I have read the rules for Vanilla CTGP Settings as followed.
Custom Tracks: OFF Remove Game Music?: NO 'My Stuff' Folder: OFF Save game on SD card?: NO Special Fonts: OFF
While I usually do my runs on the original disk copy of the game, I know there are some different category's I want to try that I will have to use CTGP for (like 200cc and Item Rain for example). I understand why the settings for CTGP are they way they are, but the only issue I have for it is that if we are going by the 'My Stuff' Folder being turned off, that means you can't use a custom music pack during a run. I understand why track and character textures would not be allowed, but in my eyes, custom music doesn't really affect the gameplay at all. And this also unfortunate, because I wouldn't mind taking a break from using the regular music from the original game once in a while to put on a custom music pack.
So pretty much what I want to know why we can't use a custom music pack and if there could be any potential way to make an exception to only have custom music in the my stuff folder and nothing else for a run, because once again in my eyes, I don't really see adding a custom music pack and using it during a speedrun on CTGP taking advantage of the gameplay, unless something happened in a scenario that I don't know about.
I feel personally that the main leaderboard for 150cc should still be used in real time, since its running on console and emulators are banned, especially if it's a 16 or even 32 track run. IGT works on the 2d sonic games and Sonic Adventure 2 battle, due to some versions running on pc and potentially not being faster than console for the real timer. If both the main and category extensions leaderboard due switch to IGT, I do feel that there needs to be a limit on how long you can pause just like the 2d sonic and sab2 leaderboard. Once again, in my opinion, since all runs are pretty much done on either a Wii U or Wii console and not on an emulator, it doesn't make much sense in my eyes to switch the leaderboard to IGT.
