Yo Obiiwan !!

Can you tell me where I accused anyone of cheating, precisely?

& can you be clear & tell everyone whether you're going to allow the use of computer mouses to play the game.

It's important we all know, because it'll mean to even have a chance to beat the Goal D time we're gonna need to use a controller option not remotely indicative of what SEGA intended to use to play the game, becuase you say so.

And if the answer is no, and you allow common sense & spirit of compeition to prevail, are you going to reject both Stella_Blues runs played with computer mouses or are you going to do nothing & let them remain.

Thanks !! Have a groovy Sunday y'all !! 👌👌

Hey guys !! I need help from y'all emulator boffins! Halp !!

I wanted to give Yakuza & Shenmue versions a go, however my preferred controller option, Razer Deathadder V3 Pro 30,000 DPI computer mouse isn't compatible. Very disappointing. This leaves me with only one choice, I have to play on Emulation, on my computer! So I've hooked up my $400 30k DPI mouse & made this kickass macro, which I bound to the one of the side-buttons, it performs a perfect 293 boost start everytime. Helps a ton! I know it's not really in the spirit of competition, but no one will ever know, and besides we're allowed to make up our own rules! The last piece of the puzzle is the emulator itself. I need help understanding what is the best emulator to use! I need one that allows me to manipulate the game beyond what was possible back in 1986, frame-rate is something that really interests me!

Alright, jokes aside I'm trying to make a serious point in this thread. Sad that Obiiwan & GemmaE (before she deleted her account) didn't even acknowledge my original point. By ignoring things & not setting boundaries it's a green light people to make up their own rules & do whatever they want.

Welcome wacky racers to our groovy leaderboard!

General conduct 😎

• Don't be a dick!

• Be respectful by calling people by their username!

• Don't go all crazy & insecure, alright! No crazy over-reactions!

If you want a run validated in the medal positions (🥇1st, 🥈2nd or 🥉3rd) you must

• on Sega Saturn Hardware please show video camera of the controller in your hand (or feet!) throughout the entire run!

• on Sega Saturn Emulator please show your live controller inputs via a suitable program, camera or both throughout the entire run!

Controller inputs are very important for showing congruence between inputs & gameplay! Without these runs aren't credible! Keep it groovy on camera, alright. No crazy stuff! Whilst we don't have many runs on the leaderboard we're gonna use common sense here & allow slower runs in medal positions.

Legal Controllers 🎮

• All officially recognised Sega Saturn controllers indicated on the game box: Sega Saturn Pad, Sega Saturn 3D Pad & Sega Saturn Wheel.

• On Emulator all controllers that can be considered comparable to the original controller options are acceptable!

Ultra-high precision controller options not indicative of what Sega intended to be used, such as laser accurate computer mouses, are banned. No precision laser targeting systems! This ain't reaper drone simulator!

Before every run ⚠️

• Please show the in-game options screen so we can confirm your settings!

Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) 😡

• All sneaky sneaky stuff is banned! If there's even the slightest hint of shady stuff it's not getting verified!

Game Modes 👀

• Regular (Gear-Gacha isn't allowed. 294 Gear-Gacha start isn't allowed).

• Gear-Gacha (Gear-Gacha is allowed. 294 Gear-Gacha start is allowed).

Gear-Gacha explanation:

294 Start explanation:

Gear-Gacha exceptions. If you accidentally gear-gacha & it provides no meaningful benefit, then common sense allows it to stand. For example hitting gear-gacha at 200kph & preventing yourself speeding up for 7 seconds is making things worse for you! Gear-Gacha on an empty straight for 1 second is irrelevant. YAY, love common sense!

Fairness 👌

• Respect your competitors by playing by the rules!

Credibility 💯

• Generally speaking if you want validation be open & transparent! Show off your awesome skills for everyone to see! Don't have question marks shrouding your runs!

Hello Gemma! Over my dead body will I be seen using a computer mouse to play this game! Imagine that on camera setting a world record run!

I've raised my points about fairness. If y'all care about the game, you care about fairness!

See ya on Sega Saturn, if you guys dare!

You don't gain credibility by saying you're credible. You don't gain credibility talking in some professor style analytical way. You don't gain credibility through association to some other entity. We gain credibility by being straightforward, easy to deal with, leading my example, not hiding anything. being honest is so easy when you've got nothing to hide. Your defensive rant says everything.

By the way. Thanks for confirming. You use a computer mouse to steer your vehicle. It's impossible to recreate this type of precision steering on an analogue stick, let alone a d-pad. The precision holding of turns is ridiculous. Hardly fair game is it. Refer to the recent forum post. This is what I mean about transparency.

Yo Obiiwan,

Why are you ranting about the board split? Do it!

You've completely ignored what I was talking about! You've put a lot of words in my mouth. Don't do that.

My post was about having legitimate elite runs on the leaderboard.

You're the caretaker of this leaderboard. If you care it's your job to ensure fairness.

Hello wacky racers !!

I see we're making a groovy Sega Saturn leaderboard !!

That's crazawesome & I hope y'all all go out there & play it !!

I want to talk about credibility, it bothers me! If you want to make this game credible, make sure the best runs are credible! Please be transparent when submitting an elite level run. Be fair to your fellow wacky racers! If your good at a game, you should have no issues showing your live controller inputs. If you've got nothing to hide you'll happily show yourself scratching your butt (Jfred), picking your nose (GemmaE) or smashing your controller (Marceau !!) at 293.

It bothers me doing elite runs against players who show nothing when playing the game & are having their runs validated. I see Marceau & Gemma both showing video cameras & controller inputs. Me, Jfred & new guy Nimm_One show video camera of the physical controller in our hands! Then we have Stella_Blue, whose only run is of an elite level, showing neither. 2 years ago I was playing, having fun, but after watching TokenTravesty stream I saw Stella_Blue talk about using computer mouses to steer the car. After that I quit, it left a horrible taste in my mouth, becuase I'm sat playing with a real console. There's so much ambiguity & manipulation that can be hidden. It's embarrassing. If you're one of these players, do us all a favour, get lost. Thanks!

I hope the moderators who care enough to spend time investigating my runs, played on real Sega hardware, the way Sega intended the game to be played, care enough to properly vet the elite level runs posted on this leaderboard!

Smell ya later, wacky racers !! I'm off to the groovy Sega Saturn section !!

Howdy folks !! Can we get clarification on what controller options are considered fair-game... on MAME (groovy rhyme yeaaa). I can't decide between my bionic arm or these wacky AI controlled s*x toys. Wild guess Xbox/PS pads are considerd fair game. Let us all know !!
