thoughts on banning PJ64 entirely from zsr leaderboards?

[Jbop]

In addition to everything else said, I would like to point out that on an emulator the haunted wasteland is nearly impossible to fail due to the brightness compared to console. You dont even need to learn the desert on emulator, you just go through it. For n64 I actually have to count the flags, know where they are, and know the second part. Its much harder on console.

If the brightness is the problem, you can turn up brightness on your TV or capture card. On the other hand, if you mean the draw distance is different, then yes it means its harder on N64 and easier on VC/GC/Emu; every platform has advantages and disadvantages.

Edit: Oh and also I like your idea Quo. Kappa b

Look what you guys made me do! DO YOU THINK I'M MADE OF MONEY?!

[Jbop]

This discussion made you buy the worst N64 version?

[Njordr]

Actually, kinda, yeah. It's literally the only one I could find locally, without paying for shipping and such.

[Jbop]

Haha fair enough

Did anything ever get done about this?  I'm starting to play OOT semi-seriously again.  My goals are always stuff like "Top 100," "Top 50," "Top 25," as opposed to specific times, so I'd like to compare my times on the leaderboards to everything EXCEPT emulators.  ie: see where I rank on a leaderboard of just iQue, N64 and VC. 

It seems fairly simple to just add an "All minus emulator" tab to sort by.  Is this anything that'll ever get done or has this discussion been put out by now?

[Jbop]

Yeah, regardless of where you stand on the issue of banning emulator, it would be cool if the filter toggles were changed slightly so that you could have more than one active/inactive at once.

I'm pretty sure this topic isn't relevant anymore, but in case anyone who is in RWhiteGoose's situation reads this...

On speedrun.com there's an Ocarina of Time leaderboard. The runs there are just synced from the ZSR leaderboards, but only the verified runs make it on there. Since emulator runs never get verified, they won't make it to speedrun.com. So if you only want to compare yourself to runs done on official hardware, speedrun.com's leaderboards are the place to go.

That's actually pretty cool, to bad it doesn't show ganonless.

It does show Ganonless. Just hit "Show misc categories" at the top right.

Emu runs do get verified on speedrun.com, but they are hidden by default. There is an option to show runs on emu.

Ah, thank you.
