Sorry if I'm getting annoying. I know that I posted last night. Now, I'm looking for different Genesis controllers that would be both legal and in high regards for its quality.
I'm currently using: https://imgur.com/a/kd3aSxW The D-pad sucks and the buttons are sticky. I need something else.
I've been doing some research on good genesis controllers (ones that I may even be able to use for casual fighting games).
This is what I've had my eyes on: https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Bit-Official-Genesis-6-Button-Controller-Original/dp/B07P255V8J
What are your thoughts? What controller do you use?
Thanks in advance, Techpalms

I am starting to train speedrunning and am starting with one of my favorite games - Sonic 2.
Can anyone push me in the right direction as to a rules list of what is/isn't allowed?
I currently use a Sega Genesis 1 (non-HD Gfx model), plugged into a CRT TV, using original game cart.
I guess the only 2 questions I have are, will this be a legal way to run and post scores?
Secondly, am I allowed to use a 3rd party genesis controller? I am not looking to get a modded one or anything, just something that feels better on the hands.
Thanks in advance, Techpalms

I recently bought a Sega Genesis 1 (non-HD Graphics model). I have been playing these games via AV-C on a flat screen television. As many of you know, this causes the game to look like poo.
So, I looked on Facebook marketplace and finally found a CRT TV for free. Picked it up, plugged it in, and sure as God's got sandals, the graphics look amazing.
My main question comes here: Is this a legal hook-up for competitive speedrunning? Furthermore, what would be illegal? Obviously not using an emulator (have the original system and carts), but what are the boundaries?
Am I able to use a third party controller? Not a huge fan of the Genesis controller.
Is this (speedrun.com) the most populated place to talk about all things speedrunning? Where do I post my PBs and track other gamer's times?
Right now I am training on Sonic 2 and eventually Vectorman.
Thanks in advance, Techpalms
