Some good and bad news regarding emulating this game! You can't emulate through MAME as it seems to be behind on quite a lot of the M2 games. However, there is an M2 emulator which can be found here https://segaretro.org/Model_2_Emulator We'll be likely adding it to the 'Resources' tab so it's easier for others in the future who want to try out the game. I believe flyingfox has addressed the fact that video evidence is required, but the M2 emulator isn't a particularly CPU intensive program so recording shouldn't be too much of an issue.
flyingfox will add a post to the forum for this game regarding what is added/changed or you can feel free to join the Sonic Speedrun Community Discord and ask more in the #other-classics channel.
Good luck CatBoo
Really looking forward to trying this game out! Just wondering if there were any particular strategies that worked well on the 2000 revision that I could translate over to this one. I've heard about the potential issues with speed and having to hold down L2? Sounds like an annoyance I might be able to get over :D
The "Note: newly submitted or approved runs may take a few minutes to appear. Thanks for your patience!" message is site-wide and has been added as SRC are adjusting their servers. This changes nothing to the verification time as stated in the SRC site rules. Yes it may seem misleading, but moderators can't remove this message.
ah fair enough. Is a Good Ending% going to be added at some point?
I don't have any of my own that I could set up yet, but could be a way of getting more activity..?
