Alright, I've been unbanned from the srl channel, so now at least I can help moderate the races. I will submit my movie files, for the sake of doing so, but I will not count my runs official/valid until I can stream. I can be present in the race channel for the sake of moderating/logging but will not be able to enter unless I can start streaming.

Got more than I'd hoped for taxes, so hopefully i'll be able to stream fairly soon.

I think the rules/guidelines we'd like to apply should be developed some more, especially if this is to turn into a Kafuka event.

The rules for our setup should closely mimic SpeedRunsLive's FAQ especially since we'll likely be using their timekeeping medium. That being said, the recap for the main rules and guidelines are as follows:

- No emulator assist-tools whatsoever.
- Game must run at a 100% speed.
- Game version must be the same as everyone else's. (SNES SMB3 and NES SMB3 are similar enough to be an exception)
- Glitch usage must be specified before match (note: no specifications means you can use whatever glitches you want)
- Specify your goal. (any% means get to the end of the game any way you can. Example: any% warpless for SMB3 means "complete the game without warp whistles. 100% means complete all levels.)
- Cheat codes may be used ONLY if it is specified in the goal.

I'd really like to emphasize the need to have people stream their runs, only because of the uncertain circumstances associated with those who complete their runs in a manner that isn't easily verifiable with the public. A way to compete without streaming is still being discussed. One method is that you must record an emulator movie file (so we can tell if you used savestates or not) and also render a movie file for upload to YouTube. You must also be present on the SpeedRunsLive race channel where you can be accounted for by the bot, so we have a time for you. That way, if there's any suspicion of cheating, we can check your time against the video file you rendered and we can check the actual emulator movie file you recorded. You cannot submit any runs that have not been recorded by the combination of: 1) the bot accounting for your entry; 2) emulator movie file; and 3) YouTube video file. This means that you can't pre-record your runs and just submit your best one because the SRL bot wouldn't have a time for you.

That post really isn't that big. What are you referring to then? The link? That's not that bad either.

What kind of ine and internet connection do you have? I'd like to be able to get a computer that has enough oomph to do all that processing. I have a USB capture card (Gamebridge) to grab video from. I have several systems, but I'd also like to be able to use emulators to do all that as well. So, when the time comes, I'll probably be pestering you, Acmlm, to get me started. I've already fiddled with some of the programs (Xsplit) and FME. Hopefully all goes well and I can finally participate.
