I appreciate you would vote yes, but ultimately, it seems like the submission would be denied.
Besides, of the 4 people who run this game here, only one of them is like, still around and is happy to talk about the nuances of playing Exotica (Desidious). On SRC, we have many more runners who play this game, and a discord for the entire series of Cruis'n games where we all hangout, talk, come up with strats, etc. I just don't see the need to submit to this board when there is a more populated and legitimate board on speedrun.com.
The only way it would be even remotely worth it to me to submit here is if I could submit my 12 Drag Race WR's video (all 12, only the races, back to back in one video), however just from gauging the opinions on this thread, that sort of video would be completely lacking in "proper proof" (which I personally disagree with, but site rules are site rules). There is a better chance of it raining cats and dogs than me going back, and putting tons and tons of hours into beating my own records with "proper proof", only to submit them to a lesser leaderboard. It's just an unfortunate reality that the runs I currently have will not pass verification on these boards, and I am personally not willing to go back and beat them for the sole purpose of uploading here, when a better alternative that will accept those videos already exists.
Also JJT, I would love to see you try haha. You say you don't have an N64 or the game itself, yet you think you can beat times on src such as my Exotica NG time? A time that easily took 50 hours total of grinding in a game I have studied for a very long time? Good luck with that.
For the record, I think my times *are* beatable, but probably not by someone who doesn't even own the game or the console it is for.
