It does depend on what CRT you use. Different crts can have more of a difference than others. I was just going off my (limited) experience lol. Good to know I guess

Although slick RGB capture looks great when you’re watching a run on YouTube or on Twitch, it doesn’t make that much of a difference when you’re playing on a crt. The built in composite on the NES looks fine when you’re playing on a crt, but it won’t look that great on most capture cards. You don’t need great quality to submit runs, anyway (just look at my runs lol).

I might have used the FCEU core when I was testing out OpenEmu. I'm not 100% sure.

Nestopia by far. OpenEmu has a lot of input delay. Note that both emulators run at 60 flat fps (slower than nes), so you will lose around half a second over a 5 minute run.

I used to play on Nestopia mac so take my word kosmicZ

That was D70 GG

Woah I never knew this. I'll keep this in mind when I use pellsson rom

@hitzcritz Taven does walljump room fast accel because he is better at it than one frame jump. How can you be more consistent at ~3 frame perfect inputs than just 1? I have no clue. I guess fast accel involves a more consistent rhythm for him or something. Plus, he gets good walljumps with most fast accels, so subpixels aren’t much of a problem for him.

@JeremyMKW I’m sory for botering u, no? @miniand3333 says tat this room hack is gud, but I am disagere! I tink this gema veru bad to pley! I honety didntt ask for this game tu exists, no? Basicaly , becaus of the room are using, as well as @LeonToast mentioned, as well as the nestopia mac emulator, bad game is yes,no? Plas giv opinon in form comments in the rom below!

Nerves suck

You don’t need much to submit a run. Taven’s former world record (4:55.746) was recorded by filming a crt with an iPhone SE without using splits. As long as you can see Mario jumping and basic stuff on the screen, you’ll be fine.

For a bit more context, when I first started playing, I was just messing around and got fpg on my third attempt at it (a complete fluke basically). I thought “hey this trick is free! Let’s do it in runs even though I have no pb because that’s obviously a smart idea.” I would get it every now and then, and my consistency was surprisingly good on some days, but I just couldn’t get a pb. I eventually stopped going for it, and I went from a 5:42 to a 5:10 in around 5 days. Don’t be like me please

I would fool around with the cool looking tricks once you have around a 5 flat tbh. It helps to understand more about the game at around that level, and trying to clip into random walls is really fun imo. I wouldn’t implement an fpg into runs until you’re going for 4:57, and I would just do it to save a 379 underground. Don’t be like me and have an obsession with getting fpg in your 5:42 runs.

no
