AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA
Hello.
I got a 13:24 in Battletoads (NES), which is near perfect. I'm confident that this won't get any better for a long long time. But I have my doubts whether my file will be accepted. The video and audio is fine, but there's this awful AMV logo on the bottom left which I had no idea Amarec was going to sneak into the playback after I changed codecs. I'm very saddened by this.
I really want to try to make this work, so I have a couple options. I don't know if runs with this annoying AMV mark ever get accepted (if they do, I would be most grateful), but there is one option to get rid of it that would require bending a small rule which I'm hoping the play quality is enough to let slide.
At the bottom of the submission form, it says in parenthesis for quality purposes not to submit twitch broadcasts, which is completely understandable due to how bad most people's streams look. However, my twitch broadcast of this run had pretty good quality, almost as good as the raw file. It plays smooth at full frame rate, there's no cut or chop or delay anywhere that I can see after examining it carefully, there's no half-hour broadcast reset, and it doesn't have that logo. Only downside is it looks like the brightness got turned up, that's all, so the black parts are now a mild shade of greyish-black and the brighter parts of the game (which are few and short) show slight blotting in the background, barely noticeable. I've cropped it to show only the game window in its correct aspect, and dubbed the stream audio with the raw file's audio. It looks and sounds good, you can see everything clearly, and it doesn't even look like a broadcast. The only question remaining is how it would hold up during verification.
I heard this might be an option if the stream quality is decent, but I wanted to check here to be sure. I could maybe send the raw file along with it to prove it's legit. What should I do?
