AntarcticaI got the run to show by changing the Difficulty feature to "Warlord", then it showed up.
The filter is set to "Any" by default so your run should show up regardless of the difficulty (and did after I selected "Warlord" first) so it looks like there is a wonky filter/default filter going on there
I noticed you only tweeted at him 30 minutes ago, give him some time to respond.
He was also active on the site 6 hours ago, so its very possible he'll verify your run when he logs in again or checks twitter. But if the run sits unverified after that or have been unverified for quite some time, then the game might have fallen off the mod's radar and you'll get mod.
You'll probably get a much faster (and better/more accurate response) on the Dolphin forums
Apparently. I picked myself up a few things before I reported it.
Gotta look good this summer.
Thats a question/concern/request to bring up with the moderators of the game.
Ask in the game's forum, the mods will be happy to help you.
Ahh. Something in my gut tells me OpenEMU will run faster than real console, so it may not be considered valid in that case. For GBC games, Gambatte is much more accurate. I think the Pokemon forums or resources might have a link to a version that is accurate. I'd recommend looking into that too.
[QUOTE]Is there no way to quote in speedrun forums? That's a shame =( [/QUOTE] You can quote, it's just not automatic and it doesn't trigger a notification. You just enclose the text you want to quote in [ QUOTE ] and [ /QUOTE ] (without the spaces after/before the hard-brackets.
For a GBC game, if you have access to a Gameboy Player that is almost always the best/preferred way to run those kind of games unless you really enjoy emulator for some reason. I would ask the mods of the game if they have specific emulator rules or only allow specific emulators, they'll be able to give you a definitive "yes/no".
Its a meme board. No runs have video because the game never came out. Game also doesn't require verification so people can do whatever they feel like.
This is a case of someone who got a hold of the LB for a non-existent game and now people are just spamming meme runs. Board should be deleted and idk how this game got accepted when it never came out in the first place.
The free version used to be much more limited back in like 2013-2014 (including a hideous watermark on all local recordings), but over the past couple years it's gotten to be much better in terms of what it allows under it's free download.
But yeah, OBS is usually recommended unless you run into issues with it for whatever reason, then give XSplit a shot.
aztek, you don't have to post here multiple times, all requests will be handled when kirkq checks here which is usually once a week. Unfortunately your post yesterday just missed him, so you'll have to wait until around next Sunday.
You don't have to pay for XSplit, it's free.
Buying an XSplit license only gives you the ability to stream at 60FPS and the ability to dual stream+local record. The former is overkill unless your stream quality is massively important to you and the latter can be worked around easily with a program like Amarec or vMix.
I assume you're trying to use some Elgato program/software and you don't want to do that.
You'll want to use broadcasting software like XSplit or OBS. With those programs, you can add whatever sources you want to the stream - facecam, gameplay from the elgato capture, images, splits, etc. Then you can use that to broadcast to Twitch. There are a ton of tutorials out there for both of them, but for what it's worth I find that XSplit is a bit more user friendly (however OBS is the recommend one from most people).
Download either and mess with it a bit to get a feel for how it works and then you can add whatever you want to the layout for your stream.
You need to run this request by the mods of the game. Either ask in the SMW forum or reach out to the mods another way (they have a discord). This thread is not for category requests, this is for adding games to series and changing the game type of a game on the site.
The mod of Flappy Bird is active on here daily, contact him and see if he needs help moderating the board.
Also, Racingmonster's appearance doesn't mean jack shit when reaching out to someone. Sure, he could have definitely added more context to any tweets he sent the guy (all I have is that one screenshot he posted to go off of, I don't know any of the history of this btw), but come on now, there is no reason to insinuate that just because he looks some way it's a problem.
And a tip for future posts, if the first sentence of your post is "No offense and all offense meant at the same time", you probably shouldn't post whatever follows because the second you start meaning offense to someone, that's when you need to stop posting.
Forgot to mention that Im on PS2 version. Can't imagine it would be any different for XBox/PC (unless the game messes with memory on those platforms).
While messing around with GCW attempts yesterday, I discovered a way to manipulate a perfect spawn (right next to a speeder bike) in Dune Sea. The downside is that this only works from a "clean slate" in the memory. In other words, it only works from a console reset.
A TL:DR can be found in the video I'll post in the message following this one.
This manip is rather simple to do and can be fun to do every now and then. First, it's important to understand how it seems the game stores your spawn locations. A note: this was ONLY tested on Dune Sea in GCW, but it should in principle hold for other planets in GCW (maybe in IA too?).
There are two components to a "spawn" - the first is where your cursor is on the map. For Dune Sea, there are two default locations: the Dune Sea command post and the Sandcrawler command post. The second component of the spawn is your location on the map when you spawn in at a command post. The game appears to store a giant list of these spawns (cursor location and position) in memory at some point during load up. I generated a table of the first 30 spawns in this list and will publish it once I verify I didn't make any mistakes.
So how does this list work? Basically, the game keeps a counter that starts at 1 (technically it probably starts at 0 because computers index things starting at 0, but for clarity's sake lets say it indexes starting at 1). The first spawn in the list is:
cursor: Sandcrawler position: to the right of the right speeder bike
You will ALWAYS get this spawn when picking Dune Sea GCW from a console reset. If you're curious, the next two spawns are:
cursor: Sandcrawler position: back left
cursor: Dune Sea position: back right
Now the next part is to talk about how the game increases this index that chooses your spawn. Currently, there are 3 things I know of that change this index:
- Choosing "Quit" and going back to planet select. This increases the index by 1.
- Your teammates movement on the map.
- Your ammo/the number of bullets you've shot. Not sure which value effects it and Idk if grenades impact it yet.
Capturing command posts and killing enemies are unknown to affect this because it's impossible to do either of these before your teammates spawn in and so it's not clear if either have a direct effect on it since your teammates's movement and their effect on it is so large/random. I'd assume capturing command posts messes with it since it has to update the master list with the new command post you control, same thing with losing a command post. The easiest way to influence this index is to do certain actions prior to your teammates spawning in. With the right actions, you can give yourself a perfect spawn next to a speeder bike.
From a console reset, select Dune Sea in GCW. Note, your cursor movements on any of the main menu screens have no effect on this, nor does the amount of time you spend on the main menu. Once you load into Dune Sea, spawn as a Stormtrooper. You'll notice you'll be at the first spawn I listed above. From here, shoot 8 bullets into the ground (your ammo left in your clip will now be 47). Now, quit out. When you select Dune sea again, you'll have your cursor on the Dune sea command post and when you select Sandcrawler you will spawn in next to a speeder bike for a perfect spawn.
For the record, it is NOT a 1:1 match for the number of bullets you shoot to your spawn in the master list. In other words, shooting 8 bullets and quitting out doesn't give you the 10th spawn (index incremented by 9). It gives you a spawn that is somewhere outside of the first 30. It's impossible to know for sure the spawn number it gives without compililng the entire master list to know the pattern in full (assuming when the game reaches the end of this master list it rolls back to the start of it). But that list could be 100s of spawns long.
Given that this only works from a console reset, this is absolutely not viable for grinding attempts as you'll go crazy after only a couple hours. Instead, it's mostly an interesting thing that shows that this game takes some shortcuts to determine some things and it isn't as random as may appear. It also shows what may be possible if more concrete methods of RNG manip are discovered. Watch the video in the next message to see it in action with an explanation similar to what I typed here.
He's not asking how to add them, he's already added them to the site.
He's just encouraging people who enjoy retro games or who are looking for a new game to run to check them out.
