Reminder: Reset to title screen required for submissions
6 years ago
Nevada, USA

Hi all,

Due to a rash of submissions lately that did not show a reset to the title screen prior to the run, we're posting this reminder to please show the reset to the title screen in your run submissions. If there is no reset to the title screen, we'll simply reject the run with a note to re-submit with the reset to the title screen shown.

This is just one of many mechanisms and rules we have in place to make sure all runs are valid.

Thanks!

The point is, you need to have a reset shown, or if it's an accidental save state it needs to go to the game selection screen for a multi-cart/multi-game rom (SMB+duck hunt and/or+track and field)

Others have game overed and let the title screen reload after a game over. That's fine too. As long as the game over and title screen reload is shown.

You must use the reset function of the emulator. Or if you have a savestate to the game selection screen in a multicart that is fine too. It's not that hard guys.
