Hi guys :) I'm Zamu and I'm an Italian magician, speedcuber and now speedrunner :D
When I was kid I did speedrun Super Mario Bros in about 8 minutes (I was 7-8 years old), but I didn't know the word "speedrun". I just loved to save Peach in less minutes possible. Now I would like to became a little bit "pro" :) I use emulators, just for easiness. I have an original NES in my attic, but I don't use it from maybe 20-25 years, I don't know if it work. Is speedrunning with emulators a problem? I read that you have some little lag with gamepad and Super Mario Bros has many pixel perfect jumps :D Let me know! Happy to be here! Zamu
Welcome aboard Zamu.
The allowance of emulators is handled on a game by game basis. To see what is allowed, it's best to check the forum and rules for the specific game. In Super Mario's case, https://www.speedrun.com/smb1 is where you want to check.
Good luck on your runs!
