Hi JJT - I know your questions are directed toward Dave but since your using my submission as a test case, I can answer some of your specific questions and clarify some misconceptions.

=JJT_Defender;bt21433]This Really Important Question for you
Twin Galaxy Chief Custodian Dave Hawksett When you Get the Chance ASAP

PlayStation 3 - Gran Turismo 5 - License Tests - A-1 - Fastest Time - 15.959 - Shaun Michaud

1. Does the Playing PlayStation 3 Video Games on PlayStation Store Online Count as Being Played on Counsel PS3 Video Game System Platform?

With the modern systems that are connected to the network, there really isn't any difference from a game purchased through a digital download channel or form a disc. Most games have periodic patches distributed from the network to fix glitches, bugs, and in some case game design / restrictions. A disc, once inserted into a modern system will search the network for any new releases and if any are found, will prompt you to update the software. This makes the delivery channel of the original game moot as both will run the most up-to-date version of the game, on a network connected console.

2.Is This Reliable if Allowed without Showing the PS3 Console System and Game Discs or Any Other Video Game Systems Like Xbox Live?

See response above.. Also I typically use direct capture to record my video game performance. I prefer this method as I produces better video quality and I don't have to go through the tedious process of converting video formats to different MPEG Codec for video player compatibility.

3.Or Should They Be Separate Twin Galaxy RECORD Keeping on Different Formats Please Clarify?

Note They Never Show the Console System it May Be Possible that a Player May Be Using a Enhance Device Like Pro Action, Game Genie or a Program or Programmable Controller, Turbo Ext.? Just My Opinion

I'm not aware if any of these things exist for a PlayStation 3 or 4. Many direct video capture videos were submitted to TG before and after TGSAP. Further splitting tracks simple because of being overly skeptical toward of a handful of immaterial and highly unlikely circumstances isn't a good reason to further dilute the leaderboard. If you have any specific questions regarding the gameplay, settings, etc... it's best to bring those up in the submission thread while its going through adjudication.

To add up a lttle bit to what Shaun said.

The games wether on disc or PSn run absolutely the same. Also, in the main menu or interface of the PS3, on the upper right corner it shows the date, time and when you are connected to the PNS it shows the number of friends connected at the moment. That alone, the fact that you can log in to the PSN means that your console is updated and most importantly, it means that you are not using any kind of cheats, otherwise the system would have detected it and prevent you from loging in and even block your console.

No console that has been modified, in any kind, is able to connect to the PSN.

I leave this video for my submisison for the same game Shaun submitted and at second 0:42 of the webcam video you can see the message "Sesion Iniciada" which means "session iniciated" in spanish, from then on, in the corner appears the number of my friends connected, that means I logged in succesfully and my system is not modified in any kind.

We should condense PS4 and PS4 PSN playable games as one console.

We should condense PS3 and PS3 PSN playable games as one console.

Currently, it's unnecessarily diluted as is.

1. The Issue is Whether Derek Final Time should Be Rounded Off or to Include Milliseconds.

2. Can You Please Decide on the Matter?

Because their is Nothing in the Rules that says that the Final Time has to Be Rounded Off or Not?
If it Can Be Added to the Existing Rules then Their Be No More Confusion it in the Future.

Thank You

NES / FAMICOM / DISK - Super C - NTSC - Fastest Completion - 14:57.5 - Derek Ruble

TRACK RULES
Factory Default [No Codes Allowed! No Continues!]
Special Rules: Limited leeching is permitted at the referee's discretion. Please note that when you beat the game, it starts over from the begining with your score intact, so if you're going for a scoring run in addition to a Fastest Completion, you may continue on until you either lose all your lives and reach the Game Over Screen or the Score maxes out. The Timer begins when you hit Start on the Title Screen and ends when you lay the final blow on the Alien Boss at the end of Stage 8. You MUST complete the game or your Fastest Completion attempt WILL be disqualified.

Not directly a scoreboard error, but not sure where else to report:

There's currently some sort of recurring bug around the submissions forum and the console filtering. This is now the third time I'm having to go in and delete my site cookies because I can't get the submissions forum to show all submissions - it's stuck showing just one console, I believe the one I was viewing when I last closed my browser.

EDIT: Ah, I found the specific cookie that's doing it. I saw there was one from yesterday, and one from today - looks like there's some bug in how it's handling older cookies, not properly deleting/replacing them with a new one, but creating a new one but still using the old one.

There's a problem with the top score on Gradius for NES/Famicom - NTSC - POINTS
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/gr...ainment-system

top score is by Tom Votava which is 10+ million but the rules state:
Factory Default [No Codes Allowed]
Special Rules: Level skipping via destroying a boss fast enough, IS permitted! You're only permitted to obtain the secret 1-Up on Level 4 ONCE per loop or your scoring attempt will be disqualified! Please note that when you beat the game, it starts over from the begining with your score intact, so you may continue on until you either lose all your lives and reach the Game Over Screen or the Score maxes out.


The score rolls over at 10 million, so the max out score would be 9,999,990pts

The score does not max out if it rolls over. Therefore the score is correct

The rules could be amended to say "you may continue on until you lose all your lives or reach the game over screen." This would make the rules more clear since obviously it is now known the score does not max out. Also beginning is spelt incorrectly.

hi @admin staff

How long does it take for a "cancelled" submission to be removed off the database?

One would think it would be removed immediately, automatically..... but they still linger on the leader-boards.

Thanks.

I accidentally started a submission with a video greater than 5GB. The upload got to 3% or so before I realized this so I just closed the tab. If the upload limit is 5GB, then it needs to stop me with a pop up warning before the upload commences.

It should be able to take 10GB.

CWK thanked this post

It says 5GB limit on the submission form?

I knew Jace said it was 10gb. Dave Hawksett just said the other day it was only 5. I commented but only to receive no answer =(
