Bristol, EnglandWhat you're talking about has been done without sfx here (on n.tropy): http://www.speedrun.com/run/9mrop6dm
I wouldn't recommend using emu on PS2 how you've described it.
You could just continue on emulator, iirc it's not too big a deal for ctr. Another alternative would be soft modding your PS2 to run burned discs (there should be a lot of how-to videos on the internet).
"Rules for the Pocketstation:
Only one Pocketstation can be used in the run. You can't use the following cards: #721 Dark Magic Ritual & #722 Magician of Black Chaos."
That is a quote from the ruleset for NG+ (If you're unaware pocketstation is JP exclusive)
As for the 100% thing, I can happily agree that it's an arbitrary requirement, but the community was happy with it and it limits the possibility of cheating being done. I think you should realise how arbitrary 100% is for fm to begin with.
Locking the thread, if anything else needs to be contributed probably best to do so in the discord.
I am very DISAPPOINTED in the recent actions of the playforia community. I have recently had a run removed for a very arbitrary reason. First let's have a look at the rules:
"Timing starts when the 2nd player joins the lobby. Timing ends when both balls enter the hole in the 10th track.
Set the number of tracks to "10", the track type to "only hole-in-one", when ball goes in water to "back to start" and ball collision "on".
Skipping tracks is banned."
Me and F1 followed every rule... The rules do not state that stroking out is banned or that your stroke out limit has to be 20. It just says 'Skipping tracks is banned' which we didn't do. Please verify our run now.
I have added this rule to all the categories and made it clear that all segments of a 100% run must be streamed and highlighted or saved elsewhere for view.
I think the only 2 that should be added at this point are for Spyro 1, and they should be Cheat% and Vortex%
Not to say I am opposed to adding more, those are just the only ones I personally care to see on the leaderboards.
I would like to nominate myself for the mod role. I've been around in the community for a fairly long time and have a great knowledge of fm, also im pretty much always on srcom. I also consider myself to at least know of all of the community and am acquainted with the majority.
I appreciate what Mergy is now doing and I truly do apologise if he is telling the truth.
From my perspective this video of him replicating it for a second time makes me even more uneasy about this. I would in fact say I am more convinced after that.

I just don't want everyone to ignore the facts, we know one sure cause for the 000 drop is the drop pool not adding up to 2048, there are no other confirmed ways of this happening, and it's not looking likely that there would be. Mergy has always had a suspicion of this sort of stuff from a multitude of people and for me and many others this is the nail in the coffin.
For those of you who disagree, continue your 'research' and stuff, I would like to be proven wrong.
As Mart said this category will pretty much never be implimented on the boards but don't be discouraged from doing it. This has been done before by a handful of people, your run will still have to be submitted under the 100 egg category if you wish to go on the leaderboard, maybe one day if you do run like that you might get more confident and choose to learn the glitches and skips.
He doesn't want to take over he just wants the leaderboard to be fixed, he doesn't expect and will not receive any power.
