The PC versions of Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus will have a better any% completion time and I can't seem to get the games to work on hourglass. They are single player games that use keyboard input. It will be great to get them working so that Dooty and I can set PC any% records for both games.
Enjoys speedrunning, playing and TASing Oddworld games! Has TASed: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee in 12.06.13 (with Dooty) Oddworld: Adventures II in 20.03.78 (with Dooty) Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus 100% in 2:08:28.4 (with Dooty) Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee 100% in 1:05:01.65 Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus in 37:18 Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus in 37:15 Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus 100% in 2:!5.44.12 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee any% in 13:01.3 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee any% in 12:59.95 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee 100% in 1:04:16.27 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee 100% in 1:04:01.07 Currently working on: Waiting for Windows TAS Tools to work so I can TAS PC version of Exoddus.

Why do you want to make a run of the windows version? Iirc it's a port with no added content. It probably has different load times, but that wouldn't be nearly enough to publish it side-by-side with the PSx version Anyway, Hourglass is unfortunately very limited in terms of game support. It basically only runs simple games which don't have any mouse input. Even then, if a game doesn't need mouse input, if it ever decides to check the mouse hourglass won't work. You probably need to wait for Hourglass Ressurection

It's because it's faster than the PSX version and plus the PC version can beat the PSX TAS time very easily. So with this version of hourglass, will it be able to support any PC games like Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty when it comes out on PC?

These games are way too complex for the current state of Hourglass. You will have to wait longer.
