California, USAHi
I have moved the Battle Game onto the main board for better visibility.
Also, I was unsure about the legality re: using the Linear Launcher in runs. Apparently it is banned on the CVX board (though not stated in the rules) but as I was unaware, I accepted runs using it. For that reason, I have split the board into runs with and without the LL.
A few people - myself included - have had issues switching from Disc 1 to Disc 2 after the Plane Tyrant fight.
Apparently this is a known issue, particularly when using a ROM of this game.
The solution is to make the save when prompted directly after the Tyrant fight (this does not count as an actual save - you will see it registers as save 00), restart with Disc 2, and load that save.
Annoying, but no negative effect on IGT so it's a solution.
The Redream emulator can be downloaded here:
We recommend the most recent stable version.
This is a pretty nice emulator - no thrills, but also no BIOS or firmware required. Controller and keyboard support, both of which are fully re-bindable.
If you need help finding a copy of the game let us know and we can point you in the right direction.
The original release of Resident Evil: Code: Veronica (i.e. on the Dreamcast) is not accepted on the Code: Veronica: X leaderboard, and so we have set up this board up to facilitate it.
Both Code: Veronica and Code: Veronica: X (exclusive to Japan*) were released on the Dreamcast, and so we will accept runs of either version - if you are playing a non-Dreamcast version of the game then you want to submit your run here:
Currently we have the standard categories for this game: Any%, S Rank, and New Game+ (or Rocket Launcher). If you would like to see any others then let us know.
For now, we have decided to forego the Glitched/Glitchless sub-categories on Code: Veronica: X - the reason being that the glitch is not possible on Code: Veronica and so that would essentially become the Glitchless run. You can, of course, decide to not use the glitch while running Code: Veronica X.
Console runs are encouraged, but we will also be accepting Emulator runs as original hardware can be hard to come by for some people - in the interest of fairness, console and emulator have been separated. Our recommended emulator is 'Redream' which we have tested and seems to work great; however, should you prefer a different emulator then that shouldn't be an issue.
Please read the Game Rules before recording your run. Any questions, suggestions, or whatever please let us know. We do not expect this to be a particularly busy board, so we can be flexible on things.
Mods.
*it has been brought to our attention that someone made a ‘fan’ version of CVX for the Dreamcast for the English speakers, as the DC release was exclusive to Japan. As long as there are no major differences in gameplay I think it’s fine to run that version if you have it.
Hi all
If anyone is interested in running Nemesis% Light (you coward) then I have taken the liberty of re-working the lss and asl files.
There is no definitive route atm but you probably don't need to reset the basement and don't need to go into the save room after you use the lighter - thus I have taken both of these out of the asl. You can still do both but the splits won't be affected by it.
I am not even sure you need to do early crank/gas station and so I have re-worked both the OG Nemesis% route (early crank/gas) and Any%. For Any% just leave the restaurant after the Nemmy fight, don't go into the basement.
You can re-name any of the splits just don't add or take any away. Credit to whoever wrote the scripts (I don't know who they are).
Let me know if you have any issues - Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Z6_MRC3m0_YuAjxeILSDFk0IgFX-izOk?usp=sharing
Edit: these only work with REbirth
Hi all.
I have decided to put this into its own thread rather than continuing threads started several years ago. I think it is time to re-open discussions about the categorisation of the leader boards for this game in the wake of the recent Door Skip mod and the rise of Emulator use. I appreciate that this has been a touchy subject in the past, and that there were mixed opinions on whether a re-shuffle was required. Obviously, the nuances of this game and it's many versions present problems, but I feel that we could reach a sensible solution - perhaps a good idea would be to bring together a number of suggestions (inc. 'keep things the same') and put it to a vote.
The thing is that is now evident that the fastest way to run this game is PS3 Emulator, but discussions in Discord have made it clear that a lot of interested runners simply do not have the setup to make this work for them. A healthy solution is to make the GC emulator a more attractive prospect; currently, it is not due to it's inherent time loss compared to the PS3 version. Of course, this also applies to the various differences in console versions. The consensus on that front is that it may be worth grouping together certain versions (i.e. PS2 and GC) but this can be discussed.
A community member has very kindly mocked up a test page to give people an idea of what a change might look like: https://www.speedrun.com/cvx_test#Any Again, what exactly falls under 'HD console' or 'SD console' would be discussed.
With all that said I think it is worth addressing some of the potential backlash, at least based on what has come before now. 'Filtering' is not a solution that appeals to the majority of people who look to a board and hope to compete; I appreciate it is there for a reason, but the fact is that this has turned people away from playing this game. Also, people may have a problem with alleged free WR hunters. While I feel like this isn't a genuine issue, if anyone feels strongly against this then I suggest that they either get over it or submit times to those boards themselves.
This is not about levelling playing fields, WRs, or any of that. I just want to see this game that we all love become more active because, frankly, it's been a graveyard for the past 3/4 years. I would also point out that whatever your feelings are towards gaming/speedrunning, forums like this should be about community, sharing ideas, making friendships. We should look to bring more people in by being open to new suggestions and ideas.
My second issue to raise is the lack of mod activity. Carcinogen is no longer a mod here I notice, and itsmiahere, TheMixedHerb, and sshplur have not been online for 8 months, 3, and 4 years respectively. I don't think the introduction of a couple new mods is a bad idea - I will offer my services if that's appropriate, and encourage anyone else interested to please make it known. I should point out that this is not a coup, currently active mods are doing a great job.
Anyway that's all I have to say for now. Let's try to keep this civil; we are all adults here.

PS. I have discussed some of the ideas here at length with people in private and in discord channels; however, I do not speak for anyone but myself. I encourage people to have their own say here if possible. Thanks
Hi - I have the PC version of this game but OBS refuses to recognise it. Anyone else had this issue? How are you guys running and capturing the game? Thanks
Not sure if its just me, but a heads up - the timer doesn't pause during door loads in the No Weapon category with Mudkicker's auto splits. Works fine for Any% and Best Ending. Ran it last night and was 20 mins behind my usual pace and couldn't understand why XD
Hey folks. I have been learning RE using my PS3 with a PSN download. There is no option to turn off the auto-aim, so I have been unable to perform the quick grenade-web strat without cumbersome aiming and turning. I saw a brief clip of someone using the knife, pause-cancelling, moving, and letting it's acid remove the web - is this my best option or am I missing something? Thanks.
