Turns out that Current and Legacy Rulesets didn't need to be done as a sub-category. I de-verified all runs in the ILs, deleted the sub-categories, re-added them but as a column to track these and verified the runs to their proper ruleset.
We don't allow mods, we only track content that it's in the original game.

Since TSC is back I re-added the rankings for Sonic 1 2013 to the board for more competition, such as rings and scores.
I'll be honest I know nothing about mobile emulators. From what I have heard from another mod who knows these things that they are slow and drop frames. If it shows that it's accurate and runs well as mGBA or BizHawk with the mGBA core, then it should be fine. Is there any way you could show a video of this?

I don't see why not since I recently brought the game on there and it seems fine. When submitting just put it under Android.
Random Items and No Random Items have been added as sub-categories.
It doesn't work like that. Not all missions can be added because they don't show a time at the end of it.
First of all do you have any videos of IL's. We generally don't put leader boards up unless there are a couple of runs, so that we don't have empty boards.
We are currently discussing it atm. We'll let you know what's happening soon.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to finish off the board this weekend. I'll have to do that when I can, which will include adding the new sub category.
It's not, it's been put back. I did say I'll be sorting out the boards this weekend.
I'll actually be sorting out the board this weekend. There's a lot to be done and I have irl stuff and a marathon to prepare for, so please be patient if it takes a while to do. Yeah I can add it as a sub category.
Also I have no idea where this 'dead game' thing came from as I can see some runs for this game ready to be verified.
