Hello. I would like to become a mod for operation wolf (NES) https://www.speedrun.com/Operation_Wolf_NES . The only mod hasn't submitted a run on any games in over 7 months and has been inactive on speedrun.com for a month now. I tried reaching out to him several times but I never got any responses. I moderate several other NES zapper games and the zapper discord server. I'm online several times daily and have modded other games for over a year so I believe I'm up to the task

People new to the game should definitely attempt to beat it. They should beat it several times before they try to speedrun it however

Would an NES repro of VS Hogan’s alley be allowed?

The zapper community now has an official discord server. Everyone is welcome to join https://discord.gg/yWaCXYs

If you beat your pb you can just delete the previous runs before they get verified

I didn’t have permanent fireball at this point. When I entered the portal I went in a like a 45’ angle from the bottom. At the 1:00 mark I do a regular glide jump and instead of flying like in the comparison video, I glide super fast and far but not upward. In the second video it appears that Spyro glides like he’s in the last phase of the fight but with the boundaries of the first phase. I don’t even know how I’d explain what happened to me if I didn’t have a video. Oh, and one last thing to note is that it wouldn’t let me pause the game

Before I start Ill say that I was playing on an original PS1 and an official disk. I don't know if this is a glitch that can be triggered or if it was just luck but I was able to fly in Riptos arena without using cheat codes. I was practicing offline and recorded as soon as I could. I used the swimming in the air glitch to get into Ripto early. When I got in the stage Ripto started shooting fire right away while the text boxes were still up. When I re spawned I kept dying in one hit but it seemed that I had unlimited lives. My charging was a glitchy mess and to fly I just used to normal double jump trick but held down the buttons. I know this won't help at all with Ripto but if it could be triggered in other areas I'm sure it could be beneficial

The first part of the set up was correct but the last shell was supposed to be on the right not the left. Listen to what Falcon said about the pipe clip. The last step during the glitch scroll. When Mario is scrolling down you need to hold down+right and press jump when he comes out the pipe on the bottom. If everything is done correctly you should trigger the ending cutscene

I agree. Perhaps if the time is a good one we’ll have to crack down to see what’s up. No one has submitted anything with any form of LDC modification so far so I suppose this’ll come up again if anyone decides to do so

Those are what I meant. I also heard that you might need a third party zapper for the second one. I’m pretty sure they said you need to modify an original or use an alternative. Does the public have access to these ROMs and adapters or are they still in beta?

If we had a source that said 1987 I’d say we go with that. I don’t think it’s too big of a deal. I’ll take a look but I don’t remember finding much about it when I was researching it a few weeks ago

It was also released on the FDS not the NES

Recently there has been a new modified version of Duck Hunt that is altered to allow it to work on LCD TVs. Since we do not know if the RNG works the same or not and the games speed is changed I, feel that it should be banned. I would like to hear the community’s thoughts on this

Oops. Well that sucks. Alright, I’ll just run the original route then

No. That’s why we run 2 duck mode. You can only control the ducks in 1 duck mode

you still need to hold down turbo buttons. and I'm assuming its fire route

Since you can't change the character during the run I think it would be right if there were different categories for the different characters like on the Castlevaina 3 and Super Mario Bros. 2 leaderboards

I'm not sure if this would save any time but here's a new wall clip I found in Simba's Destiny

BBG in all stars softlocks the game
