Is there anyone out there interested in this game? I'm fairly certain it runs well on Dolphin. There have been a good amount of real time runs done and there is also a segmented run (with another one on the way) to use for inspiration. I thought about trying to do some TAS work myself, but I've been really busy with tons of other speedrun stuff at the moment. Almost all of the documentation of this game is in this thread: https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/eternal_darkness_sanitys_requiem.html The best (and currently only) real time speedrunner has a pretty solid time, here is his channel: http://www.twitch.tv/zwajken/profile The most recent segmented run and accompanying info is here (updates of the new segmented run are in previous SDA link): http://speeddemosarchive.com/EternalDarkness.html I would likely be interested in helping out in the TAS process if anyone else shows interest. I am involved in several other projects, mostly real time speedrunning, so I probably couldn't spearhead the TAS myself should it be started.

It's a great game, to be sure, and I'd love to see a run of it as well. However, I don't see much opportunity for a TAS to distinguish itself from the segmented RTA. If we're lucky, a TAS might clock in at under 2 hours. Count me as mildly interested, but I'll probably be on the sidelines.

I did a TAS of the first chapter (except for choosing the ancient). Here's the movie file: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/34930784808396479 Here's a video with the cutscenes edited out: https://vid.me/j1ug (sorry for the audio desync, I've never edited a video before) Ask if you have questions.

Nice to see more of this! Do you have to manipulate the sanity effects as well? So that you don't get one that cost time.

So far I haven't had to manipulate any sanity effects; the first few chapters don't have many sanity effects that cost time. I don't even know the memory address or what advances RNG yet.
