Thanks, I've basically figured as much. I was told that over HDMI there's no way to avoid lag so ezcap it is

Just wondering if I can use it for any%....I do have a SNES and SM cart but it just looks so much better via digital video signal. Input lag is minimal which is nice. FYI the hacked ones will run randomized roms and the basic romhacks

I have found that Mednafen runs the best for my setup, but I need to know if it's approved for speedruns. It seems to emulate lag correctly when I drop a power bomb but I'll post a link to a video.

Ok, found my issue. The screen I was playing on has a weird native resolution (1920x1200). I moved the window to my other 1080p monitor and it seems to capture much better.

Ok, thanks for the replies. The issue I have with snes9x is screen tearing.... Fixed with v-sync, but OBS captures it with a choppy rate. My best option is the Linux version but then I'm stuck with Llanfair for a timer

I am pretty new to speedrunning, but I've been playing the retro games since 1989. My flavor of choice is Super Metroid...if anyone can tell me if Bsnes is banned for that I would be thankful for the knowledge......I also got some SMB skills so I might be doing some of that too.
