Hey dudes and dudettes!
Im Justie from Ireland. Love watching speedruns on twitch, so caught the bug and decided in the new year to try my hand at speedrunning some games. Im totally new to this so please be kind to my stupid questions.
- I plan on speed running NES Emus, you recommend USB nes troller or original one?
- Would a laptop with 4gb of ram be ok to stream NES emus and twitch?
- Is Streamlabs recommended?
- Best split timer?
I hopefully dont annoy with with those stupid questions :(

Hi, for your controller question it depends on the game speerun rules(i think) second yes but sometimes you might suffer some fps problems but not that bad third, i use streamlabs too so i recommend fourth, live split ( if you have some problems with that splitter go watch this video: Hope i helped you and good luck with your runs!!! p.s if you have more questions feel free to ask
Thank you so much, golden info!
I only plan on running NES games, so thats why i asked about the laptop, no need splurging on a gaming pc haha
Do you use Obs? And is that neseccary if you are streaming on Twitch?
Controller choice is generally left to runner preference when it isn't mentioned in the rules, so go with whatever feels the most comfortable to you. 4GB isn't a lot nowadays but you can always adjust your streaming settings in your program of choice. OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS are both great streaming programs to use. There's alternatives so you don't need them to stream on Twitch, but other options are usually inferior in some way. LiveSplit is the ubiquitous timer if you're using Windows.
Probably a dumb question.. Why do you need OBS if streaming to twitch, as Twitch auto saves your streams..
OBS is the program that captures video from your computer and sends it to Twitch. Twitch lets other people watch your video stream. Twitch recordings also aren't always the best quality; recording natively with OBS is always better if it can be done. Also, Twitch default settings don't automatically preserve streams forever, that has to be set.
