3 years, huh...?
Even though I did promise to "change" the ruleset once we experiment more, that never came to fruition. Also, in hindsight, asking the runners to specify specific versions is really a tall order to ask, plus, I didn't do it myself. So, I'm gonna make some changes here:
- You are no longer needed to specify the versions of emulator you used to run because it's redundant. Plus, load times aren't really major across original hardware and emulator.
- Removing the Discord link to replace with a link the MLP Speedrunning Discord instead of mine. It's funny, really. Since that Discord server was initially made to discuss about this game, but it evolve into completely different thing entirely. So, for that, I am going to close that chapter.
- Rewrote the rules toward the adjustment. So it should be "Emulator are allowed, The run must be of acceptable audio quality" or whatever.
That's about it.
After some deliberation, we decided to remove the exception imposed on certain minigames in Any% Minigame and 100%. This is because we feel like we treated these minigames unfairly to other due to not having an objective.
However, there are two minigames that have a special rule imposed on both of these categories, Rainbow Colouring in Chapter 1 and Picture Pizzaz in Chapter 4. Refer to the ruleset to see the new rules.
We have also updated the rules for the run of this game itself. It is now required to have acceptable audio quality in your run. This is to detect if there is any sign of splicing. Obviously, the WR, held by me, doesn't have audio because I am dum-dum. But, this run still stand as a WR for now. I will have to replace it with a new one to abide to the new rule.
Emulators, phone or not, are all allowed. This is a temporary fix really as we aren't sure if there is any major difference between those two. As of now, emulator are allowed, no restriction on which emulator you're using so long as you stated it in the comment.
That's about it.
