It does depend on what CRT you use. Different crts can have more of a difference than others. I was just going off my (limited) experience lol. Good to know I guess

Although slick RGB capture looks great when you’re watching a run on YouTube or on Twitch, it doesn’t make that much of a difference when you’re playing on a crt. The built in composite on the NES looks fine when you’re playing on a crt, but it won’t look that great on most capture cards. You don’t need great quality to submit runs, anyway (just look at my runs lol).

I might have used the FCEU core when I was testing out OpenEmu. I'm not 100% sure.

Nestopia by far. OpenEmu has a lot of input delay. Note that both emulators run at 60 flat fps (slower than nes), so you will lose around half a second over a 5 minute run.

I used to play on Nestopia mac so take my word kosmicZ

@hitzcritz Taven does walljump room fast accel because he is better at it than one frame jump. How can you be more consistent at ~3 frame perfect inputs than just 1? I have no clue. I guess fast accel involves a more consistent rhythm for him or something. Plus, he gets good walljumps with most fast accels, so subpixels aren’t much of a problem for him.

You don’t need much to submit a run. Taven’s former world record (4:55.746) was recorded by filming a crt with an iPhone SE without using splits. As long as you can see Mario jumping and basic stuff on the screen, you’ll be fine.

For a bit more context, when I first started playing, I was just messing around and got fpg on my third attempt at it (a complete fluke basically). I thought “hey this trick is free! Let’s do it in runs even though I have no pb because that’s obviously a smart idea.” I would get it every now and then, and my consistency was surprisingly good on some days, but I just couldn’t get a pb. I eventually stopped going for it, and I went from a 5:42 to a 5:10 in around 5 days. Don’t be like me please

I would fool around with the cool looking tricks once you have around a 5 flat tbh. It helps to understand more about the game at around that level, and trying to clip into random walls is really fun imo. I wouldn’t implement an fpg into runs until you’re going for 4:57, and I would just do it to save a 379 underground. Don’t be like me and have an obsession with getting fpg in your 5:42 runs.
