PS and PC(and probably SegaCD and Saturn too) have similar problems to some extend. If you're going to switch to IGT you might aswell do it for all platforms.

Level 1 has very little menuing so it wouldn't change runs much. The main difference is that it would render the finish line trick useless.

I'm using a PS2 slim too.

34 minutes is already pretty good and would put you around mid-table, I'd say go for it

There are categories for this already.

It is a punishment for full game runs, but not for individual level runs as they are judged on in-game time.

OK, fair enough.

Seems good to me.

By the way Nicolas Soto on YouTube has some great IL runs on PC. Sadly he doesn't seem to be on this site, but if you ever feel like adding them...

It works surprisingly well on Windows 8, no idea about Windows 10 though.

You have to qualify for every track. You can complete races in any order you want, so there is no set "last" track. "Last" track is just whatever 5th and last race you complete.

Having an IL page that is 90+% empty is not a win for anyone.

TBH my major beef with IL for racing games is that maintaining a somewhat accurate board is a fool's errand. Just strolling around YouTube for a couple minutes will show you faster times than most GT2 SRC licenses WRs.

I'm confused, what is Formula DC? Google/YouTube did not give relevant results.

If there is no interest in preserving videos and if a strict "no vid no did" stance is the majority opinion we're looking at very wonky leaderboards in just a few years time. Which maybe most people are fine with, I don't know - the internet in itself is a very transient place in nature. It kind of defeats the purpose of having leaderboards to me, though.

I get that SRC wants to cover their asses when it comes to data protection but to me backing up gameplay footage ranks pretty low when it comes to ethical issues, especially since legally speaking, who exactly owns gameplay recordings is a grey area in itself.

Personally I believe that all runs should stay if proven legitimate. However, removing run videos on purpose is unsportsmanlike.

I also believe that game mods should back up WRs or otherwise important runs, in case they get taken down. The problem is that under current SRC rules, they are prohibited from reuploading them.

Now here comes the elephant in the room: text is king when it comes to long term data storage. Video archives cost a lot of money to maintain online, and big companies may decide to take down that service at any time. Twitch is already flaky when it comes to VODs. Who knows how long YouTube will last? Sure, a near future without YouTube is hard to see, but they could for example decide to purge inactive users, or unpopular vids if they feel the cost cutting measures are worth the backlash. This is why I'm a bit skeptical of the "no vid no did" mentality, it may sound wise when it comes to rejecting frivolous runs, but not so much when it comes to maintaining a reliable database to the 2030s and beyond.

Hello! Great name. I was considering running MM3 for a while too, but the game turned out to be too long and too hard for me.

Yeah, I agree.

Both mods haven't been around for months, so I doubt you'll get an answer from them here, though.

Hello, I would like to request moderation for Grand Prix 2(https://www.speedrun.com/grand_prix_2). Current mod has not been online for 9 months and cannot be reached on social media. Thanks.

Games > All games > platoform filter to PS4 should tell you which games you can run.

Most communities do not require an embed timer on your video. What you can do is use a physical timer for yourself during the run, then later use timestamps on the video recording to get a precise time for submission. Even if you make a mistake, game mods will likely catch it and fix it.

Pokemon Stadium Any% is 20 hours(there is no 100% category).

Cooper's thread explains the situation very well.

I wouldn't mind allowing emu runs if they make sure their loading times are clearly slower than console's top(or average) loading times, personally. But it's the mods call. Ideally it would be good to have a cheap option to get people's foot on the door, see if they like it, while still maintaining an incentive to use hardware.

Just do your best and have fun! People are usually happy to see new players no matter their ability.
