Hello, as some of you know, i am a new mod to this series and i have made a few unannounced and unaproved changes, to which, i apologize.

So, to give the Tenchu speedrunning community it's right to make the decisions on the game's timing, rules, and some softwares that should or shouldn't be allowed, i will leave this thread with a few things i would like to change on these aspects of the game, and leave you, the runners, to approve of it.

First, allowing Duckstation to be used as a method of running the game, Duckstation is currently the easiest to configure out of all PSX emulators, is highly accessible, is highly accurate and has many features which make running the game more enjoyable, such as graphical enhancements and a more tolerable GUI.

Secondly and last, the timing of the iL runs, in my opinion, starting the time on the stage select screen is a waste of time, since you would have to see a loading screen to enter the item select screen, select your items, then start the level, to watch another loading screen, to then start the level.

My solution to that would be to start the timing the first frame of when you gain control of your character, and end the timing when you lose control of character before the last cutscene of the level.

If these rules are not to welcomed by the community, then I will not add them, as I said previously, I apologize for my mistake for changing a few of the series rules without the communities permission, if you have any questions regarding these changes, leave the question in the comments of the post. If you agree or disagree with any of these changes, please leave your opinion and argument on the comments of this post

a category that would include beating all 12 stages on N-Tropy Cup, Wumpa Cup and Aku-Aku Cup.

<- here's the run.

The game wasn't released officialy for iOS nor Android, only for Java ME, so why are those 2 platforms listed as an official platform if the only way to play the game through them is through emulators?

Would Retroarch's Gambatte core be allowed for speedrunning?

The credits on PSP are way too long, so i fast forwarded them, is that permitted?

hi, was wondering if i could use alpha touch to run this game since it has a port of ecwolf for it.

So, i was wanting to run this game but, it is not compatible with android 13, is there going to be a way for newer android players to run this game or not?
