When you click on "submit run", the very first level in the leaderboards table is preselected in "Level" row.

Example: When you select "Xen" level in Half-Life and click on "Submit run" from there, it automatically selects "Hazard Course" instead of "Xen".

Most races in stage 2 - 5 spawn randomly, so you have to use reload trick to spawn the ones you want - go back to main menu, go to career and choose "load career" or something like that, then just resume the career and all events will randomly spawn again. However, using this trick doesn't 100% guarantee your event will spawn, so sometimes you have to do it several times in a row.

You'd know this if you'd ask on discord ;) We won't bite you. It's just text chat like here.

Hello,

Seven is correct, however the game still rarely crashes if you go to dyno and mash Enter during the loading screen, so don't do that :) Other than that it should never crash.

We also have a discord channel if you're interested to talk with us ;) The link is in NFS general forum.

Hmm, in that case I think we should give it a proper test. I mean, simply do a couple runs of each mission on both PS and Mednafen/Xebra and see if there really is any difference in time. You can't really say this or that runs faster just by watching a stream, you know. Also, some of the framerate difference could be explained by having more objects on the screen, which actually has quite an effect from what I've seen.

Unfortunately I don't own any PS system, so I can't test it :(

Well, as I said, I was able to match Omega's PS2 run in Bank Job, so where do you get the idea that both Xebra and Mednafen are running faster than the real hardware? :)

I'll try to give Xebra 02/24/16 a full game test. I'm also using NTSC version (scph-5501). First try on TBJ - 3:08, so the speed seems good.

So, I did some tests on PSX version and it seems like some emulators perform better than others.

The Bank Job:

ePSX - 2:51-2:55 Mednafen - 3:05-3:10

ePSX runs much smoother, therefore it's faster. Omega does it around 3:10 on PS2, so Mednafen seems to be on the spot. The question is if we should ban certain emulators.

Also, has anyone tested performance on different PS systems?

A bit late, but what's that new skip on Thursday?

Since the game practically changes with every new patch, shouldn't be there a variable in each category?

There's a huge bug with the game tags update. Seems like if you change anything in the mod menu (edit game), the leaderboards will display all runs that were submitted, not just the fastest ones.

Examples:

No need to apologize 3 times :D

Cool ;)

jawibae, did you really verify those runs? I made you a mod 2 hours ago and I'm pretty sure there was one 3-4 hour run. You're supposed to watch the whole thing to make sure there is nothing missing or suspicious.

Mkay.

There are already several runs waiting to be verified, unfortunately JustShanz and aimlezz seem to be inactive, other mods are for classics Tomb Raiders and my knowledge about this game is limited, so if any of the active runners here is willing to be a mod, let me know.

Okay :)

I'd rather recommend bazos.cz since Aukro is paid.

I'd add OoB to the list and maybe "weird" boosts like the one in apel's MC run, where he jumps towards collapsed bridge and it boosts him onto the platform.

I also think that any kind of list is not enough and every potentially looking trick/glitch should be discussed and judged by mods.

Same opinion.
