Bumping this again since the mods have completely reshuffled.

Looking at their profiles, Smoke hasn't been online in over a month and Maxtermind hasn't been on for 9. They both have Twitter/Discord links on their profiles though so I'd try getting in touch with them through that. Failing that, the Speedrun mods should be able to take care of it if you make them aware.

That's fair enough yeah. I know I have only minor activity on the board but one of the main things that's preventing me from coming back to this game is the IGT inaccuracy.

I don't want to be the guy to resurrect this super dead topic and all but, is it not about time this game swapped to RTA?

I was reading over the old threads about this and the only conclusion I can draw is that the IGT is awful at accurately timing the game. A move to primarily RTA timing could surely only be beneficial to the health of the game?

what in tarnation

Oh that's awesome if that's the case. I'll test this out and see if I can get the timing and stuff like that nailed down, but this is a very useful tip for the second phase in particular.

Thanks for letting us know about this!

I'm not particularly familiar with the inner workings of the emulator but what's happening when you try to boot up the game? Are you getting a particular error message or whatever?

Anything you can share about the specifics of the issue would be a good start

Numulix is correct, the 0:01 runs are for unachievable runs, such as Massacre ending during 2-1.

I haven't run the game in a while but holding either CTRL or Shift, maybe both at once, makes the game run faster in general; I took my PB down like 3 minutes after using it. This is also pretty inconsistent because the MV engine sucks.

If you're specifically referring to load times between gameplay though, then yeah that's a hardware discrepancy, as mentioned above.

Sure; added!

Timer starts when selecting either of the voice options because they start the game. As far as I know both options are allowed because they don't make a difference either way.

Requesting mod status for My Big Sister: https://www.speedrun.com/my_big_sister

The current sole moderator has been offline for over 3 months and we have had no luck trying to reach him. While I don't have any runs currently pending, I have WR in every category, and every category only has me and the mod, making me the only active runner on the site who has played and knows the game. I believe that other people are awaiting their runs to be verified and it seems as if I'm the most capable of doing that.

Added as a category and uploaded/verified the run. Good job!

If you do a run for Bad End 2, I'll add it as a category. I'd need to look further into Good End 2 to see if it changes the actual gameplay at all.

I considered adding Good End 2 because it has extra stuff not in the base game but Bad End 2 is intentionally missing because it's essentially the same gameplay as Good End 1 without speaking to a character at the end, so there's very, very minimal changes to it.

I will add it if people end up running it though.

Title was supposed to say Qwerty45's run is stolen. Runner of his uploaded run is penguinz0; Qwerty has uploaded someone else's speedrun and passed it as his own.

What exactly is the issue you're having? Is the game not being picked up at all or is it another issue?

Bump.

Hey! What's the fastest way to skip through text in this game? Thanks in advance

I'm only an occasional runner of this game but I thought the explanation for keeping the IGT was perfectly reasonable. I don't get where all the animosity and confrontation is coming from?
