This topic is for the purpose of discussing #9330: myherosecond's SGB Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Speed Version in 49:42.42

Could not verify sync. I'm not sure if it's consistently desyncing for me or it doesn't complete the game. The end of input in my BizHawk 2.9.1 enters a cave, loses a battle, gets a game over and ends back in the main menu. EDIT: Submission text says this needs the libretro Gambatte core, but when I try to load the input file, it says "Movie system Id (SGB) does not match the currently loaded platform (Libretro), unable to load". It's a GB-compatible .gbc ROM run in SGB mode, and BizHawk indicates that the BIOS was disabled. A fan translation patch is applied, which I'm not sure if I can link to as it's part of a (partial) disassembly of a commercial game, but these are the hashes of the resulting ROM when it's applied. myherosecond, please see DrD2k9's judgment notes on a previous submission you made. We don't accept unassisted runs as submissions. You can post them to Userfiles, or use the tools BizHawk provides, like savestates and frame advance, to polish your run and make it into art.

Fan translations are not allowed at all, even on top of other hacks.

This patch also cannot be accepted under the current rules. No reason is given, so I'll have to try and remember the reason why. Wasn't it that fan translations modify the game in subtle ways that can throw off RNG, among other things, and could lead to unfair advantages? Anyway this sounds perfect for Userfiles if you want to upload it there for people to find a playthrough with English text.

I thought Telefang 2 was a gameboy advance game? Clicking on the game however gave the original telefang. What? Also I'm really curious of an encode if anyone syncs it, given the current unglitched run is almost 2 hours long, while the ACE version is 5 minutes. The original submission of telefang was a glitched, non-ACE run that took 15 minutes. I don't see how there's a category that gives a 49 minute run.

om, nom, nom... want more!
