Why is Phone Emulation not allowed for speedruns?
I own an original NES, a copy of Tetris, Dr. Mario, and SMB1. If I'm ever using my NES, I usually spend my time playing Tetris so to get my fix of Dr. Mario, I play on my phone when I have downtime (on the bus, between classes, during less important lectures, etc.). Usually I play level 14 to practice for the DM Championships or try to reach level 24 and loop it a few times. More recently, however, I wanted to give 0-10 speedruns a try. My first submission was rejected on account of "phone emulators is not allowed." Why is this? PC emulation is allowed and I'm using a legal copy of the ROM.
Phone emulation is not allowed for emulation because they are notoriously inaccurate. That's pretty much all there is to it.
