Submission Message
I have played the Famicom version called Hector '87 on an AV Famicom with the dogbone controller. Therefore I didn't use a turbo controller or any other kind of turbo function. This should also be obvious from my shooting speed in the accompanying video.
The foto was taken from the highscore screen. I could also offer a foto where I put a piece of paper with my username under the screen.
The footage was captured via the VCR under the TV, then burned onto a DVD and processed on the computer. I did not cut any parts of the video. Therefore it starts with the title screen and two failed attempts. My run, where I eventually achieved this highscore, starts at 01:48.
If anything else is unclear or required, please let me know.

Hi and welcome to TG. The game play looks great, but it may be hard to convince members to vote yes on this submission, because it is a direct feed and we can't see the console or even the boot up.

Hi, and thank you for the welcome.
Unfortunately I do not quite understand. What else do I have to submit or show? Isn't the boot up of the console the part right at the beginning, where the screen flashes and the title screen is being displayed? I was sure that I also had a foto of the console and the score screen attached, but somehow it does not show up anymore. So I uploaded it again.
How else should I record the footage?

It is hard to tell if that is the console starting or the VCR starting. If you can record for several seconds before turning on the Famicom, it might be more obvious?

Adding the photo is helpful, yes.

I thing I have found effective is to simply look at literally any other score that has passed the adjudication process to determine what is or is not expected.

Very nice performance. As others have said, though, need a little more added to the submission package. I like to set up a camera and direct feed on most of my submissions. In the worst case, it is camera only (phone camera, actual camera...as long as it provides enough resolution for hardware details and score to be captured legibly).

If doing both direct feed and camera, I start both recordings simultaneously, and use the camera to document the hardware. For consoles, document the hardware first. For arcade, document the hardware last. But either way, the camera footage needs to be contiguous, including the hardware documentation and gameplay footage.

Good luck! Hoping to see a re-performance with proper documentation.

Welcome Sascha Berkael to Twin Galaxy & congratulations a Wr.
Like my fellow Twin Galaxy members advise you with some helpful information
Normally in your video TG members in their video game submissions with show NES console system and a boot-up.
Here is some helpful from https://www.twingalaxies.com/wiki_in...-TG-Guidelines

3Policy How to submit a score to Twin Galaxies
4Policy What should I put in my submission evidence package?
5Policy Guidelines for recording a video game score performance
6Policy What video file formats does Twin Galaxies accept for upload?
7Policy General Gameplay Global Rules and Guidelines for all Submissions

While I think future submissions would be easier to accept if we also had some sort of video of the console starting up and then playing, I think this meets all the criteria we need. The game starts from the title screen, there are no rules or config settings that need to be shown, and we see the full gameplay. A photo shows the hardware, and the video quality is consistent with a legit console recorded via VCR.

I believe this is completely acceptable in the circumstances.
