Hello!
Thanks for creating this track. I rediscovered this game recently & was playing for scores when I searched Speedrun out of curiosity.
I have a few questions regarding this track:
1 - Are any emulators allowed? I'm on a Mac using OpenEmu (which uses the Genesis Plus core).
2 - Are Everdrive carts allowed?
-
Not sure. I've done most of my Genesis speedrunning on hardware. I'd look to the more established Genesis game leaderboards for guidance on permissable emulators.
-
Yes! My leaderboard run of this game was done using an EverDrive (Mega EverDrive x5).
Re: permissible emulators, I believe it's at the moderator's / moderators' discretion.
I'll make my attempts via the EverDrive cart (I have the Mega x3). I cannot screen capture, unfortunately, so I'll have to record & let you be the judge. Thanks!
In that case, I'd say any of the Genesis Plus GX based emulators (the standalone version, BizHawk, or RetroArch). However, the guiding principle I go with is "the emulator should be accurate enough to convey no advantage over playing on an original console".
I'll update the rules. Thanks for the questions!
