United StatesI had to run obscure games like this for a project I did from 2018-23 that involved speedrunning 200 different games lol. I got used to this.
Let me see... the way I timed my run in 2023 was: time began on selection of difficulty (Extreme Ooze), and ends at fadeout when you end the last mission. I had to run RTA.
Yes, you may use those versions.
OK, I was incorrect, the glitch wasn't a wrong warp like I thought. The bomb did not spawn. After I finished running through the floor, I exited the 3rd door (I mistakenly thought it was the 2nd one) and then re-entered. I thought I re-entered the 3rd door and skipped a section.
When I ended up missing a barrel, I re-entered the door right of the elevator, which IS the 2nd door, and ran right; the missing barrel was there. That's why I thought perhaps I accidentally went out the wrong door, and also why I thought I wrong-warped. I was mistaken.
That said, the barrel was not there the first time, and WAS there the second. If this thread can be edited so that it isn't misleading to other runners, that would be spectacular, or we can delete the thread.
I apologize for false info. I was so confused that I THOUGHT I wrong-warped lol. But that barrel definitely did glitch, or else I have no clue what happened!
THE BELOW TEXT IN ITALICS IS MY ORIGINAL POST. TL;DR: The bomb barrel despawned, and when I came back to check it later, it was there. I thought I had wrong-warped past it, but upon further review I was mistaken. I apologize if any of this was misleading or anything, I just thought I found something and wanted to share it.
Just wanted to share this. I played through this casually recently, and on Stage 4 I exited floor 5 through a door. I realized that I missed part of it (which held a bomb) and re-entered the door I exited, and I ended up a door left of that door on the other screen.
16:40 or so in the above vod is when that happens.
Not sure if this can help save time in the future but wanted to document it now.
EDIT: Still waiting to hear back, but after watching the above video, I agree this might be an acceptable emulator to run on. Until further notice, if anyone wishes to try this, I suggest showing the "settings" menu before each attempt and/or after each reset to confirm the default settings for both the RISC and the M68K, as well as having fast forward disabled, Lockstep mode default, Pipeline emulation enabled, and blitter speed on default. In other words, all default modes. I would also show this at the end of any completed PB run for verifications' sake.
TL;DR before you begin an attempt, show a clean reset, and then show that all the settings are in their default states and ensure this is all in your video. I also recommend showing this at the end as well.
I'm hoping for clarification on the OP Priority scaling and the random start cycle options before I make any permanent and final decisions
This is very promising! I'm reaching out to them for more details. Has anyone attempted a run on this emulator yet?
If anyone has, I can make a separate leaderboard now so they can be represented, and once I get a few more answers and make my determination that this is accurate and fair, I can combine the leaderboards :)
As soon as I hear back from them, I will make my judgment. If anyone has further info to assist me in this, I'm all ears! And thank you all for informing me about this, Jag emulation is very exciting to see!
I no longer have my Jaguar to test it alongside of, but I might be able to try it out. I'd prefer it if someone with access to one could do so, but I can take a look.
That said, has anyone attempted a run on emulator? If it's accurate, and someone performs a run on it, I can analyze it more carefully. At the very least, if there's interest in allowing that platform, and it turns out to be inaccurate, we can make a separate leaderboard. But having a run to compare would make it extremely easy for me to test it out (loading times, lag, etc).
The absolute best way would be to get someone that knows the in-and-outs of the emulator's behavior (which is way above my paygrade lol) but again, even if it's inaccurate enough to warrant its' own separate board, if there's a run out there, I want to represent it.
Is there any documentation of its' accuracy out there anywhere? I'm very interested in allowing for emulator runs, and I would be happy to add an accurate emulator to the allowed ways to play this. If it isn't accurate, the only way I would endorse adding this, would be a separate category.
I would love to hear the community's thoughts! Should we allow this emulator? Should we make it a separate category? Are there any existing runs of Cybermorph out there using this emulator (or any others?)
I'm only suggesting this because there might be some interest due to the current Big 20 #17 that is preparing to be held September 9th. There is a substantial number of players that are running B-Type runs of all 6 categories in both single segment RTAs (from 0 to 5) as well as ILs.
If a category was made or at least potentially, that might fill up very quickly. I'd certainly like to submit my PB :)
I am also curious about this. I have some plans to run Game B in the very near future, and despite it being an easy speedrun, I still think it should have leaderboard representation.
In fact, I have a VERY unique speedrun of Game B that I'll be doing in a few days. Although I would like leaderboard representation for it, I'll be performing and posting it here regardless.
Whenever I tackle a new speedrun, I always try to find out if there's anyone that has run it already. I did a search back in the day, and didn't find anything. It wasn't until I re-uploaded my vod on YouTube and got some attention from it that someone reached out.
I'm excited to see what you guys can do with it, in fact I'm kind of thinking about coming back to this at some point 👀
