I was thinking of running this game on my citra emulator but I need to know if emulators are allowed first.

Do you mean running the game on 3ds virtual console, on citra? I'm uncertain how accurate that double emulation is. Would it be possible for you to play on a snes emulator like bsnes or snes9x 1.5 (or newer)? A bunch of SNES emulators are accurate and allowed, and that would be the simplest method.

sure I guess I could just play on snes.
