So I'd like the following turned from a Full Game into a CE for Colin McRae Rally 04.

https://www.speedrun.com/cmr04ce --> https://www.speedrun.com/cmr04

Any help?

Since this game is also known as Crash Time 5 can we have the game as part of the series and maybe consider changing the title to Crash Time 5 or having it in brackets or something like that?

So after doing a run or two and watching some of the other runs there seems to be a slight varience on where the run actually starts. In the rules currently it says when you click on the hints answer at the start "Yes I want more hints" etc.

Personally I think it should be put down to when the screen fades in at the start of the episodes themselves. In terms of the finishing point for each episode do we have an exact time of when to stop the timer as that seems to be confusing also?

So after the latest update I cannot add a game to a series I am moderator of. For context in the previous versions of the website I've been able to add a new game if it's needed to a series that I'm series moderator for without having to go directly through SRC staff.

Why can I not add a game anymore to a series despite being the series moderator?

All I've seen so far is the same responses to people which is go through the website but someone has already done that and been told that I need to add the game myself being the series mod but there's no button or option on the series page to add it so what do I need to do to add it? Where do I need to look to find this option? :/

So in the Arcade section of this game there's a story mode with 3 branching paths to finishing it and I was thinking we could have 4 different categories (1 for each path and Story Mode 100%)

Could this be added for the game?

I've already done a run of the easiest route for the Story Mode, this might help give an idea into what it might look like:

So I'm guessing I already know what the answer will be but if you were to use cheats to beat the games (I don't mean a game code to skip levels) then could you still do a run and it be counted in some regard?

I'm guessing not but considering how hard Die Hard 2 & 3 are compared to the original I'm guessing this is a straight no but feel free to tell me something different.

So I think this probably goes without saying but after doing a few runs recently with the DNF skip on the Challenge mode it's fair to say this brings the category time down a lot, however considering it's limited to the PS1 version only what should we do?

1. Allow the skip and let it sit with the other times.
2. Seperate the Challenge Mode Speedrun up into PC/PS1
3. Don't allow the DNF skip to be used at all.

So recently after doing some testing with DuckStation and finding settings which are as accurate as I can get them to XEBRA here are the settings which should be set for a emulator run using DuckStation:

Console Settings:

• CPU Clock Speed Control Disabled.
• Read Speedup: None (Double Speed)
• Use Read Thread (Asynchronous) Unchecked

Emulation Settings:

• Runahead: Disabled
• Emulation Speed: 100% [60 FPS (NTSC) / 50FPS (PAL)]

Display Settings:

• Show OSD Messages Checked (if a savestate is used, we'll know)
• VSync Unchecked

Enhancement Settings:

• Force NTSC Timings (60hz-on-PAL) Unchecked (PAL speed should be PAL speed and not adjusted by the emulator)

You can check the current date of your version via the General Settings in the Automatic Updater section (2021-01-11), and then post that in your description.

The following emulators are allowed for runs of this game:

• DuckStation (See the forum post for settings)
• XEBRA
• Mednafen

Any other emulators outside of these will not be allowed.

So I've got a route created for this game, I used this route when I did my Any% run recently. The route is as follows:

• Choose Cobalt SS

1. Taz - Races 2 & 3 Only
2. Ender - All Races
3. Nick F - All Races
4. Big Lou - All Races

Buy Subaru Impreza WRX STI (3000 pts)

5. Zoe - All Races
6. Sol - All Races apart from 2
7. Izzy - All Races apart from 2 then buy Transmission and Chassis upgrades
8. BBB - All Races apart from 6 (Go back to Sol and do Exchange District Circuit)

Buy Lamboghini Gallardo (7000 pts) and Transmission 1 upgrade

9. Earl - All Races apart from 1 (Go back to Izzy and do South Central Time Trial)
10. Sassy - All Races apart from 2 and 5 (Go back to BBB and Earl and do Lap Knockout races)
11. Webster - All Races apart from 2 (Go back to Sassy and do Downtown Expressway Lap Knockout race)

Buy Chassis and Brake upgrades

12. Orca - All Races

Buy Lotus Elise and all possible upgrades

13. Terry - All Races apart from 1 (Go back to Webster and do South Central Lap Knockout race) the buy Turbo 2 upgrade for Elise
14. Murff - All Races then buy Engine 2 upgrade for Elise
15. Razor - All Races

So after watching where some runs start (In particular the WR run on N64) it seems like people are starting their runs on completely different parts, for example on my run and others we start upon clicking start for the Hot Wheels Cup whereas on other runs the timer starts when you hear "Go!" on the first race so where is the real starting point?

So recently I did a few runs of the NTSC version of the game and found I was quite a bit behind WR, however what mystifies me is the fact that my console run was a lot faster than my emu times I did and it got me thinking. What emulator settings are being used by some runners as I'm pretty sure overclocking or 2x read speed is being used to make the runs way faster than they should be?

OK so hear me out, You go through all the acts in the game with any unlocked vehicles. This'll be a quicker category than the normal Any% although by how much I've no idea.

Would be easier to do plus it would faster as mentioned, any thoughts on this? 🤔

Hi there,

So for Full Season the categories are Any% and WDC% but really if you have to beat the championship without winning/winning the WDC but you must complete all races then surely they should go into one category shouldn't they?

In my opinion the subcategories are a bit meaningless when they are the same in the end result which is why I want to offer a suggestion:

• With Skips: You MUST win the WDC however skipping races either via retiring or DSQ is allowed (This would make the category an interesting tactic of which races to skip and which ones you must win) - Same rules as current categories (Race Distance, Penalties etc. but without the rule of DSQ/Retiring not being allowed as it should now be allowed)

• Without Skips: You MUST finish all of the races and become WDC no matter what (Winning races is optional and allows for everyone to try this category) - Same rules as current categories (Race Distance, penalties etc.)

Thoughts?

Hi there, So recently a lot of games have either allowed or disallowed this emulator since it came on the scene. I know that both MGS and Driver use the same settings to make it as accurate as possible.

Would it be possible to use the same settings for this game?

Hi, So as some of you may see now we have a Time Without Loads section for runs, I should just say for the record: THIS SECTION IS FOR THE PC VERSION.

The reason for this is due to a difference in load times between some of us (Most notably between M0mdeck and the other runners with myself being one of them)

We have tried to fix the game on their end and nothing seems to work to give the same speeds as the rest of the runners (And Vice Versa) therefore to keep things as even as possible and to keep things equal we have decided to include Time Without Loads.

If you have any further queries regarding this change, feel free to put them down below.
