| + | == Time Not Saved == |
| + | |
| + | This section details the "[[time not saved]]" glitch as found in [[GoldenEye 007]]. |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection i) Legitimacy === |
| + | |
| + | The time not saved glitch occurs when an objective completes in the last frame of the fadeout of a run. This has been seen on, but not limited to: Facility, Runway, Frigate, Depot, Jungle, Control. The mission status will read “Completed,” the time will not save as best time, no cheat will be unlocked if applicable, but the level will advance to the next level. These times count as complete and legitimate, and are ranked as personal or world records accordingly. |
| + | |
| + | == 2.X Control Styles == |
| + | |
| + | This section details rules surrounding use of 2.X Control Styles in [[GoldenEye 007]]. |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection i) Legitimacy === |
| + | |
| + | As 2.X control styles were programmed intentionally into the game, you are allowed to use them freely to obtain personal and world records, so long as it is one person controlling both controllers. |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection ii) Multiple Players === |
| + | |
| + | Anyone found or confessed to be claiming times achieved with 2.X control styles, having used a second person on a controller, will, at minimum, have all according times backrolled to their next best proven record achieved with only themselves on the controls. This is cheating and an appropriate decision will be deliberated and carried out by the [[Elite Council]]. |
| + | |
| + | == Third Party Controllers == |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection i) Legitimacy === |
| + | |
| + | While ideally all competitors on the-elite.net are to use original Nintendo 64 controllers, third party controllers which offer no inhuman advantage are allowed for use on The-Elite World Rankings. |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection ii) Acceptable Controllers === |
| + | |
| + | Acceptable controllers which offer no inhuman advantage include, but are not limited to: Hori Controllers, Superpad Controllers, original Nintendo 64 controllers with replacement "Gamecube Style" control sticks, original Nintendo 64 specialty use controllers (Fishing Rod, Steering Wheel, etc.) |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection iii) Unacceptable Controllers === |
| + | |
| + | Unacceptable controllers, due to offering inhuman advantages include, but are not limited to: controllers with a "rapid fire" function (presses a button the maximum 60 inputs per second,) [http://i.imgur.com/m9bsJ.jpg|computer mouse style controllers] (produces control stick inputs beyond that of which an original Nintendo 64 controller can produce.) |
| + | |
| + | === Subsection iv) Unknown Controllers === |
| + | |
| + | If the status of a controller's advantage is unknown, it will be at the discretion of the [[Elite Council]] and the community to decide whether or not the controller is acceptable. |
