SGB Timings

Hello! I notice the WR run of this game has an unconverted SGB time as the recorded time.

The standard for most GB speedruns is to convert SGB times; since the SGB runs faster relative to a normal Game Boy. " Hardware: If you play on the original Super Game Boy (SGB), please submit your run with a coverted time (http://nudua.com/convert). This is because the SGB uses the clock speed of the SNES, not the GB, and runs 2.4% faster (https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Super_Game_Boy_timing). "

I was wondering if this was unknown to the runners and mods or if it was a choice of the board to allow for the game to run too fast? If allowed; it gives a massive advantage relative to original hardware.

Thanks!

Hello, sorry for the late reply.

This was indeed unknown to me. Chancool currently has multiple times on the leaderboard and there seem to be more SGB times. It is currently not in my power to verify all these runs, but it should be a long-term goal to adjust times.

Thanks for bringing this up! If you are up for it, you are welcome to help adjust the times (or just point out the correct times in this topic) so I can edit the times.
