Hi,
I'm Kaddath, a guy who does speedruns!
I mostly run Game Gear games, as i had one as a child and i think this platform is a bit underrated, mostly because it has a bunch of really good games that are specific to the platform. I didn't take it real seriously in terms of leaderboard because i knew SDA don't take emulators, and i was kind of waiting to have a modded Game Gear for video export. Didn't run for almost a year, and now i come back i'm glad there is a website like this one!
Some questions:
¤ I'd like to submit some times i did on games that are not listed here, the form tells that it should not be used just to add games, is this precision aimed to people who want to add games but don't want to moderate them? I'n not against moderate them but leads to question 2
¤ Is there any kind of problem if the moderator is the one that's holding the record? like fearing partial behaviours?
¤ I haven't seen anywhere on the web a kind of official list of emulators accepted for Game Gear, that can emulate the machine lag properly for example. Am i to create the list or would any emulator be accepted, or maybe it depends on the game?
¤ Runs i did in the past were streamed on twitch, but with very bad quality due to my connexion at that time, is it better that i try to pb on local with better quality recording or is it ok?
Thank you for all and this amazing website!

Hello ¤ Submit it here : http://www.speedrun.com/requestgame ¤ No ¤ The moderators of the run, according to their own community, make their own rules. It depends on the game. ¤ Ok, for this one, it depends on the people, I prefer twitch highlights as proof but it depends. Both are good anyway.

Thanks for the anwser!
Specifically one of the problem i have is with FreezeSMS emulator, on my actual setup it is the best for streaming because it is the one whose framerate is stable with OBS. It seems tu emulate machine lag quite well because some lags in precise parts of games -in shinobi and sonic for ex, which i remember were on the actual game gear- are reproduced well with it. Unfortunately i find no donumentation about accuracy on freezeSMS. Does anyone have precise infos on this?
I am testing presently BizHawk for local recoding, as its features allow to show FPS, inputs, lag frames and re-records on the final movie, as a kind of proof that there is no re-record and verify inputs, i have still to test it with OBS when i have a new internet connexion.
