As said in the title, would an emulator such as PCSX2 be available for running Individual Levels? I get why it wouldn't be for full game runs, as the loading screens are much faster than the console hardware.

However, I noticed when comparing a single level run I completed on my PS2 and on PCSX2, both the speed, performance, and the times at the end of the level were the same. To make the game more available, splitscreen to be much easier to do, and to record in much better quality, would this method be alrighty?

I would love to start speedrunning MK7, but I feel as though the video quality would be abysmal if a run was recorded using an outside camera. Citra's far more accurate than it was a year ago, and many other 3DS Speedrun games are moving in that direction. I’ve got a save I ported from my digital copy of MK7 on my 3DS, is there a reason for not recording on an emulator?
