What's your current time, and which save room are you at? That'll give people a better idea of time. Since this site's all about speedrunning, you may want to change the title to "My Emulated Speedrun". How many times are you planning to use save rooms during the run?
An emulated speed run isn't really a speed run, imho. Playing with emu is like practicing for your run while your actual run is done on GB Player (or handheld of you dont wanna record).
Well, the problem comes with honesty / trustworthiness. I'm sure that any number of people here would create legit emu runs, but you can never really prove it, so the assumption is always 'used save states'.
Virtualization: We will NOT accept speedruns recorded on emulators (ZSNES, VBA, DOSBox, etc.) or other virtualization software (Wine, VMware, etc.). Emulators commonly allow for recording games frame-by-frame and then playing back the input at normal speed. Also, most emulators and virtualization programs have minor inaccuracies in timing and slowdown that inhibit accurate comparisons between runs. Finally, it is generally illegal in most countries to obtain ROMs. Note that an exception is made for officially sanctioned emulators such as the Game Boy Player for GameCube, Virtual Console, or GameTap. Due to problems with many official emulators, however, we prefer that you play on the original hardware whenever possible.
Basically, if it's emulated, it doesn't count (unless it's an official emulator like the Gameboy Player).
you should try to save as little as possible. also he's using a different version of vba, so i can't watch the movies. i probably wouldn't bother anyway.
let's hear your ending time and then we'll go from there.
I'll offer congratulations, as it's still a fairly resonable time, but you're about an hour behind the current record. Keep trying, and you'll soon start getting your time down.
