Do I need to prove what emulator I was playing on?
5 years ago

The recent update (a week ago Keepo ) that said Nestopia runs do not require input files has brought some questions in my mind, such as how would moderators know what emulator you are playing on, if you had a layout like mine where you can't see the little bar of what rom you are using, what emulator it is.

So, after I complete a run or something, do I need to switch my scene to show that I am using the Nestopia emulator?

My 1-1 fire got verified and i was playing on Nestopia. In the description I stated that I used "Nestopia v1.40" However if you feel like it you can switch the scene and show proof you are on emulator just in case.

Hope my response helped you out.

I'm not sure how much more strict it will be if I am playing the any%, and getting a difficult time like 4:56, so I'm still not sure if it would be verified as rules get more strict and runs get more suspicious as they get more difficult

Thank you for trying to help though, I will be sure to include "Nestopia v1.40" because that's the Nestopia I'm using

We have discussed that a bit but haven't come to a conclusion. Switching the scene or showing the border after your run is always appreciated. We will reject runs that do not list or show the emulator used.

Most Pokemon runs require that the emulator window be fully visible for the entirety of the run. I'd assume that'd be the easiest way to ensure the correct emulator is used.

Ok, thank you for the response
