If you are not in the Mystic Quest discord, please read the following:

Recently there was a Romhack realeased to eliminate any RNG in regards of Pazuzu. On that Romhack he will always appear on Floor 6. Unfortunately, this romhack got "silently" released and distributed over the last few days and there is only a very limited way to distinguish the Romhack from any original Version of the game. The Romhack will be allowed for Speedrunning, however, they will be added under a new category which will be created in the next few days. We have to introduce some new rules about Speedrunning the game for the future to limit the potential of cheating. *

These rules we worked on over the last couple days will become effective (See below):

Romhack Runs aka "Floor 6 Runs": Just submit your run correctly in the corresponding category, no further actions are needed. All runs will be tagged as "Emulator" (Maybe "Hack") depens on what options Speedrun.com gives me here when creating the new category.

Vanilla/original runs: You have to proof your unaltered Game, you can do that after your run is finished (Reset the game, load a Savefile in Pazuzu's Tower and show he is not on Floor 6 [and Floor 5] after you talked to him once beforehand). *

• A final conclusion how to handle the proof will be concluded tomorrow or the next few days after i got a glance on the romhack by myself.

Unfortunately the additional measurements are a necessary burden for Vanilla/Original runs. No further Romhacking to lessen other RNG values will be allowed in the future. This will be the only exception for altered runs because of the abysmal Pazuzu RNG.

TL;DR: Tomorrow we will add a new category on Speedrun.com for the recently released romhack

So i have a question on this. I use actually Hardware.. I have the FFMQ cart. For some background this Cart hold some dear memories( the save files that are there are from my Departed Grandfather) for the 100% cata. Do we still have to do the proof and have a save file showing PaZuZu is not Auto on Floor 5/6.

I don't know, nobody is doing any runs with the new category. I might ask people if they still care about it.

Maybe we go back to old rules because who cares anyway.

If you want do some runs, just go for it.

Tybalt,

The proof change only applies to Any % so if you're intending to still run 100% I don't believe the proof rules apply.

New runner trying to get everything all sorted, so thanks for the info! I might be just completely overlooking the link, but how does one join the MQ Discord?
