well considering you mentioned running with a burned disc in a different post, most likely something to do with that and we can't really help you on that front

There's no way of checking what type of disc you use and if there's a difference in loads it tends to be that burned discs load slower if anything, so I wouldn't worry about it (though wait for confirmation from mods to be sure)

Gonna recycle my anwser from the thread a few months ago asking the same question:

"Basically every non-emulator gamecube run you see on the board is playing on a wii, since it's much easier to capture in high quality, so definitely go for it"

livesplit only matters for super hard mode, the rest of the categories don't need it

if you want to do splits for comparison anyway (most runners do), use real time

the rules of the category elaborate how timing should be done, but it basically comes down to the below

for every individual level, use the stage timer for story categories, use the file time for all a ranks, use real time for super hard mode, use the in-game time calculator that was created specifically for the category

Do try to keep it to one reply to have a clearer overview of how many different runners we have, if you get a new PB just update your original reply

Because at the time the requesters only had interest in All Modern Stages. If people that are interested in running All Classic or All Avatar follow the same steps they did then they can become categories, but so far noone has been interested in doing so

Good point JH, here's an alternative colour scheme

And just in case, here's a third version of the list containing only the banned tricks, anything missing from this list is allowed

Hey folks, after some interest in the category and a buuuunch of discussion in the discord, we've reached a consensus on what a No Major Glitches category should look like. So now that we have a consistent ruleset, there's only one step to go for those interested: run it!

This thread shall be used as a collection-point for runs to gauge how many people are truly interested in running Egg Shuttle - No Major Glitches. So please post videos of your runs in the replies of this thread. If you continue running past the example run, please edit your original post to have only the video of your fastest time.

Q: How many runs are needed for the boards to become a thing? A: 5 runs! For completely new and clear categories we usually stick to 3, but since discussion has shown that this is a bit of a messy category definition and runs can currently already be submitted to the existing Egg Shuttle boards, we opted for a bit of a higher run count.

Q: Where on the boards will the category be added? A: It will be added as a subcategory of the Egg Shuttle boards, with normal Egg Shuttle being the default.

Q: What will the name be? A: No Major Glitches or NMG for short. We've found in discussion that no category name immediately jumps out as a perfect fit and ultimately the name matters little, so why not stick to the name that started the idea in the first place. If the community prefers a name change later down the line that is easily done.

Q: What are the rules? A:

  1. No 3D in 2D
  2. No clipping through solid walls/floors/objects
  3. No section skips achieved through community-decided "major" glitches
  4. No boss quick kills achieved through community-decided "major" glitches

Additional notes:

  • When in doubt about whether a glitch is considered for this category, please consult the list in the master thread on the forum
  • Accidental clips do not disqualify your run as long as you do not benefit from them, so either take a death or go back the way you came.

Q: What tricks are considered a major glitch? A: After lots of discussion, the community decided on the list below. Everything in red is banned. Some tricks are displayed in green for clarity's sake, since they were brought up during the discussion phase, but ultimately allowed. Anything not listed below is fair game as well. (thank you Nuh for making the initial version of this list for the discussion) https://puu.sh/IYlDe/06e6ff06d4.png

We do not allow that sorry. For every mod that is supposedly just visuals/audio we'd need to test thoroughly to check if that is actually the case. A lot of work for something without any practical use. Please limit mod use to the two listed mods only.

No and also unrelated to the topic

Not enough interest. For LTS people usually just go with emulator since console versions control better.

The glitches are the main appeal of PC really

If we made the split now, we'd make relatively empty boards even emptier

"The window's title bar showing the emulator version, framerate, etc. must be visible in the video."

That's because it's fastest for every stage, so the "Any Wispon" category is already dominated by it. The other wispon categories are only a thing because people wanted something other than Drill for a change

If there's enough interest in it, I don't see why not. Feel free to use this thread as a collection for example runs and discuss stuff like category name and rules. Perhaps something like "All Acts".
