd101.exe), run as admin in Win98 compat mode.

ya...i get 35-65 pfs on xp with high. But only 15-25 fps on vista with very high. Tested on the 8800GTS 512 mb.joeychew
You should use the config tweaks then to make the game look & perform in between. Some effects really make the game look a lot prettier and enabling them alone won't kill performance. For the demo I prefered to use a mix of medium, high and very high to make it playable and pretty looking. I won't be getting Crysis until it is cheap, I am saving for Far Cry 2 (it promises to be much more detailed and advanced indirect lightning looks awesome).

Nice aerith sig avatar BTW.

JP Russel: how can we tell if a game is using the DX10 code-path rather than the DX9 code-path (or even a mix of them)?
