K, first time posting. Been watching/making TAS and non-TAS speed runs for a while just to make my friends think I'm that good.
Anyways, I found a Genesis ROM called Megaman - The Wily Wars, which is basiclly just Megaman 1, 2, and 3 redone for the Genesis. After watching Dehacked bust out Megaman X and X2 at the same time, it got me thinking what it would be like to try to bust out a Megaman 1, 2 or 3 run on both a NES emulator and Genesis emulator at the same time. You know, playing Mega Man on NES and Mega Man Genesis version at the same time. The gameplay feels different on each system. It's definetly something that is worth the time. But...
I tried it. I don't have the patience for it anymore. I have school and work going on, and I'm just not that good at doing the really in depth and quality speed runs I've seen done on this site. If anyone gets the wild hair up their ass, I would love to see this done.
I'll cross-post this in the NES section.
Yes, I searched the forums for anything relating to the Wily Wars and didn't see anything. If this is a duplicate post, sorry. I didn't want to dig through a shitload of posts to find out if this idea was already out there.

I can't see this happening in reality... I mean come on, how do you emulate 2 separate games which run on 2 separate consoles with 2 different ways of reading movie inputs. I mean, are you gonna invent a new emulator with a new ".gmvandfcm" movie format just for such a run? Overkill on the setup and I doubt running through 2 different ports of the same game is really interesting, especially since they are essentially the same to begin with.
Edit: Do I have to duplicate this post onto both threads? :S

Agreed with everything here... even IF you get it to work to play them both with the same input, what's the point? I can't see why this would be entertaining.

I don't see the point in having 2 threads for this... one of them will be locked, or they'll be fused anyway. I decided to post here, since I had no idea what jaysmad meant with his post at the other topic.

No way. My ghetto-fab self just set up a camcorder on the monitor to record it. There's no way I could figure out how to do it. I just went old school with it. :D Ghetto speed running. New olympic sport.
