Is it possible to implement this function?

It is possible to play this game with Mouse Injector. Cool! There are some rules to follow to, to configure your emulator (the only possible emulator now is Duckstation):

Rules: You must be using the NoGUI version, that means a keybind for Quick Menu is required. These settings can be set in the Qt version of DuckStation. You must show settings of the core settings before/after the run. Your settings must match this:

• Interface Menu (NoGUI Setting)
• Pause On Menu: Disabled BIOS Settings
• Fast Boot: Disabled Console Settings
• 8MB RAM: Disabled
• CPU Emulation - Execution Mode: Interpreter (Slowest)
• No change in Clock Speed
• CD-ROM Emulation to remain on defaults
• Async Readahead: Disabled (Synchronous)
• Read/Seek speedump set to None (Normal Speed)
• Preload Image to RAM: Disabled
• Apply Image Patches: Disabled Emulation Settings
• Emulation Speed set to 100%
• Runahead: Disabled Display Settings
• Auto (Game Native) or 4:3
• Cropping overscan is allowed Enhancement Settings
• Widescreen Hack: Disabled
• Force NTSC Timings: Disabled
• Recommended: Keep PGXP Disabled Custom settings are allowed for anything that isn't mentioned such as internal resolution scale. We would allow enabling "Show Enhancement Settings" to simplify the end user side, however some of the settings do not appear if they're enabled.

I don't think everyone wants to push the game at 48 level with or without the filter anyways. The use of filter is to compare runs, and it will be hidden by default. We do have engine filters and I think they are useful since you can compare those runs.

I'm trying to answer Kieron with the points:

1). You can do speedrun without TA skip, true, but if you wan't to do both you can not submit both runs in the same category. Chasing for a TAless WR would be like chasing for Accel WR, really isn't worth of notice;

2). Again, you can push for a TAless WR, but it does not mean anything in the leaderboard whatsoever, the real WR will always be the one with the skip, having the TAless WR it's like having WR in your own house;

3). For this point, I think the issue with TA is the insane amount of time you gain with a really small effort to learn the shortcut. That is not 100% consistent anyways. Tiziano wins only 10 seconds per lap;

4). For this point I agree with you, I see nothing wrong;

5). Yes it's true, it needs to be a variable for every category. I don't know if it will be a issue honestly;

6). Regarding this point, I think the decision to implement the filter will be more beneficial to top runners, because those use the skip. New runners will just see it as a filter and probably not care about that;

7). For this point it will be weird that a filter pushes people away from the game. A filter just add another parameter to evaluate and compare your time, it does not change runs for people who uses TA skip because they will compete for the real WR;

In general, your opinion is pretty good overall. But I think there is too many thought that can be confirmed or can be denied. Example: having a TA filter will push people out from the game? Possible. But also not having a TA filter could push people out from the game. There is no 100% confirmation that things will happen.

If we wanna focus about 100% things:

• Real WR does not change
• Just like I can compare my accel run with another run, I can compare my TAless run to another TAless run, and at the same time also compare TA skip runs with another TA skip run, I would finally be able to sumbit both.

On the downside of adding the filter tho:

• too many filters
• too many confusion on the leaderboard probably? (Needs to thing about 100% downside)

Thanks all for reading!

It seems that overall this filter change may be appreciated by the community and the runners in general. Do you know if it will be possible to implement it soon?

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to add a new filter to the runs, right now we can compare our runs with different engine (Speed, Accel, etc) but would be nice if we could compare also with how many Tiny Arena shortcut we performed, due to the RNG nature of the skip itself.

Is it possible to bring RTA timing back? Since there is no automatic load remover, we need to calculate IGT for every run, and this is boring as hell and can cause mistakes too, also, if you calculate only the IGT, all the time passed in the menu will be lost.
