Another update -- hopefully the last one -- regarding Sly 2's PS4 & PS5 release.

Slysonic -- with help from NanakiEmi, Gnist, Foas and neon -- has found a reliable and accessible way to obtain PS5 v1.000.000 on a PS5 console. It requires a valid license of the game and a PS5-compatible external hard drive. Additional details and a video tutorial can be found in a pinned message in #sly-2 of the Sly Cooper Speedruns Discord.

With this development, we will be reverting the March archival and ban of PS5 v1.0 runs. All PS5 v1.0 runs will be restored to their previous location, and they will be eligible for submission in any category. The leaderboard split will now be between "Classic" and "PS4/PS5 v1.0". On the Category Extensions page, every Sly 2 CE will now be split in the same fashion. Slyfecta categories and Multi-game CEs will not have a leaderboard split.

Like before, "Classic" will house all versions besides v1.00 of the 2024 re-release; this includes the PS2 and PS3 versions, as well as PS4/PS5 runs using an updated version.

As always, please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
