So I asked a couple people and did some looking at it online. From what I can tell it looks like Retron 3 uses a nonstandard nes emulator in it. Looks like just using a emulator like FCEUX 2.2.0 or Bizhawk would be your best bet.

It's not an ending. It's the same game over screen you get if you game over at any other point in the game.

Everybody on the board so far does this so it won't effect anybody I just want to be transparent with everybody anytime I change anything. I'm going to add into the rules that the reset from the previous run needs to be included in submission video. Again everybody already on the board does this, I've just seen problems with this on other boards and want to keep this board as good as it is already.

Sorry I didn't see this forum post until now. I guess they don't give out notifications for posts :/ I personally wouldn't want to add this as a category since it's not beating the game.

Across the board there were a few different timing methods used for this game. Going by the WR run by Croc his timing is on character control and it ends on hitting the power line at 88mph. Added his timing method to the rules and adjusted the time for the runs that were using different timing.

How is timing done in this game. It looks like Croc Docs run he starts on control and ends when hitting the line at the end. If that's right can we add that to the rules please. TY.
