Well, and I fast-forwarded a few hundred times through my movies. The biggest problem for me are the very high requirements for LSNES - "fast forward" speed there is 50% realtime speed for me, Snes9x gives 1000% realtime speed. And I also don't like what seems to happen because of the inaccuracies of Snes9x - some movies were optimized for emulator-dependant lag, at least I think so.
And switching to LSNES will increase chances for console verification for sure. It makes life easier for the emulator developers. Snes9x v1.51 is, for the time being, still accepted.ĭeprecating an old emulator is always a good idea.
Snes9x v1.43 is, as of now, no longer accepted unless it has been granted a continuance, or if there is proof that the movie was done before January 1st 2013. You've been warned.ĮDIT : As of yet, the current ruling can be found here. However, we will be disallowing Snes9x sometime in the future, even though no hard date is yet set. We will accept continuances until Decem23:59 GMT."īut if I said that, some people would probably explode. I would like to say: "You have until Decem23:59 GMT to complete any runs you have started using Snes9x, no exceptions will be made, unless you have been granted a continuance on your existing run." and: "If you feel you have a long run that already had a lot of work put into it, and will need a while to be completed, you may request a continuance in this thread.
lsnes also allows you to input during any input frame, even if multiple input frames occur between any two given video frames, making things like the recent Chrono Trigger movie possible. You may be unused to their interfaces - get used to it. They may be lacking certain features you want, if so, ask their developers to add them. We now have multiple accurate SNES emulators to choose from available on all platforms: lsnes and Bizhawk. Yet plenty of runs kept on being made with v1.43, despite how horrible the sound engine is in that, and that plenty of games aren't emulated quite right, even if you can complete them. It was announced 3 years ago that users should move onto something newer.
There were previous threads pushing this idea, especially for v1.43.
