Was just wondering why emulators are completely banned.

Emulators are banned because it saves seconds over N64 because emulator has zero lag and N64 has a lot. I think this is the reason.

Well, like every single emulator ever I guess ? I mean between a PS1 and an fully modern specs PC running a PS1 game through an emulator of course there will be no lag, I think it's another reason..
Why would all the other games have emulator section knowing they also minimize lag and loadings ?

The Godleneye Community has always been "close minded" if that even means something.. They are really not open to new strats, new techniques etc.. so imagine playing with an emulator, wtf that be crazy don't it ?

Emulators can give you an advantage, but that's why you have seperate categories between N64 and Emulator.

Not really sure what any of that means LOL. The GE community are always looking for new ways to optimise their runs. Emulators are banned because there is no regulation as to what type of mods could be running to alter the behaviour of the game without any notable visual difference. If emulators weren't banned, then it is likely that the runners would still use console, seeing as a lot of the warps in the game occur because of the lag, and ultimately running on emu would be slower on some levels.

Lag also has a negative effect on Bond's forward movement speed, so using an emulator would give a very unfair advantage over those using console, as the reduced lag would save chunks of time over console. It makes everything a lot fairer and simple if all runs submitted are performed in the same way they always have been - on an unmodded, original N64.

There's nothing stopping you from running the game on emulator if you want to - the times just won't be ranked against N64 times.

Worth checking out The Emu-Lite if you're interested. There's mods to make GE and PD run at a buttery smooth 60fps.

If you want to know why emulator isn't ranked against console then I suggest comparing the following:
Emu Train Agent 42 -
N64 Train Agent 57 (the current world record) -

Dynagamer, i just assume you haven't heard of the time where the community didn't wanna use the strategy where you'd look down to reduce lag, but yeah
