Why are we necroing a 4-year old thread? 💀

It'd be under NTSC/USA

-7.12

It's considered NTSC

@Creepr101 huh?

I think the input handling concern is a valid one to bring up and discuss, however I don't think it's one the SMB1 mod team will lose sleep over though as the highest level time performed on switch currently is a 4:56 (4:55.9 console time) by Cyanogen. Doesn't mean someone won't try and use Switch input handling to their advantage but I would also guess most submissions which are not either console or emu, are on Switch, so it would be majorly unfair to ban people to the most accessible means to play SMB1 on a modern Nintendo platform.

output mods such as composite video mods and rgb mods have always been approved for submissions, look at runs by Kosmic, iBall, GTAce, DJ__AJ, etc. as it only affects the video output of the console, not the game.

You can get clones of the RetroTink such as the RetroScaler 2X for about $50, but I cannot comment on their quality due to not testing them and would not advise supporting those clone manufacturers if you can afford the higher quality alternatives.

You submitted your run 1 hour before making this forum post, have some patience and respect for the people who take time out of their day to verify submissions.

This is not to be patched onto a standard SMB ROM, rather a VS SMB ROM in the ".nes" file format.

Looking at the hardware present on the FDS2NES it has the same hardware as the regular FDS RAM adapter, I would not have any objections to approving this however this will require discussion with other moderators.

That can work, if you have an actual NES, however 1008 was referring to the actual FDS RAM adapter which looks like this

There is a new alternative to the FDSStick which is being mass produced by various companies called the FDSKey, uses a MicroSD card to read FDS images to the RAM adapter.

As Wolf said, no we do not allow reproduction cartridges. Our testing shows that most sold by individuals are inaccurate compared to the disk version, even with simple gameplay elements such as the red piranha plants and springs. If you wish to play Lost Levels on NES then you either purchase a Everdrive N8 (or clone).

This just sounds like a more complicated version of both quests.

Can confirm, I used to use a KrzysioCart until I purchased an EverDrive, Pellsson 5.6 works as expected on it.

Hey!

Unfortunately I don't know of a place for high quality controllers however if you are a DIY sort, you can buy replacement rubber membranes and that may assist with your dropped A presses. Websites such as ZedLabz, Console5 and AliExpress will all have these parts readily available, though do note you will need a PH1 screwdriver, and be careful not to strip the screws.

If you have any other questions please let me know!

No. The emulator inside of Animal Crossing has no left+right handling, and with the GameCube controller you are able to input left+right at the same time, which is not possible on an unmodified OEM NES controller.
