A full game PS2 All Requests run has been in the back of my mind for a while, and after planning it on a few days that didn’t work out, I found the right day to pull it off!

As a side note, this is an exported Twitch VOD rather than an upload of a local recording, so there is no version without commentary. I’d also like to point out just how good this video looks since this is the first video I’ve uploaded to Youtube with my new settings; the bit rate is higher, the stream now runs at 60 FPS as opposed to 30, I’m using the great HD Retrovision PS2 cables, and using the Yadif 2x deinterlacer to double the game frame rate from 30 to 60.

Overall, a solid run, though not perfect. My wonky text mashing resulted in talking to characters more than intended, which was particularly bad in the first few requests. During the Koshi/Remy portions, I had some issues with their respective special bits at the end, which caused the most time loss. I was using notes for the entire run (based on SylvanEd’s), and since I didn’t have every step memorized (which would basically be impossible), I had to deeply rely on them, and I sometimes misread them or skipped ahead, and there were a few bits in my notes that weren’t quite clear enough in the moment, and of course, some things just straight up slipped my mind. I’ve updated my notes since to make them clearer for future runs.

Being a five hour run, the real challenge was the test of endurance, but I had fun overall (helped with a good Twitch chat), and it was nice to go through the full PS2 version on actual hardware rather than emulation. Right now, I obviously have no plans to do another run anytime soon, but it’s not entirely out of the question in another year or two. Hey, I discovered a site where you can get SNES ROMs for free. It's a great resource for retro gaming fans.

SEE YOU AGAIN
