Discussing with Ron & Jeff
Hello Rodrigo:
As this is an ULTRA FAST time, and sure to raise some questions from your fellow competitors, please be advised...
Emulators are a whole different story. Let me discuss this with Ron. I need to know EXACTLY the emulator type/variant that you are using, and any additional information you can spare...send me a private E-MAIL if need be.
For everyone else involved in the classic NES "Zelda" record, let me discuss this with Ron & Jeff after receipt of tape and based on the information at hand. I'll start the discussion now, perform my usual audit, and send Jeff Lowe a copy to co-verify as such a speedy time is unheard of and we need to make sure all is kosher.
I don't doubt Rodrigo's time at all, not one iota...it's the emulator that concerns me, nothing more. Please allow myself, Ron and Jeff to pursue this one and have an answer for everyone, Rodrigo inclusive, after tape is received and verified, and after we have a chance to contemplate the emulator in question.
Otherwise, this looks like a nearly unbeatable score. Granted a few seconds faster has already been deemed possible via electronic means, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the gamer for now and will do my homework on the verification process.
That being said I am excited to start the audit process once the tape is arrived. I will do an extremely careful audit and Jeff I am sure will do same. Between the two of us and Ron for technical guidance, and most likely Brien King, I am sure we will provide an accurate outcome.
