SwitzerlandHi, I'm currently running the Gameboy version of Qix and was wondering where to submit my run,"Level 10" on GB:
One possibility would be to add a new category here for Gameboy, the other to request a completely new game. Personally I think a new category would be better: 1. The GB version is quite similar (graphics differ a bit), 2. Name matches exactly ("Qix").
Any thoughts on this?
You can run this game using an emulator, but please read the following restrictions before submitting a run.
This is inspired by the biggest GBA-only speedrunning community Metroid Zero Mission and this post. As this is currently not a big community, the rules are not (yet) as strict. Nonetheless, as VBA/VBA-M is wildly inaccurate, no runs using it will be accepted.
Allowed emulators:
- BizHawk (mGBA core, profile: TAS)
- OpenEmu (mGBA core)
(Potentially also others using the mGBA core or which are similarly accurate.)
Explicitly disallowed:
- Visual Boy Advance VBA/VBA-M
When submitting a run, please state what emulator and version you are using.
See also the GBrunners page for a detailed comparison.
Hi there. Because I started my timer by hand, my run got re-timed. For future runs, I want to make sure I start at the right time, and as a non-native English speaker I'm not really sure what exactly "Time starts the frame your character moves after starting the game" means.
There's a fade-in of the game (from a black screen) and a non-moving character up until some point. And I see two possible candidate frames for a timer start:
- The last "still" frame before the first movement (after this the "character moves" - but it hasn't moved yet) - then I would phrase the rule as "Time starts the frame before your character moves"
- The first frame after the first visible movement (on this frame we're sure the character has moved, but it's somehow already too late) - then I would phrase the rule as "Time starts the frame after your character has moved for the first time"
Which one fits to the definition? I know it's just about which frame to take from two subsequent frames, but it's not clear to me.
