Soooo... emulators are fully banned (for unknown reason). Since there are not reasons and solutions to make them allowed, there are possible solutions.

1. Emulator rules It is known that emulators are not accurate enough so there should be rules, that makes emulators able to compete console players. One of the most used emulator is "ePSXe" so:

• Video plugin: ePSXe GPU Core 2.0.0
• Sound plugin: ePSXe SPU Core 2.0.0
• CDrom plugin: ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 2.0.0
• CPU overclocking: 1x
• GTE Hack NOT allowed
• CPU Mode: Dynarec
• FPS Limit: OFF
• Frame skipping: OFF
• Sound effects MUST be allowed (to avoid speed up emulation)
• Save states are NOT allowed
• Other modifications are NOT allowed

These settings make emulator compatible with console players as well. Other emulators needs settings too. Also there should be list of banned emulators.

2. Category for emulators Next solution is simple, just splitting console players from emulators. Personally I think the best place is "Misc" category because they are "hidden". The settings that I posted below must be used too.

3. Gran turismo 2 [Emulators only] Third (and last) solution is not the best but it can work. Submit GT2 again but for emulators only. Also, rules should be for each emulator to make things correct.

So these three solution proves that emulators can be allowed. GT1 have not allowed emulators too so these solutions can be used in GT1 as well. I think it will be best if all 3 moderators share his opinion. Disabled emulators is problem number one of dead boards :/ .

Have a good day.

Hello everyone,

So, I get moderation permissions so I can keep alive these leaderboards. I want to make IL boards and maybe new categories? Well, if you have ideas, share it here :) .

Hello,

I think there should be more interesting categories like quests, exploring wasteland, collecting exact items or reaching for example 100k caps? I have more ideas, if you accept ideas... Also if you give me supermod, I can make theme for this boards :). You can contact me here or on discrord :)

Please, If you submit a run, submit it 3 TIMES. First to "Global", second to class (GT3, GT2 etc) and last one to correct BHP (Every car have it in-game in description). Also, don't forget to include miliseconds.

Thanks.

Hello,

I think it will be interesting to add IL with custom maps (Or campaign maps). Is it possible?

Thanks.

What means "equipmentless"? I dont know if that name fits to this "category", but I still dont get better name for it.

Its category, where you must start without anything. No primary and secondary weapons, no support weapons and no items. But not only this. Here are list, what you can and cannot do/use:

• You can't start with Primary and Secondary weapons, Support weapons and items.

• You can't start with Buddy and Vehicle.

• You can't play as Raiden or Cyborg Ninja and can't wear Bandana (also Infinity Bandana) or Parasite suit

• You can't use Supply drops, Buddy supports, Fire supports and Helicopter supports (Helicopter ONLY for pickup)

• You must disable "Reflex mode"

• You can use everything you will find DURING mission (Weapons and vehicles) but you CAN'T prepare anything before mission (like stole a vehicle or use supply drop before mission)

• You can wear any clothes you like (except these what i mentioned above)

• You can play as Snake or Mother Base Soldier (With Snake you can use ONLY Bionic Arm, no matter if stock, silver or gold)´

Why it should be added to categories? Well, Any% is classic, you can use everything you want. Any% S - Rank is the same like Any% but you can't use some items. All tasks let you use everything you want, like any% but you must complete all tasks. Perfect Stealth, no kills, again, you can use everything like in All tasks and Any%. No Traces, pretty similar like Any%, All tasks and Perfect stealth, no kills. So you are able to fill up to 4 categories with one run. It let you use OP items that make runs very easy and monotonously way to play every category.

"Equipmentless" is totally different with this. You must find new (usually harder) way to complete mission as fastest as you can. I think this is what is missing in leaderboards, that extreme category which is does not resemble to the others.

I made runs to prove difference between existing categories. It's a "new" way of playing. Also I agree with adding rules like "Disable HUD" or "Disable crosshair" to make it even harder.

Hi,

I want to play with character mods, is it ok? Its just a mod which change Mother Base Soldiers to the different ones (especially the women ones), no benefits with this while gameplay :) .

I did changes:

• Wrote rules to every category
• Changed theme to more "V-rally 2" menu style
• Deleted "shortcut?" variable
• (In progress) Level leaderboards

Hello guys,

I'm suprised there aren't level leaderboards.It can be interesting to see how many miliseconds will split the first three records. I think im not alone who is interested :) .

Hi,

I was thinking about category extensions for this game. It will be interesting to add shorter speedruns like story missions and so. ? I requested it but sadly, im not moderator so it has been rejected. I have no problems to moderate these extensions but any moderator from here must request it. Can someone please? ?

Hello,

I think it will be more better to change level leaderboards to the normal story missions. Just imagine how many new routes will be discovered thanks to this! :)

Hey PurpleSunDeryl,

Because im not the Super Mod, I ask you first before i do something.

I have android version, PC version and Xbox 360 version. Android and Xbox version include only Normal mode, PC including Normal and Extreme. I found really big changes in these two modes so I think its better to split some levels to "normal" and "extreme (PC only)".

Also, the Full-game leaderboards should be splitted, too. I tried it and I was better in normal about 3 minutes after first chapter.

I said "I dont want to change rules" but I now I see its better to rework it. I know how to improve it :)

Hi PurpleSunDeryl,

I have a question. Can I become moderator for this game? I dont want to edit rules or something, I just want to make graphic for this leaderboard and approve runs, thats all :).

Hi,

do you need a verifer? :) I have much experience with this game, im preparing for any% run :). If you need any verifer or moderator, add me. Im active every day :).

Well, in "Richard Burns Rally" leaderboards, i have 2 categories and 4 subcategories. Categories are NGP and ORIGINAL, subcategories are [NGP] Class, [NGP] Car, [ORIGINAL] Class, [ORIGINAL] Car. Basically, if i choose NGP category, I must choose NGP Class and Car if i submit a run. But, in NGP category leaderboard, if filter is set to "Any", No runs are there. I must choose the used class and car to find that right run, after that, i can change it all back to "any" and run will not disappear until i refresh the page. It looks like a bug.

edit: When i choose "any" in filters (even when its already choosen), the runs appear. It doesnt make any sence, "any" means anything, any value right? Its choosed by default, why i must to click on it in every subcategory again?
