Lime Man Moment

@BillyJoe66 that's the most delusional take on Emulation I've seen to date. Are you Nintendo by chance?

@BillyJoe66 "not being an official release matters a lot"

doesn't give any reason or explanation whatsoever

@Toogs the Wii is over a decade old at this point, you don't need a particularity good PC to run the game. Also by that logic all PC games should not have any leaderboards since you need a good enough PC to run them, especially new ones.

No, I don't want to buy a 14 year old game for a console I don't own to play and get a worse experience than what an emulator would give me, is that satisfactory to your inquiry? Really this isn't about me at all I never really expressed the desire to upload a run to the boards, I just think the separation between an ""official"" src board and an ""unofficial"" spreadsheet leaderboard that might just as well be part of src is stupid and the argumentation for it backwards and insufficient.

And if I just didn't wanna buy the game, would that make my points null and void?

What does that have to do with anything?

I don't understand the fixation on "official-ness" of releases, its the literal exact same game, running on different hardware (like VC no less) not some third party bootleg clone or something.

"The community decided to ban emulators a long while ago." - That's not an argument "Emulators are unnoficial releases" - This is irrelevant, since when does this matter for any speedgame? It's literally the ROM of the exact same game, but played on an Emu, "unnoficial releases" are not some sort of modded boogeyman. "Loads are much faster and way too inaccurate than the Wii." - The boards would be separate from the wii and vc boards so them being faster is irrelevant, also inaccurate loads are equally present in the Wii version, they cut out loads for fast runs and dont for slower runs where load times are less important to the time. I don't see why this can't be done for Emu "Even though console loads are different, it's only a few seconds of difference on them whereas on emu it's way more because not everyone has a good PC" - see above, cut the loads out "On emulator it's too easy to cheat." - You can cheat anywhere, most games that have Emu boards don't have any kind of rampant cheating problem, it's not like Emulators make cheating utterly undetectable "YOU 👏 DONT 👏 NEED 👏 A 👏 LEADERBOARD 👏 TO 👏 RUN 👏 SOMETHING " - You don't need your second Kidney either, would be pretty nice to have though. "the answer will remain the same. Emu is banned on the leaderboard and that's it." - unfounded absolutists statement

Emu runs might have an advantage over Wii or VC, but no internal advantage over themselves. What's the point of having a leaderboard for them thats officially unofficial just to have it not on SRC, instead of just putting them in a separate Tab like all other games do it. Yes, I've read https://www.speedrun.com/nsmbw/thread/rhxii and there are no good arguments really in that statement.
