credits never appear. they are only accessible through the main menu screen. the timing rules need to be changed.
update: i am not able to accurately time twitch videos. the accuracy of times given with twitch videos will be up to the runners themselves. i am accepting anyone who wants to help moderate and is able to frame by frame twitch video runs. thank you.
we have runners that are not hitting their timers correctly. because of this, every run will now be frame by framed for accuracy and the rules for timing will now be on character control and last blow to zok.
i am in favor of removing RTA simply because it will be less work for me. when i first joined as moderator for the genesis version i had to manually frame by frame all the runs and input the RTA times myself.
rules have been edited to allow emulated runs for original mode. i personally frame by frame all genesis runs and will easily be able to detect a game being ran at a different speed. if any runs are ran at a different speed than original hardware, then it will be rejected. if any current mods have any input on this matter, please respond.
in that case. if the emulator you are using is ran at the same speed then i say it can be allowed and i will edit the rules for that category.
that is a great point. i havent ran that mode yet so i did not realize that.
the original mode category is for the genesis version of the game which is in fact a mode that you select on the menu. original mode goes through kinda like a "story mode" would where you can get different companies to sponsor you, buy different mechanics and buy bike parts. as far as emulators go, i know nothing about them but what i do know is that we currently have runners using emulators on the leader board and that is why IGT determines place order instead of RTA because the emulator that they are using runs the game faster. i personally do not see a problem in using the emulator that you are proposing because like i said, if it runs the game faster, it doesnt matter because the place order on the board is determined by IGT which will not change even if the game is running faster than usual.
i can frame by frame all genesis runs like i have been doing but if they dont show the in-game timer then it needs to be rejected because the place order is determined by IGT
why are all the arcade runs under the "other" tab instead of under the" arcade tab? the "other" category is for Metal Slug Complete PC Version and Metal Slug Anthology Version(s). this is stated in the rule sets.
i want to run the PS2 version of the game. is it possible to add this version to the leaderboard here?
Honestly i dont see why we have to have so many categories but you are the super mod so im just gonna go with it
I need to know what you want to do here because im about to make a blackbird% since my runs said that thats what they went to but never did because it isnt on the leaderboard.
I will run the game under any new rules or categories that he makes, it doesnt matter to me but i cant even run the game anymore because my runs are not being put into the correct categories
Yes @Timmiluvs, i submit to the correct categories and he is editing them and putting them into the wrong categories.
someone needs to mod P.N 03. there is only one mod and he put my runs into the wrong categories. i ran the game multiple times using the blackbird suit and he placed my runs into the papillon% categories which is entirely the wrong category. the moderator does not know how to even work the edit tools and i am certain that he doesnt really know that much about the game because if he did, he would have not just thrown my runs anywhere and made new categories every time i came out with a new technique. i have messaged him on twitter and on the P.N 03 forum and he will not respond to me, even though it shows him to be online. im not here to ask for moderation but if no one will mod P.N 03 then i would like to volunteer because the data shown for that leaderboard are incorrect and i can prove it.
