How to time a run (i have no splits)

Philippines

A week ago i started doing this for fun and I actually got a run through, but I do not know how to time it properly. Is there anything I should know before submitting it? I played with that one mesen emulator that is allowed. I don't know if that info is necessary.

If you're using MesenRTA, you can use the Autosplitter function for timing it, the only thing is that the script splits everytime you end a level normally/start one after a warp zone, so you'll have to add the splits for each stage, if you wanna time it yourself, start the timer once the ingame timer starts in 1-1, and finish it once you touch the axe in 8-4 and it dissapears. Hope this helps.

I had help and got the final time, but what is this splits.io. do I need that?

You don't need that no. If you want to retime your runs yourself, somewes.com is a good website for that

i have mesenRTA but i don't know how to use the autosplitter. can someboy help?

sure, you just need to download the script for the autosplitter (https://github.com/miklaskarjalainen/SMBAutoSplitter/blob/master/SuperMarioBros.asl), then open LiveSplit, right click on the timer > Edit Layout > Plus sign > Control > Scriptable Auto Splitter > Double click on Scriptable Auto Splitter and click on "Browse..." and pick the Autosplitter, there's a few settings you can change but it sets up automatically, hope this helps

My laptop or my antivitus outright blocked live splits lmao. I'm unable to run the program. I guess that's not the worst

This is the recommended way to enable the autosplitter these days
