the problem is that there aren't physical copies and can't enter in categories cuz of that
That's a question for the mods, but they've been inactive for a bit. Still waiting for my any% run to get verified, try to guess what place it is.
I've been running this game for a while and had the same problem so then decided to buy it in the Wii U VC because it was fairly cheap, and then realized after a month of running that I could never beat the WR like this. While you can just press the reset button in the Wii Console, the Wii U doesn't have this feature, and you lose time (about 5 seconds at least) in blindfolded menu'ing and rebooting.
In other words: Wii U VC is slower, and unless we find a way over the reset limitation, optimized Wii U runs are no match for optimized Wii runs.
In MX RHF can't be purchased in Wii u VC, my unique option is buying a JP setup or usb loading, and the US RHF is very expensive
I used an account set up in the USA to buy it in VC if you're interested. Japanese copies are getting a bit too expensive.
Me temo que me tendré que armar una copia japonesa y hacer la Wii region free con prii loader xD
Not the same situation as OP, but I have a North American Wii U with a copy of the JP version of this game, simply because I much much prefer the original audio, which is massively important for a rhythm game.
The issue is, Nintendo region locked the Wii U and its vWii counterpart that runs this, and right now, it is a right pain to even get the game to boot on my console. For some, a custom firmware Wii U with GeckoOS works, but for me it actually refuses to run. My only solution so far has been the really risky route of replacing all of my internal vWii files with JP ones, then returning them to US so I can play my local games.
USB Loading I can see the arguments against, but I think we should consider allowing people to run off of injects of the game installed directly to the Wii U or Wii U’s NAND. This would bypass any of the concerns of HDD interference, and effectively runs how a VC install of the game would. I do agree that due to the lack of a spinning disc, loading times may be slightly faster on this method. So I think a combined VC/NAND inject leaderboard would help get a ton more people into the leaderboard inclusivity. These injects would also still directly run off of original Wii U hardware, exactly like how a genuine disc or cartridge just dumps a stored ROM to the console. It’s not running a third party software emulator on the side or anything either.
I literally have the genuine disc and just actively refuse to run this because of the harsh risk and constant additional effort it puts on my Wii U, just for this. I’d love to run it though, I ran the DS game for a while happily, adore this series. If the community needs more insight or discussion into the validity of this option too, I’d be open to communicate about it here.
