mmm... did you try changing the "signal" in your capture card properties ? Like for example, switching from PAL to NTSC-M or anything like that ?
i think for speedruns, you'd want to get the "official" ones, also i'd say probably anything but PAL...
Most games back then, on PAL versions, ran slower than the other versions (NTSC-U, NTSC-J) I'm not sure how that works with the concole themselves, but still.
did you try using other resolutions to see if you get an image in any of them ?
Is there even any glitch for Grid 2 anyway ? This leaderboard, it looks like the guy just though too much about the other ones and didn't really bother looking what the game actually as (as in, glitches, HDD install options, if it's really possible to even do segmented runs in a legit way).
What a mess.
It's nice to see someone that knows that much about what the other leaderboards can have, but sadly that doesn't mean you can do the same thing for all of them.
I guess the guy just needs some help and though "hey these guys posts on forum a lot than the others, they got good PBs too in other games, they could help me for sure !".
Personnaly, i wouldn't mind helping, but i don't have the game, don't plan to get it, and if the guy doesn't even knows if there's glitches and the likes, i don't see the point.
- Super Mario Bros series in general (except Sunshine since it's very difficult as a run, atleast imo)
- Valdis Story: Abyssal City (not TOO hard, but not too easy either... well, you know, like any good game Kappa )
- Wonder Boy series (genesis games mostly)
- Sonic games (1 2 3 & Knuckles, 4 Episode 1 & 2, CD, 3D Blast... there's more but i can't remember the names)
There's other games still, ofc
that would also help for Initial D games, i totally agree
imo the game should be added on release date
