The Nintendo Switch version of ACA Twinkle Star Sprites has a fast forward if you hold R-Trigger during cutscenes and text.

Are we allowed to use this button for our runs?

So what are the rules for this game at the moment? I have it on switch but I do not have a capture card. I can record my TV with my Cell phone, itl be 1080p 30-60 FPS fluctuation, is that okay?

Right now I am just doing Time Trial.

P.S - this will be my first speedrun game that I have ever posted runs in. I used to run Amnesia 2: A Machine For Pigs, when it first came out, then stopped running all together.

Thanks for the reply! One question... How do I upload to the individual tracks section? I don't see an indivicual tracks section.

Edit : NVM I found it ;] Thanks

Hey by the way, Since this video shows my setup for SRing, Is it okay? I have my timer in the top right, and it shows that I am running on DeSMuME Emulator.

Is everything Okay here?

I just found a new skip on Roulette Road. Will be posting a video soon.

Edit: Just edited my video and uploaded it. Here it is.

Also @sagar5802 DesMuME Is also for Mac.

Great! Thanks for all the helpful replies.

Can't wait to start running this game. Going to start practicing a bit once I get back home from work in about 6 hours ;]

Well there is actually a standard rule set for using emulators during speedruns. There are specific emulators that are allowed, and the rest of them are not allowed what so ever. But then there are ALSO predetermined sets of rules for emulation with each games community specifically., most of the time anyways.

Here is an example from SRL :

Can I play on an emulator? If the emulator is accurate and the community for that game accepts emulator as a valid choice, then yes, you can. The most commonly used emulators for each system include:

NES - FCEUX 2.2.0 GB - bgb SNES - SNES9x 1.53 GBA - VBA 1.7.2 Genesis/GameGear/SMS - Fusion N64 - Project64 v1.7 For reference, the following emulators are globally banned for use in racing:

SNES - ZSNES, snes9x 1.4x N64 - Project64 2.x GB/GBC - VBA, VBA-M GBA - VBA-M (use VBA instead. If VBA does not support your GBA game, please contact an op.)

That is why I always ask if emulators are allowed if I plan on running something that I don't have a console for at the moment.

Gotcha, I appreciate it. If it ends up NOT being legal, then thats fine. I would just rather use an emulator that is as close to 100% accurate as possible.

Thanks so much! ;] In your latest video that I watched on here, were you playing on a DS or a 3ds? I could not tell.

Also I have one more question haha

Since we can use DesMuME, are we allowed to use X432R ? X432R is a Japanese fork of DesMuME, it is a lot more stable and accurate to the original DS. It also has a bunch of extra features, like increasing the internal 3D resolution. Just Quality of life stuff, besides the stability and accuracy improvements.

Title says it all! ;]

Are we allowed any of the many emulators out there for this game? I sold my 3ds a long time ago and am in the middle of trying to find a used one cheap.

kk np

Are emulators okay for this game? or no?
