EDIT: So i´m currently uploading my Battle Kid speedrun part by part on Youtube. But someone thought i should ask SDA. Are you SURE you don´t accept this speedrun since it´s a homebrew?

If you bought an original copy and played the game on a nes I'm sure SDA will accept it IF you recorded the footage with a lossless codec or a dvd player and encoded it using SDA-standards.
I recorded it with a video/audio USB grapper and then i rendered it in Sony Vegas. Is that OK?

Its not ok to render it in sony vegas, you need to capture it in a lossless codec, and then render it in anri-chan (easiest)..

Anyway, this game is awesome, and should be allowed at SDA
What´s "lossless codec"? Does it not count with the AV grapper? I can redo this run really fast the right way if SDA accepts it.

To SDA: What do you think? Tongue
Downloadin Anri-chan...

You need to capture it using a lossless codec like lagarith.

Well, im not a techie here at SDA, so if i start explaining, I will probably get something wrong :p
But lossless codec is a codec that captures without reducing the video quality, i dont know how to explain it simpler than that.
AV "grapper" should be OK, but you might have a problem if you cant capture with it in virtualdub or dscaler.

EDIT: Hm, judging from those green lines you have at the begining of the video, and that you are swedish (like i am), your capture device wouldnt happen to be "Deltaco TV-58"?
is this codec thing something downloadable? And also an AV grapper reduces the quality as you can see in the video.

Have fun reading.
That face creeped me out
Wow, dude. That´s harsh. Too much information!

I´m uploading my Youtube speedrun first. It will still be out for public and i can always beat it.

Also, you should get a response from one of the sites admins, if they would accept this game or not.. im guessing you dont want to learn everything about anri-chan/encoding etc and then not get your run accepted here.
I wanna learn it, later Smiley

I just kinda... don´t have the time, maybe.

It's being sold on retail cartridges for the nes, why wouldn't they accept it ?
torch slug since 2006
Because its a homebrew game, but yeah it should be accepted imo.
Well the production values are certainly better than many licensed nintendo games, along with it being an original game (not a romhack etc etc). Also taking into account that it is available on an actual cart, I dont see any reason why it wouldn't be accepted on SDA,
Waiting hurts my soul...
"And by the way, i died 13 times" = Reject

Also, use the forum search:

http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/battle_kid_nes.html
http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/battle_kid_fortress_of_peril_nes.html
What do you mean with reject?

Anyway, i just learned how to search!

If you guys wanna follow the speedrun just search "Battle Kid speedrun" on Youtube. 3 parts are up now.

He means that dying 13 times is pretty much below sda-standards which would result in your run not being accepted.

Where did you hear or read that SDA doesn't accept any homebrew games?
My feelings on The Demon Rush
We accept this game. As for your run, Airrider, I don't know, I don't know enough about this game to judge.
OK. I´ll redo this in the future i think. Btw, i think that the lowest amount of deaths anyone has ever got is 4, and that was the creator Tongue
Vugmer: A person i know posted this in another forum: What types of games do you accept runs on?
Any computer or video game that was ever distributed by a third-party retailer (i.e. not homebrew, shareware, pre-release copies, etc.)

Directly from SDA he said.

Yeah, that's from the old rules. Games are accepted on a game by game basis now when they aren't distributed by a third-party retailer. We have flash game and indie games now, so (my personal thoughts are, and may differ from SDA admin) as long as the games aren't romhacks SDA shouldn't have to worry about any possible copyright issues when accepting homebrew. There's a run of a demo of a game, so I'm guessing as long as the pre-release copy was released to the public, it's possible to run it.
