Hi, we've had a chat about this, and we'd be open to creating a leaderboard for the described run if someone was to perform it, as qazy suggests.
I plan to get this so i'll do my usual timing video when it's out. Judging by Analogue's past outings it should be extremely accurate. The only thing i'm concerned about is how it will handle HDMI output due to GBA's odd framerate. The GBA consolizer mod solves this by slightly overclocking the GBA, which obviously makes it inaccurate.
I'm hoping they'll go for something like adding an extra frame every now and then, or running it at the native framerate with the drawback of losing compatibility with some capture cards.
The hori controller would be the preferred way to play on gamecube, if it wasn't so damn rare/expensive nowadays.
legrandgrand and I have created a Discord server for discussion of the game, and will be putting up route videos and strategies at a later date. We decided this was a good idea as there appears to be a fair few runners popping up in recent months.
Looks like you just reset your game somehow? A+B+Start+Select can do this.
