It's not on steam anymore and was an XBLA title so I'm guessing it mostly comes down to obscurity.

To the best of your ability. It's a bit of a subjective area. So long as it looks like an attempt to go fast was made.

I see, well my initial point still stands that if you prefer to speedrun on newer versions of pj64 go for it, just don't expect your time to be accepted to the leaderboard.

He wants to use an xbox controller, so without some jank adapter that's probably a no go. Emulator should be allowed by default, unless it's so bad that games are unplayable. I'm curious what makes newer versions of pj64 less accurate to 1.6, cause last I checked there is no real accurate n64 emulation anyways.

Then run on a newer version of PJ64, don't let a leaderboard stop you. I'm not sure why newer versions aren't allowed, but maybe ask the forums for that game why. They can probably give a technical reason.

tldr just be frame perfect aint hard

Sounds like shit

Garfield Kart

its joke

Tracked on the leaderboards on SRC? No.

Can you do it fast? Uh yeah probably, godspeed

Yeah non games aren't tracked by SRC, but don't let that stop ya.

Based as fuck. Keep at it kid, ignore the haters.

RS, uh 19 years? CS 20-21ish years?

I guess no one says voip anymore :P

Get you a diaper and plenty of snacks.

Alternatively you could not drink or eat at all. No in, no out (or less of it anyways). Though depending on the game, cutscenes or any other unskippable section that requires no inputs are a good time to take a piss.

As for the loneliness, welcome to speedrunning. Your best option is to stream and hope someone chats with you, or hangout in a voip channel somewhere so you can shoot the shit with someone else.

In my experience it's better to get a broader feel for beating the game fast first, then go back and practice individual sections to perfect them.

Regardless it's up to the individual communities of each game. Splitting leaderboards site wide is a great way to piss off everyone that uses the site.

Yeah, no. Automatically splitting the two is definitely not a good idea. I mean the everdrive on NES can't do certain glitches in some NES games, so should flash carts be separate from actual hardware as well?

Ultimately it's up to each individual game's community to make those decisions, and the question of splitting the two should probably only come from major differences that can be accurately observed and not "one feels faster than the other" an argument people have used in the past.

It's how many WRs you have. Aight someone give me mod on a leaderboard so I can make 500 categories. I got some gold to farm.

ouch
