Tetris 1.0?

Are there any rules regarding the Tetris version played? There seems to be a mechanical difference between 1.0 and 1.1 regarding directional input during a line clear, where 1.0 lets you setup for the next block slightly earlier as it doesn't stop directional inputs during it. Seems minor so wasn't sure if it's considered a big deal or not, was considering picking up a copy eventually but didn't know if it would affect a run.

Re: 1st post, good to know. Re: New, yep, I am. Just submitted my first runs for Tetris today so I'm new to this game in a speedrunning sense. Re: Off-screen, no, used Gambatte in Linux, recorded via OBS. I may do capture card recording though once I get a SGB2/SNES/1.0. And will do regardless. :)

Even if Nintendo DID go after streamers emulating games (which is hyper unlikely), wearing a cartridge around your neck wouldn't save you from legal action. It doesn't matter if you own the game, if you download the ROM from the internet it's piracy. The ONLY legal way to emulate (and it's more of a gray area than explicitly legal) is to dump the ROM from your own cartridge yourself, and play that ROM. Not that they'd know the difference necessarily, but semantics.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo is even against dumping your own ROMs, actually. But they would never pursue legal action for it.
