Hello SADX Runners,

Today, we have a few changes to leaderboard rules for you all. Nothing too major though.

First, you may have noticed that the PC/Steam board is ranked by In-game time now.

IGT has been a major topic for a lot of you, we originally started collecting IGT since September 10th, 2017 and I know many people have been waiting for it to become the main timing method for SADX PC and Steam. Well, it's finally done, thank you all for your patience.

Consoles are still ranked by RTA as they are separated from PC/Steam board. Also, reminder than SADX IGT is a framecounter which represents the what your time would be if there were 60 frames in a second, so we can't really use it on consoles.

The other rule change we have in place regards Voice modifications. This is unrelated to Music modifications.
Voice clip modification is prohibited as they impact in the game directly, however, you may delete voice clips or swap between the Japanese and English Variants as you please. The basic premise being no custom voice clips.

For more information, please check the rules.

If any of you have questions regarding these changes, feel free to ask here.

I have a question:

I recently installed the BetterSADX mod packs.
If in the Mod Manager configuration I uncheck all the mods (leaving active only the input fix) is my run allowed?

BetterSADX is not allowed
If you want to use xinput fix you have to use the disc version

Alright but if I launch the steam version (using the SADX Mod Manager) with this settings is allowed?
I have deactivated everything!

I don't think so. Even if you uncheck all the mods, some files are still changed because of better sadx. The best solution is just to uninstall and make a clean installation of the game.

I'm new here; Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, breaking rules, just uninformed or all 3.

"...SADX IGT is a framecounter which represents the what your time would be if there were 60 frames in a second..."
I thought that IGT measured time in proportion to an in-game FPS as opposed to RTA, which I also thought was only for IGT immeasurable games, of which FPS can only fairly be measured in proportion to a presumed constant maximum frame limit.

The only reason "Traditional IGT" isn't used in SADX ie. the sum of all stages as it's done in SA2B is because there is no timer that runs during the hub world segments. Therefore, "SADX IGT" is the number of frames between starting and finishing the run, which is tracked via a Livesplit plugin and is necessary because the PC version does not operate at a stable framerate.

As for the rules, they're literally on the front of the leaderboard under "View rules".
