I am going to close this thread as a reasonable period of time has passed.

Also, this is a bit off the agenda of this thread. An emulator check was set up on a record I have that uses a compatible machine (RetroFreak).

Thanks.

I have posted News. After a while, if there are no problems, I would like to lock this thread. May I? (I am not sure if it is normal to lock a thread in which you are not the Author.)

I also have a question from Mr. ChuMogpo. I think it will stay this way for a while longer.

Thanks.

I am interested in The Return of Ishtar, but have not been able to purchase it. And it is probably difficult, so even if I do purchase it, I will have some time available before I can run it.

Thanks for the reply.

I have finished organizing the View Rules in regards to categories. We will notify you later in the News about the category reorganization. Please check to see if there are any major mistakes.

We have noticed that after updating the rules, they are not reflected for a while. Maybe the previous rules are still displayed. I could only see the rules that had not been updated when I signed out. After one night I was able to see the updates.

Categories have been organized. View Rules will take a little more time. When you have finished writing up to the View Rules, include them in the News.

OK. I would like to organize them in order when I get around to it. (Perhaps only the super moderator can organize the categories?)

One very quick note - All Main Treasures does not need a pro game category as there are no "bonus" treasures in that mode.

I thought that "All Main Treasures" was a category that meant "All Main Treasures", so I thought the presence or absence of bonus treasure was not important. For this reason, we felt it would not be a problem to have a subcategory for professional gamers. What do you think? (Whether or not anyone submits is another question)

In the case of more subcategories, the category tabs didn't even multiply. I didn't pay much attention to them.

Apologies for the late reply! I know it's hard when "moderating" becomes like a job. So, you can go at your own pace

(However, if you follow Speedrun.com's guidelines, it seems within 21 days is preferable.)

I would also suggest splitting the PSX version of the leaderboard from the arcade version of the leaderboard.

This would mean, in light of the supported platforms. Does this mean that the leaderboards would be split as follows?

• Any% (Arcade): WiiVC, DS, Switch, Arcade
• Any% (PSX): PS1, PSP, PS4 Or PSX = PS1 only? I would like some clarification in this area.

Also, if I am correct in my understanding above, then 50k would be the following classification, correct? (I think an item is missing)

• 50k +- 50k (Arcade) +- 50k (PSX) +- 50k (NES)

I am not sure if it is really appropriate to separate categories based on detailed internal specifications. I'm a little apprehensive. (I have no objection if the difference is as big as Another Tower and Darkness Tower.)

For example, I have the following concerns

• Other platforms were found to have the same specifications
• It is unclear which category the newly released platform will be classified into (Possibility of absence of people who can distinguish between the two in the future).
• Later found to be inadequate for validation

However, you can either have these things handled on a case-by-case basis. If there is no one left who can handle it, we can just give up and put it back the way it was. I thought it would be better to leave it to those present at the time.

Based on the above. I agree with the following division.

1. Tabbed by category and console hardware:

I agree with you that "as for the main category, I would give priority to the category of clearing games."

Personally, I would also like to change it for the following reasons

• I am concerned because the name order is not organized
• I cannot see the PCE/TG-16 entry when I quickly look at it The second reason led me to mistakenly believe that the PCE version of the category did not exist, and there was a time when I gave up on the idea.

In addition to the above reasons, I would suggest the following sorting order for the tabs.

• any%
• any% (NES)
• any% (PCE/TG-16)
• any% Another Tower (PS1)
• any% Darkness Tower (PS1)
• all main treasures (PCE/TG-16)
• 50k (HS)
• 50k (NES)

I would really like to have all category tabs on the same screen as much as possible. We would like to shorten the names of the tabs, or group together those that can be subcategorized. However, that is separate from this issue, and we may want to consider whether or not we should support this, and if so, how.

If you are able to check this thread. I would like to hear from the runners as well.

I have added FlannelKat as a moderator. Thank you.

Since we have completed all the content we wish to address in this thread I would like to lock this thread. Thank you very much.

I was able to complete the original goal of this thread, which was to add categories. Thank you.

The two main categories are Any% and All Main Treasures, and We have added difficulty levels to the subcategories. The rules have been reorganized accordingly.

If there are any problems or requests, we will consider modifying them accordingly.

Also, with Akaginite's approval, I have added him as a moderator. Thank you and I will add him as a moderator.

I believe FlannelKat has the moderator's approval as well. However, I would like to get another response just to be sure. I would like to add it to the moderators at that time. (This is due to my lack of confidence in my English ability.)

I just noticed earlier that I was not a moderator, but had been added as a super moderator, so I see that I can add a moderator myself.

I was not familiar with the permissions of the super moderators. Sorry. If Mis. FlannelKat is willing, please moderator. May I ?

If you would like to be a moderator, please request it from me. I consider the following requirements for moderators

• Those who keep track on Leaderboards
• Have frequent access to Speedrun.com

I requested additional moderators for the PC Engine version, so I was surprised to see that there is only one moderator. 😲

I would benefit from more moderators for the following reasons

• I am not very good at english (I use automatic translation)
• I am not very familiar with the AC version of the Tower of Druaga, as I mainly play the PC Engine version
• I am also busy with work, I may miss some requests

Speedrun.com accepts requests for additional moderators here.

Hello, my name is KatoDamuko.

I am writing to request the addition of a new category for the PC Engine version (TG-16) of the Tower of Druaga, and to update the contents of the Any % category accordingly.

The new categories are as follows

• Update: Any % -> Any% - Easy
• Add: Any% - Normal
• Add: Any% - Hard
• Add: Any% - Pro Game
• Add: All Main Treasures - Easy

The PC Engine version has four difficulty levels. Currently, Any% is practically a category for Easy difficulty only. Since these four difficulty levels are different in terms of gameplay and appeal, we believe that a record of each is necessary. We believe that each of them should have its own record. The PC Engine version has four difficulty levels, but The current Any% record is practically a category just for the Easy difficulty level. Since these four difficulty levels have different gameplay and appeal, we believe that a record for each of them is necessary. We believe that each of these four difficulty levels should have its own record.

In addition to Any%, there is also "All Main Treasures." However, I personally think that only one type of "All Main Treasure" is necessary because I think that only "Easy" difficulty level is sufficient for this category. In addition to Any%, there is also "All Main Treasures." I personally think that only one type is needed for now, as I think that this one should only be on easy difficulty.

I have already uploaded my own video recordings of the five categories I have proposed, so please refer to them.

• Any% - Easy:
• Any% - Normal:
• Any% - Hard:
• Any% - Pro Game:
• All Main Treasures - Easy:

Thank you for your consideration.
