CanadaSorry for the delayed reply, haven't been on the site for a while :x
The timing is: press and hold jump, and right after you press jump, also press and hold shift.
Mostly agreed, although I have no issue with Yukon being a moderator. Personally I find death warping a lot less interesting/fun than just save quitting; I could understand the argument more if death warps were also not allowed, but it's basically the exact same thing as S&Q but slower.
A Save & Quit category (or subcategory) would be sick.
I don't believe that the further separation between vanilla and modded speedruns of this game is at all relevant to which option we pick here. Regardless, loadless IGT is becoming the norm for the boards, which is unobtainable without modding your xbox (unless moderators allow for post-recording calculation of the loadless IGT, but they have shown hesitance to this before).
By the way, shouldn't there be a post to like for option C? There are only two at the moment from what I can see.
Well, it's been over a year, and there are still no 100% runs with the current definition. All I'm suggesting is for 100% to be All Diamonds + Beat normal mode. There could be another category for normal mode + EX mode, but it doesn't make sense to call that 100%. I'm fine with it existing.
I am all for wiping the emu runs with no proof of which emulator they're on. That being said I'm not everyone, so I agree with the community vote idea. Hopefully we can get a vote going relatively quickly.
As for the requirements for emulator runs, I think the proof method I used in my video is fine - the emulator looks like this: 
so there's nothing really to show apart from the name at the top (and doing so would hugely restrict possible overlays). Being able to move the window around seamlessly, along with the colour scheme not changing at the end of the run, is likely enough proof.
My AV capture card came in today so I was finally able to stream console runs. I am almost 100% confident that the Gambatte emulator is accurate, considering I was able to gold multiple splits on console despite having pretty good golds from emulator. For reference, since neither run has been verified yet and so they aren't on the leaderboards, here is my 44:53 run on the Gambatte Emulator: And here is my 45:15 run on the Gameboy Player using the Gameboy Interface as a replacement for the official disc (the disc/official software costs $$$$):
My conclusion: We should merge the emulator and console leaderboards, and only allow Gambatte/Bizhawk/BGB on there. This seems like the most fair thing to do, and will hopefully save future runners money (from having to order a gameboy player, old capture card, gamecube, etc). @Totalled , @ambaharmony , @Asre , @starbiits
It doesn't have to be Gambatte - it can be Bizhawk, or even BGB, going by the site linked earlier by josef. But if we leave a couple runs up that used VBA it would set a bad precedent.
A way around this could be like "Any time faster than X time cannot be submitted with VBA." This introduces something arbitrary so it's not great IMO but it could work.
I'm not sure I like where this discussion ended. So for people wanting to run on emulator now, should they purposely not use Gambatte since it's accurate and therefore slower than other emulators? Where would I put a run I did on the Gambatte emulator? If your answer is in the Emulators category, think about it a bit more. In the current state of that section, that would be much less fair than putting it with consoles.
EDIT: In my opinion, regardless of whether the community wants to merge emulator and console runs, all emulator runs should have to use the same emulator (or if not, then one of the emulators generally agreed-upon to be accurate). This would, of course, disqualify VBA (unless we agree to all use VBA for emulator runs, which would be ridiculous given its inaccuracy), but I'm sure the runners with VBA runs on the boards currently would be able to redo them on an accurate emulator, or maybe even improve them. This would certainly heighten the quality of the leaderboards.
I've searched multiple websites for the JP version of this game (both for the physical copy of it and and the rom), with no luck. Could only find the USA/EU versions. Any tips on where to get it?
So I'm not sure why this is the case, but the current 100% definition involves beating the game TWICE, once on normal and getting all diamonds, then again on EX. This seems ridiculous to me, and I think the lack of any runs on that category at all shows this.
I think that the 100% category should just be completing normal mode while collecting all diamonds.
Originally I was all for starting it at new game, but different people have different initial loads, so i think it should start the frame loading ends
