New emulator rules posted

Hello,

Emulator guidelines have been added to the game to clarify the settings and versions for Dolphin. This was in response to some confusion (especially since Dolphin had/has confusing versioning).

The main takeaway is: please update to Dolphin 2412 or later, verify you are using "Emulate disc speed", and when you submit please include the emulator version in your submission. Other settings required are disabling cheats and custom textures.

Please let me know of any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

AKD

Would I be able to submit a run using Nintendont on my Wii and a capture card, or do I HAVE to use dolphin if I’m going to emulate it.

Nintendont has the same settings mentioned such as disk speed and cheats disabled.

Go for it (just please disclose this and the version in the submissions). Nintendont is a bit of an unknown but this question has come up, it's assumed to be fine, there is some analysis being done but in the worst case I think we'd allow it under a split leaderboard (this may still happen even for Dolphin in the future, it isn't really a big concern right now).

The main issue is the load times varying by significant amounts making it difficult/impossible to mix times together in an ordered ranking. As far as I understand, Nintendont is just a software loader that emulates the disc drive and maybe memory cards? If there's an option to use the regular memory cards that would be preferred, but otherwise I assume it's running the game exactly like the Wii would.

In the long run solutions like this should be embraced because working discs and disc drives will only get rarer over time.

On further review, it appears like Nintendont in spite of its settings, still emulates load times wildly inaccurately, enough that it is very difficult to look the other way like we do with Dolphin. So please avoid Nintendont for runs until this issue is corrected (not that I think there is anyone working on it). Like I said, I think it would be ideal to use the Wii hardware to run the game, but ironically, Dolphin is going to be more accurate to an original hardware experience for speedrun purposes for now.

Glitchless Leaderboards

As promised in the previous post, Any% Glitchless is promoted to a first-class category with each class as a subcategory. This is in recognition of a lot of attention on classes other than FOnewm that would otherwise be buried and hidden. Only the Any% categories were set like this (and Ep.2 only di
