We are now on racetime.gg ( https://racetime.gg/friday13 ) thanks to PGH! A group of us have been doing races there Friday nights and we're hoping it becomes at least a semi-regular thing. If anyone is interested in joining us or spectating just hop on the Discord.

I'll just post this here because I don't feel it warrants it's own thread: I didn't submit either of the triple races we did on Friday because I didn't go fullscreen after to show my entire emulator. But now that I know I can immediately reset after Jason dies on day 3, I should be able to get a better time anyway. Will submit one when RNG permits and I have the proper proof.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my personal thought on the matter there is that since you had two mods racing with you that can cross reference the commentary if necessary, the full emulator window wouldn't be needed and you could just list whatever emulator and version you were using in the comments. You've submitted runs before and I'm assuming you use the same emulator for races that you do for solo runs as well.

Yessir, I only run NES games using FCEUX 2.2.2. I do have Mesen on my computer, but that's because there is a SimCity NES prototype that doesn't run properly on FCEUX, and I have a gold and silver trophy on runs for that game. You can tell I am running FCEUX as the resets and controller input at the bottom left match every other video I've submitted. If I were using another emulator, you could tell by just those features which are unique and vary in every emulator.

I will submit my better of the two for now. I will still work on improving it, I know I can with some RNG, faster day 3 resets, etc. Once that is done, I will provide a full window on the improvement. I plan on streaming some Police Quest III tonight, as I just figured out how to get DOSBox to properly display on OBS. But I plan on working on that triple pack as well, so I might have a better run shortly.

The getting used to resetting right after you know Jason's dead takes some getting used to. On the first 3 pack we did Friday I was still sitting there halfway through the end screen before I remembered to reset!
