Hi, i'm going to try and start running this game on my AVS. It's not an emulation box but a hardware clone, however it runs games at an even 60fps rather than the 60.1 or whatever it is that a real NES runs at. Just was wondering which category this qualifies for. Thank you.
Personally, I'm quite torn on the question of FPGA machines. Despite claiming to have 100% reproduction, the Analogue does not play all games the same as on original hardware. Who knows how well they will reproduce games with custom mappers.
The real question is whether or not it reproduces the lag correctly. If you can provide video of the gameplay and it lags in a similar way, I think that will go strongly in your favour.
Also, running at a very slightly slower framerate is not too much of an issue, but I will not be scaling the time; if you play at a slower framerate you get a slower time. Otherwise we could all just play at half speed and get the perfect run.
Hopefully the other runners can chime in with their opinions but this is a pretty niche game with few runners. If we do end up approving it, I will add AVS to the platform tab.
Here's some footage I captured casually running through stage 3. Not really sure what to look for exactly in terms of lag though.
Tell you what, after looking at your YT channel, I have the feeling that you actually care about these games and are not looking to cheat some records, or rather, that you would probably avoid it to keep your name clean. I say we allow it for now and then if people raise concerns we take it from there.
