In Ng+ Any%, the rules say that timing starts at save file creation but the only run in that category starts the time at the A press press selecting the level. This removes the time it takes to put in the cheats. Which timing method should future runs follow?

Timing rules have been finalized after a discussion by mods, timing rules have been adjusted to include cheat input time and banning files with data, as there is some time you can save by completing the game before you do a run, so we want to make the rules fair for all runners, including new runners. The new rules now include the cheat input time, and for runs that don't include cheat inputting in the run will be penalized 1 minute. Sorry to everyone for all the updates to the rules, but overall the most consistent option for timing will be this. Rules might change in the future but hopefully there will be no adjustments to the rules from now on.

New runner here, i just want to leave my 2 sents on the NG+ rules.
Im not 100% ok with invisablity cheat code as its a cheat and not unlocking somthing you unlock by beating the game. It kind of feels like Cheat Any%

After constant discussion, there is a vote as to whether emulator runs should be unhidden and moved to their own subcategory.

This vote will be open for a few days but will be called early if a result is obvious.

Should Emulators get their own subcategory?
