Hello, I submitted a run to the any% category about 2 weeks ago but it has not been verified yet. I wanted to ask how long the average verification process is and if it takes longer for people's first ever runs.
Keep in mind that the mods' lives are probably busy and they don't have as much time to verify runs as they did before.
another thing is that this is a highly ran game so there are many runs the mods have to verify
It really depends how many have the time to do it and the volume that we have. SMB1 is a pretty high volume game and a number of us have been rather busy lately. One or two is having hardware issues and unable to do it until it gets fixed. We are generally allowed up to three weeks from date of submission.
Sometimes runs are verified in less than a day, sometimes it might be a few weeks.
I've been extremely busy over the last several months personally due to work, but if I end up with a couple hours of free time today, I'll see about knocking out some of the backlog of runs.
It takes a while, I'd love to be verified instantly because I've seen some guys being verified the same day they submit a run but well, it really depends of their time. We don't know how much free time they have, remember they do this without asking anything in exchange. Patience is required. I'm also waiting a run I did around 15 days ago.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
