If you're looking for meme games, Karoshi Suicide Salaryman and Super Karoshi are two old flash game treasures that have some potential and aren't too competitive yet, but they're rather short when compared to shrek (5-10 minutes at most).

I mean, someone's gotta be the first runner, might as well be you :)

Changelog for v0.8.0:

• Added support for XEBRA! Currently only supports XEBRA 2020-04-05 and I don't currently plan on expanding to other versions. If you're using another version of XEBRA and would like to see support for it, please let me know. :)

[quote=Komrade]You're not going to convince the people that disallow emu by trying to convince others.[/quote]

@Komrade While I agree that the mods that're currently disallowing emulators on boards probably have a somewhat strong stance on the matter, we also have to take into account that leaderboards on this site are not owned by the game mods, but rather they're run by their respective community. With that in mind, convicing others might actually be a valid strategy to get some changes done.

I mean, if we didn't have these sort of discussions every now and then people wouldn't really have a chance to change their opinion, so we might as well see where this leads us.

"Is giving myself an unfair advantage inaccesible to other runners considered cheating?"

Dunno man, it's really hard to tell

I don't know man, that's a lot of pressure for just one person

Good luck running this tho

Alright, that clears that up. Thanks!

I figure it's not that it's hard to implement such changes, but rather that they're focusing on fixing the little things that rolling out the Support Hub broke, such as Game/Moderation Request Notifications and such.

Besides, they'll probably roll out all the moderation changes together in one package as opposed to rolling them out one change at a time, so it's gonna take some time I guess.

This entire thread is a duplicate post bug.

Hello everyone!

Monsters, Inc. Scream Team is personally one of the games from my childhood and one I have fond memories of, so I might attempt to start doing runs in the near future for it.

With that in mind, I wanted to ask if there was a list of specific allowed emulators (and possibly what version in particular) or if it's open for the runner to decide, so as to avoid issues in that regard. I normally use ePSXe 1.9.0, but if that's not allowed I could adapt.

Thanks in advance!

There's a couple of factors that came into play:

• For starters, I used to not like to replay games I had already completed as a norm. Usually it'd make me feel like I was repeating games for no reason and I was essentially wasting my time (which I now know that this is the case for all games, whether you completed them or not :) ).

• This resulted in me subconsciously developing a very janky approach to playing games: I kept dropping games half-way through for long periods of time, to the point where by the time I got back to them, I had to restart them to get a refresher of the story and/or the mechanics of the game in question. Ultimately, this led to me knowing the first third/half of most games I played like the palm of my hand while also practicing core mechanics quite a bit, which ties in very nicely with speedrunning.

• ...unfortunately, this also meant I was out of my element on the latter stages of most games, so I usually have to do some casual playthroughs to force myself to beat the game first before I attempt speedruns. Nowadays I don't have the same issues I previously had with this, so it's not a big deal.

• As a result of me not wanting to replay games I've already completed for no reason, I was kinda looking for an excuse to replay them, and speedrunning was perfect for that task: it allowed me to push the gameplay to new heights, giving me a new challenge and something to look forward to while playing old games, which really adds to the replayability of any game (no matter how easy it was previously).

• As a small side note, I was on the verge of starting this hobby for quite a bit before I actually began, but the one thing that encouraged me to start was when Stan Lee died. Yes, exactly like you just read. You see, I'm a really big fan of Spider-Man 2000 and it's a game I've played to death, so when Stan Lee died, I thought it'd be a nice gesture to dedicate my first speedrun of SM 2000 in his honor (which was also my first speedrun ever so, y'know, big deal). Of course, I didn't know it back then, but your first run for any game always stinks, so in the end I never publicly acknowledged this. I'm sure I also had other more selfish reasons to start doing this in the first place, but there's no denying that without that small nudge it'd have taken me even longer to realize I'd like this hobby, so for that I'm grateful.

tl;dr I started speedrunning because I'm dumb and I used to play games the wrong way. Also Stan Lee is ded

EDIT: Just go with the alternative below this post.

[quote=Arcotoko]Keep in mind we already have tabs for some games for "emulator" scores, as they may be considered less valid or otherwise reasonable to separate for certain games.[/quote]

While I don't dislike the idea of having a Legacy tab, I'd like to point out that those are not the reasons that emulators are separated from console runs: it's not that they are less valid per se but rather that, barring some old consoles, they usually run differently to the original console they emulate, meaning that comparing console vs emulator isn't feasible in those cases.

The reason I bring this up is that this reasoning is different from the one you're using for the Legacy tab: while the emulator tab exists because console vs emulator run differently and can't be compared, in this case legacy vs default certainly would be able to be compared, but they'd just be separated due to a lack of evidence.

This isn't a dealbreaker or anything and I still like the idea, but it's something to bear in mind.
