Recently, Keizaron reached out to the Japanese community about creating equal rulesets/categories for Red/Blue and Yellow, as seen here: https://pastebin.com/eqjSP3U3 . The TL;DR of the pastebin is we want to create a new category for the English leaderboards and a new category for the Japanese lead...

Gambatte-Speedrun, the community's official emulator for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, has received a major new update. The two main improvements are the addition of a reset fade to imitate Game Boy Player/Game Boy Interface fadeout, and some advancements in the quality of RNG emulation that sh...

First off, we can finally announce the finalized date for this year's PSR Marathon after polling for community feedback. The marathon will be held the weekend of August 4-6 . In the end it was a relatively tight decision, but there were a few small factors that made this weekend slightly more advant...

As with the last major upgrade, post any major issues here.

We are currently accepting applications to take part in the committee team. The idea is to have around 10 people who are heavily involved in this process. Your roles will be even more important given that the admins are going to be very busy in general over the months to come, so if you aren't up to...

Released speedchoice 3.3 to fix that bug and also randomizer compatibility.

After a brief discussion with leaderboard staff, the following rule is being added for this forum: Randomizer leaderboards are not allowed. The randomizer leaderboard that was posted earlier today has been removed. The reasoning behind this is that "optimizing" a randomizer category mostly comes dow...

The discussion in here has somewhat slowed, and most points about the RTA/IGT comparison have been made already. Between the community poll posted on Discord and the arguments made in this topic, it seems a fairly significant majority are in favor of an RTA switch for all generations (approximately ...

That was unrelated to Virtual Console, you used the wrong settings at the start of the game. The wiki route requires you to use Fast/Off/Shift settings, not Fast/Off/Set.

Races will be considered on a case by case basis once submissions are closed, but you will need to submit RBA yourself at the very least and indicate you would like to race.

Applications are now closed, thanks for your time. We will be contacting potential committee members shortly to confirm your participation and give you access to the committee chatroom.

Manipulation ( Red / Blue ) - RNG no longer depends on rDiv, it uses a lookup table instead - RNG is no longer called once per frame - In order to make manipulation actually viable, RNG is called once per text character displayed instead (including characters displayed instantly; different screens ...

Thanks for posting this. The possibility with xdseed and xdpokemon to *maybe* actually manipulate the stats is fun to think about, even if it's not practical for speedruns in the end. It was because of your tweet about being able to predict Croc's IVs that gifvex started investigating the Colo RNG, ...

Since the console/emulator leaderboard rule change, record times have also been required to be presented in a single video from start to finish. Today we are announcing a very small exception to this rule: There is one exception to the above: Any run video which is in exactly two parts due to Twitch...
