We are about to start our first competition. We have several games for choice and we are not yet sure which one we will take. We started a poll to see which one you think is the best choice. There are The Guardian Legend for NES, Desert Strike for Genesis/SNES, Mortal Kombat Mythologies for N64 or Alien 3 for Genesis/SNES. Make your choice please.
Thanks to Shadow Byrn who submitted the first emulator-played speedruns for the arcade systems CPS-1 and CPS-2. We got another premiere as well. With Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom we can present the first emulator-played speedrun with voice output. As far as the classic consoles were not capable of such soundeffects we enter the next generation of speedruns with help of final burn alpha.
We made a tutorial to show you what rerecording and savestates mean and how the result can look like when using both in combination. On this way you can easily see and understand how these movies have been done. In the tutorial we use VirtuaNES but every other emulator which supports rerecording can be handled very similar. You can watch the tutorial here .
