Hello and thank you for your interest. At this time, when you submit a run, you may select which region you are playing on (NTSC vs EU/PAL) on the submission screen. In order to see the top times for the EU version, you can filter the leaderboard by region. At this time, there are no submitted EU runs. Therefore, the addition of a separate category for EU runs is not yet justified. If in the future there is a strong demand for such a change, and there are multiple submitted runs in multiple categories on the EU version, then the mod team might consider a change. Until then, please submit any runs you have and remember to select the proper region while submitting. Thank you!

That's good to hear! I'm not exactly sure how it works with save states, I used to start a new movie recording every time. I'm glad you got it, I'm sure with some practice it will get even easier. You can also join our discord if you would like to, if you post any questions you have in the DS channel, someone will be super quick to reply to you no matter what time it is. https://discord.gg/MCwBNXA

Are you also setting your console time? Set your console's time to 00:00, restart the console and launch the game. Then you can time hitting new game. If you don't get it just reset and try again. You don't have to change the console time until it rolls around to 01:00. As long as the hour is all zeros it will work. As far as getting the right timing for hitting new game, I find it easier to go by audio. Turn the volume up and listen to the intro song and time it with a certain part of the music. Play a couple videos of runs and listen to that intro song a few times, listening for when the runner interrupts the song by hitting new game. This trick is NOT frame perfect, you actually have a window of several frames that will give you the same generation. So my advice would be make sure you're setting the console time, time it by audio, and keep trying, it is easier than you think it is.
