Since we've got a larger pool of runners to chime in on this, it's a good time to ask.

Would people like to see the 3 categories be NG and NG+ variants of Glitched, 'Glitchless' and Pure runs? [So all in all, 6 categories. 7 including 100% which we will keep as Glitched.]

Glitched: Any and all glitches allowed from the current patch of the game.

Glitchless: Disallows "gamebreaking" glitches - Wallclip, Gravity Fling, Megajump. || Allows Curveboost, Superjump.

Pure: Disallows all glitches including Curveboost, Superjump and any future glitches that may be found [after discussion.]

So these are all incredibly super difficult, but shaves off up to 1.5mins off Ascension. With a perfect run getting all of these first try, a full run could probably get down to around 15.30 or so IGT.

Thoughts on these?

Just a question as I'm wanting to run the game, does it have to be played and captured via PS1/PS2 capture for the run to be considered valid?

I'm learning by using the ePSXe emulator, and while I do own the game on PS1, sadly my disk is a little scratched up and softlocks the game in the Temple of the Sun.

Was just wondering if emulator runs are valid. Thanks in advance.

[Edit] I dun goofed. I just noticed the [emu] tag on runs on the leaderboard.

o/ Did this during a livestream for a couple of folks who wanted to learn the run, this is for NG Any%.

100% + NG+ tutorials should be coming soonish. Hope this helps anybody that may be keen to start running this game.
