you can just post guides in SRC itself for now.

@Drakodan Every board I run is run as a community project, where people can choose to join, or not. I'm not going to bully people into feeling they have to participate.

This idea reminds me of the Twin Galaxies obsession with Guinness, and not in a good way.

Says the guy who runs ROBLOX: Speed Run 4.

I'd say submitting it should be fine. If there's a timing discrepancy we'll study it.

If you can't prove it's cheated, publish it, and let the community find the proof.

Putting everything on the mods is how you get a Todd Rogers situation.

Generic doesn't seem to be the word you really want here.

The problem isn't that it's generic, it's that it's unimportant. It's a shovelware release by a minor developer. The game has no following and is going to disappear entirely in 6 months. It's so unimportant that the developer's own website has broken links to the game.

@Liv is absolutely right. A determined cheater using homebrew emulation is capable of producing fakes that are impossible to disprove.

If you can't find how it was cheated then it's not blatantly fake is it?

This is why video should be required. Self-verified or not, the evidence is there for anyone to catch it.

It absolutely makes sense to apply it retroactively. A self-verified 'WR' with no video is an absolute joke.

Why is not requiring verification an available option, anyway? - Because community verification is more accurate than moderation team verification anyway.

Keep in mind that TSA, Kryssstal, Exo, Todd Rogers, and Billy Mitchell got past verification. It was the community who caught them out as cheats.

If you're playing on a real NES you're not losing any time, no matter what it's hooked up to.

But the VC/Switch versions are downclocked so they display at HDMI framerates without tearing.

I would love to have this feature. There are a lot of rules that make sense to write up for a game, that aren't category specific. It would be pretty crazy to write a lengthy list of rules about emulators, key bindings, valid consoles, and such, and have to duplicate it for every single category.

Rejecting random flash games makes sense.

Rejecting mainstream commercial games released on cart, I think should be reconsidered.

Can you point to anywhere in particular where the SRC JS violates the standards?

Honestly you might not have been OFF. If you timed from a raw video, and I timed from the Youtube encode... throw in little errors from software versions and decodes, and there are error bars with this stuff.

But yeah I can try to do that.

ok retiming (finally) With a newer version of avidemux

start: 4.204 End: 36.209

Total: 32.005

So what part of the run was cheated?

Yup, it's fine but you're sacrificing time.

Just make sure you don't use save states or anything like that.
