AntarcticaDepends how much time is missing from the run. If it’s a few seconds, it’s usually fine. If it’s multiple minutes, it’s usually not fine.
At the end of the day, there’s not global rules. Ask the mods of the game you were running what their rules are.
@Krayzar that method is horrible, those built in converters are rare and hard to find because they are only in random, early NES games. There’s only a couple games that always have one and those are usually pretty expensive. If you get lucky that’s one thing, but take it from someone who dumped $50 into used carts of games to try and find one - just buy a Famicom for $50-$80 on eBay.
It’s easier to just buy a Famicom than to use a pin converter on an NES because the converters can be hard to find and you also need a cloth strip to be able to actually remove the game from the console once it’s in there (unless you use a top loader).
And as others said, yes, JP console in America won’t blow up over any potential over loading, the AC adapter handles it. My source is I’ve been using JP consoles in America for years and none have gone kaboom. The only console I ever needed an adapter for was the iQue because it’s a Chinese/PAL console.

Why did you create the same thread in two forums 9 minutes apart? https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/467qw
Don’t do this.
It’s hard to offer any advice without knowing what game you requested. But generally speaking, you need to provide information about the run (through some notes about it or in a description of the video) that shows that you aren’t just casually playing through the game. In other words, there needs to be some evidence of you putting some thought into running the game and it’s route. Sometimes this is evident through the video, other times it might need some explaining. You also have to show a full run of the game, not a simple IL or something.
Additionally, you need to provide info about the game, usually a link to a page like Wikipedia or Steam that shows it’s not a dike a dozen game and is actually a real, full game with some kind of substance to it.
[quote]If I do not need to show the options, what's the point of this rule?[/quote] Idk, why don’t you ask the people who made the rules. You know, the mods of the game.
There’s not much more anyone here can do for you. These questions and concerns need to be raised with the mods of the game as they’re the ones who made the rules.
As for a mod verifying their own run, there’s nothing against it, it’s just discouraged when there are multiple active mods on a game.
Props to this bot for making a coherent post https://www.speedrun.com/user/hoangcv18
The intro cutscene alone takes about 3 minutes. The current Any% WR is just over 17 minutes. Even taking away the opening cutscene (idk what the demo contains) then it’s clear that it’s in no way possible to complete the game on the demo.
As for what can be completed, probably not that much. Depending on where the demo drops you, there’s not much you can do in 5 minutes.
The Half Life community uses their own site primarily. There’s also a discord but I don’t have a link handy
There’s really no such thing as an “easy run”. Most runs will require a lot of hard work and practice to get very good. However, there are often a number of games that can be pretty easy to learn and get kinda good in, but mastering a game (so to speak) will usually be pretty difficult.
What I’m trying to say is find an N64 game that interests you. Find a category for it that seems beginner friendly (ask people in the community for their opinions) and start to learn it. More than likely, you’ll be able to do a few runs and get a few PBs without much hassle. But beyond that, decide if you like the game/run enough to continue investing time and effort into it.
A timer doesn’t make it accurate at all. A timer is controlled by you, therefore it’s only as accurate as your reflexes to split (so not that accurate).
The best way to get an accurate time is to frame count the run. Find the first frame of the run and the last frame. Then subtract the two to get the length of your run in frames. After that, divide it by the FPS of the capture/video to get the length of your run in seconds. From there it’s trivial to turn seconds into minutes, hours, etc.
Lmao.
The whole point of the password reset was because people used the same password everywhere.
If you insist on it, I would tell you not to do it for your own online safety. Then I’d tell you’d to save the new one somewhere (there is software for this). Then if you still insist, just go through the forgot password process again and change it again. I don’t think the site has an age limit on passwords preventing you from using former ones, unless it’s been added since the issue.
Don’t just assume an emulator is allowed for a game, always check the rules or ask the mods first. I also don’t think Bluestacks is the most accurate thing either, but I never looked at it that much.
Also for what it’s worth, this thread has nothing to do with running Android games on a phone, the OP is asking if they can record console gameplay on a TV with a phone camera for video proof.
I don’t know what you’re talking about at all (there’s no “Premium” users on here). If you’re talking about donating $5, then that’s how you get the custom icon next to your name (among a few other things). You just upload any picture you want and it’ll become your icon.
How do you even route an MMO for a speedrun? Most games like that aren’t super great for speedrunning because it can be very RNG dependent on other players. So unless it has a main storyline that is separate from the MMO part of it, I’m not sure it’ll be that great of a run.
I can’t speak for the mods here, but usually to become a mod you have to be active in the game and it’s community (if there is one), and then if the current mods need help, you can ask and they’ll consider you.
However given that this game has a single run and two active mods, I don’t think they’ll be looking for much help any time soon.
