Indiana, USAOkay, so, I feel I've grown as a person over these last few years, and I think it's time I remove the stick from my ass over the 'difference' between console and emulator runs. I now believe it would only be fair to to keep all runs on the same boards without excessively splitting them like I've been doing.
I will go ahead and move everyone's runs as appropriate over the next week unless anyone has any valid objections to make about it. Also, I'm sure that there are some emulators that will work better for this than others, but I'm willing to accept that this will be a phase of experimentation and that things might need to be hashed out during this time if I feel a particular emulator is less fitting than another after actually doing the research about it. I hope that y'all can bear with me while this gets figured out.
Other than that, I thank you for reading this and your interest in speedrunning this video game of all time and I hope to see more growth for us in the future.
Ayyy, the madlad actually made a post lmao
Hello, Advin! I apologize for the rather late reply.
I do agree at this point that the option to submit emulator runs should be allowed, but(and I think you're in agreement with this but not certain) due to the difference in load times(my testing from before showed that 5-10 seconds was shaved off per load screen, of which there's a decent number of them, when running on emulator) runs on emulator will be in their own set of categories separate from console runs.
I may introduce restrictions on which emulators are allowed to be used if I find any potential issues, but for now I will be lax on any such restrictions.
Edit: I have now added in Emulator categories alongside Console ones! I am open to additional feedback as to how these categories should be handled in the future, although it may take me a bit to get back to anyone as seen here. =p
Awesome! Just to be sure though, it will be considered as played on emulator even though I'll be playing on the actual cartridge through the official Gamecube attachment?
Currently, I accept only console runs of Goofy's Fun House due to noted load time differences between console and emulator. However, I am open to having my mind changed if there would be a good enough debate as to why emulator should be included and/or there's enough interest from potential emulator runners of this game.
Whether you feel it should be included as a separate group of categories or that it should be included alongside console or even a different option I may not have considered, I look forward to hearing any thoughts on what could be done to fairly allow emulator runs.
I'm considering learning and running this game, and I would most likely play on cartridge using the Game Boy Player on my Gamecube with my Elgato capture card to capture and record gameplay through OBS Studio. Would that be acceptable?
Hello everyone! I'm just a guy who's a speedrunner for fun. I've already made my start on the site with runs of pretty much every conceivable category in Disney's Goofy's Fun House, but I also hope to expand into a number of other titles both obscure(like Trampoline Terror) and well known(like Spyro the Dragon).
I'm pretty new to the speedrunning community so I hope I fit in well enough. ^_^
