When I click on the sand timer icon and then click on "Runs awaiting verification", it says "There are no runs." However, when I hit "View all", or go to my profile and hit "Pending actions," the proper runs are shown. This has been a bug for quite a while as far as I know and is a little annoying.

Awesome, looking forward to seeing them!

Alright, Campaign ILs are a thing now. I also added the Galactic Conquest mode category which I did a run for a while back but forgot to add the category.

Maryland, USAthegoodjakeward4 years ago

I can add ILs now that there's some interest. Give me a few minutes, and thanks for your interest in running the game!

So far I've been able to find 93% of the items in this game, but I am still missing 7% somewhere. I have a few ideas how to get these last items though.:

  • It might be that an item or items may be unlocked after beating every mission with an A rank. I've cleared just over a hundred or so of the 118 missions with an A rank, but I'm stuck on the last few as they are a little tricky to get A rank on.
  • Some items are hidden and you are supposed to use the 'Metal Detector' item to find them. The 'Metal Detector' is supposed to make your phone vibrate when you are near one of these hidden items. As I am playing on emulator, I can't use the vibration feature. I've already found 5 hidden items just by going around some missions and pressing select everywhere, but these 5 were easy because I knew which 5 missions to look in for these items. Perhaps there are other hidden items that are in other random missions. If anyone knows how to emulate vibration for J2ME games or has a J2ME phone that can play this game, we would be able to look for these items. Alternatively, we'd have to go through every mission and press select on everything to find them which would take a while.

Is there an example run that uses this route?

I found a big out of bounds skip for chapter 1. It's a little tricky, but could probably save 30 seconds if done quickly.

I have been waiting 3 weeks for my run of Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron to be verified. I have tried reaching out to the moderator but all his links are broken. I would love to moderate the game as I am the only other runner on the board and am a lot more active on src than the current moderator who hasn't been online basically since he got the game added. Here's the link to the game's page and I will provide the link to my two pending runs as well: https://www.speedrun.com/star_wars_battlefront_renegade_squadron https://www.speedrun.com/star_wars_battlefront_renegade_squadron/run/yo3reqdy https://www.speedrun.com/star_wars_battlefront_renegade_squadron/run/yj6x0vgz

Third, I would be happy to moderate the game with you if you are looking for another moderator.

Maryland, USAthegoodjakeward4 years ago

First off, thanks for getting a page for this game. I looked into running it earlier this year and theorized that an any% run could be close to an hour but you actually got a leaderboard made for the game! Second, I did a run for Galactic Conquest mode on this game a while back. Do you think you could add it as a category?

Nevermind, I figure it out. For future people who might be interested, basically right after you jump you hit the screenshot button (default was '=' for me but I changed it to 's'). The screen will then lag as the game takes a screenshot but your momentum will continue upward during the lag. Pressing it multiple times increases the amount of time the screen stays lagged for, and I think it also increases the momentum you gain.

How do you do the super jump glitch where the screen freezes for a sec and then you jump really high? I saw toastmanguy does it in track 1 of his any% run and TheEmeraldEgg does it on his IL run of track 1. I found this on the extreme tux racer page, but I can't seem to get it to work on the normal tux racer. https://www.speedrun.com/extreme_tux_racer/guide/kqpgu

Just wanted to let you guys know that I just got the Gameboy Color version of Montezuma's Return added to SRC. Here's the link to the page: https://www.speedrun.com/montezumas_return_gbc

I would like to request to be a moderator of https://www.speedrun.com/open_season_psp I am the only other runner with a run on the board for this game, and I have a world record run that has been waiting to be verified for over 4 weeks now. I have tried contacting the current moderator via all his social media links but have been unsuccessful. I am really active with the game and am extremely active on the game's discord server as well. The current moderator hasn't posted in the game's discord in over a year (around the same time he posted his last run for the game). Thanks for your consideration.

Dang, sorry. I'm on mobile so I'm not sure if this is right but here's what I got from the corrupted file. Let me know if these work. I'll fix the file on the resources tab later.

  • 030077E4:FF Unlimited Health
  • 030077E5:FF Unlimited Lives
  • 030077E6:FF Unlimited Roar

It looks like the files I uploaded were corrupted because I couldn't extract them either. I just uploaded new ones that should be working now. Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know!

So we've decided to allow all cheats, including gameshark codes and any other 3rd party ones you can find. I'll update the rules accordingly.

Also if you check out the resources tab, I have a bunch of cheat codes that I have made for the game.

That's a good question. I don't think we've given much thought to the cheat% category as a community. I will ask on the discord what everyone thinks. Personally I think it would be cool to allow gameshark/other codes, because only allowing the cheat mode cheats would just make it the same as any% except with 3 less levels, which seems lame to me. You should join the discord here: https://discord.com/invite/Xf6a6UK

Why are there currently no Any% or Any% co-op runs right now? Is it just because it's a lot longer of a run? or is there some other reason?
