hey there speedrunners,

The community has decided to put a requirement on using the new loadless timer ROM for individual levels.

The ROM can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r_JkiJ7ZH6K6tZ3UhklHQl2dmHxUqqls?usp=share_link

You're allowed to use POPs and run this via a USB stick. You can also use the practice hacks rom for it. Just make sure to not use any of the options below DURING a run.

All options available: Select: No Clip Mode Triangle: Cycle through speedfists

Pause Menu Circle: Full Health X: Skip Level Square: Exit to World map Triangle: Instant Death Select: Make a save (photographer)

check out the other forums to find both duckstation as well as retroarch emu guides!

epsxe is an emu we dont recommend nor allow for leaderboard submissions.

Am I the only one that doesn't like the new location of the Category Extended link?

Why is it hidden by a dropdown menu?

It can be so confusing since both can have Individual level leaderboards too.

Any of these red spaces would be so much better => https://prnt.sc/23ub7jb (Or just literally in between "leaderboards" and "news")

Since the newest version of Retroarch got rid of the unfair advantage, here's a guide on how to set it up: (more info about it in "leaderboard rules" thread) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l7sD9_MfOXjFLtLQKEkvYChgCKNTqFNYxjS4riLAa0U/edit?usp=sharing

Follow up post:

Retroarch is now being allowed again aslong as you're using the newest version (current: 1.9.3). This version gets rid of the unfair advantage of before.

Duckstation was giving some issues to people before, so hopefully we can now offer a more reliable way to speedrun the game!

Make sure to follow the guide in "Guides" or set disc speed to x4! x6 or higher is not allowed as that makes it much faster than console.

I made a step by step guide on setting up the new emulator (duckstation). You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dB32iA-_1vKpAgFH612O2DiKRk1QRU61hgz9Tkgaek0/edit?usp=sharing

Dear Rayman community!

We've made some major changes to the leaderboard both for Any% as well as Individual level leaderboards!

After some testing, we've discovered that Retroarch was running too fast. Even though the loads of this emulator were slower, the game itself was running faster than console.

So Retroarch has always had an unfair advantage for Il's. (as they are loadless)

A vote has then decided to Ban it all together. We also did a full clean swipe of the IL leaderboards.

All any% runs have been marked as "Emu(legacy)" since if we had to delete all runs, we'd have to remove basically all runs :).

That said, we're only allowing duckstation emulator runs for now (when disc speed is set to X7) and will test more emulator in the future.

This has been fixed btw.

I know we did it very fast!

Il's are now added! Don't forget to enable ingame timer!

Sounds good. Gotta give it some time though before all the categories and IL's are put up. :)

There is alot of runs on emu already so np.

Console has faster loads anyway.

Don't let a leaderboard come in between you and a speedrun. Just do the speedrun if you think you'll like doing it. It doesn't have to be on a leaderboard.

We recommend using RetroArch as emulator for Rayman 1.

You can follow a step by step guide for installing the game here:
