It's easy! Just press Escape at correct time and press any other key after the music ends. See this P1R file (seems like SDLPoP doesn't even record Escape key...):

Right, I can do that; added as 159.

Interesting! Not really a trick but a bug because of inconsistent room links. Should be fix for SDLPoP as well. Norbert, what do you think it should be uploaded to PoPOT? I am confused. There are several other tricks which are because of broken room links, see this for example.

[Norbert]

Hm, I'll add these two as a single new trick, that guards can be moved across broken rooms.
Will edit this post when done. [Edit: Done.]

[atrueprincefanfrom18]

This is not a mistake. This trick in any room you can do....

But requires broken room links.

Good trick-3 by prince777

It's the same! Basically the trick is the guard is teleported to the screen where he shouldn't be (because of room links), and depending on the distance you can do weird things with him.

I'm surprised. How can you play so much, admire and brag about a game that is outdated and has immeasurable errors and shortcomings? All the time to set and prepare levels based on mistakes and rejoice-this is ridiculous.

If you're not having fun playing Prince of Persia, you may simply stop playing it.
There are lots of other good games you can play, including many that are free to play (example listing).

Where is he

AuraDragon has disappeared

What the hell was that!

How? Wait, what?

Please somebody explain me how to do it!!! This is so exciting!

This trick is extremely terrible.
Does these looped moves confuse the game about the downside of the wall or what?

Most likely, the turning around back-and-forth and all that isn't necessary.
Probably the hopping position moves the prince slightly 'inside' the wall, and thus at the wall's location.
And if the prince is at the wall's location, then no obstacles are between him and the guard, thus the guard approaches.

I tried this today and it doesn't seem to work. I guess there's something very exact you need to do, anyone got any success? Norbert, you are gonna try this?

[Norbert]

Norbert, you are gonna try this?

Already tried, and I cannot replicate it yet...

Seems like an old trick, but not yet listed on PoPOT. Similar to 65.

Maybe it only works with the caped prince , similar to trick 83.
One problem with the YouTube video is that the player (Suave) does not show the viewer how to get into the trick starting position.
It's also difficult to tell what is the exact starting position, because of the custom environment graphics.
Various different SNES-like VDUNGEON.DAT files exist too, so I can't easily tell which one to compare with.
Anyway, I've been unable to replicate the trick.
