United StatesAlthough the SMB1 community is pretty large and well respected, there are a few games with very small communities, or just one runner where the only mod verify's his run and on the occasion I have seen some sketchy runs... I don't think its really a problem in a community like SMB1 but I still think people should never verify their own runs.
People should just wait for their run to be viewed and verified by someone else, just like everyone else... but that is my opinion.
EDIT: People should also put more effort into verifying self verified runs, but I can't act like I really do much myself.
It means the game freezes up and you cannot do anything/progress. Like infinite warping, or being stuck in some other type of loop.
@Z4T0X "@JdkzGlitchmaster Generally in randomizers for any game, yes glitches are required to complete the game. You could potentially get really lucky with the items you receive and complete the game without using glitches but generally you must use glitches to progress at particular points. its kinda the point of playing a randomizer. OOT randomizers are no exception"
"Saying that you generally need glitches to progress in randmomizers (or that the point of playing a randomizer is to use glitches) is not entirely accurate or correct. Plenty of randomizers have logic that prevent you from needing glitches to progress. ALTTP has such logic (and they also have one that does require major glitches for those who know them) and I've even beaten many Beta Quest seeds without glitches.
While glitches can help, plenty of randomizers are designed with logic options to ensure that glitches/major glitches aren't required. Obviously I don't know what kind of logic existed (or is planned to exist) in this randomizer, but if the right logic is put in place, glitches won't always be needed."
Glitches are def not the point of a randomizer lololol.... any point of them other than the one random that u utitlize oob on alttp I guess, but Idek anyone who runs all dung category atm even, glitched runs are dead (Rn anyways)
Anyways, judging by the previous conversation I would say glitches are needed, but its not really clear. The creator of the rom would have to come back to the thread/project obviously.
def doesnt look easy, you couldnt even get into the wall lol tbh I think just about all clips are a pain... Would be really cool to see someone throw it in a run, does it actually save frames tho?
^^^^ If he was making a TAS it wouldn't be a hardware issue, could be an issue with the emulation I suppose? Probably highly unlikely. Anyways, I am curious... if you were making a TAS, shouldnt you have the history of inputs?
I used a Xbox 1 controller to run for awhile before getting a cap, but I have to say they seem to break kinda easy after intense use. Like I played a lot for maybe 4 months and the d pad is pretty broken drops inputs and the b button is smashed in from mashing. Could probably fix this easily, but would be cheaper to use a better controller imo, also very different feel... at that point I might as well be a nerd and use a keyboard for optimal inputs ~
The only thing I have to say, is be careful with the Buffalo controllers. Depending on what u are trying to do they may give u some complications. I run a RPG game that requires a lot of diagonal inputs, and my friend has one of the buffalo controllers but it doesn't pick up diagonal inputs which makes it impossible to play Not impossible but very frustrating to speedrun
SO if it is JUST for SMB1 u should be totally fine, just be aware for some reason his controller was having a hard time mapping directionals Just wasn't doing it and I have heard of other people having this issue as well. Good controller other than that, I would probably just get an adapter to use a liscensed SNES controller tho personally
Yooo Zheal, or maybe a Gintatsu project I am hearing v0oidOk
"Turbo, emulator specific functionality and techniques that simultaneously press Up+Down or Left+Right are all banned." There are specific rules and definitions on the alttp speedrun wiki, at the end of the categories section. I will admit, I don't know the rules about posting links... however you can find the wiki if you look in the guides section here for alttp on Speedrun. Also a lot of other good resources here, as well as a link for the discord I believe.
Goodluck and have fun on the runs.
I don't know much about the run/route yet but interested/interesting. Maybe with some routing it could become more feasible?
I think it is so funny to say a record is, "invalid" if it is not on SR.... Well I guess rip to all the illegitimate Megaman and Donkey runs. Not to mention the guy who had WR in Taz Mania on youtube for mad long and no time submitted to SR
Also I am pretty sure there are people who have amazing runs that never submit times or even take video proof, as my friend was telling me of a buddy of his who speedruns games for fun, but pretty sure does not record because he simply doesn't care enough to compete with anyone except for the game and himself lol which is what it should be to begin with
Emu is pretty bad for speedrunning this game honestly, at least 10x better (if not more) just getting a console.
Judging by that instant sub 50 I would assume the new tech works lol, I have to say I have kinda noticed this does seem to be the case when I play so I wouldn't be surprised if that is accurate. Judging from the runs I have done of straight spamming the grab/eat button as opposed to the runs I have done not hitting anything but the run button.
It also does seem to help if you don't eat any of the other birds, but get rid of the other guys like the douche on the moe-ped that throws dynamite at you. I am not 100% sure how accurate this is but it seems like if there is too many sprites it is less likely to load a kiwi, but the other birds will make it so either it will spawn a gold one, or it will spawn what ever bird instead.
Like I said not 100% sure about that last bit but judging by the few attempts I have done, it seems to be the case.
Idk I guess I could understand that but based on the fact that you have never even finished a run yet it is certainly a little weird to just bring up lol
lol what anyways I think cheating is pretty pointless, does look a little suspicious but grats. The split times are just insane though, did you use like a turbo to start and stop times lmao?
