So I have the game and can play it via the Dios Mios Wii booter would a run using this still be considered valid? Or if I was to use Dolphin EMU on a PC?

Can we add some Julius and Soma boss rush categories? I've seen them done on GDQ runs after the whole game runs. The feature of the game has an in game timer is it not accurate?

So I have my copy of this game on its way here, the issue is that I don't have a Retron5 or a GameBoy Player, only a Super GameBoy which won't work for GBA games. So I was considering running via an emulator on my PS2 since I don't have a USB joystick/controller. But would a run be acceptable if the camera is on a tripod pointed at the GameBoy?

I don't have an SP only the old school GBA without a backlight, provided I can get an angle without glare etc, would a run recorded like that be acceptable? I'd obviously have to work out a stand for the GBA as well to keep shaking the screen out of the world of issues.

This is one of my all time favorite games and grew up with it and would speedrun it for fun back when I was 10 before I even knew what speedrunning was. I'd really love to be able to get into it again and try out all the categories.

Chances are the GBA to PS2 emulator doesn't have proper clock speed settings so I'd have to use an approved emulator via PC though if I cannot use the camera to gameboy.

@FairyQueen I'm sorry I'm not sure what you meant by that do you mean the in the submission process I needed to add something? Cause I filled out all the fields and give the proper links, do you need me to upload it to twitch or youtube instead of vid.me?

¤MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE GAME ALREADY¤

1. Start the timer at the same time as you press Z from the screen that reads "New outfit equipped"
2. end the timer when the game says "True end"

Does this mean that only the secondary costume can be equipped for the run to be accepted? Or just that it begins after the costume select menu?

There's already PSX and Emu but shouldn't there also be PS2 and 3? I'm running on a PS2(still yet to get a time worth submitting) and when I go to submit my run what should I put it as just PSX? or wouldn't it techinically be Emu cause the PS2 has different specs than the PSX.

How about there be a tag with the flag of the location that the marathon is to be held, like how users have flags according to their location. Cause most of these events don't have a place where they explicitly set their location without having to make a thread or sticky for it. It'd also help raise interest in events since there'd be a visual for users who are actually closer to a marathon than they would have thought and attended something they otherwise wouldn't have.

Hi, my name is Jacob I've from Lousiana USA and have the reflexes of a fruit rollup so personally I would say I'm terrible for speedrunning, but I'm trying to give it a shot. Initially when I heard of this place I thought it was just a big leaderboard for speedruns I've known about here for a while I had no idea it was this huge community though.

Um, as for an introduction I am 14 and am currently practicing Resident Evil 4(NG Pro Any% [PS2]), Bushido Blade(Story Complete, and Slash 100), and considering Ninja Gaiden(SNES Trilogy Version), Epic Mickey(Any% [Wii]), Sonic the Hedgehog 2(Complete% Mega Collection ver. [GCN]), and Tony Hawk's Project 8(Any% [PS2]). I want to kind of experiment to see what I can do so I'm trying to get a decent variety of games mixed together to get a feel for what I might be better at.

I've been watching speedruns for a long while now and have finally decided to commit to it myself, though I don't really stream most of my stuff cause I don't have a twitch following and my setup is very low quality. I am really interested in being a part of a great community like this. Honestly I thought that speedrunning was a decentralized mess of just streamers who streamed and a few that made into in the A/GDQ events.

Super freaking happy to know it's alive, well, and growing.
