It's advertised as zero lag https://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=78 is the page for it. I of course would love to just run an nt mini but it seems they are out of production and used ones are running 1000$ plus. I do have a few original nes systems so I could mod one I suppose , but I really have zero experience with that so I'm a bit hesitant to try it. I am just trying to find a way to do runs on a flat screen monitor and use my capture equipment I already have without spending enough to buy a used car ya know, and I already have an avs on the way.

Are we able to submit runs using this system as it is a FPGA based system? And if so are submissions "nes" for og cart and "emu" for everdrive ?

I really don't want to drag my old CRT back in the house , also all my capture cards are for hdmi, are runs on the Retrousb avs fine for submission? and if so would you be submitting "nes" if playing og cart and "emu" for everdrive subs?

I am new to speedrunning and livesplit so this might be a noob question, but how are people switching the splits seemingly hands free? usb pedal? secondary person hitting the hot keys?
