Hi,

The mod team has decided to ban the emulator Mesen because of a potential run ahead feature, listed here: https://www.mesen.ca/docs/configuration/emulation.html. "Run ahead allows the reduction of input lag by the number of frames specified. CPU requirements increase proportionally with the number of run ahead frames specified."

We've noticed other boards for speedgames ban it too and we'd like to implement a ban across all NES ninja gaidens as well.

All currently submitted runs done with Mesen will be approved, but future submissions will be rejected

Hi,

We're looking for a few more mods/verifiers to speed up the verficiation process. Please post in this thread if you are interested or have people you want to recommend.

So I've been going through the rules for all three NG NES games and both NG2 and 3 similar rules. What do you guys think about implementing the same ruleset for NG1 as well?

I was thinking of pretty much copy-pasting the rules from NG3 to the NG1 leaderboard with a few minor tweaks.

"- Emulators such as FCUEX 2.2.2 or newer are encouraged.

• Reset/power on from the previous run must be included in your run submission video.
• Specify the emulator used in the run and its version in the comments.
• If your run is faster than 13:30 you will be required to have a frame counter clearly showing "no movie" and a display of input.

Banned emulator(s):

• Gotvg"

The 13:30 time requirement could be changed to apply to sub 12 runs or whatever. Ideas/Suggestions/Thoughts?
