New Emulator Rules
5 years ago
Baden-Württemberg, Germany

As of the 20th March 2019, rule changes for emulator were made.

This results in the following:

ALLOWED:

BANNED:

  • ZSNES
  • no$sns
  • bSNES
  • Snes9x version 1.4x and lower

This is due to inaccurate emulating times found in those emulators. (as well as other glitches like graphical and sound errors)

This inconsistency was found my LeandroAmadeu and tested as well by myself.

Also, this rulechange creates the most accurate experience for all runners.

A short comparison between SNES9X 1.53 and ZSNES 1.51 can be found here:

(watch in 0.25 speed and you can see the speed differences)

Notes for this comparison: Emulators used: Snes9x 1.53 & ZSNES 1.51

ZSNES loading times are significantly faster (by about 1,5 seconds per loading screen) and instabile frame rates during combat. (+ 2-5 frames skipped, resulting in faster animations, combat starts faster, etc.)

This will affect all new runs and runners. These changes were made to have the most accurate times possible.

Thank you for your attention.

Saudações PandaBURRR. Eu vi sua atualização e entendi a nova regra. O problema é que em 19/03 fiz uma transmissão ao vivo com o meu novo disco. Eu usei Zsnes e antes mesmo de você mudar a regra eu já tinha enviado meu tempo. Será validado ou você cancelará?

Greetings PandaBURRR. I saw your update and I understand the new rule. The problem is that on 03/19 I made a livestream with my new record. I used Zsnes and before you even changed the rule I had already sent my time. Will it be validated or will you cancel?

Hello @JotaNovaisBR ! I think, we can verify your run now as legit and it will be accepted for the last time with you using the ZSNES Emulator. For future runs, please use the Snes9x Emulator with version 1.5x and above. Download: http://www.s9x-w32.de/dl/ (I personally use Snes9x 1.53) Thank you very much and congratulations to your Personal Best time !

Greetings, PandaBURRR
