Have you ever beaten the NES version of Super Mario Bros. in one sitting with no warp zones or save states? I'm talking from start to finish in one go, every single level.

He did not "still beat it, though". He beat an interpretation of the game that got released on an emulator. They are absolutely different whether you like it or not.

For a game like an RPG or strategy game, it doesn't really matter. Even for an easier game, it may not matter much. But for a difficult game when you're relying on split second reflexes, the difference is pronounced and can make the emulated game a lot easier or sometimes harder. It might be fun to defeat it like that, but it's not actually beating the game. Emulating an "impossible" hardcore game like Silver Surfer and claiming to have beaten it like that is a joke.

Nobody wants to take away your fun or say you must buy and set up all this equipment. However the point is that he didn't beat it so can't say he can.

It can add up to minutes of difference in speedruns, nevermind fractions of a second, that's why they're usually disallowed. So no, beating a hard game on an emulator is not the same difficulty or experience. If you use a cycle accurate emulator you might at least have an argument over it.

You don't. That's why there aren't that many extremely hard DOS games and there isn't speedrunning communities built up around it, because there's no standard platform that will play it all the same way genius.

You can cry all you want but emulators that look "perfect" can be off by up to 20% on different frames, but then correct it and it looks like it's the same. They also put hacks and tweaks in the game to make them play right.

It's not just being pedantic or anal, it's just a fact that it will play differently. Some games can be speedrun at different times adding up to minutes overall. The emulator at least has to be cycle accurate.

It's as simple as this: Someone beating a game on an emulator isn't the same as a console. I've never met someone who games on emulators who doesn't use save scumming.

I know this will get flooded with "I don't!" and "Not me", but even if you're telling the truth, you're extremely rare. Whenever emulators are brought up in comparison to consoles, save states are the most common 'perk' thrown out after free games. Remember when bsnes didn't have save states? Mass bitching.

So it is, and always will be... Emulator = Cheaters.

The trick is to not care what others think of you. Play games the way you want to play, and don't have a chip on your shoulder. And at the same time, understand that you might be playing with a handicap.

ah you kids today, it's like your logic is broken. If you say something false online (or in real life), that affects everyone that reads it. This won't give people sleepless nights, but it's worth pointing out that it's a lie. Are you seriously asking about the merit of reading something that's true rather than something that's false?

I'm not talking about going around /vr/ saying they beat SMB, that's more just being pedantic, anyone can beat SMB. The tiny irregularities won't come into play. Games that are considered broken hard though are a genuine accomplishment that some people couldn't do, at least not in a respectable time frame. Writing messages and reviews when it's not even the actual game. All you have to do is say you beat it on an emulator, just clarify that.

It's also well known that different models of consoles have different timings, as evident by console-verified TAS'es performing differently on different console models.

It's also well-known that you'll experience different amounts of input lag depending on what kind of TV you're using.

So if emulators don't count as the real game because they change the game from the original state, then by the same logic you have to decide what TV and console models don't count too.

Tough shit, you did not beat the game unless you beat it on a NES, period. You might be able to beat it on a NES, maybe Battletoads is the type of game that's the exact same on one. But you can't just assume that because there isn't overall slowdown that the game is the same when we know that many games are significantly different in emulation.

Seriously? The NES is perfectly emulated now. The only problems now come from latency in video drivers (1 frame of latency always, can't chase the output stream) and using an LCD instead of a CRT. If you install Retroarch on Linux without Xorg, the first problem is pretty much eliminated (240p might even work with the right old graphics cards). The latter just get a CRT monitor or find a way to hook up a normal TV.

If you want the easy, slightly less than perfect but pretty damn close way, get a Wii, install Retroarch on it and run it in 240p over component cables (if that works with your particular CRT TV, otherwise just run RCA)

Fuck off and stop spamming your shitty software all over /vr/. Don't you ever get tired of spamming this same shit for months straight?

It's already been thoroughly established why no one wants to use that piece of shit frontend in the first place. It's bugged out as fuck and wrecks configuration options on a random basis. RA slaps together a bunch of popular third-party emulation cores like NEStopia or snes9x, and the it calls itself an original emulator. There's literally no reason not to use the actual emulators those cores are taken from. At least they'll work out of the box, whereas using RA just fucks with their base functionality and configuration.

The thing about platformers is there's a bit of practice involved in being good at them. The thing in my case is, I've only played through the levels of that game a few times in my life. Mostly, what ends up happening, is, Mario keeps dying somewhere between world 4 and 6, 7 if I'm lucky. Then I'll have something else to do. Then once I get back to it, I don't feel like doing it all over again so soon after a game over, I get frustrated and play a different game.

This guy is hilarious. Next time I say I've beaten a game that I played using the laptop keyboard on an emulator, I'll get a sense of satisfaction from some "muh original hardware" retard shaking his fists.

Playing the PAL version is much further off gameplay-wise than emulating the NTSC, for fuck's sake, if I played this as a kid I wouldn't be experiencing anything like the "muh authentic console feel".
NES emulation is for all intents identical.Stay mad, faggot.

Just loaded up SMB after more than half a decade in honour of this thread.

No save state used or warp zones, made it to 5-3 before getting the game over.

You guys try the same, it will be fun, let's see how far we can get on first try after ages.

