If I beat my own personal record, which also happens to be the current world record, what's the correct way to write it in the video title on YouTube? I wrote something like ''Game XYZ Speedrun [WR][PB]''. Is that wrong? Should I just write [WR] again, even if it's an improvement over the previous record?

English is not my first language, and I'm relatively new to speedrunning, so I honestly don't know.

I was just curious why it's so easy for bots and spammers to create accounts here. Is there really no way to prevent this? Could it be a lack of manpower, or perhaps the site lacks an effective anti-bot system?

Is there a way to do it on the site? Or maybe some list somewhere would do the trick.

I'm looking for games where what matters for validation is the IGT, like Daytona USA or Sega Rally 95 for example.

I submitted two runs for Daytona USA, and it’s been 21 days since then. There is only one mod for the game, and they’re not active on the site. I’ve waited for 21 days, and today I sent them a message using the message button on the site, and also tried to contact them through one of their social media links.

What should I do now? I’m new to the speedrun community and thought it would be more active, so maybe I don’t fully understand how this community works.

Sometimes people post things on the forums, but it seems like others just skip over them or take days to respond. The forum itself doesn’t seem very crowded. Are people more focused on the runs themselves, so they don’t interact much on the forums? I’m not complaining, though.

I'm trying to speedrun the game Stuntman (PS2), and it's really difficult. Today I finally got a good run to submit, but when I went to check the video footage, there was no sound! I think it has something to do with my home theater and HDMI-ARC. The system was muted most of the time because I'm tired of listening the director calling "CUT! TOO SLOW!", it was driving me nuts!

I record my video using an USB HDMI capture card and I also film the screen of the TV with a webcam while I'm playing. And there is a timer on the screen aswell. Just the sound bugged.

Is my run valid to submit? It took me a LOT of patience and effort to get the run going. I don't want to lose it.

I don't remember much of Daytona USA 2 on the arcades as I only played a few times before it was retired. But the way the CPU cars behave in the supermodel emulator compared to the official ports inside the Yakuza games is very different. I noticed that the CPU in supermodel race almost on rails, but in the official port they try to block you, they change lines all the time, they ram the back of your car... I noticed that supermodel does not do any of that, and that only shows how some emulators are very inacurate. I was trying to do a run on supermodel and got very disapointed. I vaguely remember the real arcade being very much like the official port and much less like the supermodel emulator.

I even watched some of the runs here and they are very much not like the real hardware at all. I thought I was imagining things, but I saw a run on youtube with the real arcade, and that oppened my eyes to how inacurate supermodel is.

Well, at least supermodel suports wheels very well and has widescreen support.

I would like to know if running this game on a backwards-compatible PS3 is considered a legitimate run for this game. Is that OK? I have the NTSC version and would like to try the All Story Missions. I haven't seen anyone running it on a PS3 on the leaderboards. Can I stream it on youtube as proof?
