I’ve played through both the PSP and PS4 versions to completion and for Any% they seem identical, why split the boards? An example would be the Patapon remasters not splitting the board because these games are simply HD remasters

It's listed as JP NES but from his bloopers video I can see that he's running on WiiUVC:

Look at 2:46, 3:20 etc.

For Arcade though most use MAME

Someone needs to do a Switch run first ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Oh then in that case I think I’ll use my BC PS3 for runs!

Just wanting to make the leaderboard more pleasing to look at so I'm making all difficulties misc. apart from Baby (easiest difficulty on console) and Easy (easiest difficulty on arcade).

The game doesn't have a lot of interest in the first place so hopefully now this will remove the clutter.

Just to be clear: PS2 has slower loading times

Yeah that would be accepted!

For runs that are 5+ years old then some people used a flash requiring player, unfortunately I don’t know of any work around but considering it was a semi blind race then I’m sure the WR is beatable

For general info the latest model PS2 (9000 model) has the fastest loads of all PS2 models and I think PS3 is on par or a hair faster than that model. There's 2 types of BC PS3, one that has real hardware and one that emulates (think 80GB is the emulator one) however GCN is still superior and again you're just learning the game so don't freak out over loads just yet :)

Still a good place to learn the game!

From this I also find that PS2 is by far the worst console to run this game on. As along with the worst loads, it also suffers in Floor it!. Xbox and GCN have similar timings but I feel from playing the game that the speed of the boats is less on PS2. This would make sense as BFBB also had bizarre differences of vehicle speeds across different consoles.

How come that game isn't under this Series?

Game is free with Epic Games launcher until December 6th, you link your Uplay account when you go to install it so you can download it from either launcher and therefore remove Epic Games once you've got it: https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/Faqs/000051959/Deine-kostenlose-Kopie-von-Rayman-Legendsvom-Epic-Games-Store-erhalten

Okay, since the Switch version (£9.99) is a port of PS then I’ll probably get the PS One Classic version from PlayStation store (£3.99) and do runs on my PS3 and then help get the board set up. Since a lot of the games have similar names we’d then have to edit the name’s to “James Pond 2 (SMS)” and “James Pond 2 (PS)” also not to be picky but shouldn’t the full title be on the site so it should say James Pond 2: Codename Robocod?

If I got this game then is there a leaderboard for me to submit to? I want to get into this series as it’s a bit of a meme and a British developer but I don’t know much about the history but it be nice to get it on my switch rather than emulate SMS 🤷‍♀️ any advice?

To update: He gave me super mod so I've added Snap + Slide and also updated the theme, unfortunately as Skate Axis is "high score" based we couldn't do it. We could setup a speedrun for X points but it would require video verification and honestly it isn't something we'd really be interested in setting up in terms of what that game is like

Oh my bad, I saw there were some graphic differences but if they're totally different games then I apologise. Just saw it in Argos haha!

I’ll message Captain Speedruns on Discord to get him to consider it

you could be the first :D what's stopping you?
