  • Make a post in this thread saying that you want to participate.
  • IM Douche - Zerodivide54
  • Email Douche - djf187 (Insert @ thing here) psu.edu
  • Private Message Douche - Click Here!

Rules

  1. Everyone MUST use the same emulator. It has been discussed and that emulator is SNES9X version 1.51
  2. Every week a challenge will be posted. This challenge will either come from Syd or myself.
  3. Any game in the North American library is fair game, so yes there might be a challenge for Barbie. (Doubtful, but you never know.)
  4. All rules regarding a specific challenge will be described on the date of the challenges.
  5. Save states and cheat codes are not allowed. Anyone found to be using either will be disqualified from the entire competition.
  6. A movie file must be submitted to me or my cohort, yet to be determined, by the deadline issued.
  7. The winner of this set of challenges will win $1,000,000 if after winning they can find and capture Osama Bin Laden.
  8. The competition will start on December 15th. Since Dec 15th is finals week for most college students, the first challenge will span 2 weeks.
  9. Some challenges may require you to use a save file that I will provide. It is not my fault if you accidentally erase any save files you already have for a specific game. Take the proper precautions.

Requirements

SNES9X Instructions

Windows XP Users

  1. Install the Application
    1. Download snes9x for Windows
    2. Create a folder called snes9x

  2. Prepare for the challenge
    1. Download the Rom file
    2. Place the .smc file into the \snes9x\Roms folder
      • If the Roms folder does not exist, you will need to create it.
      • All roms will be delivered in a .zip file. It is not neccessary to unzip the file but you can unpackage the file (just double click it) if you would rather the rom show up as a .smc file.
    3. Download the save file (It will usually have a .000 extension)
    4. Place the .000 file into the \snes9x\Saves folder
      • If the Saves folder does not exist, you will need to create it.
  3. Starting the Game
    1. Launch snes9x.exe
    2. In the File menu select Open Rom Image…
    3. Browse to the \snes9x\Roms folder and select the .smc file you previously downloaded

    4. Run the snes9x application once
    5. Quit the snes9x application
  2. Prepare for a challenge
    1. Download the Rom file
    2. Place the .smc file into the \Applications\snes9x\Roms folder
      1. It is common that the Rom will be delivered in a .zip file. You must unpackage the file (just double click it) prior to gaining access to the .smc file.
    3. Download the save file (It will usually have a .000 extension)
    4. Place the .000 file into the \Applications\snes9x\Freezes folder
      • If the Freezes folder does not exist, you will need to create it.
    5. Rename the .000 save file by adding “.frz” after the three zeros in the file name
      • The file name should be similar to: Example.000.frz
  3. Starting the Game
    1. From \Applications\snes9x launch the SNES9X applications
    2. In the File menu select Open Rom Image…
    3. Browse to the \Applications\snes9x\Roms folder and select the .smc file you previously downloaded

Questions

The Games

Challenge #1

  • When: December 15th
  • Due: December 28th - 11:59 P.M.
  • Game: Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
  • Challenge: Beat all 3 bosses from the save files distributed. Fastest time wins. In case of a tie most health left wins.
  • There are three parts to this challenge. The total time from all three parts will be combined as the challenge time. Start time for all three parts is when the Boss music begins. End time for all three parts is when the boss begins to explode.
  • Part 1: Using what you have in your inventory you must dispatch Helmasaur as quickly as possible.
  • Part 2: Using what you have in your inventory you must dispatch Arrghus as quickly as possible.
  • Part 3: Using what you have in your inventory you must dispatch Blind as quickly as possible starting the fight without full health.
In case of a tie the winner(s) will be determined by how many hearts they retain after Blind is defeated.

Challenge #2

  • When: December 29th
  • Due: January 4th - 11:59 P.M.
  • Game: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
  • Challenge: The given save file will start you at Balrog. Your mission whether you choose to actually complete it in its entirety or not...You are Ken. Ken knows two things...kicking ass and taking names. However one thing Ken needs practice on is his Dragon Punches. Apparently when they were filming Street Fighter the Movie he forgot how and now he needs a refresher course.
  • When you start the challenge there is no stipulations on how you must fight, only on how you must win. Every opponent must be finished with a Dragon Punch. They also must be finished each round with a Dragon Punch. If you finish them off with a different move the run is over. You CAN lose rounds, but there are no continues.
