Hate to see you go man! I'd play every game on cart if I could but I just don't have the expendable income to buy every cart.
 
Same here. The cheapest copy I saw on ebay was $49 and that's a bit much to spend on a game that I may not play beyond the week of the contest. I think flash carts allow the use of save states too, so unless the person has their console in the picture, it would look like they were playing on an actual cart based on the screenshot alone.

Not gonna lie, I have a serious issue with the highest scores being played on an emulator without video proof.

Not gonna lie, that's why I won't submit scores if I don't own the game (e.g., this one). When I emulate, I can't help but save state. It's a compulsive thing, whether or not I fall back to them, they're there, and it's tempting.



There's also no excuse for not recording either. File -> log avi. Do a predetermined key press set by Bimmy and continue on with the game. I wouldn't be surprised if a score or 2 was posted this week, especially when there's been the slip up of using save states in the "can an beat every nes game". I don't buy it, and that's why I'll probably stop playing the weekly competitions.

I have recorded videos of runs in the past and I want to do more and post them Youtube,especially for Mega Man games. Also why I created that "thoughts on speed running" thread. ]]> NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=148142 2015-06-17T11:13:31 -05.00 bimmy_lee 142 Originally posted by: barrelsAndRivets

Come on Red,watcha got? Clock's ticking! Tick Tick Tick!

I was still playing up until my 10:57:42 post.  I struck out in an inning I was ahead by 14, but didn't have enough time to try to do better the next inning, so I posted a score from earlier in the day.  I seemed to keep getting to 14 or 15 points ahead, then I'd choke and strike out.
 
 
I don't usually like baseball games, but this one was pretty good.  I bought it 10 to 15 years ago but never got around to playing it.  Now that the contest is over, I think I'll try to actually beat the game.



I beat it last week. It's pretty tough,but then again I wasn't using even close to the lineup I use now so maybe I'd smoke them if I played them with the roster I use.I actually started playing again once I saw that you had a good run going,but I couldn't do any better than a 13 run win. Yeah, it would probably be pretty easy for you now.  I breezed through it last night.  My current team is very different from the one I started with as well.
