So, as you may have noticed, I have elected to close the Emerald Challenges forums down and wipe them clean. Why would I do such a radical thing?
As you might notice in
this poll, there is a distinct distaste for Co-Op gameplay, while others rally to support it. To bridge the gap, I am going to put my most famous icon, the Emerald Challenges, to work as a tool to convey the idea of just how competitive and challenging Co-Op play can be.
That said, every single one of the Emerald Challenges in the upcoming season will be much like the "gold emerald challenges" of the past, in the sense that every color challenge will be constructed in a manner such that
only two people working together can complete it.
For those who can't find someone to help them at home using Gens+, there are two additional options. (Quoted from "One Final Challenge")
The first is called OpenKaillera, a mod of the well-known Kaillera software built-in with Gens. It comes with an input recording feature much like the .giz format, that begins recording when you start the game. Furthermore, it also has a P2P option that allows players to connect without needing the middleman of a server, significantly reducing the delay often seen through normal Kaillera play.
The other option is using normal Kaillera and playing with a judge, but
only upon the judge's invitation. I won't have anyone asking a judge to play with them, because that would be far too taxing.

I'll be providing packages of Gens 2.14 patched with the OpenKaillera hack.
I'll also be providing spoiler images soon :O
