Jönköping, SwedenCan we get proper emulation rules for once, its been over 2y since this was even discussed, mod haven't done anything to adress it.
Example of good rules https://www.speedrun.com/r-type_gb
Hardware: -If you play on the original Super Game Boy (SGB), please submit your run with a converted time: https://sprintinglegs.com/convert
Emulator: -The authorized emulators are bgb, Gambatte, or Bizhawk (with the gambatte core). -VBA, Retroarch, sameboy and other emulators are banned for its inaccurate timing. https://sprintinglegs.com/emutiming/results.html -Emulator runs should be hard resetting inbetween runs, and not load a save state. -Please state the name of the emulator used the the description.
Videos: -Youtube links are preferred over Twitch, as they're easier to download for retiming, and Twitch has a history of losing past broadcasts and highlights. Please export your highlight to Youtube if possible.
@FlashTheorie im willing to help mod this game if its too much work to attend to it for you.
Ignoring the fact that I die on phase 2 because I'm still learning the run at the moment of this recording.
It seems that you can slip through the propellers and avoid a death animation. It is extremely tight and prob a 1-2 frame window, the bigger issue being the x-position being in flux due to the camera at this segment of the map, making it absurdly hard. Nonetheless, it would be the faster kill in theory. This was recorded in realtime.
oh it links to ones profile too, guess that still is the best alternative regardless then : )
im aware, I chose actively not to. I personally don't have notifications turned on for getting mentions in forum threads, I can't speak for what others have. Therefore I figured it'd be better if he contacted by message. It's just by cheer luck that I chose to check this thread again that I noticed your message
https://www.speedrun.com/user/maxylobes knows a thing or two about horror games, maybe you could send him a message
Unless there's a difference in gameplay for PAL versions, categories are not generally made for them - that's a timeloss runners just have to deal with. Then there's games like Blaster Master where PAL is the fastest possible version due to a region specific glitch, which forces a new category.
zsnes should def be banned, there are better emulation options today. I don't know of any serious snes leaderboard that accepts it
Feels about time to establish proper emulation rules, I myself plan to submit runs in the very near future. If you're unaware of what's generally allowed, check Contra III leaderboard. I'm also gonna include this

Likewise if you check CV4 which is much more popular and competitive than this game generally. You can spot "ZSNES (all versions) and SNES9X (1.43 and below) are banned."
Doom is one of those special cases where they do keep tabs on records through their own webpage if I recall. I'm not into the series so I can't remember where that would be, if you join their discord im sure you can get some answers. @AltimaMantoid

Seen accuracy test sheets up and to this revision, never past it. No idea if later ones are actually more accurate or not. Likewise I have co-op in mind as a secondary agenda and am wondering which revision are preferred for it.
Snes community itself is none existent, hoping to get lucky here.
I got me a NES classic controller and fetched me an adapter from raphnet to connect it to USB.
Castlevania 2 NES can kill Death in 1 hit, as well as dracula in 2 hits.
I also don't know if its for you, but you have https://www.speedrun.com/shinobi_ps2 and https://www.speedrun.com/nightshade for PS2. https://www.speedrun.com/loi could also be another project for you.
