@aiqiyou thank you for explaining Xiu's side of the story. It is important to get the facts.
Sounds like a good plan of action. I think we can call this finished. If matters come up at a later point, this can always be brought back to the discussion.
Will these rules be carried over to the other NG games? I personally think they should, but as each game has their own mods and rules, is it likely?
I wanted to say thanks one last time to everyone who got involved in making Ninja Gaiden a more fair speedrun challenge for everyone.
And it's done. Deleted the console/emulator separation and updated the rules slightly. Please give feedback if there is anything you want to add/remove/change.
"- Emulators such as FCUEX 2.2.2 or newer are encouraged." "- If your run is faster than 13:30 you will be required to have a frame counter clearly showing "no movie" and a display of input."
Little idea on emu runs. I think works nice to prove youself you not using any kind of macros with Windows especiallly if runner would stream live his emu attempts on twitch or elsewhere. Its for people who will do wr or high result attempts on emu not to make everybody suspicious, writing just in case, maybe somebody will read and use it as an addition. Its kind of 100% no input cheat proof on Windows. The thing is you can do screen capture, show you pc workspace, show all your apps in task bar one by one, open your task manager, scroll down all tasks slowly, open your windows tray, show all app names there, open emu input configuration, show buttons set. Someday somebody will recognize if there smth bad in task manager anyway. Not so hard do once 2-3 hours before attempts, need one minute for this. But its intricate, yeah XD I leave it here just in case, you know.
Thanks for bringing all the things back everybody who participated, I am grateful.
I like this idea. I think with emu runs in like top 5-10 places, maybe there should be a rule, or a courtesy rather, of having a camera showing hands and screen as they play. This would be hard to do if they don't have a webcam. Or if they have a webcam and cant move it, like its attached to the laptop. So your idea of showing the taskbar + task manager or whatnot would probably be a good idea in those situations.
Similar clones are popular here in the Philippines too. They're neat, but the functionality of bootleg clone hardware doesn't really hold any weight in this discussion. A lot of clones have turbo controllers right out of the box too, but usage of turbo is still banned for most (if not all) NES runs.