Also I'm genuinely impressed by this game. It still feels fucking great, platforming feels solid, levels are well designed, Mario's momentum requires mastery and the game sure is unforgiving with the little lives you have. Coins are therefore always satisfying to get to reach that 100 for the extra life. Feels just as good as it did when I was 5. Timeless game to be sure.

Retroarch works fine for me. In fact the GBA emulation I got on it works far better than the standalone does. Only real issue I have with it is that it seems needlessly difficult to change button configurations. So I just use the standalone for NES games since it has O mapped to jump and X mapped to run for Mario for example.

I use a DS3 since 360 dpad is shit.

Config is a bit fucked in Retroarch but once you set it up with specific controls for each system it's a dream. Every RA core runs better for me than the emulators themselves - I can barely run MAME on my laptop, on this thing they run smoothly. Same thing with Mednafen.

Thirty without warps is just not.
There are eight worlds of four stages each.
That's 8 × 4 = 32 stages total.
Thirty minutes equals eighteen-hundred seconds.
1800 seconds ÷ 32 stages = 56.25 seconds per stage.
While I don't say this is impossible, it's mathematically unlikely that a non-autist could use under a minute per stage to beat every stage in the game without warps.

I just sperged out and did some furhter calcumuhlations if anyone is intermuhrested (likely not, but I'll post my findings if asked).
Suffice to say, now that I've done the research, I'm quite confident Anon does not beat Super Mario Bros. without warps or cheats in thirty minutes.

Breaking it down mathematically like that makes /me/ seem like the autist, I know, but seriously: it's just not likely and I don't believe him.

1-1 is the most straightforward. There are no huge pits. There are no moving platforms. There are no pixel-perfect jumps necessary. There are no hammer bros. There's no swimming and the little chasm-y things that suck the PC into them. All others can be measured relative to 1-1 because all others will take more time. And lets not forget that there's about a twenty second pause between 1-1 and 1-2 (touching the flagpole, walking into the castle, walking out of the castle, going into the pipe, and being able to control the PC again).

10-20 second intervals between levels, Anon. Excepting worlds 3, 5 and 6, there's one underground or underwater subworld or mandatory part of a subworld per world (such as 1-2 in world 1, 2-2 in world 2 and the underwater section of 8-4) which tacks on an additional 10 seconds per transition (down the pipe, emerging and up the pipe again at the end).

Once more, I call shenanigans!
It's just not possible and I did the 'sperg calcumuhlations to prove it even further than >>2518223 did. Without glitching or using any warps of any sort, it is impossible to play through every stage of the game in thirty minutes.

Here's an example of one of the calcumuhlations I did: using the in-game timer, I timed how many blocks the player character can run in fifteen seconds then divided this number by five to get the average running speed of 18⅓ blocks per five seconds. For the sake of kindness, I rounded down to 18 blocks even. 1-1 is about 200 blocks long from start to flagpole. 200 ÷ 18 = 11.11~, so I rounded down to 11 even (again, to be kind). This means that there are 11 five-second intervals from start to finish in world 1-1 IE that it takes 55 seconds to beat.
I timed it by modifying the game to remove all enemies, leaving only obstacles and coins. My first run through was 59 seconds followed by 56 then 58 seconds. A reasonable margin means that my 55 second estimate for 1-1 from start to flagpole was spot on.

55 seconds > 45 second average necessary per stage according to >>2518223 and other level is as straight forward as 1-1 is, each taking longer to beat than that.

So yeah: bullfuckingshit Anon beats it playing through every level without warps in under 30 minutes. Shenanigans.

Just because you fucking suck at the game doesn't mean everyone here does. Speedrunning SMB isn't that hard. It's very easy to run through most of the levels.

Also I still never managed to beat super mario bros with warp zones, doesn't mean I don't love the games though. I was raised with them, I'm just not that amazing at them.

The summer after my sister got her first appartment I'd stay a few days at a time and we'd pick an NES game to beat each morning, watch a couple of movies in the afternoon, and git gud at the game we were going to clear the next day that night.

Long story short, I've not only beaten the NES version of Super Mario Bros many times, I've also beaten the second quest many times.

I don't know about VHS but if you saw a movie on a snowy analogue tv signal or with poor noise then you also shouldn't say you saw the movie. Because you didn't see it how it was intended and you're not talking about what everyone else is talking about. There's an appreciable difference, just like there is with emulation a lot of the time.

It's not trying to be elitist or anything, it is just that you shouldn't claim you beat a hard action game - and write reviews and comments about it - if you only did it through emulation.

sorta related

i'm playing through SMB3 with no warps and my wife (inb4 retron5) was blow the fuck away by how hard some of the levels are later in the game.

i let her play on the final levels of world 7 and she couldn't even.

i took back the controller, beat them, beat the castle and started on world 8....

It is not wrong, everything I said there is 100% correct.

What are you thinking of, are you thinking of Quake Done Quick? A bunch of guys around the internet speedrunning for competition? Oh wow, one game. Speedrunning consoles have huge communities, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark speedrunning are going strong to this day. Even shitty obscure games have large speedrunning competitions on consoles. There is no comparison.

The 20% difference is a known and accepted fact by everyone. Your source and knowledge are just your own delusional imagination of what you wished was reality.

You write like a crazy person

There's a huge DOS and PC speedrunning community, plus plenty of speedrunners use emulators and emulated software. That doesn't even count tool-assisted speedruns, either

You're probably one of those crazy people who say you can't beat Punch-Out on a modern TV because of "screen lag" or whatever
