Hi folks,

I'm running this (on a famicom emulator - FCEUX) and the in-game sound is not wonderful to listen to for multiple runs. Can we get a ruling on if it is necessary to have in-game sound on in the run video? I can just shut the sound off and listen to music while I stream it and that is preferable.

Cheers, Zericc

Hey Zericc.

Yep, the whole game has this non-stop sound during the runs. I know this game for the Arcade during the beginning of the 90's and practically I did assimilate already this "monotonous" sound of the game. The priority of runs submitted in this page require video and audio, and in relation to audio... so probably it is possible to diminish the in-game sound until volume 1 or 2, little bitty sound of the game, and the music you would like listening to... you can do that.

The music not from the videogame, I can think if it this possible (at least for me) to do that, you know... praying that your VOD can be muted by copyright or not.

I can add a rule/info mention that the in-game sound can be diminished until volume 1, volume 2 (definitely not off unfortunately) if you don't really like and want to hear it due to be monotonous. Let me see your opinion about it.

My preference is for the sound to be off. However, if it is required for verification I understand why it would need to remain on. If it is very low and I play music over it I am not certain that is better than no sound.

Having a clear rule posted in the rules is the most important thing. I'll follow whichever rule-set you choose.

The additional info for the sound has been written in the rules, for all loops. The minimum of gameplay sound would be nice for verification.
