Richmond, VA, USAI know the feeling Garita, just remember, innocent until proven guilty. If you want some assistance evaluating a run, please ask I'm sure many of the mods for other games would be willing to help!
Something like this (although not necessarily this specific one) would probably be the cheapest option if you can make it work for you. I used to use one for NES runs, and even though the quality wasn't HD, it worked for what I needed.
Good luck on your runs!
Shadow of the Colossus looks like a blast, too complicated for me. Good luck and have fun!
Same here, childhood games are the best because of the nostalgia. Good luck on your runs!
Yeah man, if you enjoy the game, and you're willing to invest time into running it, that's reason in itself.
I feel you Drako, I'm the type to gladly donate to anything free that is giving me entertainment/helping me. Hell, I used to pay 60 bucks a month for cable TV, so I'd much rather give that money to something I actually use

Hello SF2:GB Runners, I'm glad you found your way here and I welcome you to this fun port of a classic!
I wanted to make a post for new runners to familiarize themselves with the rules and be transparent about the reasons they are in place.
To begin, the rules I have implemented are. . .
-
Gambatte or BGB are the only allowed emulators
-
Standard difficulty settings (difficulty 2).
-
Timing starts after confirming character selection and ends on "you win" after M. bison.
-
Sound is required with your video for verification reasons starting for any submissions after 7/25/17.
The reason these rules are in place currently. . .
-
Visual Boy Advance has proven to be a reliable emulator for Gameboy Advance games only, and is inaccurate for original Gameboy/Color games. Please use Gambatte or BGB to avoid any chance of rejection.
-
At the time of this, the only category is "Beat the Game". I keep the category as simple as possible, cut the game on, don't adjust any of the in game settings. The default starting difficulty is "2".
-
Start the timer when you confirm your chatacter (there is an audio cue). End the timer after you defeat Bison (the second time) and the words "You Win" appear. I chose this as the end split to give everyone a chance to get to their split button after the fight.
-
Please include the game audio with your submissions as they help greatly with verification. The start time is based off of an audio cue.
Thank you for taking the time to read and understand the rules and why they are in place. Good luck on your runs!
*4/10/18- Edit for grammar corrections *3/6/18- Edit because I spelled "cue" queue. *6/30/19- Edit for aesthetics for the new site layout
- Own my own Boxing gym/ be a successful trainer.
- Become a Titled Chess Master.
- Leave a trail of positive energy behind me for people to ride.
How about you?
First up, welcome, I hope you enjoy your time here!
Above on the banner, click "games" then "All Games". Then over on the right side towards the top of the screen you will see "Request a new game". I hope that helps move you in the right direction and keep in mind that approval might take a while (read week(s)) Good luck on your runs!
Welcome! Z2 is a phenomenal, albeit difficult, run. Good luck on your runs, and ask away if you have any questions.
Welcome TechyHick! If you have any questions or want advice, please ask away, and utilize the individual game forums! (took me a while to realize they were there when I first started)
I'm sorry everyone involved has to be troubled by, what seems on the surface, like an easy enough fix. Petty squabbling and emotional judgments don't have any place in the Moderator/Runner interaction.
As Mod, your (volunteer) job is simply to verify the run time as accurate unless you have a very strong suspicion (preferably backed by evidence) as to why it shouldn't be verified. There are plenty of people/Mods for other games that are more than happy to serve as another set of eyes if there's a TAS suspicion and you're not proficient in spotting the "help". I don't see where comments regarding how the run was completed (I used a broken controller. No you didn't prove it!) are necessary or professional. In my opinion, one shouldn't edit the comments of a submitted run except to supplement that information or reflect an adjustment in the timing, but that's just me.
I'm not going to speculate on whether or not somebody should be a Mod for a game based off of their experience Speed Running, since being a player of a game doesn't make you a good referee for the game and vice versa, however the fact that this is still being talked about more than a week later tells me that it isn't being handled in an efficient manner. Since runs can be retroactively declined after approval, it makes sense to me to verify the run if there's only suspicion and no obvious evidence of cheating, and alert the other Mod to take a second look over the run. I'm not taking sides because this just seems like a spiraled-out-of-control miscommunication that isn't being handled correctly.
As far as the runner (Chhipz) is concerned, I hope this get's taken care of sooner rather than later because I personally don't see the hold up (I may be missing some info) but I do know that the Admin(s) have a lot on their plate so will take some time getting to/resolving the matter. I suppose that's the point of having Mods, so you can mitigate some of the workload. Side note, congrats on the run! (pending approval)
Street Fighter II for Gameboy. I'm the mod and am always welcoming new runners :) hope to see you there.
Super Mario World has a few I believe, if you like platforming. What style of game do you prefer?
Welcome to the site!
