Hello! Here is an update on the rules.
First off, I want to apologize for not being more transparent when we decided to update the rules. I didn't realize that the reset requirement would cause such an issue. We will try to post to the board first before going through with any pending rule changes. We will be removing the reset requirement. It is preferred but not required because it makes it easier to verify the run.
General Rules:
Real Hardware and Emulator runs will be valid. If you run on an Emulator, please specify which one are you using and it's version. Only Gens emulator is banned, the rest are fine. Any emulator-specific function to reduce lag is forbidden. Game screen must be fully shown. Avoid having splits covering the game feed or having a bad crop on the video. Twitch/Youtube alerts are valid. Input display on game screen is valid.
Thank you again to all the new runners. It is really nice to see the community really grow over the past year.
@Wedgiroth What do you use for your Netplay? I know some people have had success with using Fight Cade. One other suggestion is to try Parsec if you aren't already using it.
