Hello! Its amazing to finally see die hard trilogy up on the website after all these years!

Just questioning why there is no separate categories for console and emulation?

Just cos emulation always runs faster than console and when it comes to regions, you might already be aware of the speed differences between 50hz PAL and 60hz NTSC.

Cheers for adding the game!

Love this game!

Heya!

Thank you =)

I've essentially based my categories for this game on other leaderboards I've seen posted here that allow run submissions from EM and OG Hardware in the same category.

With any runs that get posted here you can choose to specify if you've run the game on OG hardware or an emulator, but they're all operating under the assumption that people running this game will be running either NTSC or PAL roms at the console's stock speeds, and not using any settings to artificially speed them up and cheat.

All runs submitted are played as they would originally be intended to be, the exception to this would be any glitched any% runs.

I don't think separating EMU runs it into it's own category would be something I'll be doing for this leaderboard for now, but if needed I may put further clarification in the rules about emulation.

I'm always open to feedback to help improve this category!

All the best

Like for example i wasnt specifying speeding up things or cheating just basically saying that emu is always for fastest for any game, and NTSC will always be faster than PAL no matter the game

Not exactly true about NTSC being always faster, there are a few games out there where PAL is faster than NTSC such as Colin McRae Rally 2.0 as a great example.

In terms of seperating the game between console and emulator whilst we can do that it seems a bit pointless given there are not that many people running this game yet.

If the game gets more popular then I think it'd be worth splitting the two but for now I'd say anything goes.

Just an update to this, I have decided to create separate categories for OG hardware runs and Emulator runs :) Regions will still be mixed in both categories but the platforms will be the only distinction made going forward.

This is not due to a sudden bout of any kind of platform elitism or anything like that (I honestly don't really care about that kinda thing so long as runs are legal), I'm just doing this to keep the leaderboards looking neater =)

You must be right, too much of a mess, we needed some neat looking leaderboards. Difference between 11 month ago and now is quite huge. We understand why you changed your mind !

Or it's the age-old policy of divide and rule. It would be more interesting to try to bring more competitivity rather than splitting empty leaderboards.
