Hey there,

I recentely began learning sm64 120 star. I currently do runs on emulator, where it is convient to record my gameplay. I do have n64 and vc sm64, but i dont have a method of recording for this. The problem is, I use linux where openemu (mac) and project64 (windows) do not run on.

What do? I suppose i could try to get p64 working under wine, but i imagine this would would be hard (especially the controller).

The leaderboards aren't everything. You can always practice and improve without recording or submitting your times. I primarily used linux before I got into speedrunning, but the options for capturing game footage and emulator are pretty lacking and I thought it was not worth the effort. If you can get it working in wine that'd be fine, but I'm afraid there's no easy answer.

What emu do you use?

I think if OpenEmu is allowed, Mupen64Plus should be allowed, because OpenEmu uses a Mupen64Plus core.

We're trying to minimize the number of emus, since they all seem to run different even pj64 1.6 vs 1.7. It makes more sense to assume a linux user could get pj64 working through wine than someone that uses mac, since half of using linux is getting shit to work that shouldn't. Ideally mac users would do this too, but in practice this doesn't happen.

Replacing Expiring Twitch VODs

If you wish to replace your twitch highlights with reuploads, please edit your already verified run rather than deleting the verified run and making a new submission. This makes it a lot easier for us to track which submissions are reuploads and should be less work on your part as well.
