So I own a SNES. But I live in Europe and this is a 50hz SNES. I really wanna speedrun this game I got. Its a Japanese game and it is only made in Japan. To play this game on my SNES I bought a Converter. A FIRE FX converter to be exact. I think the game now runs in 50hz. But on Speedrun.com you can only submit NTSC runs. which begs question: Am I allowed to submit my PAL 50hz runs to the leaderboard to be retimed? I really wanna speedrun on my lovely old SNES instead of buying a Super Famicon or a American SNES nor do I not wanna play on an emulator. I really love the vibe of the old SNES. So I am hoping someone could give me an explaination on how Speedrun.com tackles this issue. Since its Speedrun.COM not Speedrun.USA/JP. I already contacted the Moderator of the game I am running. Thanks!
This is something determined on a game-by-game basis, but since the way you're playing isn't "official", there's cases to be made for both retiming—countering platform differences—and not retiming—recognizing that the advantage of taking things slower should be countered. Keep in mind the first option is some additional work for the moderators.
@Hitoshi12 Recently the messaging system within this site hasn't been working properly, so if you used that the mod could easily have missed it. Did you try contacting him elsewhere?
It seems the moderator for that game is still active, so I'd recommend you try making a thread in the game's forum and see if you get a response there. It's generally good practice to discuss a leaderboard's rule changes publicly on this site anyway.
