Check out my VERY REAL and LEGIT sub-30 second All Trophies run.

I can definitely save a few more seconds probably.
I dub this category Debug%.
@davidvkimball I know. Thought the winky face was an indicator that i understood it xD
Are iso loaders on the Wii allowed for the emulator category (my disc reader is dead on my Wii as I do have a disc...my original plan was to buy a new Wii before I saw the runs were split)?
Well I don’t know how the loading times compare with ISO loaders vs original or emulator. But it would be more fair to be put under the emulator category for the time being. If there ends up being an advantage we can split it further or just ban loaders if needed.
Just make sure to mention that you’re using ISO loader (and which one/version) in the submission.
Well, I would hope I wouldn't be in a spot to do 20+ hour run on an ISO loader just to have it banned later.
Is there any way we can define this (or perhaps does anyone know how much faster it can/may be?). I'd be specifically using NINTENDON'T.
I don't think me or any of the other mods are too familiar with Iso loaders. Tho i have been using them myself. I can at least speak from the Mario Sunshine community that an iso loader depending on the situation is not allowed. For example. Nintendon't is not allowed with use of an ISO or a disc. Because you are able to enable some form of a fast read time to have loading zones go by quicker. I think the only iso loader they allow is Swiss but that is only for launching a Disc. Not an ISO.
That being said. I could 100% be wrong and this is only what i have heard from the Sunshine community. My thoughts is if we were to allow Nintendon't/Swiss. We would have to set it as a separate category. However we can't insure that the loading times will be the same for each run. If someone uses an ISO and one uses Disc with Nintendon't. We can't exactly explain which one would be faster and times may vary from one run to another.
Probably to be safe I'll just go my original route of buying a new Wii. I was lookig to run other Wii/GC games anyway, probably best for me.
Thank you for all the assistance.
I just got sub 19 hours in this run on console, the current world record!
I submitted my run, but accidentally submitted the VOD instead of the highlight.
Can this be used instead?
You can just edit your submission if you want to change the video link.
Why wait until it’s approved? If you do it after it will be resubmitted and has to be verified again. Easier to just fix it now honestly.
@Nordanix Thank you for suggestion and approving the run. I'll be creating a mini documentary about this category for my YouTube channel!
Hey @SukeSJ, Pablo's PC crashed in the middle of his run. If he correctly documents the real time it took to power back on and continue his run, could it still be valid? VODs are up on his channel rn you can see for yourself. I just want to try to give him a heads up about it as soon as I can, because I wouldn't want him to continue another run that's invalid.
@davidvkimball Thank you for letting us know. Sadly since the SRC forums are horrible at giving notifications. I just received it 3 hours ago so that's why i haven't responded. I will be hearing with the other mods and we'll see what we choose to do. I see also that Pablo in their run submission shared a highlight list of both runs and claims that between the crash and the second run starting was approximately 5 minutes. I don't know as of yet if we'll include that as there is no way for us to really verify how long it truly was without having been there waiting til Pablo went live again. (Unless I'm mistaken)
Again tho. I will be checking it with the other mods and we'll see what we decide to do. Thanks again for letting us know
@SukeSJ Completely understand! Hoping for his sake it works out, but either way appreciate your responding despite SRC notification quirks ha! I also just submitted my run from Saturday, where I accidentally paused for about 27 seconds. But the frames are constantly displayed on-screen so hopefully there shouldn't be much issue there. Cheers!
We recently said to allow the "Hyrule Code" for runs, but as @SukeSJ said in the Changelog Forum Post [quote=SukeSJ] the decision we made with Hyrule Code and UCF was made extremely quickly by us moderators.[/quote]
And it indeed was a hasty decision with little to no discussion. Now we have dec
