From what I understand, ps2 emulators can't really run ps1 games, so that's the reason for that. Not to mention that most emulators are made so people can casually play a game rather than it accurate to the hardware itself. So if a ps2 emulator would work, more than likely it'd load faster than official hardware.

As for emulators we use, at the moment I am using ePSXe 2.0.5. I'm certain that's what other people are using, but that's what I am. I hope this helps :)

Very fair. Don't know the load times for ps3 but yeah, ps3 should work, but NTSC emulator is the way most people run it because it's the easiest way to do it. But if you want to run on a ps3 then that should be alright

And you're right Greenferret, I probably should remove the psp haha. It was on there since before I became a mod here and I've just left it on.

Just wondering, what is the take on using a modded console for runs? Specifically using a modded ps2 to remove region locking. I understand it would be on a game by game basis, but I just wanted other people's opinion on it.

Cool cool. Cheers as!

Having a look through, it looks more like a snes port than a genesis port. Would this change the timing as well?

Yo, I found this game on steam, Could we somehow make a category for it on the leaderboards?

Also, Wrong warp would only allow you to skip out on doing the race leagues and stuff for hundo. So sure, in hundo wrong warp is allowed and negates at least 20-30 mins of time, but that's about it. Wrong warp does not actually send you to 'The End' unfortunately.

@Mruns05 As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been an any% category for this game ever. This is due to it being a fairly obselete because the only way to get to the end of the game is to 100% it (as far as I'm aware).

Hey all,

So I've recently turned on verifying runs as a few times we've had a couple of trolls here putting down outlandish times and stuff like that. This means when you submit a run, a moderator will need to verify it before it gets put on the leaderboards (like most communities do anyways, but I digress).

I'm mainly putting this message out here to let you all know that if you submit a run and it hasn't been verified in a couple of days, jump on the discord and chuck a message there. Cyberdemon or I will be able to see those messages there and we can get to it ASAP.

Also @Jinxx + @Scotts, its great to see more people running the game, but if it's possible, would you be able to have video of the runs itself? I know it's not requirement as of yet, but it's just better for the overall boards if there are video proof of the run

@PUMA That's completely fair. I only really had Wrong Warp as a category cos it was new at the time but it doesn't really serve a purpose. I'll get rid of that. Also, I really do like the idea of individual tournament league boards. If others are down for that then I can add them as sub categories on the race leagues tab

@Jinxx As far as I know, the characters themselves don't give stats but the cars do. However the characters do have their own special move, so most people end up going with a character that has a fairly annoying special move (such as Floyd/Gonzo/Johnny Fiamma etc) + the sportster to make it less likely that the AI will have a character like that. That being said, there are so many people with really annoying special moves so it doesn't matter much at all really. You're more than likely gonna be paired up with a few people with annoying specials.

Haha, that's all good. I would have done the same thing.

And I'm glad you bopped me again. Gives me a reason to keep on grinding the category

I just checked and yeah, that's my bad. In the Youtube video it said 770, I just did an oopsie on the leaderboards. Real sorry man. I'll do better next next time. I've fixed it up now.

Also, checking the picture? That's fuckin mad as. Good on ya there dude. Keen to see the run

Hey @BigSizzle, as far as I'm aware there doesn't seem to be a discord or group chat at all. Seeing as this is a small speedgame (small as in runners that actively play it) I'm not sure people had thought it necessary. If there were any questions or discoveries about things then people would put them here. But if you'd like (and if there were a few other people interested), we could definitely get something sorted out :)

Alright so I've had a chat with Cyberdemon531 and I've become a mod. I do want to implement some changes to the leaderboards, but I'd like anyone in this tiny community to put their ideas forward. I'll be listing some of the changes that I'd like to implement here

So first up, I want to make Race Leagues to be the home category, so the first one that pops up after you click on the game. This is due to it's bigger popularity, higher optimised times, and the fact it's probably one of (if not the most) interesting run on the leaderboard.

Next, I want to add the 3 Lap times to the IL leaderboards because that would make things a lot cooler in the IL categories. Also, I want to make it so the IL categories should have videos for their times, rather than just pictures of the time, because it would allow other people to view the laps and allow themselves to improve.

Another thing I want to do is streamline the tabs in the full game leaderboards. This would be like, merging the all stunts and reverse stunts tabs into 1 tab called All Stunts, and then we implement a sub tab in that with standard or reverse.

These are some of the ideas I've got. If anyone has any opinions and or changes you want to add, please put them in the forum post and we'll review them as a community and get a consensus. I wont be implementing these changes until about a weekish after this post, just so we can get as many people to give their opinion and see what we might want to change.

Thanks all :)

I mean true, it does get annoying, but that's why I want the 3 lap categories as well as the 1 laps. Cos then we get the best of both worlds (the fast paced single lap, and then the fast as consistent 3 laps)

I've been looking through the IL category leaderboards, and I feel we should add a 3 lap category to both the standard and reverse races. I dunno, I just reckon it'd be interesting because then in a few levels (such as Happiness Hotel and Graveyard) we can use specific strats that will only work on a second/third lap. What are your thoughts?

Thanks guys. I'll give it a whirl

@Moisty_Lettuce and @Moisty_Cabbage

I've been trying that Mallory Gallery clip for ages and I can get it sometimes, but not as consistent as you guys. How do you get it so consistent? Is it about lining things up to the wall or what?

Yeah, you can get out of special moves faster if you hold R2 during the special move. You usually lose about 5 seconds due to a special move, but holding down R2 slashes that time loss down by about half. However, it does use up some of your fruit if you do it so sometimes it's not worth (in specific areas like if you get specialed just before or during the water part in Dock).
