This section explains how to time your runs in real-time using splits software. It is important to remember these programs have no effect on what the time of your actual run is and they only exist for convenience (i.e. forgetting to split when you grab the star won't make your run any slower). However, following this guide should make it so that it is as accurate as possible. | This section explains how to time your runs in real-time using splits software.

There is an | There is an [https://autosplit64.com/ autosplitter] that many people use, which can detect resets, door touches (x-cam), the end of the run as well as the usual fadeouts after stars. It is strongly recommended to set this up as it is very convenient and accurate and will save you (and the mods) a lot of headache. | ||

For manually starting the timer, you can use the offsets | For manually starting the timer, you can use the offsets so that you can hit the power on switch/reset button at the same time that you start your times. Keep in mind these offsets are still prone to human error and possibly differences in setups, so you might want to test and tweak these offsets to match your setup. For power on a typical offset is to start your timer at -1.00. | ||
