All the autofire kiddies keep saying it’s not considered cheating if you install a rapid fire circuit in Japan, even though the leaderboards are separated.
Keep in mind, one of /vr/'s favorite eceleb, a washed up midlife crisis man out of his relevance,with many le-tr00 gamer takes, is a major proponent of autofire.So, which is it? To autofire and develop new techniques as a way to differentiate skill and avoid RSI, or just hold down a button like everyone else?

You're still limited to 3 shots on screen at a time so what does it matter? You can tap shoot that fast easily
>>12556534If need to install a rapid fire circuitry on a game that doesn't support it natively or enabled through dipswitches its a cheat.Even NEOGEO unibios considers it a cheat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEigzctyplY
>>12556557>or can't be enabled through dipswitches its a cheat.
>>12556550If the enemy takes multiple hits, you are at an advantage. Especially if you're close enough to the enemy that the 3 bullet limit effectively isn't noticeable.
>>12556526Are there really "people" out there who try to argue that it's not cheating? Ok, try to use an autofire controller in a Tetris tournament. Now let's say you beat everyone who uses the finger rolling method. Is anyone actually going to be impressed? No, because you fucking cheated.
>>12556526Caring about how other people play single player games is really pathetic.
Post clears shitters
>>12556526>autofire kiddiesThey are called "real gamers", anon.People dont care about which twitch e-celebs are on the leaderboards, its a tiny gathering autists. They are a step above speed runners and collectors as they actually play the games as intended, but still just a fringe group of extremists who dont matter because they stopped enjoying games 8 years ago.Being a high score champ in 1987 meant something, once, to the people who were there. You are decades too late to complain about it.
>>12556615Why don't you ever post clears when other people do?
>>12556526>reddit image threadKill yourself for real.>>12556534>one of /vr/'s favorite ecelebFucking who?>>12556615I don't play these kinds of games for competitive reasons, as long as I can 1cc the game, I'll be satisfied.
>>12556678>fucking who?not important.>>12556603/threadUnless it's a competition, then level-playing field and skill expression should be prioritized
>>12556678>>12556720You didnt beat it
>>12556541This board is dead.
>>12556534I'm not saying I'm one of the Tetris guys who can tap in a crazy way, but my brothers always asked me to mash buttons for them because I had a special tapping technique. As proud as I was of my tapping abilities, I'm also getting older and wishing I took better care of my hands. So fuck it, use autofire. As long as you're honest about it nobody cares. Tapping a button fast is one of the least interesting skills in gaming (with all due respect to Master Higgins).For shmups, it does break some games by making you more powerful than you'd naturally be, but I generally don't play those games anyway.
>>12556557Bro even MAME lists it under cheats
>plebbit screenshot thread how do we fix /vr/?
>>12556770Having actual moderation again. Basedposters should be perma'd on sight, for instance, and "DOS roms" could stand to be a blocked word.
