Victoria, AustraliaPortic is the user that has been able to successfully (at least to your community) been able to pass off turboa's TAS as their own work, that you accepted initially, to which they would then mirror off from their Twitch to a YouTube Stream.
And that will happily silence anyone that actually points out that they steal TASes by blocking them from YouTube and their own Discord DMs.
@Axodo you are aware of this information as I directly contacted you about it in DMs. @MBisonFute you just accepted a run with no-video proof whereas their previous one submitted was a stolen TAS.
You don't need moderation from a person who cheats and is lucky that you guys accepted their run in the first place.
Here's every single text combination for each word in this title.

Dont = don't, do not, dont
Door = door, entrance, entranceway
Eat = eat, consume, use
Fart = fart, flatulate
Floor = floor, ground, carpet
Hair = hair, head
Lightly = lightly, easy, gently, light, slowly, slow, soft, softly, little, small, tiny, micro
Look = check, search, look, dig, examine, see, inspect
Move = move, go, walk, enter
On = on, wear, dress, equip
Open = open, unlock, push

Up = up, off
Washroom = washroom, bathroom, restroom
And from observation these are the fastest words for each award
First a note: "Log" is actually faster to type than "Poo" by a literal frame, that'll be the reason why that word appears throughout, this also applies to "Yank" instead of "Pull" and "Rid" instead of "Off".
Award 1:
Pants Rid.
Yank Door.
Log Can.
Award 2:
Pants Rid.
Log.
Award 3:
Log.
Award 4:
Yank Door.
Log Can.
Award 5:
Die.
Awards 6 & 7:
Eat Pill.
Fart Easy/Slow/Soft/Tiny.
Award 8:
Shit (you cannot do Log).
Award 9:
Do Nothing.
Going to ask you to be a bit more specific. Are you requesting something that is similar to that of the Tekken 1 boards? As these boards already have an IL section but only for a specific mode.
Done. Not adding PS4Pro as it shouldn't be extraordinarily different to the base model, just as a note.
You don't need to spam the spacebar, instead you can hold it down and get through certain sections faster.
Timing is needed to move just the slightest bit when moving past Molly's Room and the Bathroom as you enter them which will shave some frames off your run.
Every Day 2 will require you to go to the roof to watch Matthew jump. Every Day 3 requires you to go to the roof first to speak to the Boss and then walk back.
Good Ending / Antidote Made Work, Roof, Work, Work, Work, Work
Alone in Park Skip, Roof, Work, Home, Work, Park
Alone in Lab Skip, Roof, Work, Home, Work, Lab
Park with Daughter Skip, Roof, Work, Skip, Work, Park
Suicide Skip, Roof, Work, Home, Work, Roof
Murdered Skip, Roof, Home, Home, Approach Knife (don't defend)
Game movement is every 11 frames. Dialogue (ignoring selection animation) is every 15 frames. Better management / damage abuse at Judgement can shave some frames. Not sure exactly how RTA timing works but it's roughly 4:33.717. Under TAS timing it's a 4:37.67 / 16660 frames.
[quote=ZackKyMurr]Rule: beat the final boss after entering "wombat" as fast as possible.[/quote] Doesn't that make the entire concept of what Wombat% is redundant?
Also saving wouldn't be a requirement as a nitpick.
Hey lying about information is really telling of your character.
Especially when you're targeting Admins.
Try and get in contact with the global board moderators. Rules have been written up for it for some time now, but they haven't pushed it out yet.
When streaming/recording a run you must be able to capture the window to show what emulator is being used.
BizHawk is able to display the status bar below the game window. That must be displayed.
DuckStation will has specific requirements below. You are able to run without showing the window.
You must also state what emulator is being used when submitting your run.
Accepted Emulators:
- XEBRA
- BizHawk 2.9 or newer (Octoshock and Nymashock are allowed).
- mednafen
- DuckStation 0.1-6280-gcf760bbe or newer [Recommended]
Accepted Emulator on Mac:
BizHawk Setup:
Games can only run under the cue format.
- Config > Speed/Skip > Audio Throttle
If you're using the Octoshock core
- PSX > Options
- Select either mednafen mode option
- Deinterlacing the image is allowed. Select Bob in the same window. To verify that you are running with Audio Throttle enabled you must hit the increase/decrease speed keys [plus/minus] it will display a message on screen.
DuckStation Dedicated Rules:
These settings can be displayed by enabling quick menu (Default: Escape Key).
You must show settings of the core settings before/after the run, you must match these settings.
Settings -> Bios
- Disabled: Fast Boot
Settings -> Console
- Disabled: 8MB RAM
- Execution Mode: Interpreter (Slowest)
- Clock Speed Control & Recompiler ICache: Disabled
- Async Readahead: 8 sectors (53KB/16ms)

