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
Video of my retro streaming setup: ua-cam.com/video/scHUnICbpN0/v-deo.html
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.
Thanks to happy_srl for helping me with setting it up!

Dune 2 speedrun - Atreides Campaign (DOS) - 1:38:03
I was a bit disappointed when I had a run on PB-pace at an event by@RetroGamingLiveTV but the stream died for a few minutes and I didn't record locally sadly. So I come back stronger after 2 more runs presenting this one. Lots of gold splits for me, good improvement. That is the RGLtv run I'm speaking of: ua-cam.com/video/bwrmIQ4oDsc/v-deo.html
If you're wondering why I'm almost never looking into the cam: I run Dune 2 on one of my retro laptops, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT, with a PS/2 mouse. Also that is the reason you don't hear any unit voices: I couldn't get it to work on my hardware yet.
level timestamps:
0:38 Level 1 (1000 credits)
2:50 Level 2 (2700 credits, taking over enemy harvester)
7:34 Level 3 (Harkonnen base, aggressive harvester)
16:00 Level 4 (Harkonnen base, taking over heavy vehicle factory)
25:10 Level 5 (Ordos base, taking over turret, build heavy vehicle factory)
39:35 Level 6 (Harkonnen base, ghosting glitch)
52:35 Level 7 (Ordos base, ghosting glitch)
1:04:00 Level 8 (Ordos & Harkonnen bases, ghosting glitch)
1:16:00 Level 9 (Ordos, Harkonnen & Sardaukar bases, ghosting glitch)

Songs of Conquest - Barya 1 (overwhelming) in 21 rounds

Barya 1: The Payment of Debts on overwhelming difficulty Aleah's battle is a challenging beginning. It took me about 40min before I finally got past that battle. But on that one I got the best result so far. General strategy to get past Aleah: merge Tinkers, split Steam Pipers to get enough essence for Justice to take out the cannon. Starting positions matter also a lot since you don't want you...
Warlords 4 speedwalk any% (knight) - Campaign - 3:33:57
Переглядів 1521 день тому
The campaign features 10 maps. When you're done with a map, you choose 3 units to carry over to the next map. Also your Warlord levels up and you can either build something for your capital or increase a skill. I believe that for speedruns it's probably best to go for a Summoner Warlord, which I did. This 'speedwalk' took place during a Warlords day stream. So I was streaming all the Warlords t...
Warlords 3 Darklords Rising speedwalk any% easy - Drak-Dum campaign - 2:13:09

The Drak-Dum campaign is the shortest campaign with 4 maps. Technically tied with Thalassia, which has bigger maps though. When you're done with a map, you carry 3 heroes over to the next map (game determines the heroes). Actually I've never played much Warlords 3, so I decided to dedicate some time on a Warlords day for it. Warlords day means that I was streaming all the Warlords turn-based-st...

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 th...

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

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...

Last any% run before speedromizer 6 and it's a personal best. This time I didn't fail a mission.

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...

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...
