I'm not sure if more categories equals to more competition, especially as vision cars are no longer unlockable.. Though given the route differences between 1.00 and 1.22 I could maybe see the point of a glitchless category.

I'd like to run this game soon, probably not before a few weeks though because I'm waiting on some hardware right now.

I'm all for segmented categories for runs that are longer than say, 12 to 24 hours.

100% segmented seems like a nice challenge but probably won't attempt it personally.

I was thinking about doing a segmented All Dealership races run at some point though. All the fun bits, without the really tedious parts.

Normally you should have the DgVoodoo files in the MM2 folder, settings can be accessed by executing dgVoodooCpl(dot)exe.

Here are my DgVoodoo and in-game settings, in case that helps: https://imgur.com/a/GKWgXWh

I'm a little surprised that putting the game on an SSD had no effect.

Hiya! It's not easy getting decent loading times indeed(or just getting it running on a recent-ish machine for that matter), it took me a while to figure out the right settings too. What OS do you use? Are you using DgVoodoo?

You only need audio if you're faster than 1:55. I am guessing it's to make splicing/cheating a little harder.

Any% sounds tempting, there's a couple games I'd like to do first, though.

Thanks.

Hiya, thanks for adding this game, just had two minor issues however:

1. "Renault" cannot be selected as a manufacturer while submitting a run, even though a Clio is available in Super 1600.

2. Rules say "Only intitial cars allowed", I am assuming this means stage evolutions are banned?

Cheers

I'd be in favor of scrapping "modified race settings" from anything other than individual levels, personally. We're already using the gtr-1 for like 90% of any% already. IMO "New game+" categories don't make much sense if leaderboard activity is low and potential time gains are minimal.

Cool stuff, thanks!

I wanna focus on CMR for now, but i'll try to make an RBR run sometime in the Summer.

Hello. I plan to run this game sometime this year. I was wondering if it could be possible to have a category for original physics on any%, like on the level leaderboard?

Allowing third party content on speedruns(outside of compatibility/aesthetic purposes) is highly unusual, especially when it makes significant changes to the game like NGP. Furthermore, to my understanding NGP is still WIP and may change at any time. I am not against people running NGP at all - it is not a bad idea if it is the most used patch today - I just think it should have its own catgory.

I know that people making requests while not being active on a particular game is outside the etiquette here, but the sooner changes are made the easier it is, and I think it is better to start the discussion now rather than wait for people to fill the leaderboards.

Thanks!

I think Pro is great all around, the tricky thing with it is the lack of handling makes it harder to avoid wrecks in Stock Car.

Well done Tylgar for the WR! Nice to see new people on this game!

I wonder is Wrecking Racing will be faster than Stock Car one day?

Ah too bad. Thanks for the answer though

Small detail but there is no Normal difficulty for Group B - is there a possibility to remove it from the leaderboards?

For sake of transparency, HoJlno and I used psxfin with scph5501 bios, which has freakishly fast loading times(at least as fast a real PS2), but has some input lag.

I'm done with emulators personally, probably won't run this game until I move to real hardware.

I like having the timer stopping at the end screen because it keeps it consistent with the "Any Races" category, where if you run risky strats you'll lose more often than not.

Beside, it's only a few seconds in the end.
