Question regarding both emulation & hardware
4 years ago
California, USA

Hello!

Thanks for creating this track. I rediscovered this game recently & was playing for scores when I searched Speedrun out of curiosity.

I have a few questions regarding this track:

1 - Are any emulators allowed? I'm on a Mac using OpenEmu (which uses the Genesis Plus core).

2 - Are Everdrive carts allowed?

  1. Not sure. I've done most of my Genesis speedrunning on hardware. I'd look to the more established Genesis game leaderboards for guidance on permissable emulators.

  2. Yes! My leaderboard run of this game was done using an EverDrive (Mega EverDrive x5).

Re: permissible emulators, I believe it's at the moderator's / moderators' discretion.

I'll make my attempts via the EverDrive cart (I have the Mega x3). I cannot screen capture, unfortunately, so I'll have to record & let you be the judge. Thanks!

In that case, I'd say any of the Genesis Plus GX based emulators (the standalone version, BizHawk, or RetroArch). However, the guiding principle I go with is "the emulator should be accurate enough to convey no advantage over playing on an original console".

I'll update the rules. Thanks for the questions!
