Hi all,
I'm planning to run all of the Zapper games for the NES. I've already done two ("Barker Bill's Trick Shooting" and "Gotcha! The Sport!".) with the emulator Mesen 0.0.6. Mesen displays your crosshairs target on the screen so you know exactly where the player is pointing and shooting. It's clear in my experience so far that there are no advantages to mouse point-and-click, so I'm asking that emulator (at least those with visible crosshairs) be unbanned so that we can post speedrun times as well. If video proof of the size of the game on the PC screen is required also, then that is fine with me. You can either require webcam proof or a streamlabs scene that shows the full display of the monitor where the game is being played, either right before or after the run. Thanks for the consideration!
Emulator is definitely at a big disadvantage for this game with having to use the mouse. I tend to wonder if it's even possible, but I'd like to see it!
If some emulator submissions come in I’ll definitely have no problem including them on the leaderboard
Thanks Carter. That's definitely appreciated. I likely won't submit one until mid April. Given your willingness to allow emulator runs on the board, are you cool with revising the emulator line in the rules that states "emulator runs are banned"?
