Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that I am resigning from moderating. I assigned ALAKTORN as a mod since he's a mod for the original game and has been active here, but ALAKTORN, if you're not interested (sorry for surprising you with the role) feel free to re-assign or add more moderators, of course.

It's been fun! (Oh, and sorry I meant to verify your run before I removed myself as moderator, Buttholejuice!) Also don't forget about Ronin mode! I still never got to see all that many attempts at a real run of it! :P

Well I'm glad something finally inspired someone to do a Ronin run xD

EDIT: But should editing files outside the game be permitted, even in glitched runs? It is only a config file, but I'm still not 100% sure.

You're right Pokemon, there should be a split for the charts. And it doesn't work on PS4. I'll add more categories to cover this. Sorry to make you guys re-submit your runs, PMniac & Syena.

EDIT: For the future, runs using these exploits should go under Any%'s, or Boss Rush. I'll rename the current Boss Rush category as Glitchless Boss Rush.

On a side note, for whatever reason I didn't think Boss Rush would be a popular category. If you'd like to post your time as you recorded it rather than using the in game time, feel free.

Alright, the verdict I've come to then is that these runs which are seemingly faster than normally possible (new one today from PMniac) will need to be rejected until they come here and describe what it is they're doing to mash so effectively.

I don't think an exploit like using multiple gamepads should be legal. Also if the game isn't running at the intended frame rate maybe there are some quirks that can be exploited, so if that's the case, a run would only be valid if the game is not lagging, which shouldn't be much to ask for NSDX.

And thanks again for the research, ALAK. I've tested it with another gamepad and a keyboard, and can confirm that the exploit is only on PC.

I thought it was weird as well, but approved the run because I don't have any way of determining whether or not cheating was involved. IMO the best course of action would be to keep it that way until proven otherwise, but let me know if you disagree. Thanks for keeping a close eye.
