QuébecNever realised sorry anyway i tested it using smb+duck hunt USA (same as nifski i believe) and it seems that both version indeed run on 60 flat. and delta appear to match most legal emulators :) https://jmp.sh/s/yApk7DMPwv9nIrpfMScZ
Im trash compared to nifski (shoutout to nifski) but here is a comparison of 1-1! Of course i messed up and dont got the perfect routing so its slower in term of speedrun time however i think the game run exactly the same on both versions! :)
All of this is doable on all legal emulators and on console, this is the 4-2 wrong warp on mobile :3
Im testing on it and coming back later with more informations ^3^
To answer your question: the rom is provided by the user, Framerate Is consistent and neither the framerate nor the roms are altered, the inputs you can do are the same on console delta allow you to connect a controler by bluetooth but most importantly the emulator own virtual controler adapt to match the console therefore preventing any turbo inputs, i’ve been testing delta for a long time and it appears that delta does what most allowed emulators would do but on a mobile device. The framerate of all of the roms i have tested so far appears to match frame rates with the allowed emulators and/or consoles :P so if we get delta for this game then we could eventually get delta to be added as a legal emulators for other games granting mobile users without a pc or ways to setup properly on a pc a way to speedrun legally without any advantages. Unless you call being able to speedrun anywhere on the go an advantage i guess lol.
okay so emulators are now very accessible for mobile users and can be obtained directly from the play/app store we had a talk before about how mobile emulators can be inconsistent, well delta doesn’t have that issue it appears. I have tested with bad and good wifi vpn no vpn etc etc everything is always the same it runs perfectly everytime no graphic issues no sound issues the emulator respond VERY well, here i present you a semi-casual test run on delta feel free to laugh at my terrible skills since i havent ran this game in forever :) anyway all of this to say i think we should accept mobile runs :P
Could have been the rom freaking out at that exact moment, if its an actual glitch and its replicable on hardware and emulators thought that could be awesome for speedrunning 🤔
Its very old 3d but yes it is 3d. They are technically pixelated 2 dimensional sprites rendered into 3rd thanks to the n64 engine, similar to doom (but done way better)
I will eventually attempt pushing this time lower since im pretty sure its possible. It look doable.
With the decent amount of strats and optimizations we currently have, what do you think, is the lowest time possible for a cavern% run? I did a 4:46 recently and trust me there is definitely some room for Improvement. I think personally we may be able to go down all the way to 4:30 (since console is slightly differemt) but maybe even 4:25. What do you guys think?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGNKLvJzrU Level 16 17 18 and 19 of caverns (world 1) are some of the hardest level to do at a fast pace in caverns and it’s honestly annoying because im pretty sure there no strats to make it any better, nothing consistent atleast as explainned in the video. If you find any strats, tell me.
Short answer: mobile emu=banned, I remember asking if an emulator was allowed since it was the vanilla experience but on mobile and the answer was "its a mobile emulator so no" even if it was literally a official nintendo emulator ported on mobile (which we all know wouldn’t happen) they’d still ban it. I guess they’re scared of getting their wr stolen by a dude on his iphone.
I mean he made a test route and you’re free to do your own path and see what is faster. Just like any categories. If i could speedrun sm64 on mobile i’d have attempted it by now
If there is truly some unique strats then it may be pretty nice to watch. We’il let time tell us.
Actually optimal pathing make the clip faster because you dont have to teleport back and forth to get the powerup. No?
Holy crap corkstir- i never thought i’d see a sub 5:20 so soon. Congratulation man. You’d probably have gotten sub 5 if you didnt mess up the optimized 1-7 strat too. I guess 1-13 was also unfortunate. But Wow that wall clip at 1-20?! That something i didnt even know what possible!
otherwise you could also try downloading a different rom and see if you get similar problems. if not then you know your rom is erroned and thus need changing. happen rarely but its entierely plausible
