I highly recommend the el cheapo. This is a lenghty read but a good one and one of the cheapest capturing devices you will find. It is also very good. https://twitter.com/linkboss/status/1376973863549014016

Hi welcome, speedrun is one word.

@DJSpeed why tho

f in the chat for our fallen comrade

A certain someone has a really well made concept for an open source src alternative as well. It has not been talked on here but on the src discord it has been discussed a few times.

I hope it succeeds

Submit it over here: https://www.megamanleaderboards.net/ as stated in https://www.speedrun.com/mmx4/thread/apovd Mega Man does have their own leaderboard website.

Exactly @Liv And currently, ELO is on their way to drive even more communities away.

Yep exactly. And I am very welcome to this. A lot of other communities are also welcoming the idea and even considered creating leaderboards on their own websites or even going back to google spreadsheets. What bothers me tho, is that elo does not respect communities anymore that have boards on seperate websites. Which is a big red flag in my eyes

The irony or well problem is the following: This is a community run website basically. The content is delivered by the userbase. So it is replacable. Elo however seem to not recorgnize or does not care about it. Which is why I hope that it will be getting a competitor soon.

Okay, you really need to learn on how to distance yourself from such statements and harassment. I know it is not easy and not everyone can do it, but you will always face jerks in your life. You can't let them ruin your life. Please, maybe consider consulting a professional. And close your DM's on discord to only friends. Might be the best for now.

Yeah, you are right with that. Still, I am curious what OP wants to run or if there is already an avenue of games he is planning to pursue.

Welcome to the elitist circlejerk that is speedrunning on the platform speedrun.com that is controlled by our cooperate overlords elo. What do you plan to speedrun? : D

But they care about us :( They have legitimate interest in us (or atleast in our data)

I know what a shader is but what is Minecraft? Never heard of that.

Technically there was only one person necroing the thread. And I wish we would get forum moderators. And search functions. And generally an overhaul to the forums.

I would not suggest ROBLOX but Karlson if you are looking for a free, fast speedgame. Actually very interesting movemvent. As previous people posted, there are many cool free games out there as well. Cave Story is another good example of it.

While not free in theory, there are plenty of emulators that are free and that allow you to play copies of games that you obviously own yourself and backed up yourself on your PC. See the acceptance for those on the respective leaderboards and check with the game rules/moderators/discord.

A Link to the Past and Super Metroid are also very big communities and do have randomizers. Those are not everyones cup of tea, but some really do find those enjoyable.

It is already in the process of being added. There is also a discord community already for the game: https://discord.gg/xdgHNKGP3J

People not reading the original post date

Or we just derail it into hell

Shadowplay and OBS pretty much. IMO SLOBS is a terrible piece of software and I wish people would stop using it, same with windows gamebar. But I guess for a fast lower quality recording, it gets the job done.
