I think the code to unlock Chick should be allowed for any%. Do you have to complete races in a certain time to unlock new ones? I forgot. If so then I would ban unlock all races from any%.

I think All Races% and 100% should be updated to include the secret cup, and then you could archive the existing runs on there or add a reasonable penalty onto them.

I'm using a Samsung S9 and it seems to work fine :)

Could someone update the rules for 100%? It needs to mention collecting all the user files. Thanks!

the glitch is the same, he just got it on the first (zeroth) lap, yeah you dont necessarily need a collision but its still the same thing

Nottinghamshire, Englandemrald6 years ago

can we merge this thread with this one? https://www.speedrun.com/Data_Wing/thread/hvxy9 dont need two on the same thing

Yeah it seems to happen when you collide with the wall at a certain point, there is a very small gap in the starting line. Happens on sea change and regulator too.

I realised that when I first got my 25min. There's no reasonable way to calculate it though since the game speed fluctuates and I can always get a better phone lol (which i hope to soon) and do ILs. We could try contacting the dev, see if he could maybe make some better optimisation settings for slow phones?

An IGT as well as real time would be useful but no point finding out the IGT since there's no timer on security neXus and the last three levels. Just have to leave it as it is unfortunately

Sadly I think it's dependent on your phone, I found that using the "optimise" button on the settings is slower than not using it but that might just be my phone which is 4 years old now lol. If you look at the Message IL record I lose out on 5+ seconds on a straight level :/ I've looked up the issue before but seems the only solution is to get a better phone. My game speed during recording is the same as without but sometimes ill get big lag spikes

For anyone else reading, tap "access denied" 5 times and it will turn to "engage"

Yep, it was introduced by people who didn't want to put in the effort to not die! ? Just tried a few no Brakes full runs and the biggest timesave comes from getting fast switches to the next track lol

^ reminds me of "glitches allowed" in Ballz. Just a normal time mode full game category would be good.

Yeah it doesnt have a PAL-60 option sadly. I did see some people hacked their Wiis and region changed it to the USA and it would output an actual NTSC signal but I don't want to risk bricking my wii. I'll return the one i have now and get an EZcap (It does say it supports PAL-60 how didnt i notice that before!) Thanks guys :)

Nottinghamshire, Englandemrald7 years ago

Hi I've been looking for a capture card that supports PAL60 and a lot of them online don't outright say that they do PAL60 just the general NTSC / PAL / SECAM etc. I'm trying to capture from my Wii by the composite cables and the capture card that i brought recently (August VGB100) works fine with PAL50 but when trying to play on 60Hz it's just in black and white, no colour :( And i've tried to get colour but not had any success.

Try the AZ screen recorder and optimise the settings: I have it on 480p with 24fps

Right, well I would say adding an in-game time along side the rta to the leaderboard.

We should have a standard emulator and add it to the rules since josef's run the in-game timer goes way too fast. BGB is probably the best choice of emulator here.

thread: Data Wing
Nottinghamshire, Englandemrald7 years ago

It is a reasonable rule as said because of possible glitches and how easy screenshots are easy to fake these days so I am in favour of it

The individual levels are short and if you are dedicated to try and get a good time on these levels I don't see why you can't head to the Apple/Play store and install a screen recorder which takes two minutes

Leaderboards for Regulator is just full of 0.000s so I imagine it's a similar trick on that level too
