I would also like to request an Arcade Emulator category. Got the MAME rom working with Flycast, run forthcoming soon.

Sorry been out on vacation last week and just got back.

Let me get the categories set up now.

Throwing in a vote for an Any% 1P category. It seems very silly to me to have an Any% 2P category without 1CC but not a 1P category.

Howdy Bosscat, hope you are doing well.

I was wondering if we could get a 2P category (and maybe a 2P 1CC category) added to this game?

HighWarlordJC and I have a run to submit :)

Thank you!

Absolutely.

Updated 1P and 1P 1CC categories to permit 1P2C for Final Level to prevent Stage Restart.

Hello,

I saw that JaekRock was putting in some 4P coop runs. He commented in his run it might be time for a 3P and 4P subcategory.

Been thinking about trying to get some people together to also do something similar with 3P and 4P, and wanted to throw my vote in behind it.

Appreciate you getting this created. Thank you.

Why does the video jump from like 1:14 to the end of the run? Seems like there is 20s or so missing.

When I was looking for this game on speedrun I noticed that it seems to have 2 spaces in it "dragon__saber" and that searching for "Dragon Saber" does not bring it up but searching for "Dragon Saber" (2 spaces) does.

Might be worth putting in a mod request to fix so the game is easier to find for people to play.

Absolutely, just not the 1CC categories.

Yea thats perfectly fine.

I appreciate the offer Fioresa, but unfortunately I have an arcade partner I play most of my 2P with.

We have done a run of this proposed 2P Level 5 category which people can look at here:

Hello,

Can we add a 2P category to this?

I was thinking maybe instead of points have time end when you Beat Level 5 (19 trees)

The points wont work as well 2P because you get 1000 points for dropping a tree on your friend.

Beating Level 5 seems like it might encourage better teamwork.

Hello,

Can a new category be added for 2P 2 Loop?

Have done a run at I would like to submit.

Thank you!

No problem, I requested and it was added.

Extra Version game is available here: https://www.speedrun.com/darius_gaiden_extra_version?h=1P&x=9d8nrrld

For anyone who wants a longer experience.

Roger that. Thank you.

Will request a new game for Darius Gaiden - Silver Hawk Extra Version

According to https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=46230 there are version differences that may or may not affect gameplay between different versions of XII Stag.

Dont know what they are, seem to maybe be related to auto back fire and some old issues in the MAME project.

Either way, for that reason, we are going to split the Platforms up into different subcategories.

If anyone has any further information please chime in here.

Thanks all

Hello,

Can a 2P category be added? I dont know about the routes, but here is a full run of the 2P mode me and my arcade partner did in 1 hour 12 minutes:

Has stages A-Z + V' and Z'

New category has been posted up.

Throwing in a vote for this. Seriously, game is named "The Arcade Game" with no arcade categories. Please create for the Arcade players.
