i wonder if there's ever been a speedrun route of any game that involved updating the game (or swapping between v1.0 and v1.1 discs, or whatever) partway through because you need to use version 1 exclusive glitches and also glitches that were introduced in version 1.1

@monorail oh what game is it?

@Felthry I don't think that's allowed anywhere since it's highly dependent on the speed of the install medium, people either use one or the other
@noiob having that thought is why i thought of just swapping discs, because that *is* in several speedruns because you can't not have it in a multi-disc game

@Felthry yeah I guess but it significantly raises the barrier to entry to have to have two copies
@noiob that's true! unless it's some really cheap shovelware title or something
but what shovelware title gets a v1.1

@Felthry i don't know but i know there is a speedrun route of a game where you use two consoles and two copies of the disk, just swapping the memory card back and forth
it's a gamecube game where you have to do things on different days, so while you're playing on one console you set the date on the other
