Hi everyone.

For the sake of clarification, we've decided to add these rules for our leaderboard.

-Submitted video must show reset or game over screen from previous run before level selection screen.

This is to prevent emulator players, should they decide to get a specific random seed by starting the game at a specific frame in the level selection screen, from using savestate to skip the waiting time and thus gaining an unfair advantage over console players.

-Game audio must be presented during the whole duration of the video. Playing with music type OFF is fine, but game audio must not be turned off altogether.

The reason is that game audio is a common way to detect inaccurate emulators or cheated runs.

Please take these rules into account when recording and cropping your videos for future submissions.

Regards.

Hi.

I'm interested in running this version of Dr. Mario but I've never run a N64 game before and I'm not sure if using emulator is okay. However, seeing that there are a few runs done with emulator on the leaderboard, I assume that it is allowed. So, my question is, which emulator should I use, and are there any settings that I should be aware of?

Hi. A question. Is running this game on an emulator OK? And if it is, which one is acceptable?

Hi, I have a few questions about 100 phases category since the current rules don't seem to cover them. I know death is most undesirable in an optimized run, but I'm asking anyway just in case.

  1. Is it allowed to continue from last phase after a game over?
  2. When Mario dies, is it allowed to press select and immediately restart the phase to skip death animation?
  3. When Mario loses the golden hammer, is it allowed to press select and start from an earlier phase to regain it?

(Also I'm using FCEUX 2.2.3. Please tell me if there's more acceptable emulator.)

Hello people.

I was planning to run the whole game (all 4 stories) in one segment but noticed there was no category for that. Maybe because no one has defined the rules for Origin story yet. Do we have any plan to include that?
