Rayman 3, poll :boost_ok:​ 

I'm getting back into playing Rayman 3, and I'm torn...

On the one hand, I'd love to play with the Better Rayman 3 mod, which allows widescreen resolutions and playing in a window!

On the other hand, it's not allowed in speedruns, and I love doing speedruns of Rayman 3!

Maybe I could take the opportunity to try out playing in a gamecube emulator? The Gamecube speedruns allow for the most glitches...
What do you all think?

re: Rayman 3, poll :boost_ok:​ 

I guess I should note for this: the glitches on PC are the ones I'm used to, so if I go for the GCN emulator route, I would have to re-learn the speedrun...

@lizardsquid Dolphin runs really well even on potato hardware, so i'd say give that a try!

Well, maybe not potato hardware. Like one step up though, like onion hardware

re: Rayman 3, poll :boost_ok:​ 

@lizardsquid now i'm thinking what is one step up from potato, because onion feels like more than one step up

yam? cassava?

@Felthry I think I have garlic hardware, so it should be ok!

I'm more worried about making sure I do it right, and not getting caught (b/c Australia has stronger anti-piracy laws than a lot of other places)

re: Rayman 3, poll :boost_ok:​ 

@lizardsquid an actual copy of rayman 3 for the gamecube appears to be between $30 and $40 USD on ebay which isn't too bad

at least in the US having a legitimate copy of the game and ripping the iso yourself is a pretty strong defense against any sort of criminal charge. dunno about australia though

over here having isos and roms isn't ever going to land you in any trouble really, it's distributing them that can get you in trouble

@lizardsquid Why not speedrun with the mod and just not submit them

re: Rayman 3, poll :boost_ok:​ 

@BatElite One of the other aspects of the mod fixes a bug that caused parts of the game to run 1.2× faster than usual - the problem is that (even though I probably wouldn't submit the runs anyway), there would be no way for me to compare my time to others.

@lizardsquid To clarify, do the Gamecube leaderboards allow emulators? I've seen Gamecube games where the moderators were just "no, no emulators at all, not even as a separate category, everyone is required to buy the game if they want to run this" -_-;
