Oh actually now that you mention it. Yeah. I for some reason didn't think about the fact you don't have all IL's on a new file. Okay fair enough. Thanks for letting me know so kindly tho. Highly appreciate it .

It is a little sad that you can't run the IL's before you have beaten the game tho. But to be fair i guess you shouldn't run a game you haven't beaten either

I looked around the IL records and i noticed that Any% In Bounds and Out Of Bounds seem to be NG+ with skills unlocked. Are there no actual Any% categories that has only the necessary unlocks unlocked?

Oh interesting. I personally have never seen that trick but yeah cool

Think they mean from the IL leaderboard @KirbyproKirbypro

For Category Extensions there are no set rule for what emulator to use. Some are better than others however. I am not quite sure on which ones people use but i know a good one is the slippi emulator as it cuts down a ton of load times for Real Time runs. All Trophies. All Characters etc. But for really any other category with an In Game Timer like the main categories in the 1-P Mode any emulator should be good enough.

I should mention tho just in case. 5.0 (Stable) is the only emulator allowed on the Original board with a few settings enabled in the rules. Category Extensions lets you use any.

Feel free to ask if you got any more questions

@davidvkimballdavidvkimball Thank you for letting us know. Sadly since the SRC forums are horrible at giving notifications. I just received it 3 hours ago so that's why i haven't responded. I will be hearing with the other mods and we'll see what we choose to do. I see also that Pablo in their run submission shared a highlight list of both runs and claims that between the crash and the second run starting was approximately 5 minutes. I don't know as of yet if we'll include that as there is no way for us to really verify how long it truly was without having been there waiting til Pablo went live again. (Unless I'm mistaken)

Again tho. I will be checking it with the other mods and we'll see what we decide to do. Thanks again for letting us know

I don't think me or any of the other mods are too familiar with Iso loaders. Tho i have been using them myself. I can at least speak from the Mario Sunshine community that an iso loader depending on the situation is not allowed. For example. Nintendon't is not allowed with use of an ISO or a disc. Because you are able to enable some form of a fast read time to have loading zones go by quicker. I think the only iso loader they allow is Swiss but that is only for launching a Disc. Not an ISO.

That being said. I could 100% be wrong and this is only what i have heard from the Sunshine community. My thoughts is if we were to allow Nintendon't/Swiss. We would have to set it as a separate category. However we can't insure that the loading times will be the same for each run. If someone uses an ISO and one uses Disc with Nintendon't. We can't exactly explain which one would be faster and times may vary from one run to another.

@davidvkimballdavidvkimball I know. Thought the winky face was an indicator that i understood it xD

@davidvkimballdavidvkimball Sweet. Just submit it and we can get going from there ;D

It has now been done. Changed the Game Rules to state that the master hand glitch ban was only for All events and event IL's plus adding a rule in category rule that it's allowed for all trophies. Also changed it so you can submit to emu/console. If you notice something else that should be changed. Then feel free to let me know

Thank you for bringing this up. Yes the original board allows master hand so we will switch it here as well. I kinda just forgot too. So yes. I will also fix the console/emu stuff for RTA runs. Also about the dolphin emu. I don't see a reason to not allow them. I have done a few runs of All characters and i can already tell that it helps a bunch. And with having it be only on an emulator category. I don't see why we shouldn't allow the slippi one. CE is made for changing up the categories a bit. And i feel like all the ones you mentioned now only enhances the game to be a bit more fun and less restrictive. So again thank you for reminding me to do this.

Hmm. We could revisit the thought of the master hand glitch. Since with such a huge category. I have no idea how much the MH glitch would save. I am not too familiar with the All Trophies category. I don't know who created the rule of no MH glitch but if it's Pokemonmaster then it may be difficult getting a hold of them and knowing why they put that. My thought is it may be for Events? Since i know some events with that glitch can be much easier. So in Event IL's or All events i could see that as cheating. But a category like this. I have no idea. Would suck to create a whole new category either. Cause then it would become 4 categories of all trophies if we consider emu/console differences. I would like to hear people's thoughts on this.

How would we get that to work? I have personally not seen anyway to play any of the 1-P MODE games like BTT and Classic with 2 people. And would that work? Like i know you could launch certain BTT stages with multiple players by using VS. MODE on 20XX. But that would be quite difficult to time cause i think the spawning locations are random or at least tied with ports. Sounds interesting tho.

@Black-ShadowBlack-Shadow If you struggle with setting up OBS then there are a ton of tutorials for it on YouTube. But if you don't wanna do that then feel free to reach out to me either on speedrun.com or my Discord SukeSJ#8912. I sadly wouldn't be able to help much today but i could easily show you how to do it.

Short explanation is when you have OBS open. You can add a Display Capture in the sources tab and just choose whichever monitor has the game. So it will capture your entire screen

I totally understand. Never modded a huge game like MC but i can see that it would take long. Thank you for the kind and detailed response.

I know that minecraft is a really huge speedgame so i won't be complaining. But i am just wondering if a run that has been pending for 1 month normal? Was submitted on the 20th of January

We have gotten a few requests about modded characters and modded categories like custom target tests and such. But sadly we don't want to add that as it would defeat the purpose of what Category Extensions is meant to be. In our eyes it's a more easy way for anyone to speedrun melee, with less restrictive rules for Emu and quality of life changes like Hyrule code and C stick. However opening a world of anything modded through Crazy Hand or other methods that affect the gameplay itself. That wouldn't bring more accessibility. It could be fun, yeah but it is not what Category Extensions is aiming for. If anything a new SSBM game version could be made, like we would have Vanilla. Category Extensions and Modded Categories. But there are no plans for us mods to create that anytime soon.

Highly appreciate reaching out tho and feel free to ask again if you have anymore questions

Sadly i did a run today and it doesn't count for the matches. It does however count for if you are the winner or not. I highly recommend not going for it. Unless you wanna ruin a run like i did today xD

Made a rough estimation of the timesave. Keep in mind since the RLAS was on reaction. It can save more time.