Custom settings are allowed for anything that isn't mentioned such as internal resolution scale. We would allow enabling "Show Enhancement Settings" to simplify the user end side. However, some of the settings do not appear if they're enabled.
Quality of Life Settings:
Settings -> General
- Enable: Render to Separate Window
- Enable: Disable Window Resizing
Settings -> Display
- Use whatever renderer you prefer (Recommended: Vulkan then OpenGL)

For the quick answer on "why did we drop ePSXe?"
That emulator for PC has not been updated in 4 years and despite being the "most accurate emulator"^ it relies on plugins compared to the other four options.
^Due to being closed source, it was able to get away with faking the scores on the PS1 Test Suite. Games that are tested to what ePSXe states it "passed" has outright failed.
For the quick answer on "why did we drop RetroArch?"
Besides the core that was chosen not actually being kept up to date to the upstream version (mednafen), the authors behind LibRetro have committed a lot of fowl play that it's not worth supporting outright an emulation development team who harass other developers and create false narrative why "they're in the right" (they're not).
Additional Note:
Even though this was focusing on Emulation on PC POPs on PS2 was brought up and I'll quickly go over that. POPs is acceptable for the first two titles as long as you mention you're using it and if you provide the IGT. It's outright banned for Tekken 3 for the time being due to the strong visual glitches, if that gets fixed I'll make an update about it.
You come here 6 months later with a shitty ass bump stating that I am apparently a "douchebag" and saying that "I think I believe I'm funny for it"? What kind of bullshit fantasy ass world do you live in where you think it's right to create the fake narratives in your head and slander people over for it?
Seriously. All I was doing was referring to the last time an emulator became defunct and new (slower load) shit took its place, but people overcame that difference.
Since it was such a bloody old reference two of you unfortunately don't understand what I was referring to, this is why AQLGamers decided to do a mocked response with the lack of knowledge.
If you're here to be actual dicks about it, get lost. Cause these comments show that you have the lack of knowledge and understanding.
Also for your information, I try to be as proper, blunt and forward as possible without considering to take the time to be funny DarkLizzard. Down to the point where people believe that I'm having a laugh when I'm not, that on the observers who make incorrect judgements on situations, such as yourself.
To reference another thread with a different idea but you'll understand in a second "Use this thread to link your run when you finish it and I'll add it! Good luck, gamer."
[quote=Natty]I don't think we need to allow more than one emulator either, regardless of the rules on the main Crash boards (and make sure mods update the CTR rules accurately if/when a decision has been made).[/quote]
That's a hard agree I personally have with, some other things are going to be done soonish™ for the broader range, but focusing on the narrow field that is CTR which is a lagish game, and is dependent on a few things, allowing freedom of what you choose as your choice is completely fair for the community.
Especially when you can back it up in that narrow field.
And srcom decided to update their entire site... cool. Not getting feedback about what done is also great.
Recently trying to get in contact with YetiHype to also exchange moderation to runners of the game, and people of the community. Just so people know what's happening.
This is a test to see if you can get a notification. 🙂
Unfortunately, the best way in regards to ILs is either to make 4 new tables (which makes it messy), or to sub-category them but that would only show Single Player runs as the priority.
As for full game runs, I did just adjust it for it to be separated and that should work. It's just for ILs I need more people to actually assist me there, and actually help out.
You can see a test on ILs at The Prison Break.
Wait you're saying that a more accurate core/emulator has more accurate loading times? I'm completely shocked. /sarcasm
You know this is the exact same case when runners were using psxfin as their main emulator of choice? And look at where that sits now these days in terms of comparison. It's the same "logic" on a different emulator, improve running the game yourself instead of complaining about emulation differences.
They weren't listed initially cause iirc those languages weren't listed on Steam originally. Since they now are (or I'm blind from the past) the languages are now selectable.
@AQLGamers if you're going to use the rules I set out you better unban BizHawk for the reasons I already gave you cause having the "cause it's a TAS emulator" excuse is pretty bullshit when I already debunked the reason for it. (Aka, stop preaching my stuff if you're going to ignore my stuff.)
Anyways. I ain't going to argue not doing the emulation/console split mainly due to y'all having that set out already in your style, but I'll give the explanation to emulation rules update, since it's practically my stuff being referenced.
To keep simple: The emulation update is admittedly to hit it on the knees and to make it slower than real world console loads, some of the emulators chosen, does have the lag advantage, and heck mednafen actually "fakes" lag in some cases, best example is compare a simple straightforward walk in Resident Evil Survivor. It's to incentivize runners in getting the console to participate in the game after learning it through.
