I'm trying to use an Xbox Series controller with Launchbox/MAME and can't get it to work. It won't show "+" or "-". If I enter it twice like in the video, it'll just duplicate my command. Weird.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to perform the gear gacha on Genesis. It's pretty easy to do on the Arcade version but I tried yesterday while streaming on Twitch and I can't pull it off on the Genesis version.

I know @takojaki seems to know how.

Thanks guys!

MS Marceau.

Hey fellow Sonic fans, how is it going? Just letting you know my runs have been pending for approval for 3 weeks. If you need an additional moderator to help, let me know, I'd be happy to help.

100% agree but that'd have to be approved by the 2 other mods @PeteDorr & @josef733 and that also means Gold and Silver would have to redo their runs. Might be too late to enforce this.

Thank you for uploading the tutorial @LISITSA , you did keep your word.

Still extremely weird to me that you have a female YouTube and Speedrun account with a stolen Google picture but your run does seem legit to me and I approved your run.

If you want a piece of advice, you should stop impersonating females if you want to acquire credibility, otherwise, don't be surprised if people question you. This is not "envy" or because "we don't like Russians". As a matter of fact, Eastern Europeans are usually awesome people and they make great Vodka. I also modified the title of this thread.

Looking forward to it. That still won't explain me why you have a female alt-account, my biggest issue with you.

@LISITSA Since we're all stupid, can you explain to us if we should call you a "he" or a "she" today? I can't keep up with your alt-accounts.

@AlphaNerd It is disturbing in any country man. The dude seriously just replied here with a She/Her account and a stolen picture acting like it's normal and there's nothing to see here, it's fascinating.

Switching back to insults? At first you called us racists towards Russians and now we're 3-year olds, eh? Always so classy. Have fun impersonating females, it's a totally normal thing to do. As far as I'm concerned, you're not welcome in this community and I'm done trying to reason with you. Goodbye.

And now you switched to your alt-account impersonating a female again. Wow. Just... Wow...

No one on here has an alt-account but you dude @Dasha.

@LISITSA You ignored my legitimate question by responding with non-sense. @Dasha IS your account, yes, it is your account, we all know it, and that's the very problem here.

Let me reiterate: I'm pretty sure impersonating a female, going out of your way to display "She/her", choose a female-sounding name, with a stolen Google picture while actually being a male is not allowed in the community. Why didn't you rename the account and change its gender? 'Cause it's sketchy. So you created a new one [so people can't track your history because you know it'd look bad on you].

@LISITSA you just said: "yeah, @Dasha is my account. Until this, i doesn't have a real one account, just because don't want to show my real face or kinda this."

I call BS on that, sorry. There's a HUGE difference between not showing a face at all, and making your account a fake female account both on YouTube and Speedrun dot com with (what I assume is) a stolen picture from Google. What do you have to hide so bad? It doesn't make sense, no one does this. Because of this, everything still seems very sketchy to me.

"StinkySteven" is a youtube harasser/doxxer who just created an account to harass AlphaNerd, one of the most classy dude I've ever known. Please report that account and ignore.

@LISITSA What about the other account you used @Dasha : https://www.speedrun.com/user/Dasha It says "She/Her" Why were you using the account of a female. Don't you realize how sketchy that is, especially on a website like this?

LISITSA, are you not "Dasha" anymore? What's up with that? The Dasha account says "She/Her"... You were using the avatar of a young lady and we were calling you a "she"...

Furthermore you now bring nationality into this debate? Seriously?? Nobody cares what country you're from. You should be the one to apologize.

You had a fake persona, no face or voice on video, no inputs, nothing to show those runs were legit. And now, finally, you're trying to give some proof, which you should've done from the start instead of creating an alt-account.

You are the one that had no proof, not us and it's your job as a Speedrunner to show proof your runs are legit.

That being said, now that you've finally shown yourself and your inputs, you can get your WR back as far as I'm concerned. But don't be mad at us for having questioned it, it was as sketchy as it gets.

PeteDorr you're amazing! Couldn't agree more with everything you said. Big thumbs up!

PS: There's indeed a hidden run not showing on the leaderboard. In my profile it says I got Bronze.

I wholeheartedly agree with @AlphaNerd on this. Already, the YouTube account is sketchy from the start. It looks like a stolen profile picture from a relatively young lady born after this game was released, no face shown on video, no voice, no controller inputs, not recorded live and playing like this is either impossible for a human or require hundreds/thousands hours of attempts, if it's even possible. There's not one single thing that makes me think that that run is legit.

Mods,

With all due respect, not sure if you're aware, but I see many uploads from Replay & Longplay channels in the leaderboards. Those are probably ALL Tool-Assisted runs. Those channels just upload TAS runs to have plenty of playthroughs on their channels, not for Speedrun dot com purposes, this is also why they don't upload anything here themselves.

Another example, "RetroLongplay" is currently running a Tool-Assisted Marathon right now on Twitch and they just ran TAS of Super Hang-On, Rad Mobile, OutRun Genesis, OutRun SMS, OutRunners Genesis, Virtua Racing, OutRun 2019, OutRun TG-19, OutRun Saturn and many more! Link: https://www.twitch.tv/retrolongplay

Those runs shouldn't be on the leaderboard unless under a TAS category. I know for a fact AL82 Longplay and RX from Replay Burners are examples of TAS that shouldn't be there.

Hopefully I don't hurt anyone's feelings with this post but I wanted to let you guys know.
