Posted May 14, 2018 · Report post I never realized how annoying meteor is without savestates... I tried the final fantasy boss rush afterwards and got meteor full party critted after 50 minutes of playing... Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2018 · Report post Andddd... It got rejected along with my newest speedrun of the Final Fantasy boss rush lmao Because apparently I didn't download the game and install it on to the "preferred" emulator... Either the run is legit or it isn't. So I guess I'm never going to attempt a speedrun of this game again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2018 · Report post Didn't you say you were going to set up a SNES classic? That's a legal emulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2018 · Report post Yes but I'd have to start over because my savestates won't transfer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 14, 2018 · Report post Why the hell did he put specifics on emulators... I could see outlawing specific ones, but having it put to the one that he chose is silly... Unless someone knows how to transfer savestates, which clearly doesn't work, I'm done until v.9 comes out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) · Report post I know it's not the answer you wanted to hear, but it's normal for only specific emulators to be allowed. They have a specific timing and way they handle certain edge cases, not to mention load times may vary. ZSNES for example does certain things slower or faster than SNES9x. I can't speak for the emulator you used since I don't even know what it is, but it likely times differently. It doesn't make any sense to allow all emulators except certain ones, since then you're forced to play wack-a-mole if new emulators or new versions come out. As far as transferring savestates is concerned, it's unlikely to be possible. If it's any consolation though, everyone else will have to do the same thing in order to be competitive in the boss rushes. Also, you don't need any save states to do Smithy% or Xion% Edited May 15, 2018 by Doomsday31415 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post You're certainly correct on everything- but emulators aren't the only thing that forces time variables, often times people use foreign versions of a game just to get edges in load times etc.. Most speedruns only require that you're using an emulator OR console (or arcade etc) but that they be placed into the correct category upon submission. But I digress...

Just to clarify, most speedruns are broken into an emulator category and a console category since even the best emulators tend to have have different load times than actual hardware. However, the emulator category only allows certain emulators. For example, Super Mario 64 requires "Project64 v1.6 or OpenEmu". There are games that don't specify outright, like Super Mario World, but that's a mistake on the moderators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Ya.. still, it sucks that the moment I finally get the two runs in - I'm disqualified lol... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Yeah, it sucks. Even so, I stand by wolfblade's decision 100%. I hadn't considered the factor the emulator was different. But hey, it was an honest mistake - no harm no foul. I really hope you'll get the snes classic set up and try again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) · Report post What bothers me I think the most is the emulator I used is the same (JohnSnes) as Snes9X except a different skin. And I can't even use a Bluetooth controller with this Bareskin Version (the approved one).. ugh. This is garbage. After researching the 2 different emulators - it has been proven via Mudlord that the 2 emulators are the same (JohnSnes is a stolen and reskinned version) hex wise.

Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post If it's the same emulator, then you should be able to use the save states from one on the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post I can't figure out how to access the data folders from snes9x... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Do you have a save state I can have? For the snes9x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Actually.. nevermind. This emulator is completely garbage anyways. It's not capable of speedrun on because you can't use a controller with it. Lol. He should probably take this emulator off the list all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Considering I and many others have used a controller with SNES9x in the past, I'd say you should reconsider your statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Please show me how to do it, because the version I have doesn't allow that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post I deleted it and got the correct version. This one has the Bluetooth options. Just to be sure, the proper emulator is Snes9X Ex+? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post The correct version is SNES9x v1.53+ on Windows. If you want one for android, you'll have to take it up with wolfblade (who will likely tell you to take it up with darkkefka, who isn't going to want to test the game again on android).

Posted May 15, 2018 · Report post Actually, I've got one better. I found out how to get everything on to the MAC itself, downloaded the path, the patcher, the room, and configured my controller.. And now I'm ready to start over with better quality than casting my phone! This actually turned out better ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
