Hello! I notice the WR run of this game has an unconverted SGB time as the recorded time.
The standard for most GB speedruns is to convert SGB times; since the SGB runs faster relative to a normal Game Boy. " Hardware: If you play on the original Super Game Boy (SGB), please submit your run with a coverted time (http://nudua.com/convert). This is because the SGB uses the clock speed of the SNES, not the GB, and runs 2.4% faster (https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Super_Game_Boy_timing). "
I was wondering if this was unknown to the runners and mods or if it was a choice of the board to allow for the game to run too fast? If allowed; it gives a massive advantage relative to original hardware.
Thanks!
Hello!
I was wondering if you could tell me what emulator was used for this speedrun?
And since some emulators vary greatly in accuracy; I was wondering if we could added accepted and banned emulators to the rules.
The standards for GB Speedruns is to blanket ban VBA for it's extreme inaccuracy and whitelist bgb and Gambatte for being well testing and the most accurate.
Thanks
I was just wondering if we could get SGB2 and GBI added as platforms for this game? Since they're so common in the GB Speedrunning community. :)
Thanks!
The Icon for this board is too wide.
See:
This should be the proper sized box art:
I only run GB games, so I notice this one being too wide every time I look at my page. :p
I was wondering why VBA was allowed for this board.
Generally it's banned for Game Boy speed runs because it runs at an inconsistent frame rate. (Unlike the SGB1 which runs consistently fast, so it's time can just be adjusted.)
I noticed SGB is also not listed as a platform (presumably since it runs too fast); but it's time can be converted to the correct frame rate, VBA however cannot be converted to accurate time
I was wondering if there was some reason SGB is banned but VBA is allowed. If it's just an oversight, perhaps we could change the rules? :)
Thanks!
I was just wondering if there is a reason submissions for Trip World only allow for the GBC as the platform?
Is there a reason that GB, SGB2, GBP, GBI etc, runs are not accepted?
Thanks!

I'm wondering about the WR run for this game.
It seems it was recorded on an SGB1, but the time hasn't been converted to account for the different frame rate (http://nudua.com/convert). This means that the run is around 2% faster than it would run on a GB, GBC, GBA, SGB2, Game Boy Player, or any other real hardware.
Do you think it could be possible to adjust the current WR time, and add the other platforms as options? This would make the game more accessible as well as also making it more accurate. :) As is, the only way to really compete in this game would require runners use the wrongly timed SGB1 as the hardware.
Thanks!

I was just wondering if there is a reason submissions for Amazing Spiderman only allow for the GB as the platform?
Is there a reason that GBC, SGB2, GBP, GBI etc, runs are not accepted? I currently use the SGB2 for recording.
Thanks.

I was just wondering if there is a reason submissions for Fortified Zone only allow for the GB as the platform?
Is there a reason that GB, SGB2, GBP etc, runs are not accepted? As I currently use the SGB2 for recording.
I also have copies of the cover for this game too, to add as the image for the leaderboard.
Also, I'm not quite sure what the 'view rules' are referring to; but it would probably be more helpful to at least list the start and stop points for the time. :)
Thanks.

Is there a requirement to be on High or Low for speed for these categories? I notice it's not specified in the rules.
Thanks! Legs
Do you think we could have: " -Timer starts on pressing "New Game" -Timer stops on screen fadeout after Jinbe fight " added to the rules?
I'm trying to convince more people to run this game and the timing rules being visible would be nice so they don't have to check existing runs. :)
Thanks! Legs
I was just wondering if there is a reason submissions for Daedalian Opus only allow for the GBC as the platform?

I also think we should add a list of legal emulators to the Game Rules to ensure timing. This is a common stipulation in most Gameboy games I run.
For the Gameboy I suggest allowing 'bgb and gambatte'; the standard allowed GB emulators.
Just a thought!

I was just wondering if there is a reason submissions for Mole Mania only allow for the GBC as the platform?
Is there a reason that GB, SGB, SGB2, GBP etc, etc runs are not accepted? I'd like to submit some runs for it, but I only have a SGB to record with at the moment, and a SGB2 on the way.
Thanks; I'm new to the community and am not sure of the policies about this.
