Thanks!
Similar to most console players, most emulator players aren't trying to cheat, and if someone really wants to cheat, having to play on console won't really stop them (it's really easy to get something like a turbo/macro button on a custom controller to TAS on a real console). Obviously, its easier with emulation, but its not very difficult with just about anything as even newer consoles allow most USB controllers which can allow you to easily connect stuff like that.
I really like this site lol, also too lazy to make my own. Also the wii/gc/wii u emulators aren't exactly all that new with dolphin coming out in 2003 (almost 18 years ago now). Although cemu is kind of new which is why I can understand disallowing it. I can get why people wouldn't want cheating on the boards, but that's why there'd be a subcategory.
We are very interesting on a Ninji category but are going to wait a little "If Nintendo adds any final Ninji-Related features to the game before we add it on the leaderboard". Expect the category soon.
I'm not trying to disregard anyone's opinion on this thread, I'm just trying to have a discussion on emulation in speedrunning and trying to better understand what people are saying, sorry if I'm coming off as an ass.
@Komrade I understood the point you made. I was just explaining my thoughts on emulation on the leaderboards. I enjoy speedrunning just as much as anyone else on this site, and I would easily speedrun a game without it having a leaderboard. However, having a leaderboard to compare to and compete with often makes it far more enjoyable for me personally to speedrun as I enjoy competing with other people. If that wasn't the case, there'd be very little reason for this site to exist (in my opinion), but I'm glad it does.
Is there some way to see the status of a request that you made in the support hub? Previously for adding games / requesting moderation you could just check if you posted/requested it, but I don't see any kind of confirmation for anything I do in the hub and have no real way of remembering exactly what I asked, leading to a higher chance of duplicate requests. Is there some way to get them to notify you via email or something that your request is being processed like any other support forum?
Can you add shorter categories such as cup runs to this game? I don't think I would want to do a 300 track speedrun since that takes forever.
Couldn't find it in resources or guides, where do I download this hack?
Where can you download this game / get the patcher for this game? I can't find it anywhere in guides/resources.
@Omar @IlluminaTea I'm down to help, but is there a link to this game somewhere?
