speed___running isnt something a person must do in their lives. if they arent interested in it anymore then just move on?

@YUMmy_Bacon5 oh i just saw the toggle button for it and assumed you could disable it.

why in the hell is it there if its sole function is to turn itself back on :D?

you can enable the igt column in the "rules" tab of the settings page. you can also disable the rta in the same page if you only want igt.

yea feel free to dm me asking for help/tips making it if you want :D

ive been making and selling some input displays.

they are really cheap and easy to make. the retrospy website has a bunch of diy text based guides on making them https://retro-spy.com/wiki/playstation-1-2-on-arduino-getting-started-2/

but in short you need an arduino (ive been bying cheap arduino nanos from aliexpress) and an extension cable for the controller of your choice.

you cut the cable in half to reveal and then peel the wires inside. you use a multimeter to check which wire is which pin in the controller port.

with the pins figured out, you can twist the wires back together, slide through the holes in the arduino and solder in place.

the minimum tools required is: a soldering iron, matches (to peel the wires by burning the coat off of them) and an box cutter to cut the thick outer cable.

im up to the idea of making and selling you one if you want. just dm me on discord.

So I am wondering if there IS a site somewhere that speedrun.com accepts uploads from.

no

i took a quick peek at a run so sorry if i misunderstood how the game works. but to me the game just looked like you walk and dodge (i guess that is basically the name) so the only skill and what separates runners is your lines.

and the parts i saw in the video where you werent just doing that you were basically always essentially waiting. waiting for an obstacle to move out of your way or waiting for an autoscroller to finish. both do need skill sure but there is little to no difference in speed/time between runners, they all have to wait the same amount of time.

now, i dont now how you could change things to make it "better" because i feel like changing these things makes it a different game. to my eyes this game looks like a cool "The World's Hardest Game" type dodging game but not necessarily a game where i'd try to go fast. it'd be a game i beat once, feel good about beating the challenge and then be done with it.

but this is just MY opinion and how i saw it from skimming through that wr video so again, i might have misunderstood aspects of it.

i was told about this one

therun.gg is cool and i wish src would replace the splits.io thing in runs with it

@Noice

VC is virtual console AKA official emulation

BC is backwards compatibility. which isnt emulation at least all the times. unlike VC, BC also requires you to put a physical older generation console game into a newer generation console. VC is literally Virtual.

yes. thats what i meant sorry :P

create a level on the ILs and name it after the world, then make categories for the levels.

World A ("level")

• 1 (category)
• 2 (category)
• 3 (category)
• 4 (category)

how i think of it is:

any% for beating the game BUT only IF you can 100% the game

"Beat the game" if there is nothing extra to do/collect that has any meaning

All X to me would indicate that it beats the game while getting/doing All X so it wouldnt be used for 100% (you cant say that "ocarina of time all cows" is the same as "ocarina of time 100%" :D)

then there are cases like sm64 which could technically say 0 star is any% and 120 is 100% but then the naming would be inconsistent when you want the 1 star, 16 star and 70 star categories so it makes sense for them all to be named after the star count.

im not sure but i feel like ive heard or read somewhere that the any% and 100% that most speedrun categories are named come from the old super metroid scene but i could be very wrong, do not take this as a true fact :D

in the "first steps" is where i meant you want the "World A" in and in place of the eeaeaeaea you put "First Steps" (assuming thats the name for level 1) and the other levels in the world A.

as a result instead of having as many things on the drop down as there are levels, it only has as many worlds as there are in the game.

create "world a" as a category and make levels 1-4 as subcategories

that depends on the game and how active it is.

top 100 in sm64 16 star n64 is quite a lot different to essentially most games on the site.

most games dont even have that many unique runners

i didnt see anything wrong.

unless you were talking about strongest link with the "1P" option which obviously isnt intended to be used

only problem i see is that (from my understanding) the game currently is only accessible to people of the community. if that is the case then having a public leaderboard for a game that isnt public doesnt sound like the best idea in my mind.

but the game requesting page should have all the info you need:

https://www.speedrun.com/support/learn/requesting-a-game

only thing i can think of is becoming the finnish champion in super mario kart ntsc time trials and maybe attend a championship too.

well becoming the champ only took 5 days :P

@EpicNess i recommend getting the retroscaler 2x from AliExpress for 45€ it's a retrotink knock off but I'm really happy with it for the price.

use it along with an hdmi capture card.

the way you worded that reminded me of the old joke about how you could play bayonetta with only one hand
