If a friend of mine can make a patch for this game that removes it's obnoxious flashing, is that okay to run on? Personally for me, the way this game flashes when you use the "tiger powerup" or whatever is a genuine eyesore and I don't think I'd be able to play it like that.
I've got a friend who has been interested in the PS2 version of this game, but they are unsure on if they would want to compete on the boards due to the fact that most PS2 emus load faster than hardware. I know this game is definitely not popular nor on anyone's mind generally for speedrunning but I was curious how others would feel about listing them differently for clarity?

Do any of you runners have a server where you share and learn stuff or is this game mostly dead and without a hub like that?
Sometimes the various eggs in Garden seem to despawn, and I've noticed you can get most to properly load in if you move the camera away and then back. But the second egg with the spring in it, that one never appears for me if it despawns. Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening, or should I just accept my time loss to this seemingly random event?
Though only one runner has come through lately and went forth with pushing the manip strats in all of the Famicom categories. He doesn't see it as fair to have in the glitchless ones compared to the glitched ones. Full game manipulation in glitchless drastically alters everything about the routing and while it does make the game more skillful, it can also feel harder and less appealing than just dealing with luck. Having both runs with full game manip and runs without any on the same board may not be an appropriate comparison at all. And we also don't want to alienate any new runners getting into it who may find it hard to grasp manip, on top of a lack of guides on how to do all of the advanced manipulations. So while the amount of runners may still be very low, especially active ones. We'll hold off from including manip in these categories until some of us come together and decide how we want to organize it better for the boards.
Has anyone else been interested in throwing together a server for the game so any potentially interested runners could possibly get some resources together? I had thought about trying to make one but I'm not that great at running servers or anything. And at least one or two runners I know are definitely interested in joining a server for the game. Just curious if any others would like to go ahead and join in.
Went ahead and added a link to a server since a few people had already wanted one. Hopefully any potentially interested runners would like to check it out and get more help directly!
I'm a bit confused on what moment exactly we start and end time. I've seen people do it a bit differently from each other and I only followed one way but I'm curious. Do we start on selecting new game or on selecting Kitty or Maru from their screen? And do we end when the screen goes to the cutscene after 100 appears or before that?
