Luck of the draw in all honestly, plus if you see that a run breaks even one rule, you stop checking it and you move on. The same cannot be said for a valid run, although generally speaking we wouldn't be spending 15hrs on 3min run.

This is a categories extension run, meaning it's not for a main category. This run can be performed on any platform where it is possible to replicate what is required to complete the run.

Alternatively, everyone just starts using it and we manually retime every run. If everyone is running the game overclocked, everyone is on equal grounds, and thus, not "cheating". If need be, you can filter between real hardware and emulator runs on sr.c, so there is also that if you feel that it'd be unfair towards people running on real hardware (of which there are not many.)

Done, in the future please only submit via In-Game Time.

As long as you don't disappear on us like the last dude, sure.

that was me, sorry about that :D haven't been verifying too many runs recently and didn't notice it cuz of this new layout

No.

No.

Do a run and we'll see

Okay so, I've played through the game on PS2 (US Version) and I'm aware I'm a little late but I can confirm that it is in fact possible to get 100% and the issue might very well be something to do with you missing some hidden race which doesn't appear in the world map screen in the garage or something to do with the sponsors.

It is pretty much impossible to avoid timebug simply because of how the game works. It is completely random and it appears in other Blackbox titles, with each game having their own quirks in regards to how the timebug manifests.

If you perform one and link it here, we'll be able to add the category and set some rules for it. Thank you in advance! :D

We also have a fix for that mentioned in Guides.

I actually did do my research as there are several versions of Mashed. Mashed: Drive to Survive (the one this leaderboard is for, as it is currently) is the original 2004 release. The one you're thinking of is Mashed: Fully Loaded which is the 2005 release, that is an updated version. I have done my research. There are not enough differences between the 2004 release and the 2005 release to warrant a different leaderboard. The statement about the game being "bug free" is false, as the game, regardless of platform is buggy. Even more so when emulated. There is also a fix for the bug on PC, but as of right now I do not remember what it was.

okaaay les go

I'd like to add them, but I don't have an exactly ETA on when that'll be. There's plenty of things I need to go through and some thinking that needs to be done before they're all set in stones. Looking forward to seeing runs from you though! Feel free to do some runs in advance and submit them all at once whenever I add ILs.

I think it's just you. Select any track and then any category and then just press on the Rules button. If you're still not seeing them then there's probably an issue on your end.

thanks for the reminder to lock this, very cool

Could you please elaborate exactly what you mean?

There is also the fact that you are, no offense, a little too young. We'd also prefer for the moderators of the game to be people who a bit more knowledgeable in how the game works. Also yadda yadda 21 days to verify run.
