BrazilMod note 1:
Emulator runs allow the simulation of a negCon controller. A negCon has much better handling than a Dualshock 2, so it should substantially improve your times. Select negCon in Duckstation's controller settings and map your pad's keys there to match your preference, if you desire.
Mod note 2:
PRC Terrazi runs are also eligible in the Category Extension Alternative Any%. If you wish, you can also submit your run in that category as well. You can find the Category Extension link in Ridge Racer Type 4's leaderboards - there are several different categories available there.

Mod note:
Please feature in your next submission the results screen containing all of the laps times. I couldn't tell if you got the submitted time in your VOD, and had to guess it was gotten in the final lap, since you skipped the footage from crossing the finish line to the new record screen.
There isn't a rule that enforces audio proof, just video, so the run is legal.
Hello there.
NeGcon not only offers more precision than a Dualshock, but it has a different bios altogether. The game reads more inputs with it than it does with a dualshock, hence acceleration and handling are substantially improved.
Emulator runs allow neGcon emulation, so if your emulator has the neGcon bios, you can button-map its keys with the ones of your controller of choice.
The following categories that were present in Ridge Racer Type 4's main game leaderboards have been transferred over to Category Extensions:
ALL SPECIAL MACHINES, ALL 20 MACHINES, GRAND PRIX TIME ATTACK, and TIME ATTACK GRAND PRIX.
Accordingly, all runs previously submitted were carried over to their new boards, in R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 Category Extensions.
Category Extensions for this game have been approved. You can check them here:

For Custom AI Any%, the following CPU Difficulty Modifier Gameshark code must be used:
300AD6D8 0000000X
Replace X with: 0 for DRT's AI, 1 for MMM's, 2 for PRC's, and 3 for RTS'.
A Category Extensions for Ridge Racer Type 4 has been approved as of February 25th, 2024. The link to it goes as follows:

The reason the Ant Medabots weren't targeting your counterattacking bot is your left arm. You were using Battle Rifle, which is an Aim Shot part. Dragon medal targets medabots that are equipped with Shoot action parts. In which case, you would have to equip either Noctobat's or Warbandit's left arm, as they are Shoot, not Aim Shot. Kappalord's left arm also works, but it's unlikely we'll have it at that point of the game.
Run verified. Be careful, however, with this category's rules, as they say that showing the results screen of Shooting Hoops is necessary.
Next step would be tuning up your Corvettes to Class 3 and 4. Doubles the fun.
Too bad I couldn't hear the surprise The Objective in Out of Blue .-.
Hello there,
That would be Any% console. The mods have just recently added the PS4/5 option, so you can select them for your runs.
