Creating a tool like splits.io is a great idea, especially if you're into speedrunning! You’ll want to focus on accurate timer integration, editable splits, and maybe cloud syncing. Consider using Python or JavaScript with Electron for cross-platform support. Let me know if you need help with frameworks or open-source timers!
If the game isn’t listed yet, you can request it by submitting a game request through the site’s Game Request form. Just make sure the game meets the guidelines (like being publicly playable). Once approved, you can help shape the rules and categories for future runners. Good luck!
Last fan game I played was AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake)—super polished and stays true to the original vibe. Also tried Sonic Robo Blast 2, which was surprisingly fun with mods. Fan games really show how passionate the community is. Got any recommendations? I’m always up for testing new stuff!
Absolutely! If you’ve got a unique idea for a speedrun category, head over to the game’s leaderboard page and use the "Request a Category" option (if available), or contact the game’s moderators directly. Be sure to explain your idea clearly and how it adds value to the speedrun community!
Yes, it’s definitely possible to add a new game! Just head over to the “Game Requests” section on the forums and follow the submission guidelines. Make sure the game isn’t already listed and provide all required details. The mod team usually reviews requests pretty quickly. Good luck!
I picked my username based on a mix of my favorite game character and a bit of personal flair. It just stuck over time and now it feels like part of my identity in every speedrun I post. Always fun seeing how creative everyone gets with theirs!
Using cracked versions of Minecraft isn’t allowed on official servers and goes against Mojang’s terms of service. While some unofficial servers may permit it, it's always best to support the developers and use the legit version. Plus, official versions give you access to updates, Realms, and a safer multiplayer experience.
In-game cheats are a gray area—if they're built-in by devs (like classic debug codes), many see them as tools or fun extras, not real "cheating." But in competitive or leaderboard runs, using them usually disqualifies the attempt. It really depends on context and community rules.
Absolutely! If you're going for an authentic feel, the original NES controller or the 8BitDo NES30 is a solid pick—great build and responsive. For modern comfort, the 8BitDo Pro 2 is amazing with customizable buttons and wireless support. Depends on your setup, but both work great for NES speedruns!
Great question! A good way to stay updated on charity events is by following major speedrunning communities like GDQ (Games Done Quick) on social media or their official site. Also, keep an eye on the Events section here on the forums—many smaller charity marathons get announced right here too!
Welcome aboard! Great to see longtime watchers jumping in. You’ll love being part of the community—tons of knowledge, cool discussions, and helpful runners here. If you ever need advice on strats, routing, or getting started with your first run, feel free to ask. Glad you finally joined the fun!
Hey, welcome! Great to have you here. If you're just starting out, I'd suggest checking out classics like Celeste, Super Mario Odyssey, or Portal. They’re beginner-friendly and have active speedrun communities. Feel free to ask if you need routing tips or setup help—this forum's full of helpful runners!
