Nice run! Just watched the whole video. I need to improve all my times. Took a break, but I think I'm ready to get back into it again. I think my focus will be on kill screen and 1M points for starters. Once I get those, I'll work on the others. 🙂

Issue #1: I didn't realize it had to be played on default settings which basically means that extra men are awarded throughout the duration of the game. I liked the additional challenge of limiting myself to only 5 men to get through all 8 challenging stages so this is what I left it on. Besides, I already had Galaga set to 5-men only from previous games I've played in the past. I tend to steer away from playing on default or "marathon" settings whenever I fire up a game of Galaga on my PC because the games just last too long for me. Default it is.

Issue #2: I basically "cleaned up" this video by cropping some dead time before I actually hit the start button. Too much actually, to the point where when the video starts, it goes immediately into the game. I reread the rules and made the necessary adjustments for my 3rd attempt. The rejection count is as high as it is at this point because I simply used the same video for the rest of the submissions. Makes sense. One gets rejected, they all get rejected. No problem here.

Issue #3: A bit more embarrassing than the last 2 issues. I thought my 2nd video was "good to go" but because I had a crappy time for challenging stage #1, I decided to play again, just this one stage and resubmit a video with a better time. I just now realized that this was only a video for the "first" challenging stage, why the hell I submitted it for the remaining challenging stages is beyond me. A goofball move on my part. I guess as a newbie, it comes with the territory.

So now my 4th video which is forthcoming will be played on default settings (i. e. 3 men to start, one at 20k and every 70k thereafter with a difficulty of "D" or hardest), will show the game start up prior to me hitting start and will show me playing through all 8 challenging stages to completion, before killing off my remaining men and then entering my initials before concluding the video.

If there is anything wrong with this, please feel free to critique it so that I meet all requirements before submitting my times on this next go around.

Thanks for the response and please bare with me as I get used to not only using LiveSplit, but learning how to properly submit to speedrun.com.

I've made numerous attempts, 3 in total so far, and trying to submit my best times on several of the Galaga tracks and have been unsuccessful every time. I provided 100% evidence and have no problem playing in front of a live moderator at any given time if they're local. All of my evidence has been genuine up to this point and 99% of my submissions have been world records, with plenty of room for adjustment for even faster times. I just don't know what else I need to do to submit my video recordings. I've submitted a video from way before the game starts up until after the game has been completed upon the game over message that comes up on the screen. I played every game on the exact default settings that I was supposed to, and yet every one of my submissions gets rejected. Can somebody please tell me exactly what I need to do step by step so I can get these submissions uploaded. After four attempts at submitting my achievements if I'm unsuccessful then it wasn't meant to be and it's time for me to move on to another site. I like speedrun.com but it does not make it user-friendly for the Newbie. Thanks!

I know I'm the new guy here, but If this track is going to include other console emulators, I suggest keeping some of the older ones (pre Playstation and Xbox 1 era for example) separate by giving them their own track. The timing when played on the GBA emulator for example is slightly off that would make it a disadvantage to others who are who are trying to compete using emulators like that of MAME or both PlayStation and Xbox emulators which all do a pretty decent job at mimicking the arcade original. Just my $.02. :)
