A few suggestions and a few questions for this game's Leaderboards

Hi, I was wondering why there are different categories between Hardware and Emulation for this game. As far as I know, at least for Sega Rally 3, there shouldn't be any inconsistency between the actual arcade and the teknoparrot emulated version, so I was wondering if the emulated port actually has some inconsistencies compared to the console port counterpart.

I also have a suggestion for the sr.c page in general:

  • Since Sega Rally Online Arcade is a porting of Sega Rally 3, this page should be named after the original game, or at least have both names included in the title of the game. I also know the games have some differences between each other, like new cars in the Online Arcade version, so maybe it could even be better to split the two games into two different sr.c pages, but I'm not 100% well informed about the Online counterpart of the game, so I'm open to discussions about this.
  • Add a filter to distinguish vehicles used in the run
  • Add a filter to distinguish Manual or Automatic Transmission
  • Add a category for completing the whole Championship plus the Lakeside Extra Stage (To calculate the IGT, just add the Lakeside time to the previous three stages time)
  • Maybe differentiate between Sega Rally Online Arcade and Sega Rally 3? Since the Online Counterpart has different cars in the game

I'm open to discussions about everything I suggested. Thanks!

I was wondering why there are different categories between Hardware and Emulation for this game.

Because of the console version. Given the current state of RPCS3 it would be unfair to have them live on the same leaderboard as actual hardware runs.

Since Sega Rally Online Arcade is a porting of Sega Rally 3, this page should be named after the original game, or at least have both names included in the title of the game.

Wasnt done like this as that would get rather messy and confusing, plus it also seems that you solved this issue (along with differentiating between the 2 versions) by getting a board specifically for the Arcade version.

Regarding the filters. Is there a difference between the vehicles/transmissions that would actually warrant filters being created? I could maybe see the need for a Transmission filter but not a car filter.

Add a category for completing the whole Championship plus the Lakeside Extra Stage

I guess if theres interest? Right now its just me and 1 other person who have runs on this board so i dont really see the need to add additional categories.
