Hi there, i'm new to the community and I'am trying to get into speedrunning the game, I have a macbook air m1 from 2022 and I'am currently playing Super Mario Bros and other NES titles on the 'Open Emu' emulator. I just wanted to check if this qualifies as a legible platform to submit a speedrun on.

Thank you.

Hi there, in the rules say that you can use Open Emu as far as you use the Nestopia core.

What do you mean by the "Nestopia core" ???

Well, i don't own an Apple device, but i understand that in the OpenEmu menu, there should be somewhere to download an ''emulator'' (core) into the emulator (like in retroarch).

If You didnt get My idea, u can just download Nestopia or Treecreepios mesen.

Sorry if I didnt explain myself well enough :(, Im not a native English speaker.

OpenEmu → Settings/Preferences → Cores → Nestopia → Install

just note that every NES emu on Mac runs at 60FPS flat instead of the actual 60.09881389 the NES normally runs at, which make a difference of about 0.5 second in an Any% run and about 2 seconds in a Warpless run

Thank you everyone so much for the advice I really appreciate, looking forward to getting sometimes up on the board
