New South Wales, Australiathis is why you can do the pole glitch in fire sea, it isn't new :(
emu runners, can you please keep in mind PJ64 version 1.7 (and above) is NOT allowed for submitting on speedrun.com If you are using this version please uninstall and download version 1.6 to continue doing your runs on. I have had to reject a lot of runs recently due to this and I don't feel nice doing it but it is an unfair version to compete on.
Other ALLOWED versions: Mupen64Plus for these emulator submissions we will require the emulator window to be shown for both Mupen64Plus and OpenEmu.
theyre still missing a requirement for the category ;/ its literally called 70 star
when someone hyper speed wall kicks all the way to bowser in the sky and completes a run then submits to 70 star leaderboard, im sure the moderators will have no issue with rejecting it since its missing 69 stars
accessibility was one of my primary arguments against iQue, I think like we do it now where emu and VC are basically easy-to-access "free" or cheap tools to learn the game on, is the right way to do it. I wouldn't be opposed to shadowing the leaderboards though as I think N64 should be the primary console for SM64, and I feel forcing people to recognise how we do things as a community will give us more credibility in our arguments. For instance when arguing against iQue a common response was "why not ban VC as nobody runs 0 star on that" etc. Maybe don't ban but shadow it so it's clear to outsiders/newcomers that it isn't as relevant competitively. Keeping them open for people to test the waters and learn I think is a positive thing in the long run and like 99.9% of people do, once they feel the urge to take it seriously they quickly swap to N64. Again my opinion mostly revolves around accessibility, not how many runs are done, as most people have access to VC and if not then almost definitely emu. iQue band doe
