I have Remix on Saturn and the arcade on Astro City Mini to finally compete with Janet.

• @K3ftc calls out the glitch at 4:32 on his Dural run submission that's part of the same Beat the Game run. He definitely didn't do anything wrong. The mod who approved it I guess was Janet who disappeared and never played on Saturn. Is this glitch known and repeatable? How can I do it? If it's some very rare "act of god" that just happens on real console + disc, I think the other round time vs Akira should count double.
• Janet's Arcade Beat the Game run also beat Dural. Can @Molotok or @Tenka submit it again for Beat Dural? Mods can submit runs on behalf of other players. I want this competition as the only person who's interested and able to play in the category. Not asking to submit to Beat Kage. Seems like a very lolzy category but that's a separate discussion.

Edit: I fixed my math error. Janet's Timing for Beat Dural is 1'56"26 Beat the Game +

1. 30 - 10.03 = 19.97
2. 30 - 4.16 = 25.84
3. 30 - 10.0 = 20.00
4. 30 - 18.70 = 11.30
5. 30 - 4.30 = 25.70
6. 19.97 + 25.84 + 20.00 + 11.30 + 25.70 = 1m 42s 81ms. Total time is 3m 39s 07ms. The Dural calculator under Resources agrees:

Yo.. Thanks for the heads up on the Janet run. I have duped it to the Dural category as requested.

In regards to the K3ft run. Indeed the glitch happened on real hardware so we just accepted it. We still to this day don't know how to reproduce it. I don't have access to real hardware Saturn/VF1 to test. If there is a consensus that it shouldn't be accepted due to the glitch I'm happy to negotiate (maybe have it in its own category). As is, there hasn't been much competition and, not trying to discredit k3ft or anything but I'm pretty sure the run is quite beatable even without the glitch.

But yes, figuring out how to reproduce the glitch would be an amazing find if you can figure it out. I haven't quite dived deep into VF1 Saturn, but I have never seen anything like it on the Arcade/PC ports. Let me know if you find anything!

Cool, thanks for adding the run and explaining! I definitely don't think the run should be rejected. Just maybe adding time to it. That's a significant advantage getting 1 free round out of 16.

You convinced me to leave the glitch situation alone for now. It's not some unbeatable time. I'm interested in arcade but if I succeed then I may as well play on Saturn. If the free ring out can also happen on Remix then it's more fair. Maybe with enough recorded runs we can spot a difference for when the game will glitch or not.
