A near-perfect port of the NES/FC classic to the Sega Master System. It also introduces new graphics and sound modes that take advantage of the SMS’s hardware.
Features
Near-perfect Accuracy: The game plays almost exactly like the original. While I cannot guarantee perfect accuracy, I feel confident that the port is accurate under normal gameplay.
New Graphics Mode: The port introduces a new graphics mode based on the SNES/SFC port of the game in Super Mario All-Stars/Super Mario Collection. Savor the pseudo 16-bit graphics with more color, backgrounds, and style!
New Sound Mode: The port also introduces a new sound mode that takes advantages of the YM2413 FM synthesizer found in the Japanese Sega Master System and commonly added to systems through aftermarket modifications. This new sound mode’s music is based on the music in Super Mario All-Stars/Super Mario Collection. Immerse yourself in the rich, 16-bit style arrangements!
Per the event rules, if enrollment in Division I is insufficient for a team head-to-head, the communities can be ranked based on the total number of players who successfully complete a challenge run in any of Divisions I-III. ↩︎

It is rumored that a fanfare skip has recently been under development. Does this mean that a sub-hour run is no longer TAS-only?
Mod and Event Info
The romhack is the Aflame respinner for Dragon Quest VI on the Super Famicom here.
The run was submitted as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta event here.
So, what do you think? Is DQVI: Aflame a mod you’d consider picking up for speedrunning? If so, what are you waiting for?
