hey so im thinking of starting to run this game but can someone tell me what is a blue balls?
I've been sifting through all the forums and things trying to find the rules for submitting a run for ALTTP, and I can't find where they are listed. My biggest concern was the use of emulators, and while I did see a post about people using emulators like BSNES, I wanted to know if that was still allowed as I am about to start running the game in the Any% - NMG category, and if I get my time down to a reasonable one I might consider posting them. Which emulators, if any, do you suggest to be used for the most accurate times, and least amount of issues? Also sorry if this is a silly question. I just created my speedrun.com account a few days ago, and I'm still very new to this :).
The rules can be found by clicking the "View Rules" button in the top right of the leaderboard. From there you can review both the "Game Rules" and "Category Rules" for any of the leaderboards we have.
That said, out of the emulators that are allowed there is no noticeable difference in speed for any of them. Retroarch does tend to be the more powerful of the options and does a good job at minimizing input delay, but it can be hard to get set up. I personally use SNES9X (version 1.60) without any issues.
@siriuscord Okay thanks man! I also use Snes9X so there shouldn't be any issues if I were to submit using it? It will be a while before I can even consider posting a time unless I get VERY lucky considering I'm just now getting back into the ALTTP groove.
As long as you're above version 1.5 I think you're good, but definitely double check the rules to be sure you follow the other emulator requirements :)
Hi Everyone. New runner with a question. I'm looking to set up an autosplit for a normal run. Under the resource tab I've downloaded the one complete split but it's for a glitch run. the other 3 splits listed don't have the .asl file so nothing really happens. I've tried searching the net to find a downloadable auto split for link to the past but can't seem to find some. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
I don't use autosplitting but the main discord is very active and full of users who can help point you in the right direction =)
Be sure to check the rules for each category. Some emulators require you to display specific settings to make the run valid.
