United StatesYeah I was myself using color change as my indicator of when to end time, when timing my runs, because that seemed to be the ONLY way of knowing. I'm not sure what else you could even use, because I kept triggering point 4) in OP.
The problem with re-checking times is that unless people have perfect frame for frame recordings, the recordings will have margins of error. But if there's a way to be sure, great. Download those videos and load them in avidemux for frame comparisons. That's how I time these things.
Should move the marathons to the bottom then.
Nah, it's not "bad moderation" not to give the white glove treatment to random new runners.
It's actually horrible community management to get picky with new runners.
I'd say by default a re-release's in-game timer should be a separate category. I doubt it goes down to the frame level, does it?
I think a like button for runs would be harmless, unlike a comments system tied to runs.
- You're creating a sprite overflow, causing things in the next room not to load. Watch Saver's tutorial. The route is out of date but the mechanics still apply.
- The LADX discord also covers this one.
Yeah the rankings on the site are correct.
If there are four people tied for first, then the next person is in 5th place. That's how it works.
Just don't set a region at all. I didn't want a US State showing for me, so I just selected United States and no region.
For example, I want to link to Link to the Past Any% No Out of Bounds, which the Link to the Past moderators have as a subcategory of Major Glitches.
@Smelly_Mctroll Yogi's an active guy on Twitch, hit him up there.
The red hand flag is based on the Ulster flag. The St. Patrick's Cross was the flag for Ireland when it was part of the UK, and it's still part of the Union flag. So I guess if the flag is specifically meant to refer to the six counties, the red hand flag makes more sense?
I didn't know he'd been hitting retry. Good catch Eunos
Use whatever timer you want. Your video is what really matters for timing.
Clone systems are often inaccurate, sadly. If this is the Retron of Game Boys then you'd want to steer far clear.
It's based on the same version as the Wii VC, but with a compressed display. Probably runs slow too but I can't confirm that. Don't run it if you have other options.
@FurryWulfz, that's the point. If a person takes a video down, on purpose, that person is trying to be removed from boards.
HD Capture is expensive. But to capture an NES, GV USB2 is solid. http://amzn.to/2uKCUSQ
And I Think putting all your PBs on youtube is great.
Recording the whole emulator window is in general a good idea, along with having a record of streamed attempts showing effort and improvement, but if you ever go for WR, get on console. :)
Window capture should be able to show the enitre window? don't know.
Emulator settings: Make sure left+right and up+down are turned off. Make sure you only have one button bound to each controller button.
ROM version: Get the US NES version. Either PRG0 or PRG1 is fine.
Cheating: No watching memory variable, using savestates, or any of that stuff. Only do things you can do on a real NES.
Stream viewers helping: That's fine.
HD: An LCD TV probably adds lag to the display which will make it harder to play.
Changing routes: You don't really "need" to until you're looking at a PB around 33 minutes I guess? Really whenever you want though.
Wizzrobes: Sounds like your emulator isn't displaying at 60fps.
