| Forum Post | Submission(s) | Date Re-evaluation Requested | Reviewed Yet? | Rejection Changed? | Reason/Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forum/Posts/508465 | #5799: Flip & ajfirecracker's Genesis Disney's Aladdin "demo glitch" in 00:02.64 | 9/9/21 | Y | Moved to Playground on 6/24/24 | Might be interesting to some; also may be considered acceptable as a branch at some point, but I'm not currently going to make that call. feos changed branch name to "demo glitch" instead of "game end glitch". |
| Forum/Posts/508465 | #2614: FatRatKnight's NES The Guardian Legend "Password" in 00:03.31 | 9/9/21 | Y | N | Uses an auto-hold feature of the emulator which effectively inputs that button press on every frame. In my opinion, that makes the actual input longer than what is reported in the submission itself. It also uses an in-game code to create a special setup; not sure if this would be acceptable with a proper input file anyway. Even if it were, I personally think the primary issue with this run lies in the auto-hold not being counted as input; and I suspect that if the entire time that the A button is pressed was counted toward the time, doing other actions besides holding A may yield a faster run. |
| Forum/Posts/508465 | #5218: FatRatKnight's NES Overlord in 03:57.34 | 9/9/21 | Y | N | As mentioned here, a run has since been accepted. |

| Forum/Posts/513846 | #5997: EZGames69's Uzebox Melli's Retro Land in 04:38.92 | 4/24/22 | Y | Changed to Accepted by DarkMan425 on 4/30/24 | Rule changes allow for homebrews to no-longer require be a "high quality and notable game with a strong following" |

| Forum/Posts/519024 | #6684: dekutony's GBC Uno "Fastest Uno" in 01:01.01 | 1/8/23 | Y | N | Incomplete submission so not acceptable. |
| Forum/Posts/519024 | #5890: dekutony's GBC Blue's Clues: Blue's Alphabet Book in 02:33.58 | 1/8/23 | Y | N | originally rejected for being edutainment/joke. CoolHandMike note: This is actually Incomplete, but the rejection reason is Joke. |
| Forum/Posts/524429 | #3811: jlun2's GBA My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow in 24:04.59 | 8/6/23 | Y | N | originally rejected for not standing out from un-assisted play. CoolHandMike note: Already have a faster publication [6207] GBA My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow by CasualPokePlayer in 24:06.34 due to emulation differences |
| Forum/Posts/530498 | #4779: xy2_'s DS New Zelda in 02:41.05 | 7/15/24 | Y | N | originally rejected for Game Choice (homebrew), but there were also questions about optimization. CoolHandMike note: This submission no go on optimization. Author did not check the damage on the boss. Instead of using the spin attack which does 2 damage he used the normal slash that does 1 damage. So lost around 3-4 seconds per extra hit and he needed 7 extra hits so lost about 21-28 seconds. Stays rejected. |
