it is up to the moderators to answer them.

emulators are not allowed, you have to play the console in digital or physical version, digital can be obtained through homebrew, I can recommend using New 2DS XL because it has faster loading times
After checking the loading times and asking the runners about the console model and how I checked on the 2DS, I can't tell if it was on the digital version or the physical version except for the 2DS, due also to the lack of testing due to unavailability of testing, the Old3DS XL and New3DS remain without times, here are the results.
- New2DS XL: 24.667 (Software DL ver.)
- New 2DS XL: 24.950
- New3DS XL: 25.033
- New3DS XL with ntr: 25.033
- New3DS: -
- 2DS: 25.933 (digital)
- 3DS: 26.167
- Old3DS XL: -
As a result, the New2DS XL seems to be the faster option for speedrun due to loading times, it should be mentioned that I have not pronounced emulators here because loading times are still inconsistent with the console, in BizHawk it came out over 24,483 so it would require a discussion on that, Lime3DS/Citra PabloMK7? and probably Azahar in loading times after testing with me, radu and vegemii it turned out that the loading times depend on the hardware, however they are a little slower than New2DS XL and New3DS XL it still doesn't change than against for example Old3DS, it should be mentioned that from the opening cutscene it was tested from pressing start to the appearance of the dialogue, I also want to thank some of the runners for sharing information and for helping with the tests.
I will update this thread if something was tested

Blindfolded for this game sounds interesting, however there aren't many people who would be interested in it and I don't think this category will ever be added, you could however submit a blindfolded run to 1 of 2 categories
@Theospecial222 BizHawk 2.9.1
We have an RPG Maker Speedrunning server but we have a channel dedicated to Ao Oni https://discord.com/invite/svD6xjK
I am interested in this game and I have to say that it is not a good idea to have a subcategory for each language version, the texts in the game do not make a difference in time, this creates unnecessary additional categories, I am Pocket Mirror ~ GoldenerTraum moderator in which the language version matters but we do not have a subcategory, I am in favour of removing the subcategory, it is totally unnecessary.
Citra emulator from PabloMK7 and Lime3DS admittedly are accurate with the console and have the same speed but the problem is the loading times, during my tests on the Lime3DS 2116 in 3 levels, the emulator has further faster loading times but not as much as a few years ago loading times by a few frames, I know that Super Mario 3D Land allowed them as subcategories but I do not think they are now allowed on these leaderboards even though the 3DS and emulator already have the same speed but faster loading times by a few frames on the emulator.
@ButterflyPark have added such skipping but you have to mash, maybe on this speedrun you can see that it looks automatic but my mashing is 11-12 times per second
EN: No, modifications are not allowed except for those that the rules allow, besides we don't know if this mod changes the behaviour of this game in any way.
PL: Nie, modyfikacje są niedozwolone oprócz tych które zasady na to pozwalają, poza tym nie wiemy czy ten mod zmienia zachowanie tej gry w jakiś sposób.
Thank you for reporting this, Mednafen has been removed in the choice of platforms.
Descriptions found and links to Turbo controllers for Nintendo Switch on the Mario & Luigi Speedrunning discord, the PC can play the turbo application which can help skip texts faster as well as with any controllers from other manufacturers, most controllers for PC will not work on Switch and you need to buy a controller with turbo functionality for that console, PS5 and XboxSeries X/S is not possible with Turbo playback due to the fact that it does not have it yet, however Switch does and if anyone is interested then you can buy controllers from this top
- Horipad + for Nintendo Switch https://stores.horiusa.com/horipad-for-nintendo-switch-1/
- Fire rate of 20.25Hz
- Customizable through Hori software (Macros not allowed)
- This controller is better considering Fire rate
- 8BitDo Pro 2 https://www.8bitdo.com/pro2/
- Fire rate of 16.8Hz
- Customizable through 8BitDo software (Macros not allowed)
- This turbo controller is very popular but has a slower fire rate, it's ideal for new players but if you want to be faster it's not worth buying it
- Horipad Wired Controller https://stores.horiusa.com/horipad-for-nintendo-switch/
- Fire rate of 20.1Hz
- Cannot customize button layout.
- Probably the cheapest controller out there at $20 on amazon
- There are some pros and cons to buying it, controlling the turbo button can be awkward, probably the cheapest controller, it's a great alternative with fire rate if you're looking with a lower price tag, it can be a tad slower than the Hori Pad + controller but it's fine to skip texts faster, it's also available on many online ordering sites than the Hori Pad +
I'm in favour of removing the variable and removing the runs because of the fast forward feature, using such emulator features is not right and leads to an unfair advantage over the original version, besides that you won't be in first place anyway if you use the original version by using the feature in EasyRPG, no one allows this and most RPG Maker 2000/2003 games forbid EasyRPG, notice in Space Funeral that there is a subcategory for the original version as well as EasyRPG and not even fast forwarding is allowed, I would like for Wadanohar to see pure competition and leaderboards and probably most will confirm this too
