option to mark as emu is no longer there for me, it used to be
plus some old emu runs are not marked as emu, think they were just verified as console runs, might be worth looking into
good, as long as emulator runs are labelled as emulator, since they could potentially be TAS savestate runs without proof of “live gameplay” (recording while playing and not just showing replay)
Was doing some arcade mode runs, and game refused to unlock the ending, since apparently the PAL version does not even have an arcade mode ending movie. This means that after winning races on all 21 tracks, even on highest difficulty, the 1 ending movie within bonus items will not unlock in PAL version, as it is the ending movie which is unlocked by playing the gran turismo mode disc. A website confirms this: https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/Gran_Turismo_2_Arcade_Mode#Bonus_Items https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/Ending#Gran_Turismo_2
So I suggest that following rule could be changed: "Win all 21 Road Races in Arcade Mode. (Rally courses are not required to unlock the credits) Timer starts at Start Game in Main Menu. Timer ends when the ending movie (in Bonus Items) is selected." It could be changed in a way so the timer ends on the finish line of the last race. Then the player can go into bonus items to show the statistics confirming they have won all 21 road races, as the game will show checkmarks next to the courses
Here is a video of a run I did: I think it makes more sense ending the run at the finish line anyway, it seems like all other categories do that.
I measured it on emulator for tests 1-4 and it saved me around 1.5 second per license, sometimes a bit less sometimes a bit more, it should be around 15 seconds in total. Haven't tested PS2 yet
tested PS2 first 2 tests and it saves a bit less than 2 seconds, so a bit less than 20 seconds in total
Just did a run on PS2 DVD, the time was 19:11.2, but I drove too fast and had to enter my name/record 2 times, lol. On top of that I made mistakes, it should be possible in 18 minutes on disc
19:07.70, 18 might be pretty hard, maybe possible, but at this point I might need to get close to my record times. Maybe I'm also slightly behind on loading times
Alright, also wanted to ask about this because it looks like nobody did it. I have an emulator run but it's without name skipping and has slow loading times, I guess I'll try a new run with skipping too sometime since it looks like I have better loading times with PCSX2 1.6
Hi. There's a possibility to save time by skipping the name entry screen, for example if u have fast times on the in-game records leaderboard and then in the speedrun make lap times slower than ur top 6 fastest times. What do u think about this? Wanted to ask because I don't see any rules about this
hi. i typed some times like this, for example if the milliseconds were 960, i would type 96. this would turn out as .096 instead. my bad! lol
